Hilo, THE BIG ISLAND

USA | Wednesday, 14 September 2011 | Views [291]

WE LOVED 'THE BIG ISLAND'!!

The Big Island is not that big, and 2 weeks was the perfect amount of time to drive, hike, camp and snorkel our way around the island.

DAY 1: On the 14th September, we flew into Hilo Airport on the East coast, and stayed at the Hilo Backpackers Hostel.  It was a nice short flight, followed by a long walk through my favorite airport yet (open air, hall lined with beautiful tropical plants).  After arriving at the hostel, where we had our own private room with beautiful furniture and a very comfortable mattress, I spent the first day finding information on the Volcano National Park and hiking tracks on the island.

DAY 3: Today we spent the entire day hiring a car for the next 2 weeks.
