Experience the history and natural beauty of old Hawaii, unlike anywhere else in the islands, as you will soon discover Hilo Bay captures the feeling of going back in time. Hilo Bay is a large bay located on the eastern coast of the island of Hawaii. The modern town of Hilo overlooks Hilo Bay and located north of the bay runs the Hamakua Coast on the slopes of Mauna Kea and south of the bay is the Puna district on the slopes of Mauna Loa. As you paddle, you will be surrounded with the majestic snow-capped peaks of Mauna Kea crater in the distance. Your experienced guide will share with you the history of the last Hawaiian monarch at Queen Liliuokalani Japanese Gardens as you make your way to Coconut Island. Coconut Island or Moku Ola, is a small island in Hilo Bay, just offshore from Lili’uokalani Park and Gardens.

Coconut Island, Hilo, Hawaii, United States Coconut Island, also known as Moku Ola, which literally means “island of life” in the Hawaiian language, used to be a site of an ancient temple dedicated to healing. During the olden times, the island's spring waters were known to cure all sorts of ailments. The island is also known as a place of refuge for ancient Hawaiians who broke the law. All they have to do was swim to the island without getting caught by the warriors chasing them then they will be pardoned for whatever crime they had committed. 20 minutes
Liliuokalani Gardens, Hilo, Hawaii, United States Resting along Banyan Drive, in historic downtown Hilo, you will find the beautiful Lili’uokalani Gardens, the largest, authentic Edo-style ornamental garden outside of Japan. Queen Liliuokalani, donated the original five acres of land to create a public park in 1907. This was increased to seventeen acres by the Legislative Committee concerned with management of public lands in November 1917.

I would not recommend this tour. We had to pull our own kayak across the street to the water. You paddle to the island, relax and/or swim and then paddle back to their facility. I NEVER had to haul my own equipment on a tour especially when they charge over $100 per person.

There were turtles feeding on the rocks when we got in the kayaks and again when we returned. It would have been nice if the kayaks were waiting for us on the shore rather than
wheeling them down the block.
Our guide was excellent and overall we had a great time.
