From 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM
In Hilo, you'll discover a small, quiet town on Hawaii Island's windward side. The vibe here is definitively Old Hawaii.

Enjoy its lovely landscaping, arching bridges that pass above fishponds, walking paths, pagodas, Japanese stone lanterns and a teahouse.
Insider tip
Buy a lei to wear while you're in town, and then toss it in the ocean as you leave. Tradition says if your lei floats back toward shore, you will return to Hawaii.

From 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Situated at the northernmost end of the Hawaiian archipelago, Kauai is Hawaii's oldest island. It's rich with emerald-colored valleys, jagged mountain cliffs and tropical rainforests — which account for its nickname, the Garden Island. Cruise to Kauai and relax on Kauapea Beach, also called the "secret beach," where white sands stretch along steep cliffs near the Kilauea Lighthouse. Venture out to the Waimea Canyon for some hiking: When you see the canyon's rocky, red-hued walls, you'll understand why it's called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Or go kayaking along the Na Pali Coast — you might recognize the rocky cliffs and turquoise waters from the original "Jurassic Park," which was filmed here.
