Arrival, information and getting around
|
|
|
Downtown Hilo is compact and very walkable. However, the urban area extends for several miles, and the
airport
at
General Lyman Field
(tel 808/935-4782), on the eastern outskirts, is well beyond walking distance. If you're not renting a car at the airport, a taxi into town is your only alternative, costing around $8.
The
Hawaii Visitors Bureau
is at 250 Keawe St (Mon-Fri 8am-noon & 1-4.30pm; tel 808/961-5797). Hilo's HeleOn Bus Company (tel 808/961-8744) operates a small-scale
city bus
service, plus one service each to Kailua (Mon-Sat) and down to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (Mon-Fri) from the Mooheau Bus Terminal on Kamehameha Avenue. Other useful information
