Hilo, the nearest "big" town, is about 45 minutes to the north. Peaceful and free from tourism, it offers a 1930's art deco theater, quaint architecture, fine restaurants and a twice-weekly farmers' street market filled with exotic native flowers and fruits unlike anywhere else in the world.

Hilo also provides medical services, a hospital, a mall - including Borders, Walmart, etc., and two excellent health food stores.

Just             north of Hilo along a spectacular jungle coastline, one of the finest botanical gardens in the world follows a cascading stream and waterfalls down a lush canyon to the sea.
