Living at the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel in Hilo

Comfortable Accommodations

During the week, the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel is our home away from home. Enjoy the banyan tree grounds of the hotel, where the bay laps along the lava rocks, Coconut Island is steps away to explore, and Mauna Kea stands in the distance. All rooms are doubles and have private bathrooms, air-conditioning and cable-television. Our participants enjoy hotel amenities, including a swimming pool, full service restaurant, free wifi in the lobby, gift shop and more.

During the week, our group eats breakfast and dinner together at our hotel’s restaurant. Lunch is provided at the various service projects.

After volunteering each day, enjoy different late afternoon options, including relaxing at the pool, exercising at the gym, playing tennis, running along the trails of Liliuokalani Gardens, or using the wifi in the lobby to catch up with family and friends. Afternoon fun also includes local field trips to the rainforest, where we hike to beautiful waterfalls, exciting trips to Volcano National Park and Punalu’u Black Sand Beach, and visits to famous Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory. Every evening, enjoy various group activities, including authentic Hawaiian cultural activities and nights at the movies, bowling, etc.
