This is a simple video of the actual dock where Cruise Ships stop when in Hilo Hawaii. This can be a big help in planning your day if you are considering what to do once you get there like just walk around town or visit museums or instead take a more elaborate excursion.
The Hilo Hawaii Cruise Terminal is a short 2 1/2 mile drive from downtown Hilo. I made this short Hilo Cruise Port video to give you an idea of what to expect once you dock.
First of all you can see that it is an actual dock and you are not tendered into town on smaller boats like you are in ports like Kona and Lahaina on Maui.

The port didn’t have any shops, restaurants or anything to offer those that would like to just hop off the ship for a couple of hours but you can take a free shuttle to the local Hilo Hatties store and Walmart– But you probably didn’t travel all this way to go to Walmart.

For a lesser priced excursion you could choose a Hilo city tour that includes the impressive Rainbow Waterfall, or you could be a bit more adventurous and travel to the top of Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain in the world. For more on Mauna Kea you might want to check out my video of the Big Island where we almost get snowed in at the top of the mountain and had to cut our excursion short.

  1. thanks for not taking a tour helicopter ride that are plaguing our islands, dirty tourism, self regulated no enforceable regulations, to low to load, at the last community meeting concerning tour helicopter noise many sensible alternatives were suggested, their greed prevents them from taking alternate routs, rather than over residence homes and making live miserable for hundreds island residence Aloha
