Rainbow Falls State Park


Located just outside downtown Hilo, this is your second stop on the Volcano Orchid Tour. Rainbow Falls is one of the easiest waterfalls to go to in Hawaii. During the morning you may be rewarded with a beautiful rainbow - the morning sun glistening through the mist from the falls.

Banyan Tree Drive


What do Film maker Cecil B. DeMille, Baseball player Herman "Babe" Ruth, Presidents Richard Nixon and Franklin D. Roosevelt,  along with Famous Pilot Amelia Earhart have in common?   They all planted banyan trees on Hilo's famous Banyan Tree Drive.  This is the first stop once you arrive in Hilo Hawaii.  Banyan Tree Drive comes with an interesting story but will save that for your tour.

The photo above was taken today by our Tour Guide and shows the magnificent banyan tree.
