Introduction to Hilo Town
Big Island, Hawaii

Hilo is located on the east coast of the Big Island of Hawaii where the Wailuku and Wailoa Rivers empty into Hilo Bay. With a population of about 41,000 people, it is the second largest city in Hawaii, but it still retains the feel of a small town and old Hawaii.
