Transportation in Hilo
Information about transportation in the town of Hilo on
the east coast of the Big Island of Hawaii.
How to Get to Hilo
You can fly directly into Hilo International
Airport or you can drive one of two routes
from the Airport on the west side of the island
near the coastal resort town of Kailua-Kona.
NORTHERN ROUTE: This route is about 100 miles
and it passes through the cowboy country town
of Waimea on highways 190 and 19. SOUTHERN ROUTE:
This route is about 125miles and it passes by
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on highway 11.
Traffic can cause slow going on either of these
roads so you should allow 3 or 4 hours to travel
between Hilo and Kailua-Kona on either road.
Transportation Within Hilo
You will probably want to rent a car when
you are visiting Hilo and the Big Island.
There is usually plenty of parking in
downtown Hilo except perhaps at busy meal
times.
Hilo International Airport
Until 1989 this airport was known
as General Lyman Field. It is located about
two miles east of Hilo.
