Creator's Key Takeaways

By doing it this way, you get to see what you want to see and not all the stuff you don't want to see.

and you're doing it for a fraction of the cost of the shore excursion.

We was here before all the tours. So it was very quiet and nice to walk around.

But it is very slippery and wet inside and it is recommended you bring your own torch.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Hire a car from Turo for flexibility and cost savings.
Bring your own torch for exploring lava tubes.

YouTube Video Description

Come along with us while we explore Hilo on the Big Island. We hired a car from Turo and chose to pick it up from the port. We headed to Akaka Falls for our first stop. Second stop was the tropical botanical gardens. Third stop was Kaumana Caves. Fourth stop was the boiling pots. Fifth stop was Pana’ewa Zoo. Last stop was Liliʻuokalani Gardens. #hilo #hawaii #bigisland #shoreexcursion #cruiseexcursion #diy #cruise #cruiseship #cruising #princess #princesscruises #rubyprincess #travel #holiday #vacation #explore #sea #ocean
