But it isn’t THAT far.\u00a0 The beauty of a three day visit is that this middle day can be more relaxed.\u00a0 If you compare the “Hilo in 2 Days” to this “Hilo in 3 Days” I split the 2nd day and expand it.\u00a0 In the “Hilo in 2 Days” visit one goes up highway 11 to Volcano National Park and no farther.\u00a0 Then drives back down and around through Puna.\u00a0 This is difficult to do in one day.\u00a0 In a 3 day visit we leave the Puna leg for day 3 and continue south to South Point.<\/p>\n Day 3:\u00a0 Puna and South Big Island Today we travel back up highway 11, but quickly turn south on Highway 130 to investigate Puna and see the lava flows of the 1980s, 2014 and 2018.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hilo Hawaii Activities in 3 Days To cover Hilo and East Big Island in 3 days requires splitting up East Big Island into 3 geographical areas.
