Hilo Magazine - Place of Interest, Hilo, Big Island, Hawaii
Hilo, Hawaii   Boiling Pots
   
This is a particularly rough area of the river. Water falls over Peʻepeʻe Falls and then enters an area of rapids known as Boiling Pots where the water rushes through old lava rocks and lava tubes and appears to bubble up or boil as it makes it way downstream. There is a trail that takes you close to the river, but it is dangerously close to the lava tubes and numerous drownings have occurred in this area.
       
Hilo, Hawaii   Naula Sea Arch
 
Located near the Volcano National Park that meets the ocean. The beautiful arch can be view from the coast or from a tour boat. These arches will fall into the ocean over time from the pounding surf, rain and wind. Enjoy them while you can.
Hilo, Hawaii   Kumukahi Lighthouse
   
Travel the dirt road portion of Highway 132 in Puna for approximately two miles. Built in 1934 this is not a picturesque lighthouse. The 125-foot steal beacon is a reminder of the fickle nature of Pele and her lava flows. One night in 1960 the town of Kapoho was completely smothered in a lava flow. As if by design, the flow split and encircled the beacon, sparing it from destruction. The air at this point is considered to be the purest anywhere and scientists often sample it. Please do not climb the fence to reach the light tower.
Hilo, Hawaii   Hilo Clock
 
The clock is located on Kamehameha Avenue in front of the Naniloa Golf Course. Hilo was hit by tsunamis twice in the past century. The first time was on April 1, 1946. On May 23, 1960, another tsunami (this time generated by an earthquake off of Chile), again hit Hilo. The clock (which stood in the city at that time) was hit by the 1960 tsunami and since then stands with its hands frozen in time – 1:04 a.m. Townspeople refurbished it, but decided against restoring it to working order in honor of those who perished in the tidal waves.
