Keaau, HI

Small town charm and great food without the hustle of many tourists.

Very affordable area, lush tropical forest, close to Hilo,

This is the best way to see the big island. Skip the resorts and helicopter rides, rent a car, and just drive till you see something you want to visit. Plenty of things to see and do to fill a week+. Will be going back; hopefully soon.

It is a rather non descript small town.

Sadly we only spent one night at this location. We would have loved to have stayed more nights to see more of the sites.

Every was unique
