Hilo: Arrival, information and getting around
Downtown Hilo is compact and very walkable. However, the urban area extends for several miles, and the airport at General Lyman Field (tel 808/935-4782), on the eastern outskirts, is well beyond walking distance. If you're not renting a car at the airport, a taxi into town is your only alternative, costing around $8.The Hawaii Visitors Bureau is at 250 Keawe St (Mon-Fri 8am-noon & 1-4.30pm; tel 808/961-5797). Hilo's HeleOn Bus Company (tel 808/961-8744) operates a small-scale city bus service, plus one service each to Kailua (Mon-Sat) and down to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (Mon-Fri) from the Mooheau Bus Terminal on Kamehameha Avenue.
