Pahoa Vacation Rentals

Our Pahoa vacation rentals offer the ideal setting to take in the Big Island's beauty and adventure. Originally a lumber and sugar plantation town, Pahoa still retains much of its historic character providing everything you need for a relaxing and luxurious Hawaii vacation.

Things To Do

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is a one-hour drive from Pahoa and takes you into an otherworldly environment of massive summit craters, steam vents and lava tubes. Enjoy spectacular views from the summit of Kilauea Volcano, hike through the Thurston Lava Tube and view ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs carved into rocks. Stop in a the Kilauea Visitor Center and Jaggar Museum to learn more about volcanoes and this diverse Big Island region. The Lava Tree State Monument just south of Pahoa provides a fascinating look at areas where native trees were encased in in lava by volcanic eruptions in 1790 and now remain as standing lava tubes. Kalapana at the end of the road provides views of the area where lava often flows into the sea sending up clouds of steam. Visit Hilo to explore the town and see Rainbow Falls, and follow the Hamakua Coast to Akaka Falls and the Waipio Valley Lookout.

Beaches

It's just a short drive from Pahoa to Kalapana where you may see lava flows pouring into the ocean. Also close to Pahoa are the turquoise waters of Kehena Beach where dolphins and sea turtles are frequently seen, as well as humpback whales passing by offshore during the winter months. Visit Hilo town for fun family beaches that are popular for water activities like snorkeling and bodyboarding.

Restaurants

Pahoa offers numerous dining choices from pizza to Thai food, Filipino and Italian. Check out Clemente's Italian Cuisine, Black Rock Cafe, and the Pahoa Chop Suey House. There is also a fish market and grocery stores to stock up on supplies. For fresh fruits and vegetables in Pahoa check out the Farmer's Market on Sunday mornings in the parking lot of Pahoa's Akebono Theater, Hawaii's oldest theater, where you enjoy some fresh-roasted Big Island coffee often to the accompaniment of live music. Drive up to Hilo town for a diverse array of dining choices near Hilo Bay.

Shopping

Pahoa town is reminiscent of an Old West cowboy town and today you can browse along the raised wooden sidewalks and Victorian-style storefronts in restored buildings that are home to interesting shops and art galleries. Surf shops, clothing stores, a pharmacy and boutique gift shops featuring the crafts of local artisans can all be found in historic Pahoa town. For more shopping explore downtown Hilo where you will find a wide variety of shops from boutique stores to art galleries.

Getting Around

A rental car is recommended when staying in Pahoa vacation rentals so you can explore the region's many interesting attractions and beaches as well as day trips to Hilo town, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the Kona Coast. The island's bus service, called Hele On Bus, is free and stops at various points around the island including transportation between Kona and Hilo every day except Sunday.
