About the Tour

Glide on a stand‑up paddleboard along the calm Wailoa River—“Loa,” meaning “long water”—drifting under graceful dragon arches and through lush mangrove tunnels in the heart of Hilo.

Pause at the King Kamehameha statue to discover how historic tsunamis shaped this arboretum of globally significant trees, and spot native birds and freshwater fish along the riverbanks.

Disclaimer: River spray and paddle splashes are part of the adventure—you will likely get wet!
