Hilo Beach Holiday

There's nothing like a Hilo holiday to put a spring in your step. The soothing sound of rolling waves and the smell of salty sea air are sure to refresh your mind and body.

If you're going to stay for a bit, consider booking one of our Hilo holiday packages. Not only will you be able to save money, you'll also have other amazing beaches around you to explore, like Onekahakaha Beach Park and Keaukaha Beach Park. Now that's a win-win!

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Hilo holiday package cost?
Handcraft your Hilo holiday package from as low as AU$1,681. Choose from any combination of flights, hotels and rental cars to create the getaway you’ve long been dreaming about. Remember to add on one or two experiences!
How do I get a cheap travel package to Hilo?
Just think of all the wonderful things you could do in Hilo with a wad of extra cash in your pocket. Watch your savings stack up when you bundle your airfare and hotel bookings into a Hilo holiday package. You have plenty of choice when you book your trip with Expedia too. In fact, you can choose from over 550 air carriers and 1 000 000 hotel options worldwide. Whether you’re taking a holiday with the whole family or flying solo, organising a trip to Hilo is better with a package.
What are the top hotels in Hilo?
If you’re thinking of staying in the Keaukaha neighbourhood, some quality options are Castle Hilo Hawaiian Hotel and Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton. Wainaku is also a popular Hilo area. We recommend SCP Hilo Hotel or Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel if you prefer this part of town.
How far in advance should I book my Hilo holiday?
It’s difficult to pick the perfect time for airfares, but we generally suggest the earlier, the better. Many international journeys on Expedia become available to compare up to a year in advance. If you’re booking last minute, don’t fret. Budget prices occasionally appear just weeks before departure dates.
What does an Expedia Hilo travel package include?
Flights, hotels and a reliable car for your road trip adventures. Simply mix and match your preferred bundle and get access to incredible deals. Once you’ve made your booking, add on some tours and experiences and watch your savings stack up. When it comes to crafting your Hilo escape, you’re in control!
What should I know before booking a Hilo travel package?
A package can be easier on the wallet than individually booking everything you need for your getaway. For example, bundle your hotels, flights and rental cars and save a packet. Whatever your holiday plans, you’ll find a package to suit your budget.
Can I choose my airline with a Hilo Expedia holiday package?
Yes — that’s the beauty of an Expedia package. You get to decide. We have access to more than 550 partner airlines globally, so you have lots of choice when putting together your Hilo adventure.
If I'm not able to travel, can I cancel my Hilo holiday package?
You can. We get that life doesn’t always go to plan, so we’re happy to help if you need to make changes to your Hilo holiday package. It may be possible to amend or cancel your itinerary at no cost if you’ve booked within 24 hours. Your airline, hotel or car rental company may impose a fee if you booked more than 24 hours ago. Head to our Customer Service Portal for further information. Also, be sure to check your itinerary for the finer details on change fees.
