5/5 - Excellent

Pahoa is not a touristy town. It's full of wonderful locals and great restaurants. Highly recommend Kaleo's for some meals and the Island Market for groceries. Pahoa has nice little spots to fish, watch the surf, and a small black sand beach.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Loved the locals, vibe and laidback nature on the east side of the island (Pahoa and Hilo) versus the touristy, crowded side of Kona. Make sure to drive and see the lava destruction icutting off Route 137. Hawaii Volcano State Park is a must see!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

It is a unique area for shopping. The dining we had was delicious and the price was reasonable.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Pahoa is a very small town not equipped to cater to tourists. The natural beauty of the area is lovely, and the lava zones are amazing to see. We had the best meal of our trip at Kaleo's.

5/5 - Excellent

Pahoa is a great small town - excellent vegan gellato, phenomenal thai food, great mexican, and overall great walking environment.
