Cliff's of Hawai'i Onomea Waterfall Cruise
Overview
Discover old Hawai‘i on a leisurely 2‑hour morning cruise along rugged sea cliffs, secret coves, and tropical waterfalls. This small, intimate tour weaves past the lush Hamkua coastline to Onomea Bay, ancient village sites and the remains of Hilo’s plantation‑era sugar mills.
