Hilo Newspaper

The only Hilo Newspaper is Hilo's Hawaii Tribune Herald, but the Kona side has the West Hawaii Today Newspaper. There is also the Hawaii Island Journal Newspaper, published twice a month.

Hilo Tours

Hilo isn't big enough for anyone to need to take an actual tour of it, but a Hilo walking tour is available if you are interested. Several tours of other parts of the island do leave from Hilo, like helicopter tours or small plane tours of the volcano.
