The Orchid Tree Bed & Breakfast is located just minutes from
downtown Hilo, on the old scenic route, at Alae Point. We offer a
unique lodging experience as we cater to only one client at a time.
You will enjoy the privacy of a six hundred square foot suite with
private entrance and private access to our large covered lanai,
swimming pool and Jacuzzi.

Walk across the street to Honolii Beach where surfers and swimmers
enjoy the gentle rollers under the watchful eye of a county
lifeguard. Or explore the river, where waterfalls plunge into clear
swimming holes. Maybe you’re feeling lazy...why not just sit on the
lanai with a cup of Kona coffee and watch the whales play in the
blue Pacific. It’s up to you, at the Orchid Tree you are in the
perfect location for a real Hawaiian experience.

After a lovely breakfast of fresh local fruit and pastries, juice
and coffee, you may want to head out for a day of East Hawaiian
adventure. Head north to Waipio Valley (50 minutes) or Akaka Falls
(15 minutes). Turn south and head for Volcanos National Park (45
minutes) or out to Lower Puna and the famous Red Road where the
coast is graced with hot ponds and fields of coral (40 minutes). No
matter which way you turn, getting there is half the fun as you
travel through the breathtaking beauty of east Hawaii. This area is
rich in Hawaiian history and geology. We can show you the way to a
memorable vacation, in an area that most tourists will never see.

Downtown Hilo is a jewel of a town nestled on the shores of Hilo
Bay; a bay that cruise ships from around the world are only just
discovering. Here you will find excellent dining, music, golf and
tennis, water sports, movies and museums, a modern mall as well as
local arts and craft fairs. Hilo can boast of having one of the
great farmers markets (according to Sunset Magazine) and many fine
artisans have relocated to East Hawaii for the creative climate of
this beautiful city. For a great view of Hilo, with Mauna Kea and
Mauna Loa as a backdrop, we suggest renting a kayak and exploring
the bay and local coastline.

Early risers can visit the fish auction with all the excitement of
the fresh catch...truly a local experience! For the true
adventurer...Molten Lava flowing into the sea! Yes, we can show you
the way. With thirty years experience in East Hawaii we know what’s
hot.

Whether you are hiking through lush botanical gardens or swimming
through ethereal coral gardens, whether you choose bird watching in
a tropical rain forest or monkey watching at Panaewa Rainforest Zoo,
we are sure you will never have a dull moment on your visit to the
windward side of the Big Island.
