snorkeling is a must. And you can pretty much do it everywhere and anywhere you want. My wife and I just brought our own masks to the beaches we visited. That is really all you need and you will be amazed at what you will see. Hilo is fun and the farmers market is great. There is a place I beleive called Dolly's that we got a HUGE puffer fish light for only $75.

There is a beach in Hilo where the rain water meets the sea water. You can go hang out with the sea turtles there. They will come right up to you. It's pretty cool. It will be helpful to have your friend show you the cool stuff to do. We had friends there and I wish we had more time around Hilo. WE had been there before but it didn't seem like there was much to it, but if you have a local pointing out places to you, you will find lots of cool stuff!

Enjoy your adventure!
