About this tour
The Cliffs of Hawai'i Onomea Waterfall Cruise takes passengers along Hilo's coastline on a sightseeing cruise that combines natural scenery with Hawaiian history and storytelling. The boat travels past sea cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and coastal coves, with views of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa visible from the water. A professional captain and crew are on board throughout, and a guide shares narration about ancient Hawaiian villages, cultural landmarks, and the sugar plantation communities that once lined the Hamakua Coast, including the remains of early sugar mills.
Light refreshments and bottled water are included. Dolphins are sometimes spotted along the route.
Before going, bring reef-safe sunscreen in non-spray or tinted form, sunglasses, a hat, and a light jacket or rain gear. A camera is worth packing for the coastal scenery and waterfalls. Hilo Ocean Adventures operates the cruise out of Hilo on the Big Island.
