OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
To
experience a whiz through several
breathtaking vistas, visitors in the town
can have a 4-mile scenic drive off the main
highway. The famous scenic drive from nearby
town, Papaikou, to Pepeekeo takes the Onomea
scenic route. The Pepeekeo scenic drive is
perfect for cruising couples in their
top-down cars who like to enjoy the light
breeze and soak in the splendid Hawaiian
sun. Passing through the 4-mile route is
truly an exceptional experience for nature
lovers. |

The
well-marked
Pepeekeo
Scenic Drive (also known as
Papaiko
Road ) starts about 5 mi. north of
Hilo. Watch for the blue scenic route sign
leading right off Rte. 19. Before connecting
up again with Rte. 19, the 4 mi. winding
road stretches across one-lane bridges,
curls through lush rainforest, and
negotiates twists over the crashing surf
below. |
