  DIRECTIONS  
     
 

FROM THE AIRPORT: From the terminal building at Hilo airport, drive approximately 1 mile to the traffic light at Hwy. 11. Turn left onto Hwy. 11.

FROM HILO: Take Hwy. 11 south through town and follow the signs to Kea‘au and Pahoa.

Drive approximately 6 miles to the traffic light at the intersection of Route 130 (Kea‘au-Pahoa Road). The signs will direct you to Pahoa and Kalapana. Turn left onto Route 130 and drive another 6 miles to Paradise Drive. Turn left onto Paradise and continue down the hill almost 4 miles until you get to 2nd Street. The streets also have names: 2nd St. is also called “Aloe” on the street sign. Turn left on 2/Aloe and proceed 4/10 of a mile. The Garden is on your right: if you notice the telephone poles, they are numbered: Hi‘iaka’s Garden is between poles 8 and 9. There are 2 Norfolk Pine trees at the top of the driveway and a sign nailed to one of them with the street address on it, which is 15-1667. You’ll also see our sign on the tree: it reads “Healing Herbs.”

Come down the driveway and park in front of the larger house.
