Honomu

Honomu combines the legacy of a former sugar-plantation settlement with the humid greenery of Hawaiʻi Island’s Hāmākua Coast, a contrast shaped by its position between the Pacific Ocean and the slopes of Mauna Kea. This small community lies north of Hilo on the island’s rainier windward side, where steep stream-cut gulches meet a shoreline of dark volcanic rock. Nearby ʻAkaka Falls State Park protects a tropical ravine crossed by the Kolekole Stream; ʻAkaka Falls drops 442 feet into the gorge. Honomu’s compact main street still recalls the era when sugar plantations structured daily life along this coast.
