The view in the morning is great! It was worth the drive, but if you are staying, make sure to come and go from Hilo airport. Otherwise, make sure you want to book a night of stay in Kano if that is where you are flying out. we had to make cross island drive after the flight, which took about 2 hours, including trying to find the location at night, which is a bit challenge. But the view is worth it! you can enjoy the far ocean view and close up creek sound. just so be nature inspired, otherwise you would not enjoy as much as we did!
