This is one that I don't believe I've stopped at, but if you're having a casual drive around to Hilo, it may be a nice stop. It's just outside of Hilo.
I recommend we hit up the Diamond Head Lookout. There's a hike, but I think there's also just a general lookout trail that leads to the top of the crater and a lookout peak that has amazing views. I don't know which option we want to pick, but we should at least check this place out. :) (more here: I recommend we hit up the Diamond Head Lookout.

You used to be able to do some mild diving here as well at the falls, but I don't know if that is still available to the public. If it is, it is definitely worth the trip.
This is a hike on the coast of Kauai. Starts on the north side of the island ad It is absolutely beautiful! It's about 11 miles and ends at a private beach. I highly suggest this!
