Pa’auilo was the location of the original Hāmākua Sugar company.  Even though much of the area is still in agriculture. Tourism, as in most of the Hawaiian Towns, thrive. The laid-back nature of the area and the people of Pa’auilo make this small community a great get away!

Pa’auilo hosts several botanical gardens and Zipline adventures. You can spend days and days strolling through some of these gardens and parks, seeing some of the most amazing plant life!

Pa’auilo is near the bayfront, known as the Piopio. Prior to colonial times, this bayfront was used by King Kamehameha as a gathering point for warriors and their canoes and under his command, this bay was a major part of the King’s strategic effort to bring together with force, the islands of Hawaii.

The Hawaiian Vanilla Company is a great place to visit and learn how they make vanilla. You will be relaxingly entertained with the shopping throughout the small town for local wares!
