Pacific Tsunami Museum
About
Found on Hawaii (Big Island), Pacific Tsunami Museum occupies 130 Kamehameha Ave, Hilo, HI 96720, United States, in the town of Hilo on the island's eastern windward shore. The museum's position in Hilo makes it straightforward to reach from the main towns and resorts around the island, with Kailua-Kona, Volcano, Waimea and the Kohala Coast all within the orbit of a day's travelling. Hilo itself sits on the wetter side of the island, where rain feeds the surrounding rainforest.
As a museum, the venue draws visitors interested in the story of the Pacific's most destructive waves, and its 4.4 out of 5 average across 452 reviews reflects a steady stream of them. That review total places it among the more widely reviewed museums on the island, and the score suggests a collection that holds attention. Hilo, the island's main eastern town, provides the setting, while Kailua-Kona, Volcano, Waimea, the Kohala Coast, Puna, Captain Cook and Kona are among the nearby places that frame a visit to this side of Hawaii.
The museum opens daily from 10:00 to 16:00, with a 09:00 start on the second day of the week, so mornings are the most flexible time to arrive. Its website, http://www.tsunami.org/, carries the museum's identity and services.
Hawaii's drier season runs from April to October, which suits outdoor plans around a museum visit, while the wetter months from November to March bring more rain to Hilo's windward coast. Hawaiian Creole English, known locally as Pidgin, is spoken widely across the islands, and hearing it in everyday exchanges is part of travelling here. The island's waters are home to the Hawaiian monk seal and green sea turtle, which haul out on its beaches.
