About This Access Site
The Wailoa boat ramp provides easy access to the Pacific Ocean in Hilo, Hawaii. This public access site features a concrete boat ramp, making it suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats.
The ramp is located along the Wailoa River, which flows into Hilo Bay and the open ocean. Paddlers and boaters can explore the scenic coastline and nearby Lili'uokalani Gardens from this launch point. However, users should be aware of the open ocean conditions and plan accordingly, as the Pacific surf can be strong in this area.
Facilities at the Wailoa access site include parking and an informational kiosk with cultural displays at the adjacent Wailoa Center. Fishing is permitted, but restrictions may apply. Hours and fees are not listed, so paddlers and boaters should check for any posted signage or contact local authorities for the most up-to-date information before visiting.
