Sea breeze, Hilo Bay views, and 3–5 pm specials. Slide into Happy Hour at Ka Lihikai this Monday for island sips, tasty bites, and easy-going Hilo vibes.

Feel that Hilo breeze calling?

Big Island scene

Trade winds on your cheeks. The sparkle of Hilo Bay just past the palms. That first clink of ice that says, pau hana already.

Happy Hour at Ka Lihikai is the kind of easy afternoon that resets your whole week. It’s mellow, it’s makai, and the view does half the relaxing for you.

What to expect from 3–5 pm

Picture a sunlit lounge tucked inside the Double Tree Grand Naniloa Hotel, steps from the water. You settle into a bay-facing seat, and the room hums with soft conversation and the low roll of the surf.

Cold island cocktails meet fresh, shareable pupus. Think bright citrus, local flavors, and that just-right salt kiss from the ocean air. Keiki can nibble on snacks while the grownups savor a slow hour or two.
