Here you will see how each ingredient is picked, each nut carefully selected and each finished product wrapped in the signature BIC packaging. You’ll even get free samples of their shortbreads and the famous Kona coffee, one of the most expensive coffees in the world.

King Kamehameha Statue- Hilo
Historical landmark
1 mi
The King Kamehameha Statue stands proudly near downtown Hilo in the Wailoa River State Park. It is one of four statues of King Kamehameha I. The other three are located in Kohala on the Big Island of Hawaii, in downtown Honolulu on the island of Oahu, and in Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C.
King Kamehameha I, also known as Kamehameha the Great, who was born 1758 or 1737 or 1738 (there is some debate as to the precise year of his birth) and who died in 1819, was one of the most beloved of Hawaii's heroes. Kamehameha I was the one who conquered the Hawaiian Islands, unified them and established the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1810. Even during times of intense Western influence, his government managed to maintain peace and the traditional values. He developed alliances with the major Pacific colonial powers and by doing so preserved Hawaii's independence.

Hilo Tsunami Clock
Historical landmark
Hilo was hit by tsunamis twice in the past century. The first time was on April 1, 1946, when a tsunami that was generated by a large earthquake off of Alaska hit the cities of Hilo and Laupahoehoe, killing 159 people and causing a lot of damage to Hilo’s Bayfront and other east-facing shorelines on the Big Island. On May 23, 1960, another tsunami (this time generated by an earthquake off of Chile), again hit Hilo, this time killing 61 people.
The clock (which stood in the city at that time) was hit by the 1960 tsunami and since then stands with its hands frozen in time – 1:04 a.m. Townspeople refurbished it, but decided against restoring it to working order in honor of those who perished in the tidal waves. The clock is located on Kamehameha Avenue in front of the Grand Naniloa Golf Course.

Naha Stone- Hilo
Historical landmark
2 mi
Located in front of the Hilo Public Library are two stones, one of them larger than the other. This larger one is called the Nana Stone. It is believed that this 7,000 pound rock The Naha Stone is said to hold the power of being able to determine the legitimacy of those who claimed to be of the royal Naha rank. During ancient Hawaiian ceremonies, newborn baby boys were placed on top of the Naha Stone. While Kahuna chanted prayers to Hawaiian Gods attention was focused on the newborn. If it cried as most had, he would live the life of a commoner, the maka’ainana. If the baby remained calm, he was of royal Naha ‘alaea, the royal tribe or clan.
The stone fulfilled another important role in the past. Legend had it that whoever was able to move it would be the first king of all the Hawaiian Islands. At the age of 14, Kamehameha decided to try to move this stone (and risked death if he couldn’t). He tried several times and succeeded in the end. And indeed, he was the Hawaiian king who unified all the islands under his rule.

It was the site of an ancient temple dedicated to healing. Legend tells that anyone who was sick or feeling ill would be healed by swimming around Mokuola three times. In ancient times, Mokuola was a pu'uhonua (place of refuge), where natives or warriors could "redeem" themselves. Many native Hawaiians would also bury their children's piko (umbilical cords) under the flat rocks here, so the rats would not find them (piko are often considered sacred to Hawaiians, as they are the connection to their mothers and to their bloodlines).

The Liliuokalani Park and Gardens is a beautifully landscaped park along the shores of Hilo Bay that is home to the largest authentic ornamental Japanese garden outside of Japan. Located on Banyan Drive, the 24 acre park features Edo—style Japanese gardens, which were established in 1917 and contain the Waiohinu Pond as well as pretty bridges and pagodas, tranquil ponds, statues, torii, and an authentic Japanese teahouse. The park is also home to a small island called Moku Ola (meaning “island of life”), which was once the site of an ancient temple dedicated to healing and now is a perfect spot for picnicking and swimming. Visitors can get to the little island by a footbridge that connects the island to a park and soak up spectacular panoramic views from a stone tower on the east side of the island
