Arnott's boasts the best valued tours on the island and a prime location that's walking distance from the beach. The two most popular tours are Mauna Kea and the Volcano. Both are excellent and highly recommended. Fun, professional guides drive new vans and offer insights to the local culture, as well as flora and fauna, while entertaining guests throughout the trip. Tours are also a great way to meet fellow travelers and discounts are available when you book an overnight stay. There are several beach parks near by where you can watch for giant turtles in the turquoise waters.
Like most hostels, though, Arnott's has its share of imperfections. A front and back entrance to male and female dorms makes you want to hide your stuff. And the hostel can be noisy. The distance from town and lack of public transportation close by means you'll have to plan your day around the shuttle or take a cab.
Arnott's will pick you up at the bus terminal at Mooheau for free, just call upon arrival. On rainy days, a big screen TV and movies provide free entertainment. High speed internet is also available at a reasonable fee.
