Overview
Explore Hawaiʻi Island from just two hotel bases. Spend three nights in Kona for beaches, coffee country and the sunny west coast, then cross the scenic Hāmākua coast for three nights in Hilo. From Hilo, make a flexible day trip to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and return to the same hotel that evening. On Day 7, drive back to Kona International Airport for departure. The rental car and hotels are selected separately from live inventory; activities and flights are optional. Check current National Park Service alerts and allow ample time for the airport return drive.
