Hire a car in Kona
Kona’s weather, beauty and atmosphere remains as desirable as ever.
Once the best place to live on Hawaii’s Big Island, the west coast town has taken on some of the expected resort style features while also holding on to its go-with-the-flow small town feelings. Although the waves here are sure to get your adrenaline pumping, the city also holds a surprising collection of historic buildings that give it an intriguing character.
As a cruise port and Hawaii’s tourist gateway, Kailua-Kona is the jumping off point to the rest of the island. With four wheels, you can discover the island’s diverse landscapes, from deep green forests and mountains to pristine beaches. Grab your rental and drive to Hawaii’s tallest waterfall or watch as its volcanoes spit lava into the sky.
Sights to see
There is so much to see and do on the Big Island of Hawaii that car hire is a must. Kona provides the perfect base for exploring the Big Island and is not short of its own charms. Be sure to drive out to the Volcano National Park at dusk to see the lava flow against the dark night sky.
