    Transportation

    Hilo is the closest airport and is recommended. Hilo is about a 1 hour drive from the KMC (there is an airport at Kona, but it’s about a 3 hour drive).

    There is a KMC shuttle that leaves Hilo airport at 11:00am, 1:30pm and 3:45pm each day. For returning to the Hilo airport the shuttle leaves the KMC lobby at 8:30am, 12:00pm, and 2:30pm. A one-way ticket on the shuttle costs $10. Guests must call to reserve a seat on the shuttle, at least 48 hours in advance! Call 808-967-8333 to make a shuttle reservation.

    There are rental cars at the Hilo airport for those that prefer to drive. Driving directions are on the KMC website. A taxi (one way) between Hilo and KMC is ~$80-$100.
