Visiting the Big Island on your next trip to Hawai'i? Kona is a stunning but more rustic than other islands and is beautiful island. Flights between islands are super cheap which makes it easy to island hop which we TOTALLY advise.
This board includes how to find the best places to stay, how to plan your trip flow, along with STAY, EAT and EXPLORE recommendations.

How to Best Use This Guide:
Kona is a small island meaning you can cover A LOT of ground in a short time. From the four corners of the island you can travel from one to another in about an hour.
We recommend booking your accommodation and choosing the order of your stops from there.
There are not many hotel options, but most are available in the main town of Kona which is on the West side of the island (where most eatz and sweetz are).
Explore points are mostly on the Northern and Southern parts of the island.
You can find airbnbs more all over, just make sure to book early.
Once you know your starting point, rent a car (read the find print!) and check out the map attached to this guide.
