Travel Time Frame and Additional Info

Aloha..
We have had several inquirers on what dates to book for traveling. We will be having pre-wedding events before the wedding. The first events will most likely be happening Tuesday, May 4th. We have spoken to guests who are planning on coming to the Big Island for a week and have booked from Sunday May 2nd to Sunday May 9th or Tuesday May 4th to Tuesday May 11th...for example. It also might be less expensive to travel during week days too. You may stay for less time or more time if you'd like! We hope you will make this a fun vacation for you and your family.

Flights:
Airlines that fly to Kona:

United Airlines - best from SLO
Delta
Hawaiian - layover in Honolulu
Alaska
American

There might be a few others... Hawaiian is usually the best deal if you are driving to LAX or the bay area and flying from there... They do have a layover in Honolulu though.

Additional info:

There is a Costco, Walmart and Target in Kona. There is even a Home Depot if you need to work on something special..ha!
If you are staying in a condo or home, Costco is a great place to buy food and beverages for the week. Costco also sells body boards, snorkel equipment, beach towels, macadamia nuts, beer and rum..the necessities over here on the Big Island. There are grocery stores on the Kohala Coast near resorts too as well as a fresh fruit stand. Additional information will be provided to you on store locations before the big event.
