You’ll never run out of things to do in Kona and on the Big Island. We’ve put together a map of the wedding weekend events (details here) along with some other fun activity options.
Accommodation
We have secured special rates for accommodation at our ceremony and reception venue, the Royal Kona Resort (special code 1105CK) near downtown Kona. Our house is about a five minute drive southeast of the resort.
The start and finish area of the triathlon is located in a beautiful area of the Big Island, Hapuna Beach State Park, about a 45 minute drive north of the Royal Kona. Check out the area and some hotel options here if you’re interested in staying nearby.
Short-term vacation rentals tend to offer high value and more space than hotel accommodations. airbnb and Vacation Rentals By Owner are the two leading providers of this option.
Rental Cars
The Kona International Airport has a number of rental car options. Beware of reviews!
If you’re a Costco member, you might be able to find a great deal on their travel website.
