Search Kailua-Kona Flights

For your next getaway, you’re thinking big: Hawaii’s “Big Island”, to be exact. Kona, on the west coast, is more than massive surf breaks and endless beaches. Catch big fish on deep-sea excursions and explore big palaces thanks to King Kamehameha. Pick up the latest copy of the Hawaiian Dictionary and a few good “Jawaiian” albums (that’s Hawaiian reggae) and study up during one of Wotif’s Kona flights. You’ll be on holiday before you can say “Aloha”!

Getting Around Kona

Flights to Kona will typically route you through Honolulu and then on to Kona International Airport (KOA). At just 13km from the centre of Kailua-Kona, it’s an easy cab or shuttle ride, but in breezy Hawaii, booking one of Wotif’s car hire deals is the best way to go with the flow.

When You Land…

If you’re arriving in the morning and need a little pick-me-up, pay a visit to one of the nearby coffee plantations for a tour—and plenty of samples. If you’d rather wake up with a little adrenaline, there’s plenty of action here too, from helicopter tours to ocean rafting. In the evening, check into your Kona accommodation and get “lei-d” at the luau, or head to the waterfront near Oneo Bay for dinner with a view.

Live Like a Local

This is the easiest part when you’re visiting Hawaii—the locals pretty much live like they’re on holiday! Hook up with a beach yoga class, lunch on lau lau (pork wrapped in taro leaf), then join in a drum-circle-and-campfire party on the beach. Looking to hang 10? You won’t have to carry a board far with holiday packages to Kona near the best surf spot, Holualoa Bay.

The only thing that’s not bigger on the “Big Island”? Your travel costs! Wotif has awesome cheap flights to Kona, so you can save your cash for surf wax and sunscreen. Mahalo!
