A shared van from Monterrico from Antigua should cost around 10 USD that drops you off on Calle Principale or at your hotel if you have one. The chicken bus runs from Antigua and Guatemala City for less but leave at odd hours. There is one bus running to Antigua that passes thru Hawaii around 2pm every day give or take a few min. If you are not into the chicken bus head to language institute on Calle Principale and there is an operator there that runs shared vans to Antigua that take about 2-2.5 hours and cost $10 USD. If you want to go to Hawaii Park from Antigua/Guatemala City - contact Colum at ARCAS and he can arrange a ride thru one of their vendors or you can find the phone # on the ARCAS website..they will take you directly to the entrance of the park rather than having to sit in the back of a pick up for the 8 k ride from Monterrico for about the same price.
There is a grass strip (airfield) in Monterrico but it is served by charter airlines and is best arranged from Guatemala City or Antigua....it is a short ride for the most part so unless you like riding in small planes and have the cash to do so it is best to go by road.
You can walk to Hawaii Park from Monterrico but due to the black sand beaches and the fact that they absord heat I would stick to the road and bring plenty of water...a local will probably offer you a free ride along the way or you may have to pay 5-7Q for the taxi(back of a pick up)

Ok, Did not spend more than 5 hours here and after spending time in Hawaii Park I can't say that I would spend more time here. On the other hand Guatemala is a bit lacking in coastal resort towns on...
