 | Hilo Flights and Airline Tips | 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
Traveling to Hawaii isn't hard at all but you will need cash to get here. I've met people who saved up for a very long time (years) just to come here for a few days. Paradise is quite expensive I'm affraid but if you budget right, you can swing some deals to get here. My suggestion is (especially if you're from Las Vegas) to check with local travel agencies on the West Coast or in Japan (if you're from there). You may very well find that travel here is much easier money wise than if you were to book it on your own. Many agencies offer package deals including car and hotel at affordable prices.
A word to the wise however, as with many car rental agencies, there are clauses in the contract. Please take the rental insurance as many specialty vehicles (Convertables, SUVs, Off Roaders) are not covered by your own in the event you crash.
For the US mainland travelers... Hawaii is not a foreign country (yeah I know, people come here thinking that!!). You will need your drivers liscense or else you're stuck walking around in town. In Hilo, everything you need for shopping, food, leisure, is located a few miles south of the airport. Theme: Airplane

 Flight to Hilo by kyoub
After picking up our luggage at baggage claim we had to make our way to the other end of the airport. There we checked in at the inter island airport for our flight to the Big Island.
We flew on Hawaiian Airlines, it was about a 30 minute flight. Leave a Comment

If you plan to stay awhile, get a local address and checkbook. These enable you to get Kama'aina rates on inter-island flights, and other activities and lodging as well. You can save 50% over normal tourist rates. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 Aloha Airlines - 737 by Blatherwick
Hilo is a smaller sized town without public transportation. Most visitors chose to take a cab downtown and cover the bayfront and surrounding area on foot or they rent a car. Many local touring companies and taxi services will be happy to provide guided tours of Hilo and the surrounding areas. Car rental services are available at the Hilo International Airport.

 Jeep by kyoub
We leased a car and had to take a jeep instead. They called it an upgrade but at the price of gas on the islands, we didn't really think it was an improvement.
All rental offices are located outside the terminal. Leave a Comment

A car or motorbike would be best, as in all the Hawaiian Islands. I was with a Tour Bus, and it was great, but I didn't get to see all that I would have liked to see. I really did enjoy this tour, it was very informative, and our driver, Alan, was a lot fun ;-)
He even stopped for a second or two, if I wanted to get a picture of something ;-) Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

You must fly if you are coming from anywhere off the island.
Rental car is the best way to get around, or bicycle. There is the Hele-On Bus but I believe the schedule is limited. You can get from Hilo to other areas by bus - the station is on the ocean side of the main street downtown. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home
