Flight
For a smooth journey, consider flying into Hilo (ITO), which is located on our side of the island. The drive from Hilo airport to our house takes approximately 30-40 minutes. Alternatively, explore flight options to Kailua-Kona (KOA) for potential cost savings and direct flights. Keep in mind, though, that it's a scenic 2-hour drive from Kona to our home, so plan accordingly.
Travel Note
Renting a car is a must, as Uber/Lyft isn't available, and there are no cabs in our area. While there's one bus on the main road, it might not be the most convenient option. Check Turo, or rent a car from the airport.

Travel Note
Volcano is a gem with fantastic Airbnb options and the charming Kilauea Lodge located within the national park. Nestled at 3,740', our rural location on the Mauna means daily rain and a cooler climate—don't forget your hoodies and light jackets!
