Travel
We will be spending the week along the Kohala coast between the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and the Waikoloa Resort area. Below are some recommendations on which airport to fly into, places to stay nearby, and transportation on island once you arrive.
A note about COVID and Hawaii’s Safe Travel Program when traveling from the mainland. Travelers entering the state who have been fully vaccinated may bypass the 5-day quarantine period without a pre-travel test. Visitors are required to have a booster shot in order to be considered “fully vaccinated”.
The vaccination record document must be uploaded to Safe Travels and printed out prior to departure and the traveler must have a hard copy in hand when arriving in Hawaii. The State of Hawaii will also accept vaccine records that are digitally validated by Digital Health Pass Partners. Travelers who use one of the State’s partners to link their digitally validated vaccine records with Safe Travels may enjoy expedited processing at the airport.

Rental Car
Rent a Car from the Airport
There are limited taxi services and ride share providers. If you are planning to explore the island, we recommend renting a car directly from the airport. Alternatively, if you plan to spend most of your time at the resort, you may be able to get away with coordinating rides with other people visiting for our wedding week or sharing a rental car with them. Let us know and we can put you in touch.
