Visiting the Big Island Volcano Eruption? Here’s the Smartest Way to Do It

The Big Island’s volcano eruption is putting on an incredible show right now — and visitors are flying in to witness it.
But there’s one major issue catching travelers off guard:
Rental cars are extremely expensive, and lines into Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park can stretch up to four hours each way.
That’s nearly an entire day of vacation spent in traffic.
The Smarter Way to Visit

Instead of renting a car for your entire stay, consider staying in walkable Kona locations where you don’t need one at all.
Stay In Town
Properties like:
These locations allow you to:
- Walk to restaurants
- Walk to beaches
- Access shops and activities
- Ride the Kona Trolley
Let a Tour Bus Handle the Volcano
Professional tour companies:
- Coordinate timing
- Reduce risk of being turned away
- Handle parking logistics
- Provide guided insight
- Save you hours of stress
You’ll enjoy the experience instead of worrying about entry gates and traffic delays.
