The Hilton Waikoloa Village does not provide a shuttle service to or from the airport. It is recommended that you order an airport transfer prior to your arrival in Hawaii. While Lyft and Uber do operate on the islands, their service may be delayed. WAO has partnered with Viator to provide a discounted transfer service option from Kona International Airport (KOA) to Waikoloa Beach hotels (and back).
The anticipated fee will cost $55 per person (shared) or $375+ per person (private). If you book two or more products on Viator, you will receive a 5% discount (i.e. from airport and return to airport).
Call +1 702-648-5873 or visit Viator.com to reserve your airport transfer. Visit our Hotel and Travel page for more details.
Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
