100% Recommend
It was exactly as described. I was looking for activities when I noticed the airport transfers. I didn’t even know this was offered. Our flight arrived early so I planned on getting our bags then texting. But, our driver must have monitored our flight because she came walking up to the baggage area with my name on a sign. It couldn’t have been better.

Transportation
Driver was very friendly and informative. Newer clean van. I did the shared ride. Only negative was the price. 9 miles for $58. Comparable in area. Cabs were $40 but unavailable.

What a great experience. We booked our private ride to our condo in Kona. Our driver was there waiting at the airport, loaded our luggage for us and got us safely to the door. Very friendly. I would definitely book with this company again!

Driver was great! Our flight landed early and she was there waiting for us. Very helpful in getting our bags and loading the van and pleasant to ride with.

Great driver for airport shuttle service
Driver arrived just as we were waiting for luggage. She was courteous, safe driver and helpful. Offered to have her office call or text regarding return trip to airport.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Transfer From Kona International Airport to Hotels in Kailua-Kona: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Big Island of Hawaii.
How much does Private Transfer From Kona International Airport to Hotels in Kailua-Kona cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Big Island of Hawaii usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Transfer From Kona International Airport to Hotels in Kailua-Kona take?
+
Plan for about 0.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Big Island of Hawaii is not rushed.
Is Private Transfer From Kona International Airport to Hotels in Kailua-Kona worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Big Island of Hawaii, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Transfer From Kona International Airport to Hotels in Kailua-Kona?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Transfer From Kona International Airport to Hotels in Kailua-Kona suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Transfer From Kona International Airport to Hotels in Kailua-Kona?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Big Island of Hawaii can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Big Island of Hawaii and add a light layer if any part of the 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Transfer From Kona International Airport to Hotels in Kailua-Kona start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Big Island of Hawaii within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Big Island of Hawaii?
+
The Big Island is volcano country: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park tours, Mauna Kea summit stargazing, night manta ray snorkels off Kona, Waipio Valley lookouts and coffee farm visits. Summit tours have real altitude rules, so we weight safety detail. On Outty we rank every Big Island of Hawaii experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include KONA Manta Ray Night Snorkel - FREE re-ride if no Sightings, Big Island in a Day: Volcanoes Waterfalls Sightseeing and History, Big Island: Captain Cook Snorkel On A Power Catamaran With Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Big Island of Hawaii?
+
April to October, though the island runs year round. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Big Island of Hawaii?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
