Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from RAR to KOA last minute?
Booking your journey from Rarotonga Airport to Ellison Onizuka Kona Intl. Airport at Keāhole at the last minute could save you a nice sum if you hit the jackpot and find a terrific deal. However, airfares generally don't get cheaper as the date of departure nears. If you wait around, flights could also be booked solid or the best seats taken (we hope you like the middle seat!). If you want to be on the safe side, book well in advance of the date you want to leave. Don't forget that some of the biggest bargains can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your preferred airline hasn't released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are constantly updated on Expedia.

From Rarotonga, you can travel to Kailua-Kona via Kona Intl. Airport (KOA), Waimea-Kohala Airport (MUE) and Upolu Point, HI (UPP-Upolu). It's a good idea to check which airport is more convenient for you before making your decision. If you go with Kona Intl. Airport (KOA), it's roughly 11 kilometers northwest of the downtown area.
