RV rental Kailua-Kona, HI: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Obviously, you’ll probably spend a considerable amount of time at the beach during your Kailua-Kona RV rental vacation. Your first stop should be Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park just north of town. The park provides easy access to the beach and the chance to observe sea turtles in their natural habitat. The park’s visitors center also has lots of interesting information about the history of the beach and how the Polynesian people made a living there. Animal lovers will want to check out the Kanaloa Octopus Farm. It’s a chance to swim and interact with these intelligent animals and understand their unique role in the ocean. If swimming with the octopi is a little bit too much, visit the Ocean Rider Seahorse Farm, which is near the airport and allows for a fascinating hands-on experience with the magnificent little creatures. If you’re a hiker, climbing the Mauna Kea volcano should definitely be part of your itinerary when you rent an RV in Kailua-Kona. The six-mile-long trail climbs 4,600 feet to the summit – a rather difficult feat that necessitates being in at least moderately good physical condition. At the mountain’s summit are the Mauna Kea Observatories, one of the world’s premier astronomy centers. While the main telescopes are not open to the public, there are telescopes available for use near the trailhead after the sun has gone down. You can also branch out a bit with the Kailua-Kona RV rental and take the two-hour drive to the eastern side of the island near Pāhoa, home to the active volcano known as Kilauea. From here you can also venture out to see the dark shores of Kehena Black Sand Beach.
