Saddle Road
About
After Waimea Town, you’ll embark on your drive across Saddle Road, a main thoroughfare on Big Island that connects Kona in the west with Hilo in the east. This is about a 50 minute drive and we’ll tell you stories the whole way.
There are three optional stops along this road:
1) a rest stop, which we’ll point on the tour;
2) a cinder cone where you can get acclimated to the altitude if you’re embarking on a journey to Mauna Kea; and
3) Mauna Kea, Hawaii’s tallest mountain.
If you’re not planning on visiting any of these places you can just sit back, relax and enjoy the drive.
