I will be staying with many family members, in Kona next March for my wedding. This will be my 3rd time to the BI, and I have narrowed down my schedule for Kona/Kohala Coast, for the first week. I have been to the Black Sand Beach, South Point, Volcano, Waimea, Kona and Kohala previously.

I was kicking around the idea of staying 3 additional nights to explore the Hilo area for a mini honeymoon. ;) I would rent a Jeep and a low budget place to sleep. What do previous Hilo goers think? Worth seeing? Any must see's?
Any ideas for a studio or place to stay. Kinda non-social so B&B is not desired.
Thanks for any ideas,
Marie

For lots of info. in the old posts, use the "Search this Forum" button and search for "Big Island."

If you have a military connection, consider reserving a cottage at the Military R&R camp right in the Volcano Park - Kilauea Military Camp. It won't break the bank and it's fun to stay in the park. There is a restaurant, buffet, store, bar, and other activities right there and it's right across the road from the crater and maybe a mile from the hotel.

BTW - you don't need a jeep and it can easily cost you twice as much as a standard car.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.
