Prior to arrival to the Big Island, preferably several days prior, please call or Email us with your estimated time of arrival at the "Aloha Guest House Bed and Breakfast", given an approximately one hour drive from the airport.

Directions from Kona International Airport:

TURN RIGHT (south) onto Hwy 19 following the signs to Kailua-Kona and Volcano. In Kailua, Hwy 19 becomes Hwy 11. Continue on Hwy 11. Notice that the right mile marker numbers on the left side of the road are descending. 

As you approach the 104 mile marker, you pass a "Reduce Speed 35 MPH" sign. The road curves to the left and you will see an "Elevation 1000ft / 305m" sign to your right. SLOW DOWN!

( * ) Notice the "Aloha Guest House " sign to your right on the tree. TURN LEFT ONTO THE "OLD TOBACCO ROAD" just a few feet BEFORE the 104 mile marker. The "Aloha Guest House" is EXACTLY ONE MILE up from the highway. Ignore the sign limiting access to authorized persons.
                          
The general rule is: turn or veer RIGHT wherever you have the option. About a 1/3 way up you will come to an old coffee mill with a DANGER NO TRESPASSING sign. Here the road turns sharply left with a small paved section. You then turn right and go along a relatively flat section, (You should see "Jack's Way" sign on your left, continue ahead).  The road dips down and then turns up to the left again on double asphalt tracks. When you get to a " T " junction, continue RIGHT onto the concrete drive and follow it past the "Rowe Coffee Farm" driveway, turn left at the "Hale Aloha" sign and proceed straight up the hill. At the Y, turn  left into our parking area.

Directions from Volcano/Hilo:

Follow Hwy 11. Once you pass the turn to Pu`uhonua O Honaunau (Hwy 160), slow down. The highway turns sharply left than right. At the right turn is the 104 mile marker on the right side of the highway. The entrance into the farm road is just a few feet past the mile marker 104. Follow the above directions (*) to the "Aloha Guest House".

The "Old Tobacco Road" is an old farm road and rough in places.  We highly recommend renting a four wheel drive vehicle if you are in doubt about the road conditions and/or your driving abilities concerning  rough and occasionally paved surfaces.  Although many of our guests have used a regular 2WD vehicle when staying with us, a 4WD vehicle will also allow you to explore many of the beautiful and somewhat secluded parts of the Big Island in comfort and safety.
