Tropicbird, Volcano, Waterfalls
Agreed that Tropicbird is a great rental choice. I took the 172 up with Trek and we flew counterclockwise round the island. Captain Cook point, the volcano (missed the erruption by a week!). over Hilo, along the NE shores with 1000ft waterfalsl straight into the ocean, then back up over the saddle and down into Kona. Amazing approach from the north over the water.

First comment.
This airport is bigger than Hilo Airport, serving as the main international gateway to the Big Island.

Amazing Approach
Saw whales breaching during my descent into Kona! The ocean was sparkling and it was a clear day!

Looks like the inside of a BBQ!
The approach into this airport is amazing with blackened earth surrounding pristine tarmac. It was quite the shock to see this place in the middle of paradise. The airport itself is made up of a series of interconnected huts. Half the time you are outdoors even on the airside.
