What is the best way to reach Kona?

By plane is the main form of transportation between the islands, utilizing Hawaiian Airlines. There currently are no inter-island ferries connecting to Kona from the other main islands.  Depending on your flight, enjoy views of Mauna Loa, the main volcanic mountain on the island, or Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, as you arrive at the Big Island. 1.
