We suggest you arrive the Friday or Saturday a week before the race to adjust to the time difference, acclimatize to the heat and humidity, ride the course in multiple sections, run a few times on the highway and Alii Dr. and do the practice swim race on Sunday morning.

We suggest you stay until at least Monday or Tuesday to go to the awards Sunday night and recover a bit from the race before getting back on the plane.

You should book your ticket into Kona International Airport (KOA).  Our package includes the round-trip airport transfer and you will be met by EST staff at the baggage claim.

We do not offer airfares, but we are happy to connect you with a ticket agent we are working with who have offices in the US and Brazil who can assist you with your flight arrangements in English, Spanish or Portuguese.

We suggest using an Airtag if traveling with your bike, just in case somethign happens. We also suggest having something to distinguish you bike case from others as many athletes always seem to have the same bike case.

All of the major airlines have flight departures from the Kona Airport (KOA) to the mainland well after your check-out time. Please consider this when booking your reservation with us. As us right away to see if a Late Check-Out is available for your condo.  Another option is to book another night at the condo to spend the day in Kona before your late night flight home.
