Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Rarotonga Intl. Airport (RAR) to ITO last minute?
Being a spontaneous soul is a great way to travel, but it's not necessarily the wisest method to land a cheap airfare. Think about booking your RAR to ITO trip well in advance instead of leaving it until the last minute. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. We recommend saving that spontaneity for when you arrive in ITO!
What airports do you fly into for Hilo from Rarotonga?
You can zip from Rarotonga to Hilo through both Hilo Intl. Airport (ITO) and Waimea-Kohala Airport (MUE). Touch down at Hilo Intl. Airport (ITO) and you'll be around 5 kilometers east of the center of Hilo. Drop your bags off at your hotel and then experience some of this city's best sights, such as Carlsmith Beach Park and Coconut Island Park.
