How long is the walk from the Hilton to the Mauna Lani ? And is it a nice walk along a nice beach ?

We will there for July 4 next yesr, and will probably stay at the Hilton; wondering if we can walk-along-the-beach to the Mauna Lani for the ';Turtle Release';, or if we will need to drive...

It is only about two miles from the Hilton Waikoloa to Mauna Lani Bay Hotel.

No it is not a nice walk along the beach. In fact, there are basically no beaches between the two except at Honokaope Bay, about mid-way.

The direct foot access is via an ancient trail system about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile inland (through some petroglyph fields). Otherwise you would have to pick your way through developments and golf courses if you wanted to stay close to the shore; although there are some ';trail'; sections along the shoreline.

It is all rock in the area (relatively young lava feilds) except for the smallish strands of sand at the base of each bay. It will be hot, dry and either fairly humid or quite windy.

Take water and SOLID shoes.

I have done this walk and I agree with Amberloo. Not a nice walk . Lots of jagged rock. I usually bike between the Hilton to the Mauna Lani instead using the Highway.

No, don%26#39;t do this, especially for a first visit where you are not familiar with what ';trails'; on lava look like and are not accustomed to Big Island summer conditions on lava fields. Just drive over to Mauna Lani. It%26#39;s 5 minutes, not huge crowds, there will be parking. Once you are at Mauna Lani, you can also walk along the shore there (nice) over to Orchid and past there to the Puako Petroglyh fields. That is a very nice walk and we do it many times during a ML stay.

Thank you for the responses - drive it is, no walking...
