Approximate drive time is 1 hour 20 minutes.
Leaving the airport, turn right at the intersection onto Kapule Highway 51, which merges into Kuhio Highway 56 heading north. Stay on this road all the way until you arrive at the entrance to Hanalei Colony Resort. The resort is located five miles past Hanalei. Look for the Hanalei Colony Resort sign on the right about one mile after the double one-lane bridges. The physical address is 5-7130 Kuhio Highway. You will be on the top floor of building F in #F-3.
There are several one lane bridges along your route. Local custom is 5-7 cars at a time cross the bridge, then traffic in the other direction gets a turn.
During heavy rains the bridge over the Hanalei river may close. You can call KPD at 808-241-1725 to check on the status of the bridge.
Beginning on June 27 and continuing through the end of 2023, the Kuhio Highway will be closed at the Hanalei bridge every Sunday through Thursday night. The highway will close at 11:00PM and re-open at 5:30am the following morning.
- If you are arriving to Hanalei Colony Resort on Sunday – Thursday, please take care in scheduling a flight arrival time earlier than 7pm, in order to ensure you have time to get across the bridge before the road closes.
- If you are departing Hanalei Colony Resort on Monday – Friday, please make sure you do not have a flight departure time earlier than 10am, to ensure you have sufficient time to reach the airport after the bridge re-opens in the morning.
- Note that bridge construction is not guaranteed to complete within the projected six-month time frame. Delays due to weather are common. If you are traveling during the first half of 2024, it is possible bridge construction will still be ongoing, and we advise scheduling your flight times accordingly.
