Saddle Road (Daniel K. Inouye Highway)
About
The Saddle Road, officially named the Daniel K. Inouye Highway, is the main thoroughfare on the Big Island that connects Kona in the west with Hilo in the east. This 50-minute drive has three optional stops:
1) A rest stop, which we’ll point on the tour;
2) A cinder cone where you can get acclimated to the altitude if you’re embarking on a journey to Mauna Kea; and
3) Mauna Kea, Hawaii’s tallest mountain.
If you’re not planning on visiting any of these places you can just sit back, relax and enjoy the drive.
Note: Keep an eye on your speed! Police monitor this highway closely and frequently hand out tickets to speeding drivers.
