The Event
The World Championship held each year in Kailua-Kona will be a womens-only race in 2025. On Saturday 11 October, 2025 the world’s best professional and age group women will set off into Kailua Bay to start their personal journey over the 226km journey to the finish line on Alii Drive.
Royal Kona Resort
Situated facing the Pacific Ocean on Kailua Bay and within 600m of the event start/finish area, the Royal Kona Hotel boasts an outdoor swimming pool, an on-site restaurant and rooms offering mountain and ocean views. Rooms are decorated in soft colours with rich wood accents and offer comfortable verandas.
Event Location
The west coast of Hawaii is known as the “Kona Side” and Kailua-Kona is the lively centre of it all. This historic seaside town sits in the middle of the Kona coast.
Getting there
All visitors to Kona arrive via Hawaiian inter-island flights. The Kona Airport is about 30 minutes from the township of Kona, and Tri Travel provide transfers for all of our tour members who are booked not he 10-night arrival and departure dates.
Visa
Australian visitors to the United States, for business or tourism, staying 90 days or less, do not need to obtain a visa. However an online travel authorisation needs to be obtained through ESTA, which is a quick, free internet application with authorisation received within a few minutes.
Location Highlights
Now, because of its central location and tropical weather it has transformed into a lively town that is the activity capital of the Big Island. It is the city on the Big Island that is best equipped for tourism, but still retains the ‘old Hawaii’ feel with none of the high rises or large shopping centres the Waikiki has.
There are many shops and markets selling locally produced items and there is a good offering of restaurants. Relax and look at the waves crashing over the black lava rocks while sipping from a cup of the world-famous Kona coffee, or have some freshly caught ahi (tuna) at one of the seaside restaurants.
