Kailua Kona, HI 96740

Saddle Road, also known as Hwy 200, facilitates travel between the west and east sides of the Big Island of Hawaii, providing easy access between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. This road has undergone significant transformation in recent years, including extensive repaving and the addition of the new Daniel K Inouye Highway, which improves travel times and enhances safety.

The route features stunning landscapes, including lava fields and military training grounds, as well as amenities like the Mauna Kea Visitor Center, which offers restrooms, exhibits, and stargazing programs. Visitors should remain cautious of changing road conditions, wildlife, and the limited availability of cell service during their journey.
