The small town of Ainaloa, HI is located on the western side of Hawaii's Big Island and is surrounded by the lush rainforest and greenery.

The best option is car rental as there are several car rental companies in the area that can provide vehicles for exploring the nearby towns and attractions.

Taxis are another option, although they aren’t as common in the area so it may be difficult to find one quickly unless you book ahead online or over the phone.
