OUR IRONMAN HAWAII SERVICE
We select every hotel in our portfolio with an athlete's eye. This means first-class equipment for you, the right atmosphere on site, and an environment that pushes you.
Airport welcome
Welcome to Big Island! We greet you right at the airport with leis (traditional flower garlands), cold drinks and the full HHT team on the ground.
Airport-to-accommodation transfer
(on Alii Drive and the surrounding area)
In style: we take you straight from the airport to your hotel in the iconic yellow American school bus. We handle your luggage and your bike as a matter of course.
Welcome gift
You'll receive our exclusive Kona t-shirt. The design is created individually for each trip and is not available to buy.
Mechanical service
We have our own mechanic on-site to take care of your bike. And if a bigger problem arises, we provide a replacement bike in an emergency so your race is never in jeopardy.
All shuttles included
Our team reliably gets you to every programme event, group training session or shopping run with our shuttles.
Training sessions
We offer group bike rides and run sessions as well as a daily shuttle for the morning swim at the Pier.
Rides to Hawi
We take you and your bike by bus to Hawi, the turnaround point on the bike course. From there you ride 90 km back to Kona on the actual race route. This lets you get familiar with the wind conditions and the course. Nutrition support along the way is of course included!
Race seminar
So no question goes unanswered on race day: at our exclusive race seminar we prepare you thoroughly for the specific demands of Kona. We cover the entire course in detail, give you invaluable tips on pacing, nutrition and wind tactics, and share our decades of experience in Hawaii with you.
Hangouts (sunset get-together and post-race celebration)
Soak up the Kona spirit away from all the race-week buzz. At our Sunset Hangout we get in the zone together ahead of the big day – and after the race we celebrate your finisher stories at the After-Race Hangout.
Myth run and evening event
On a group run through the Energy Lab we feel first-hand what makes the Hawaii myth. At the Hawaii Myth Evening that follows, we share the stories that created it.
"Feel-Free" baggage service
While you extend your Hawaii experience on another island after the race, we keep your luggage (and your bike) safe and bring it to the airport in time for your flight back to Europe.

The Ironman Hawaii isn’t just a race – it’s the original. Since its debut in 1978, the race on the Big Island has become the most prestigious competition in the world. Anyone who competes here has come a long way and faces not only the competition but also the extreme conditions of the Pacific island.
The Hard Facts about Ironman Hawaii:
-
Strictly limited field: Every year, around 90,000 athletes worldwide try to qualify. Being there means you're in the top 2% of your sport.
-
The magic distance: 3.8 km swim in the Pacific, 180 km cycle through the lava desert and 42.2 km run to the legendary finish arch on Alii Drive.
-
Relentless elements: The infamous Mumuku winds on the Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway and temperatures well over 30 degrees make Kona arguably the toughest place in triathlon.
-
From the starting gun at the pier to the infamous Energy Lab—every meter of the course is the scene of athletic milestones and dramatic decisions. Here, you’ll follow in the footsteps of legends like Dave Scott, Mark Allen, and Jan Frodeno.
Kona is unpredictable and magical at the same time. With the qualification you have got your ticket for an unforgettable experience. We at Hannes Hawaii Tours make sure that you can fully concentrate on this experience.
