It is 30 miles from Lihue Airport to Pali Ke Kua and it takes about 50-60 minutes to drive when conditions are optimal. During rush hours, traffic slows down around Kapa'a adding as much as 45 minutes to the trip. If you are trying to catch a flight, plan on allowing at least 2 hours. Or, if you have a late flight, drive down to Lihue early do some last minute shopping, have dinner on the east side before taking your rental car back.
