Meet Us At Honokohau Harbor

Please arrive 30 minutes before your tour’s departure time. We’ll meet you at the pavilion at Honokohau Harbor, near the restrooms on the north side of the harbor. When you turn off the highway towards the harbor, make your first right (there will be several large rocks on the corner), then follow the road past the fuel station on your left, and turn left after the fuel station. You will turn into a large parking lot, and you will see a pavilion (overhang with benches around the perimeter) next to the restrooms. Our crew will meet you at the pavilion, just before your time of departure, and will escort you to the vessel after checking you in.


The Honokohau Harbor is on Kealakehe Pkwy in Kailua-Kona, HI 96740. View the Google map for precise directions --> https://goo.gl/maps/rQtbFq4FB9CFUcmU7
