Boarding Details: Vessels depart from Anaehoomalu Bay at the Waikoloa Beach Resort. Be at the check-in flag on the beach 20 minutes prior to trip. If driving, set your GPS to "69-1081 Kuualii Place, Waikoloa, HI 96738". This will take you toward the A-Bay beach and the Lava Lava Beach Club. Park at the A-Bay Beach Park parking lot, and walk along the beach toward the middle. Look for our orange Hawaii Nautical check-in sign near the two prominent coconut trees. We will come get you there in our catamaran tender. When boarding at A-Bay, it is a beach-loading process with transfer from a tender-boat, with barefoot entry that takes a few steps near shore from the beach. Come in casual clothing that may come in contact with water.
