Boat Schedule

Weekdays
Shuttle boat runs between Lilipuna Pier and Coconut Island Lighthouse 7am –4:30pm.   Hono Kai runs between Main Lab and Lilipuna Pier:

Leave Lab

Arrive Lilipuna Pier

7:50am

8:00am

3:50pm

4:00pm

4:50pm

5:00pm

Hono Kai returns to Main Lab after loading and unloading at Lilipuna Pier.

After Hours (6:00pm – 10:00pm weekdays)
A boat will run on the hour or half hour if requested.  Requests are made by signing up in the main office before 5pm or by paging the resident boat driver at least 15 min before the hour or half hour.

Weekends and Holidays
A boat will run on the hour from 8:00am to 5:00pm leaving from the small cove by the Marine Mammal Research Program building.

Leave Boat option
A second boat that may be signed out via the resident boat driver can be left on the Lilipuna Pier side for returns outside of normal boat operation hours. The requesting person must be checked out for night boat operations and boat towing by the HIMB Boat RA. If more than one person requests the boat at the same time, the first person returning must shuffle the boat back to Lilipuna for use by later persons (via towing the boat back to Lilipuna behind another boat, returning to Coconut Island in the second boat). This can be a bit tricky in windy conditions and should be practiced before having to do it at night. See Boat RA or resident boat driver for instruction.

Your sponsor will help you obtain a parking hang tag for your vehicle or get a temporary pass from security.
