Sunset Cruise Departure Location
Thursday May 6, 2010 (Arrive at 4:30pm - boat departs 5:00pm)
Whale Center in Kawaihae Harbor
( 61-3657 Akoni Pule Hwy Kawaihae ,HI 96743)

Coming from Kona or Kohala Coast resorts, head north on Highway 19 and you will eventually come to a fork in the road. Take that left onto highway #270, follow it for about 1.5 miles and you will see on your right side our newly added Whale Center. There is a Big Ocean Sports sign out front. It is also right below the 76 gas station, so if you pass it you have gone too far. Parking is right across the building next to the green fence. If you have any difficulty finding these places or forget where you are supposed to be checking in. Please give us a call (808) 886-6666 ext. 103.
