You may also follow these directions: 1. Coming from Hwy 19, turn west (toward the ocean) on Kealakehe Pkwy by the "Honokohau Marina and Small Boat Harbor" sign 2. Take the first right turn to enter the north side of the harbor. Follow this road around the bend for about a quarter mile. You will pass Gentry's gas station on your left. 3. Follow the road all the way down, and park near "Kona Sailing Club." Do not enter or disturb Kona Sailing Club. 4. The Captain will meet you by the Snorkel Big Island truck (Black Ram 2500). Keep in mind, he may be on the boat with his previous tour. He will pull into the boat ramp between the pavilion and Kona Sailing Club.
