Leaving from the Kona International Airport, go to Highway 19 (the only exit from the airport), and make a left hand turn onto the Highway. Drive for about 25 minutes till you reach the traffic light and the entrance to the Waikoloa Beach Resort.
Turn left into the resort onto Waikoloa Beach Drive. You’ll pass by the Queen’s Marketplace on the left, then the King’s Shops on the right, followed by the entrance to the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort and Spa. Just past the resort entrance you’ll see a left hand merge lane – merge into this lane and turn left towards the gated community called “Kolea”.
Just before the locked gate you’ll see the entrance to the Beach Access Parking Lot. The paved path to the beach begins just ocean-side of the circle turn-around.

FAQ
Q. Is this activity suitable for children?
A. Yes, there's no minimum age limit for children to participate. This is actually ideal for young children as the boat is equipped with an overhead shade cover to keep you safe from the sun and to improve visibility underwater minimizing glare.
Q. Do I need to be able to swim to participate?
A. No, there is no swimming on this cruise. Although you often have to board from the beach and shallow surf, the water should only come up to your knees.
Q. What kind of boat will be used?
A. The Glassbottom Boat is a US Coast Guard Inspected, custom designed 26-foot fiberglass vessel, able to accommodate up to 19 passengers. It includes shaded bench-style seating, convenient dry boarding via a beach ramp, and a comfortable ride.
