Kona, Waikoloa A-Bay (Anaehoomalu Bay)

Vessels depart from Anaehoomalu Bay at the Waikoloa Beach Resort. If driving, set your GPS to “69-1081 Kuualii Place Waikoloa, Hawaii 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. Head toward the beach, once you reach the sand, take a right and walk along the beach. About halfway down the beach, you will see a white sign “Hawaii Nautical Check In Here”.  Wait at the sign for the blue tender boat to come ashore.

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.

CHECKING IN: Gather ashore near the white sign that says “Hawaii Nautical Check in here”. We will come to get you there in our blue catamaran tender.
