Directions to Kanaloa Octopus Farm
Our facility is located directly behind the Kona Airport, in the Hawaii Ocean Science Technology Park's research campus. Use this link for GPS directions:
​
​
From Kona:
​
-Head north on Highway 19 (Queen Kaahumanu Highway) and make a left turn at Kaiminani Dr./Kahilihili St. (you should see a sign that says "Hawaii Ocean Science Technology Park").
​
-Follow that road until you get to a stop sign, and make a right.
​
-Head down towards the beach, and continue parallel to the beach all the way to the end! You should get to a gated "Research Campus." Enter through the gates and make a left at the last palm tree. You should see the facility directly to the left.
