Booking is only available online. If you can not select a specific date or time, that means it is fully booked or unavailable; please do not show up expecting a tour.
Tours are only offered three times a day at 10:00 AM, 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM. Approximately 1 hour long.
Due to limited space of the lab, only 35 people can book per tour, at a first book, first serve basis. $33 per adult and $16 per child (5 and under). Infants are free.
The 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 Hightway) 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.
From Waikaloa:
-Same as above but you will head south on Highway 19, and make a left at Kaiminani Road/Kahilihili St.
