Kanaloa Octopus is currently closed to the public. We look forward to continuing our mission of research and public education about these fascinating cephalopods and will keep you updated on our plans.
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.
From Waikoloa:
-Same as above but you will head south on Highway 19, and make a right at Kaiminani Drive/Kahilihili St.
