Check in is at 3:30 PM at the Kona Pier. They have live music, bathrooms, seating upstairs and downstairs, 1 free cocktail, full bar for extra drinks, decent buffet dinner which happens down by the Captain Cook Monument. Nice option for those who want to get out on the water and stay dry. Great sunsets. Tour time is about 3 hours long from start to finish. Bring a long sleeve if you get cool easily. The ocean breeze is nice but sometimes chilly.
