The liveaboard boat returns to the pier after lunchtime on Friday, with checkout being Saturday morning at 8:00 hrs. You will be assisted with transfers to Kona airport or nearby hotels. The Friday evening meal is taken at a local restaurant and is not included in the price.
The last dive of the cruise will be at around 12 noon on the second last day of the trip. Please wait at least 18 hours before flying after diving.
