Directions for Kailua Pier & Check-In:
To get to the pier in Kailua-Kona from the Waikoloa Resorts: Head south on Highway 19. Kailua-Kona is approximately 10 miles south of Kona Airport. One of the first big streets in town is Palani Drive. Go right towards the ocean.
Palani Drive turns into Ali'i Drive (which is the waterfront road). You'll see the pier in the bay, next to King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel as soon as you get close to the water. The address of the hotel is 75-5660 Palani Rd, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740.
You can park at the hotel by the pier for a fee, or
The free parking you can get to 2 ways:
1. From Palani Drive near the bottom of the hill (before it becomes Ali'i Drive) turn right on Kuakini Hwy (which is just a regular street here). Go up a bit and the parking lot is on the right just after the 3-story building and before the gas station just across the street. OR
2. Continue on Ali'i Drive and make a hairpin turn up the alley way between Scandinavian shave ice & the ABC store that's on the mountain side of the road. (There's 4 ABC stores in town this one is at the south end of the sea wall in the bay with the pier). This alleyway is Likana Lane and is right next to the free parking lot. Your turn is (north of or) just BEFORE you reach Hulihe'e Palace and Mokuaikaua Church.
Park and walk to the water and on towards the pier. You'll see a big red sign for Bite Me 4 on the right side of the pier right in front of the boat.
FOR CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS:
You'll de-board the cruise ship and the Bite Me 4 has a big red sign on the opposite side of this small pier.
