Queen Lili'uokalani Canoe Race Shuttle

Body Glove Cruises is offering their 65' catamaran named the Kanoa II to transport race participants and spectators. Crews will make their exchange from Kanoa II to canoe (men) or Kanoa II to ship (women), out in the bay at Honaunau.

The only way to book this shuttle is by full six-person crews as the boats are out in Honaunau Bay, crew exchanges are made from the stern of the vessel. Spectator bookings are round trip.

This is a great way to watch the race and enjoy the coastline (And no driving or parking headaches).

Schedule for Saturday, Sept. 3, 2011
*Departure at the Kailua Pier 6:30 am with a 6:00 am check-in.

The Kanoa II will follow along the women's race to the finish at Honaunau.
Canoes will then come along side the Kanoa II and crews will transfer.

The Kanoa II will return with the men's race. In the later stage of the men's race, the Kanoa II will move ahead so all passengers can unload at the Kailua Pier before the men's crew finish.

* Women racers should send a post race bag with the men to have on board when they finish.

Cost for Transport
$18 for racing crewmembers (one-way)
$36 for spectators (round trip only)

For children under 5 and younger, please consider that the round trip will be approximately 6 hours and there is nowhere on board to lie down.

Food and beverage is available for sale on board. For the women race participants on the return to Kailua, a full service bar is available.
