Directions
and Maps
to Makai Ocean Engineering:
From
Honolulu Airport: Total driving time
to Makai Ocean Engineering will be about 30 to 45 minutes. To exit from the
airport onto the freeway, it is easier to first pass in front of the main
airport terminal. At the outgoing
(southeast) end of the terminal is an on-ramp for the H-1 freeway. The on-ramp
splits, take the right side heading east, towards Honolulu.
Once on the freeway, get over toward the left lanes, taking the lanes
marked Honolulu, East. (You do not
want the lanes marked Middle Street, Waikiki, Dillingham or Nimitz.). Stay on
this road until you get to our office, although the road progressively gets
smaller and smaller over the next 20 miles and the name changes. Read below on
“Proceed to Makai.”
From Waikiki: Most
hotels on the island are in Waikiki. Note that there are two main one-way roads
in Waikiki. Kalakaua Avenue goes to the SE and the Ala Wai Blvd. goes to the NW.
You can exit on either one. Total driving time will be from 30 to 40 minutes to
Makai Ocean Engineering.
If you
leave Waikiki using Kalakaua Ave., turn left onto Kapahulu Avenue past the
zoo and then turn left onto Date Street (the third traffic light). At the next
main intersection, turn a sharp right onto Kapiolani Blvd. A very short distance
up is a traffic light and on the left is an East-Bound entrance ramp onto the
H-1 freeway. You can take that. You stay on this road until you get to our
office, although the road progressively gets smaller and smaller over the next
20 miles and the name changes. Read below on “Proceed to Makai.”
If you
leave Waikiki using Ala Wai Blvd, proceed to McCully St. where you make a
right turn, crossing the canal. Go one short block and then turn right again
onto Kapiolani. A short distance up is a light and on the left is an East-Bound
entrance ramp onto the H-1 freeway. You can take that. You stay on this road
until you get to our office, although the road progressively gets smaller and
smaller over the next 20 miles and the name changes. Read below on “Proceed to
Makai.”
Proceed
to Makai: Proceed East on the H-1 freeway. Part of this road is elevated and
there are numerous exits. Stay on this road - we are about 25 minutes out of
Honolulu. This road progressively gets smaller and smaller and finally dwindles
to a two-lane road with some nice scenery. At Makapuu, the SE corner of the
Island, you will make a sharp curve to the left, climb a steep hill, and have a
spectacular view of Windward Oahu. You can then see the Makai Research Pier
about a mile down the coast. If you are looking at a regular tourist map, we are
just beyond Sea Life Park. The pier is the only thing out in the water other
than a few islands, so you can’t miss us.
Please drive
onto the pier to park your car. Our offices are located on the pier end
building, second floor.
If
you have problems, please give us a call at 259-8871. If you need to ask for
help, ask for directions to "Sea Life Park" or "Waimanalo."
