Mahalo for scheduling your field trip with the HIMB Science Inquiry Education Program. We look forward to your visit!
You will soon be receiving an invoice for your lab and boat transportation fees via email. Payments for these fees are appreciated before or on the day of your visit.
Overdue payments may be assessed a late fee. Specific information about payments procedures will be included in your invoice(s).

We ask that waivers signed by all participants be submitted via email 2 days before the visit. Please make sure to scan the form (pdf) and not submit a picture.
All visitors, teachers, chaperones, including guardians of minors, MUST sign the liability waivers. University of Hawai‘i policy stipulates that lack of properly signed liability waivers will result in your group being turned away for your visit. It is particularly important that guardians sign on behalf of any minors (below 18 years old). Hawai‘i DOE employees should NOT sign the waiver per Hawai‘i DOE policy.

Preparation for Your Visit
Your visit to HIMB will require walking approximately ½ mile over uneven, partially paved or gravel road, up and down hills, and the ability to enter and exit rocking boats unassisted. Tours take place outdoors where participants may be exposed to direct sunlight, wind, and rain.
Breaks for lunch need to be arranged outside of field trip time unless you have made other time arrangements with instructors, please plan accordingly. If your group will be eating lunch on island, please note we do not have any food facilities on the island so participants must bring their own food.
Shuttle Car, Arrival & Departure Information
Your group will be accessing the island from our Lilipuna pier, unfortunately we do not have parking at our pier for visitors so you will need to use our shuttle car (see photo to the right) . The shuttle car is only for the drivers, so you must drop off your entire party at Lilipuna pier located at 46-007 Lilipuna Road, Kāne‘ohe where they will wait in the parking lot, not at the pier (indicated below) until the tour guide has arrived.
After dropping everyone off at the pier, drive and park on Lilipuna road outside of Goodyear Auto Service located at 46-047 Kamehameha Hwy. Please walk from your car and wait near the corner area by the Subway (see photo to the right indicated with a yellow star) where the shuttle car will pick you up and take you to the rest of your group at the pier parking lot.
When finishing the tour, all the drivers will go back in the shuttle car to get their cars and then come back to pick up the rest of the group which will be waiting at the Lilipuna Pier.
