The WikiWiki Ferry will run from Iroquois Point beginning Monday as the ferry demonstration project begins its third phase.

The ferry service is free for the first three weeks of service. Then, for four weeks, passengers will be charged $1.50.

Commuters will be able to leave their cars at a supervised Park & Ride facility (the vacant bowling alley parking lot) located at the Ewa Beach Shopping Center on Fort Weaver Road.

At the lot, a shuttle bus will pick up commuters to take them to and from the dock site.

The demonstration project is an effort to offer transportation alternatives for Leeward and Central Oahu commuters.

The WikiWiki Ferry will operate on a five-day-a-week schedule, from Monday to Friday, between Iroquois Point and Pier 9 at Aloha Tower Marketplace.

The first ferry ride will leave Iroquois Point at 6 a.m., arriving at Aloha Tower at 6:30 a.m. A return ferry will leave Aloha Tower at 4:40 p.m., arriving at Iroquois Point a half-hour later.

Demonstration runs have also been made this year from Middle Loch and Kalaeloa (Barbers Point) to Aloha Tower.

To book reservations or for more information on the ferry schedule, location, parking or bus shuttle pickup points, call the WikiWiki Ferry Hotline at 848-6360.

The ferry was put into service Oct. 18 as a $3 million yearlong demonstration project to study the feasibility of a ferry system here.
