Hawaii Superferry taking reservations for inter-island departures

The Hawaii Superferry service is accepting reservations for daily inter-island departures, scheduled to begin Aug. 28, from Oahu to Maui and Kauai. The base fares for one-way trips are $42 to $62 per adult; $41 to $51 for seniors, retired military, and children ages 2 to 12; and $17 for infants. A lounge upgrade costs $20 per passenger. Vehicles will cost $34 to $104.

But the big catch is a fuel surcharge, which varies monthly (for tickets purchased during August, it’s 30.8%), on each passenger and vehicle fare. There are discounts for buying tickets in advance and on the website. Info: (877) 443-3779, www.hawaiisuperferry.com.
