KAHULUI, Maui — Hawaii Superferry is trimming its schedule on the O'ahu-Maui route and raising some prices as it switches to a "fall schedule" beginning today, The Maui News reported.

The schedules for services and fares posted on the Superferry Web site indicate a number of changes now in effect.

Sunday fares will go up by $10, depending on travel direction, while weekday and Saturday fares will remain the same.

Superferry spokeswoman Lori Abe said the company did not announce the adjustments because there are so many variations by day and route, recommending that passengers check the rate schedule posted at www.hawaiisuperferry.com.

Changes in the route include eliminating service on Tuesdays and a second roundtrip on Sundays, while rescheduling the single Sunday roundrip to depart Kahului at 1:30 p.m. rather than at 11 a.m.

The 350-foot Alakai has been running a daily roundtrip that starts at 6:30 a.m. on O'ahu, arrives at Kahului at 9:30 a.m., leaves Kahului at 11 a.m. and arrives on O'ahu at 2 p.m. It is also running a second roundtrip on Fridays and Sundays, leaving O'ahu at 3:30 p.m. and leaving Kahului at 8 p.m.

Starting yesterday, there is now a second roundtrip offered only on Fridays, and on Nov. 26 and Nov. 30 — Thanksgiving weekend.

The schedule also indicates the ferry runs may be longer in the winter season. Beginning Dec. 1, the run from O'ahu to Maui is scheduled to start at 6:30 a.m. but not arrive until 10:15 a.m. The run back to O'ahu leaves at 11:15 a.m. and arrives at 2:15 p.m.
