HONOLULU, Hawaii -- Officials said it's the final leg for the Hawaii Superferry, which left Long Beach Harbor Tuesday morning.

Superferry officials said they expect the "Alakai" to arrive in Honolulu this weekend -- passenger service could begin as early as the end of August.

One-way regular adult passenger fares will range between $44 and $62. Officials said each passenger would be charged a fuel surcharge that will range between $14 and $19 per a one-way regular adult passenger fare.

They said that charges for transporting a car would cost slightly more at $18 to $21 for a one-way trip.

Both the passenger and vehicle surcharges will vary each month depending on the cost of fuel, officials said.

Officials said that the Superferry is more than just a boat.

"We are offering something that is really a travel experience for our residents and our visitors alike, as well as commercial businesses -- this is going to be tremendous value for them," said John Garibaldi, a spokesman for the Hawaii Superferry.
