TAR 20 Ep 12 "It's a Great Place to Become Millionaires" Hawaii
georgiapeach:
You all might want to go back and take another look at the season long preview and the caps we got after episode 1.

We know teams are travelling BY HELICOPTER up the coast.
SO...
Either the RB is there at Kualoa resort and whoever goofed doesn't have far to go back...
OR :ascared
The unfortunate team would have to travel BACK to wherever by helicopter to complete the challenge.
DrRox:
Just some ideas on the finish of TAR20. Access to the Kaneohe Bay/Kailua Bay area of eastern Oahu from Honolulu area is pretty easy via the
1st) Pali Highway
2nd) Likilike Highway
3rd) the H3 Interstate Highway
If they only have the tower climb and rappel in downtown Honolulu, then the Pali Highway is easiest/quickest way to get to the other side of the mountains.
On the Finish Line Stage (marked with a red map pin), upstage is to the east (right) and downstage is to the west (left). Teams always approach the downstage side of the Finish Line Stage/Mat. At the western end of the beach is a pretty open area that Production could use to have the final RB task. This possible RB area is marked with a red R.
It appears to me that teams arrive in this area via jet skis. It depends on just how far Production wants them to ride the jet skis. A good, secure launch point would be on the Marine Corps Base Hawaii, similar to the air force base in Guam in TAR11. They would have no security problems there. The jet ski distance seems a little far, but then it could explain why a team got mistaken about the location of the RB and Finish Line Mat.
A closer launch point for the jet skis could be Waiahole Beach Park, where Production could also control access if they rent it for the day. Possible jet ski launch points are marked with a red J.

It seems quite likely that the final RB could be on the ranch sort of like TAR9 and the team in question just gets off the chopper and runs to Phil without doing the task.

Thanks! SO maybe they don't take the helicopters all the way??
We have the rappel
the Jetskis, one driving, one surfing behind? Two teams seen together
the unplaced RB
so far...
We also know teams travel by helicopter along the coast at some point.
We also have aerials shots:
Slowhatch confirmed the locations here:

It looks like that helicopter is flying over the town of Punaluu or Kaawa. I also did a search and the only heliport in the area is at Kualoa Ranch OR they could be flying to the Marine Base in Kaneohe.
