It doesn’t save you much money, but it stressed you out trying to plan in advance. Remember, you have to attend attractions on time or cancel 48 hours in advance for most places or vendors will charge you their full inflate price (on top of the amount you already paid for Go City card). It may ruin your trip trying to use the card.
I bought 3 days with premium attraction, and I was only able to use 1 day, I tried so hard to use the card for other days but couldn’t due to false information provided on their website which ruined my plan.
Iolani Palace: It says to only present our pass without reserving, but no you need to reserve the tickets. I explained to them I had the Go City card but they said there was nothing they could do. I tried to call Go City but no one picked up.
Waimea Valley: Can’t go since there was no waterfall. It says there's no need to book in advance so I didn’t call and went there just to find out there was no waterfall that week.
Pearl Harbor and Honolulu City Tour: It says “you will board the US Navy shuttle boat to travel out to the USS Arizona Memorial that rests above the sunken battleship USS Arizona”. No, it’s not true, you’ll have to reserve the tickets in advance to take the shuttle boat. The tour doesn’t provide that ticket. You can join the stand-by line hoping for people that have tickets to not show up, but it’s super long and you don’t have enough time to get back to the bus. Fortunately, I found out about it before the tour and decided to just go there on my own and use the pass, but turned out I didn’t need a pass for entry at all. So basically the tour is just the shuttle bus.
I was able to visit 2 places:
Moana Splash Luau: The view is beautiful, and that’s it. The show is underwhelming. It says it buffet but there’s limited selection and the food is disappointing.
Makani Catamaran Sail: They only allow you to do 11am or 2pm, best time to get seasick and see nothing. It says price without pass is $118.00. What a big joke. Much cheaper price by buying it on Groupon with a discount code or going with a different provider and paying directly.
Other attractions: Most “tours” are just shuttle bus to 1 location, if there are 2 near-by locations, you’ll have to come back to hotel and take another “tour” with a different shuttle bus vendor. Except the Cirle Island tour, where it takes you to lots of tourist traps.
Snorkel gear rental: Not close to Hanauma bay or Shark Cove so not convenient. Opens at 9AM. This may be just personally because I prefer to go snorkeling early in the morning to see wildlife. Snorkeling at 10AM is too late for me.
They have many attractions but they’re spread out on the island without shuttles. I did try my best to use the card but I realized it wasted my precious vacation time. Tried to buy tours on your own instead of limiting your selection with this card.
