If you are spending a few days exploring Oahu, you might want to consider buying a Go Oahu pass.

You will find below everything you need to know about the Go Oahu pass, guaranteed to make your sightseeing experience in Oahu seamless.

What’s the Go Oahu pass and what’s included?

The Go Oahu pass is an all-inclusive pass that gives you discounted access to many of Oahu’s top attractions, and includes discounted entry to some of the island’s premium attractions. Not only does the pass save you money, it also helps you to beat the queues and plan your trip.

The Oahu pass grants you entry to over 40 of Oahu’s top attractions and experiences, and if you have a 3, 4, 5, or 7 day pass you can also choose between one of seven premium attractions or experiences.

The great thing about buying a Go Oahu pass is that it suggests attractions that you may not have known about or considered. With the Go City app installed on your phone, you can learn more about the outdoor activities, places of interest, cultural experiences and historical sites worth visiting while in Oahu.

How does the Go Oahu pass work? How to use it?

You can buy an Oahu pass from several online travel websites and through the official website. Prices may differ, so be sure to do your research.

To use a Go Oahu pass, you will need to download the Go City app onto your phone. Once you have done this, you purchase a pass for the duration that suits you. For Oahu, 1 to 7 day passes are available.

The pass is activated when you visit your first attraction and is valid for consecutive days thereafter. A pass is valid for a single use for each attraction which means that you will have to book and pay separately if you would like to visit an attraction for a second time.

Some attractions require advance booking while others welcome visitors on the day. You will be able to find this information on the reservations page of the app.

You will show a copy of your pass directly from your phone (or you can print a copy if you prefer) to gain entrance.

Is a Go Oahu pass worth getting?

Before deciding whether or not a Go Oahu pass is right for you, there are a few things that you should consider:

The first consideration is how long you will be staying in Oahu and what you would like to see and do. If you have only got 1 or 2 days for sightseeing, you should consider which attractions you want to visit or what activities you would like to do.

You can then compare the costs of the individual excursions with the price of a pass. If you are going to be on Oahu for several days and would like to visit as many attractions as possible then a Go Oahu pass may offer you good value.

This is because the cost of the pass will probably be less than the combined costs of the activities if you pay for them each separately.

When deciding whether to get a Go Oahu pass or not, you should also consider your transport needs. If you are planning on using public transport or a hop-on hop-off bus service, you will easily be able to get around and can make the most of your pass.

If you have a jam-packed list of things to see or do while in Oahu, would like to get a great deal on multiple outdoor activities and attractions, and like the idea of hassle-free, cash-free entry to attractions, then a Go Oahu pass may be right for you.
