We were considering the Entertainment Book too, but after reading these posts are now reconsidering. What about the Go Oahu card? Does anyone recommend it?In looking at the website, in the list of places that had coupons, nothing interested me.
Thanks for starting this thread Robin. I'll be interested in the results for our next visit.While on your trip to Aulani, has anyone ordered an Entertainment Book for your stay?
We use ours here at home/ was thinking about it for our trip to Aulani. If so, does it help with costs?
Thank you

Would love to see a post with details of your other two island plans. Never too early to plan my return I'm thinking Maui and Kauai next trip.We picked up the Entertainment book for our upcoming trip - we used one 4 years ago for Paradise Cove and a snorkel tour and more than made up for the cost of the book.
This time we're doing Paradise Cove only - but also going to 2 other islands. Between that coupon and the national retailer coupons we can use anywhere, it's worth the cost. We got it during their New Year's sale, and picked up that and our local book for the original price of one book.

We did Haleakala but not for sunrise. Believe them when they say it's cold!! The little visitor centers are super tiny, so other than the amazing g views, it won't take long to see, so don't sweat planning other things that day. The drive is also easy; very good road. Hana was brutal for us but cool to do once. My favorite beaches were at the farthest point from where we left (Kahului); wish we could've spent more time there. Don't miss Koki Beach (pics don't do it justice) but make sure to heed the warnings if you get in the water. Molokini is my #1 for next time!We did Oahu and Hawai'i last trip, and this trip we're adding Maui. We for sure don't have enough days on Hawai'i or Maui - too much to do! We haven't scheduled the entire itinerary yet, but here are the main things on the plan for each island:
Hawai'i: Summit tour of Mauna Kea, Hilo/Rainbow Falls, Hawaii Botanical Gardens, Volcano National Park
Maui: Sunrise on Haleakala, Road to Hana, Molokini snorkeling tour
With any luck, we'll find some coupons in the book we can use for meals or for entry to other attractions on these islands or Oahu.

VNP was awesome! I'd figure out a way to see it at dusk if I went again, and do a boat tour!! Rainbow Falls was pretty but it's a tiny little park (don't miss both sides of it--there's a big banyan tree "above" the falls), so it won't take long either.
Yes, Koki is a red beach--well, red and some white. Hamoa is very close and is beautiful and white (golden, not Gulf of Mexico sugar white).I've seen reports of both black and red sand beaches near Hana
It's just a very long day. Very slow driving obviously, plus all the stops take some maneuvering to find parking spots. We also didn't find all this amazing food you hear about--the little stands don't necessarily have seating or any running water for hand washing. Take wipes!! Encountered some of the nastiest public restrooms in all of Hawaii (in our limited travels) in that area too. See above LOL. When you make a stop and do some exploring--hiking, swimming, etc--you don't exactly have relaxing time in the car in between.What was brutal about Hana? We're planning to do it too
