Go Cards are a proven way to save money on vacations. Luxury travel to Hawaii shouldn't entail overplanning; these cards really do make for easy trips to Maui and Oahu.

Thoughts of the ideal luxury vacation on an island in Hawaii usually bring up images of fine dining and shopping, taking in the local culture, perhaps some snorkeling or scuba diving. With all the activities and attractions Hawaii has to offer, it can be hard to squeeze in the all-important poolside cocktails! Time spent planning activities can really chew up precious vacation days. Smart Destinations Go Cards save money, and help with travel plans. While Go Cards are typically for North American city travel, the company's Go Oahu and new Go Maui card are specifically geared towards the more relaxed pace of these tropical vacation islands.

The Go Oahu and Go Maui Cards offer passes to popular travel activities and attractions on the islands, while allowing tourists to set their own pace and make decisions regarding where they want to go, and when. Smart Destinations Go Cards for the islands of Hawaii are different than their city pass cards: More time flexibility is key to having a stress-free vacation. While the US City Go cards must be used each day (in a row), the Hawaii Go Cards can be used sporadically over a two-week vacation time, if desired. These cards help with travel plans, and can be purchased in 1-day, 2-day, 3-day, 5-day and 7-day increments. The Go Cards save money on a vacation in Hawaii, too.

Smart Destination Go Maui Cards feature passes to over 20 of the best tours, top activities and popular attractions Maui has to offer, including:

  • Seasonal Whale Watch
  • Molokini Snorkel Cruise
  • Seasonal Summer Fun Sail
  • Haleakala Bike Ride
  • Kayak and Snorkel Tour
  • Maui Gold and Sports Park Admission

  • Hawaii Nature Center Rainforest Hike
  • Sugar Cane Train ride from Lahaina to Kaanapali

Smart Destinations Go Oahu Cards feature passes to over 25 of the best tours, top activities and popular attractions Oahu has to offer, including:

Luxury travel to Maui, Oahu, or any island in Hawaii can be pricey. The top resorts on Maui and Oahu have such high rates - especially during the peak tourist seasons - that it can be tempting to spend the entire vacation on the hotel grounds. These Smart Destination Go Cards have a proven value: Customers save an average of 34 dollars, not including any further discounts at restaurants and shops. The value of these cards is more than in monetary savings, though. With the attractions and activities being pre-planned, there is less stress, and more time to relax. Don't forget the poolside cocktails.
