Cruise Ship Passengers

Coming on a cruise ship and just in Honolulu for the day? Sea Life Park doesn’t pick up at the Aloha Tower Marketplace where the cruise ship docks, but all is not lost. The best course of action is to book an early afternoon interaction and we’ll schedule the pick-up at the Hilton Hawaiian Village hotel. This is a fairly short cab ride from the cruise ship (about 15 minutes), and then you can grab the Sea Life Park shuttle for the rest of the way. On the return to Waikiki at the end of the day you’d be able to spend some time walking around Waikiki and then take a cab back to the cruise ship for your evening departure.
