Notes
Both passes are pretty good deals in Oahu and it’s pretty hard to differentiate them much. In some ways it just comes down to price. If you are interested in the bonus attractions on the Go Oahu Card, you can save a lot more when buying a 3, 5 or 7 day card.
The Go Oahu Card also has a “hidden” feature. You do not need to use the card on consecutive days like the PowerPass.
I would recommend that you buy the Honolulu PowerPass if you are going to do 1 or 2 days of sightseeing as it is less expensive. I would buy the 3 or 5 day card from them if you are not interested in any of the bonus attractions on the Go Card.
What does the “visitation” mean on the list of features?
Visitation means how many times can you visit each attraction. With some passes, like CityPass, you can visit once during the life of the pass. Other passes let you visit once per day over the life of the card.
Do the Oahu Card provide transportation to the different activities
