Is to contact Guest Services at least 48 hours prior to your visit (a week prior if you’re bringing a group of people with disabilities). We will then fax or email you a questionnaire for you to fill out and return to us. The information you provide will allow us to properly assess your physical condition. We will then contact you regarding which attractions you may participate in. Despite all our capabilities, there sometimes may still be some rides, attractions, activities, animal interactions or areas of the Park that we cannot make reasonably safe or accessible for you. Safety is the only consideration that takes precedence over fun!

Naturally, we also operate in compliance with all laws related to disabilities.

When our Team Members find a lost child, the child is taken to the Service Center.

Sea Life Park only accepts electronic payments. These include all major credit and debit card providers (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, and Discover) and secure mobile payment systems (Apple Pay, Google/Android Pay, Samsung Pay). We do not accept cash, however, Guests can transfer cash onto a prepaid card through a simple and safe process at several Cash to Card kiosks located throughout Sea Life Park.

First, please be sure to take the receipt issued during your transaction at the Cash to Card Kiosk. This will list the amount of cash you deposited. Then, head to the nearest Guest Services location. At Sea Life Park, Guest Services can be found near the front entrance. A Team Member will work with the card provider to resolve the error as quickly as possible so you can get back to fun!

There are no penalties or fees if you attempt to make a purchase that is larger than the amount of funds on the card. You will need to provide another form of payment to complete the transaction or load additional money onto a new card.

By transitioning to only accepting electronic payments such as debit cards, credit cards, and mobile methods like Apple Pay, Sea Life Park will provide a faster, safer and more guest-friendly experience. Staff will spend less time handling cash and more time serving Guests, reducing our reliance on this less secure method of payment.

Prepaid cards cannot be reloaded. Instead, get a new prepaid card free of charge at a nearby Cash to Card kiosk.

No, cryptocurrencies will not be accepted at the park.

Sea Life Park guests can transfer anywhere from $1 to $500 onto a prepaid card at several kiosks located throughout the park. This transfer process is free, and the card can be used throughout the park and any outside locations where credit or debit cards are accepted.

The Cash to Card Kiosks are free to use; there is no fee to load cash onto the prepaid card. If the card is used regularly, there is no recurring fee. After 92 consecutive days of no transaction activity, however, a $3.95 fee will be charged each month.

None! Use of the kiosks is anonymous, helping make the cards provided among the most secure forms of payment possible.

There are several ways to check your balance. First, you can swipe the card and see the balance at any Cash to Card Kiosk at Sea Life Park Hawaii. You can also visit RCbalance.com or call the number listed on the back of each card.
