Sea Life Park Field Trip Packet IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS/LEADERS
Aloha and thank you for booking a field trip with us! In order to avoid delays on Education programs, and to assure a quick and orderly entrance into
the park please follow these directions:
(Giving a copy of these directions to chaperones before arrival is advised)
* Educational Programs are subject to change due to staff availability and weather.
1. Arrivals
Unless otherwise mentioned, all groups participating in an additional Education Program will
need to arrive by 9:15AM to ensure adequate check in time.
We cannot always guarantee a staff member to greet your group if you are not participating in an
education program.
-Please have buses drop off and pick up in front of the ticket office, which is right after the bus
stop, and not at our back gate.
-Please have students, teachers, and chaperones quickly and safely exit the bus, and proceed into
the gated area and wait to enter the park until they all have a wristband attached.
-Please have all students in lines with chaperones in the front and back to ensure a quick
wristband application.
Important: Late arrivals may be subject to program cancellations or shortened programs.
2. Payment
-For every 10 paying students, 1 adult is free (groups must be 10 or larger to receive reduced rates)
Teachers, chaperones, parents and 1-on-1 aids are all included in the adult count.
All payment must be made upon arrival unless otherwise arranged.
Before approaching the ticket office you must have accurate payment and student/adult counts
ready.
All payments must be made in one transaction. Any late or additional guests will have to pay
the full admission price (Kama‘aina Rate = $20 Adults/ $15 children + tax).
Please bring checks the day of the field trip. They can be made out to Sea Life Park.
-There are no refunds after payment has been made. Sea Life Park will only refund if your
prewritten group check is over the amount of admissions. This will only be done at the time of
initial payment. Any refunds over $100.00 will be referred to Sea Life Park’s Accounting
Department.
Payment (cont.)
-Sea Life Park will only accept personal checks from teacher/group leader if they are paying for the
entire group.
If paying with a credit card, the card holder MUST be present to process payment. If this is not
possible, please contact our education department at [email protected] and we
will arrange for a plan of payment over the phone.
Cash payments must be made in one lump sum.
If paying with a Purchase Order, this must be pre-arranged with the Education Department and we
must have a billing address ahead of time. The Purchase Order must be brought upon arrival with a
P.O. number and billing address included.
3. Late Arrivals: (options)
Please leave first and last names of participants arriving late with our ticket office. They will
wristband them once their names are verified.
Or, have them pay Kama‘aina rate upon arrival. If names have not been left with ticket office
staff of late arrivals, they will be charged Kama‘aina Rate.
4. Season Pass Holders
Any child or parent that has a season pass can use their season pass for free admission into the
park. They must present their season pass to the ticket office at the same time as the teacher who is
taking care of the group payment. They will receive their own wristband for admission and should not
be counted as a part of your student/adult count.
5. Lunches
We recommend school groups bring their own water since there is only one drinking fountain.
You may keep your lunches on the school bus as long as when you retrieve them, the wristband
is visible.
Student lunches may be stored in a small room on the turtle side of the 3D theater. That door
needs to be unlocked by a member of Education who will be available on the other side of the
theater at 10:30AM and 11:30AM for lunch pick up! Please see location on map attached.
Due to limited space and easier travel through the park, please bring your lunches in roller carts/
coolers, or a box.
5. Lunches (cont.)
If you’re bringing lunch to the Park please abide by the following rules:
Picking up lunch from storage is available at 10:30AM and 11:30AM. Please advise
which time works for your group.
Please keep the area clean as loose trash can get into our animal enclosures and be a hazard
for the animals.
Please leave trash bags in the trash disposal area as shown on the map. There should be grey
or black bins available to put your trash in..
Please do not use park trash cans for school lunches. Overflowing trash cans create a dangerous
situation for our animals.
You may also order lunch through Sea Life Park at the following options: School Lunch package options are as follows, please choose one option for your whole group:
Groups may add a fruit cup to any package for $1 more, $6 total. No refunds may be granted.
Payment for lunch should be separate and done separately between the group ordering and the
restaurant cashier (cash, separate check, etc.).
*All lunch orders must be made two weeks in advance

Please go over all guidelines with your group and chaperones before

RESPECT ALL ANIMALS AND PARK PROPERTY
Please do not tease, feed, or touch any animal without permission and supervision of a Sea
Life Park Staff member. All animals are potentially dangerous, whether in a marine park,
zoo, or the wild. Intentional property damage is unacceptable and will affect future visits.
Adventure Kids Play Zone is a fun zone for Elementary School children. Please follow this
guideline as we want to keep the Play Zone safe and fun for all. We reserve the right to ask
any unruly groups to leave the premises.
PLEASE STAY OUT OF ROPED AND RESTRICTED AREAS
These areas are off-limits for your safety, as well as the safety of the animals. Please do not
lean into or put hands in the pools or other habitats.
STICK TOGETHER
Students, regardless of their grade level, are not allowed to wander the park unsupervised.
Chaperones are responsible and accountable for accompanying students and maintaining
group supervision throughout the entire visit. Again, we reserve the right to ask any unruly
groups to leave the premises.
OUTSIDE FOOD AND BEVERAGES ARE NOT ALLOWED
Outside food and beverages are not permitted in the park. The only exception has been
made for school groups. If you would like to arrange for your group to have their brown-
bagged lunches at Sea Life Park, please call the school reservationists at 808-259-2512.
Lunches are scheduled from 10:30am-11:15am and 11:30am -12:15pm at the Kolohe Kai
Surf Club. If a group is found eating in the Beach Boy Lanai, they will be asked to move.
Plastic bags are not permitted in the park. They are hazardous to our animals.
IF SOMETHING IS ACCIDENTLY DROPPED INTO AN ANIMAL EXHIBIT,
PLEASE BRING IT TO THE ATTENTION OF A SEA LIFE PARK STAFF
MEMBER IMMEDIATELY! Sunglasses, pencils, hats, coins, and slippers are some objects that have been pulled out of
animal enclosures. Objects like these can be extremely harmful to an animal. If someone
drops something into an animal enclosure, please find a Sea Life Park staff member
immediately so they can remove the object.
OTHER INFORMATION
Radios/music players are not permitted inside the park. Please do not run, always walk.
Many areas get wet and may be slick.

Sea Life Park participates in.

been brought to us by the public that cannot be released
into the wild.

These Green Sea Turtles here have produced thousands of
hatchlings. Most hatchlings are released, however some are
kept at Sea Life Park for about a year and some even travel
to the mainland through loan programs. Visit our turtle
lagoon to see some of our adult turtles basking on the beach
or chomping on leafy greens. (Turtle food is available for
purchase).
