Important Field Trip Information

  • Schedule your group as early as possible.
    (The busiest time of year is April & May)
  • Fill out and Fax the FEE WAIVER FORM to the Park at (808) 882-4610.
  • Make sure you plan enough time for your students to benefit from your visit to the Park. 45-60 minutes is ideal, though 30 minutes is adequate for smaller groups.
