Aloha Robert,
Welcome back to planDisney! Thanks for asking another fantastic question about your upcoming vacation to
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. It has me reminiscing about my family’s trip to O‘ahu last year - we had an amazing time at the resort! My daughters especially loved splashing around in the
Waikolohe Valley Pool area and were thrilled to meet their favorite
Disney Characters.
It’s easy to fill your days with all the incredible activities and amenities Aulani has to offer, but like you, my family wanted to explore the rest of the island too. While the resort website lists some tour options, they are run by third-party operators, and none depart directly from the resort. I suggest looking into local tour companies — many are accessible and ask that Guests contact them for details.
We wanted to explore the island at our own pace and select a few must-see spots. Renting a vehicle allowed us to venture out when we wanted, and Aulani makes this super convenient! There’s a car rental counter right at the resort in the Conference Center, and you can also book a vehicle
online or by calling (855) 266-9565.
I hope this information is helpful to your vacation planning, Robert. If you think of any other questions, please visit us again at
planDisney! We are happy to assist.
A Hui Hou, (this means until we see each other again in Hawaiian),
Candace
