| Booking |
| | What is the procedure for making a booking? To make a booking, you will need to setup a free account. This account will have a single login and hold all the reservations you make for all your clients. After you have created an account, simply research the activity you are interested in and add it to the shopping cart. The booking engine will then walk you through step by step. Once you have entered your client's information, the booking engine saves that data allowing you to rapidly book multiple activities for your clients. With 24/7 access to their reservations, you know exactly what was booked and all the details for the activity. |

| | When should I book my client's activity? How far in advance should I book my client's activity? Many activities sell out weeks or even months in advance. In fact, you may be disappointed to find that not only is the chosen activity sold out, but most other activities are sold out as well. Hawaii is a very popular destination, so to avoid disappointment, book as early as possible. |

| | Help with booking an activity Booking an activity requires that you use a cookie-enabled browser (all modern browsers are cookie-enabled). A cookie is a "key" to your account, and without that, there is no way to unlock it. The cookie is your key, and it is kept by your browser. The cookie is a simple encoded text file that acts like your personal key. Beyond that, simply add any activity to your clients account and proceed to the checkout when you are ready to book it. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us anytime via the Contact Us page. |

What is a voucher? A voucher is a ticket to each activity that is booked. Like an airplane ticket, a voucher is required for entrance to the activity. Each voucher has a unique identifier and a bar code and can only be used once. A voucher may be for one or more individuals who are booked for a specific activity at a given time. |

How do I issue a voucher to my client? When the activity has been confirmed, your voucher will be available for printing from your account. Simply log into your account and click on your client's name and then the "Voucher" link. Optionally, you may wish to create a "client" account for your client and let them printout their voucher from there. |

Does my client need a voucher? Yes, a voucher is required for admission to the activity you have booked. |

Printing vouchers You can print a voucher on any printer connected to your computer. Simply click the "Print Voucher" link. In addition, your client may print out their voucher by logging into an account you create for them. |

| Cookie Help |
| | What are Cookies and why do I need to enable them? Simply put, cookies are a text file which we ask your browser to save. This piece of text is completely harmless. It looks like "abcdefghijklmnop123456789". The reason this piece of text is required is simple too: the World Wide Web is built on "respond and forget" technology. Basically, that means that when you ask for a web page, the server sends it to you and then forgets who you are. A cookie is a "key" so that our server can remember you. In the same way that your automobile wont work without a key to start it, without a cookie to remember you, the shopping cart will not work.
