Adventure Fund: Get 30% Off a Gift Card

The Adventure Fund takes 30% off any Active Oahu gift card with the code below. The one thing to know before you start: the discount code goes in after you add the card to your cart, on the checkout screen. These steps walk you through it.

Your Adventure Fund code

GIFT30

30% off any gift card amount, through Nov 26. A $200 card runs $140. A $400 card runs $280.

Get Your Gift Card

Step 1 — Pick your amount

Tap $100, $200, or $400 — or choose Custom and type any amount. $100 is picked for you to start.

Gift card purchase form showing the amount options: Custom, $100, $200, $400

Step 2 — Fill in who it’s for, then Add to cart

Buying it for someone else? Put their name and email — the card emails straight to them after checkout. For yourself, use your own. Then tap Add to cart.

Recipient name and email filled in on the gift card form, with the Add to cart button

Step 3 — On checkout, tap “Apply gift card or discount code”

This is the step that hides. There’s no code box on the first screen — it shows up here, on the checkout screen, under your gift card.

Step 4 — Type GIFT30 and tap Apply

Type the code exactly like that, all caps, then tap the blue Apply button.

GIFT30 typed into the 'Enter gift card or discount code' field, above the Apply button

Step 5 — Check for “30% discount applied”

Your total drops right away. A $100 card shows $70, and with the booking fee the total reads $73.50. If you see that line, you’re set — finish checkout like normal.

Checkout showing '30% discount applied' — the $100 card repriced to $70, total $73.50

Good to know

  • Gift cards never expire.
  • The card credit works on everything we run — kayak and e-bike rentals, self-guided adventures, beach gear.
  • Buying for someone else? Their name and email go in Step 2, yours go in at checkout.
  • Stuck somewhere? Reply to your Adventure Fund email and we’ll walk you through it.

See you out there.
