Frequently Asked Questions

This offer is for those who serve. RIMPAC attendees and military service members at every stage — active duty, Reserve, National Guard, retirees, and veterans — are welcome, along with coalition RIMPAC partners. Just present a valid military, veteran, or RIMPAC ID at check-in.
-
Can I bring my family and friends?

-
What ID do I need to bring?
Please bring a valid form of military or service identification. For U.S. service members this can be a CAC or DoD ID, a veteran or retiree ID, or your RIMPAC credential. International and coalition delegates may present their official RIMPAC credential, national military or service ID, or other official identification from their armed forces. Present it when you check in to redeem the free Gateway Buffet dinner. Your accompanying family and friends do not need military ID — the free dinner applies to your entire party.
-
Can I use my free dinner on another day?
The free Gateway Buffet dinner must be used the same day as your visit to the Islands of Polynesia and the HĀ: Breath of Life show. It cannot be saved or transferred to a different day. We know liberty windows are tight — our reservations team can help you find a day that fits your schedule during the RIMPAC period.
-
How does the day work?
Spend the afternoon exploring the Islands of Polynesia, enjoy your free dinner at the Gateway Buffet, then experience the HĀ: Breath of Life evening show — all in one easy visit. You cover the Islands and the show; dinner is on us. Plan to arrive in the afternoon so you have time for everything before the evening show.
