    I want to say right off the bat, MOVE THE SMOKING AREA. Seriously you guys. How can you put the "designed smoking area" right in the main hub next to the bar. The smoke was going right into the flow rider with children. Please make you cigarette smoking guests go into the parking lot! I live in Sonoma County and recovering from cancer. We have smoking bans in ALL public places. It is ultimately disrespectful to your other paying guests. PARKING LOT!!!! Wet and Wild was definitely the highlight of my son's vacation to the island, besides shark diving in the Northshore. There are so many attractions. Huge slides, wave pools. Areas for tots. Flow riders and more. There is a cute gift shop and cabanas to rent. You do have to pay to park, unless you get a season pass. I highly recommend just buying a season pass. Pays for itself. Safe locker area for your valuables. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I would have easily given this place a 5 star rating but having my child and I inhale someone else's 2nd hand smoke against our will was an automatic 2 star deduction. Move it to the parking lot! Otherwise, 5 star from me. We loved everything else here.

    Almost seems counter intuitive, right? A water park in Hawai'i. But chance favors the bold and though I'm still not sure (business wise) if it was a success, as a three year running, season pass holder: it makes sense. The park is manned by a staff of mostly teen to young adults and that adds to the atmosphere. Though, I'd probably train them to engage the guests a bit more. Were I in charge of the guest experience, I'd impress upon them that their interactions with the guests will be the reason the guests enjoy themselves and stress how important that is. But nonetheless, the atmosphere never gets old. Bright vibrant colors. Open air. The smell of chlorine. All of it is part of the Waterpark experience, and even though food is expensive I will say that what I've tried has at least left me feeling like I got my moneys worth. Good portion and delicious! In these past few years they've really pushed season pass ownership, and they've created a good system that allows it to be wildly affordable! So if you take anything away from this post, consider this. If you plan to visit the park more than once, just get the annual pass and choose the payment plan. It'll be a painless fee for the next few months and it will have been worth the spend. Just trust me on that. An experience that kids will absolutely love!

    We purchased the Kahuna season pass for $59 when they had a new year special. The pass comes with a free refillable cup ($4 for soda refills, discounts on cabana rentals, free flo rider, free tickets in certain months, and free parking. For my family of four, we determined that we just need to go every month to make up the cost of the tickets to cover just the parking! Which is $20 if you purchase it in person when you get there! The water park has a handful of slides that in January are on rotating schedules. So the one you want to ride on may be closed during part of the day. They also have a ride that is shut down currently. There are two kids areas, one for littles and the other for bigger kids. The height your kid needs to be is at least 42 inches to ride a water slide outside of the Keiki area. There are only two slides and for some reason we always come when only one is open. The next height requirement is 48". So if you have little ones who like to play in the kids area or swim in the wave pool it's ok. January is cold (yes the water is COLD) so I recommend the summer time at least for warmer waters and open rides. The food is ok, but expensive. And they don't let you bring outside food, just water jugs like yeti or Stanley. But you can go out to your and have a picnic in the parking lot and come back in so that is a way to save money! If you are kamaaina and plan to visit more than 3 times in a year, the annual membership is a must!

    This place is a scam! Promo email says "BRING A FRIEND FOR JUST $9.99 -- WEEKDAYS 'TIL JULY 31 You've got the pass. Now roll deep. Starting today, hook up your crew with $9.99 tickets valid any weekday through July 31!" We setup a part to bring family but the link they provide doesn't send you to the special but instead the standard ticket page. There's no way to purchase the special so we end up having to pay full price for so many of our guest because we already made the arrangements. This is the las time we're going to Wet n Wild! Do not go to this overpriced scam of an attraction!!!

    Fan that doesn't work

    Parking lot: it's pretty huge. If you have the kahuna or gold pass parking is free but if not you'll have to pay $20 Place: So we decided to go here I believe on a holiday & my dad rented out a cabana that was $320 & to be honest it was not worth it. Don't get me wrong it's a nice view we had of the wave pool & we were infront of the screen playing a movie. It was a pretty hot day. We had breeze here & there but my son that's 10 months was a bit sweating. Come to find out the fan doesn't work at all(the employee said it's not working) wow really? & the picture shown that it supposed to have the curtain screens but no none of that too. Food:We got a cooler that had I believe 4 waters & a small container of fruits.When we ordered food tell me why when it got to us it was cold. The foods pricey but don't offer to have us order from the cabana if the food is gonna come cold & the drinks the ice was almost gone. It had so much flys flying around that if they had that screen curtain that would have help a whole lot. The renovation they did on the pool that had the lily pads & the big green slide is a BIG down. That around is just sad. The deepest is ankle. Should've kept the old one.

    Ask the Community - Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii

    Is there free seating available or are there only rentals to be purchased to sit at? Gunna be going with a toddler and 2 older kids this will be our first time....any tips?

    There is free seating all throughout the park. You can upgrade and rent a cabana by tue wave pool

    Can we bring in water bottles?

    Yes. And that includes hydroflasks. But it can only be filled with water (and ice)

    What is the locker type? Is it a key with a one time access or multiple access for a one time fee?

    Unlimited access for a one time fee daily. Requires a 4 digit pin.

    What's the water temperature? I ask because the pools at our hotel are cold and I'm not sure if it's a Hawaii thing.

    The water is cool to cold depending on depth. No heated water.

    Can you bring in a hydro flask with water in it?

    The official stance is: you can bring a hydro flask but it has to be empty (you can fill it at one of the fountains).… 

    Do we need proof of negative covid test or vaccination to enter?

    No only if you wanna buy food from the food court.

    When is the lazy river be open again?

    It's open again. They open it every now and then. We've been there a few times already and it's been open for a short period.

    Can we bring in small coolers and beach wagons? Mahalo!

    You cannot being outside food nor drinks. Exception is water bottle (you are allowed).

    Can you bring balloons and decorate your cabana? Wanted to do an intimate birthday party for 10...assuming we go into tier 3 soon on Oahu.

    We did not too long ago (sept. 2020) and again in oct 2020 and they didnt give us any issue. They even complemented our decorations. Hope this helps. ^_^

    Anyone know if we can bring in a stroller or wagon for my 2 yr old granddaughter?

    Yes you can we do both all the time ^_^

    Trying to find birthday package info, do they allow you to bring a cake?

    Yes, in past years they always allowed us to bring a cake and even refrigerated it for us if necessary. I hope this policy has not changed due to Covid!

    Are there slides for smaller toddlers?

    Yes, there are! There's a keiki cove and about 3 slides just for toddlers! We stayed there the whole time. Hahaha

    If a parent is not going to swim or ride do they have to pay?

    Yes, everyone has to pay to enter the park.

    Can I bring a small cooler for my one year old that drinks milk?

    Yes you can bring in milk for your 1 year old. I have a one-year old myself and I had snacks and a bottle of water for him and they let me through. This is good info as of 4/24/19.

Plus the pizza we ordered through them wasnt the greatest too. $32 for 16 slices of pizzas and it tasted salty to me. The amount they charge for food is actually pricey too.

From the moment you walk in from the entrance to the main hall the towering ceiling above gives you a sense of grandeur and Hawaiian pride. Though everything has the Disney touch to it, the culture and mana of the islands feel like they've settled on the grounds. It helps when the community plays a big part in activities and decisions made for the operations. Aulani is a large employer of Hawaiians of course, but it feels like the culture is also respected in regards to their day-to-day operations. From monthly events showcasing different hālau hula to storytelling to the keiki (children) about Polynesian culture, Aulani feels like they respect the land and the people. All that being said, the property itself is wonderful. Having a lazy river, their own cove into the ocean, large towers overlooking the island, several restaurants on property, easy fast casual dining options, plenty of pools, and proximity to Monkeypod across the street, many people who visit never step foot outside the resort for good reason. The property is so self sustaining you can really enjoy "your rent" haha. Though Aulani is never the only destination when visiting Oahu, it is a trip worth taking when you want the distinct experiences of Disney and Polynesian hospitality mixed together. A truly fun family space, if you're in Oahu and looking for the above sentiment, there's no reason not to visit.

It's OK. We found a restaurant way better we're not gonna be spending any money at this hotel. Honestly, it's a bad experience, overpriced overpaid. The rooms are basic. It's like a hotel in Las Vegas like the circa. I don't recommend this not $1000 a night. Having to make reservations for food at a kids friendly hotel is crazy. What kids do you know that eat on a time schedule they're hungry when they're hungry. You guys lose money on this one thank you. Island vintage coffee shop for the great food. They have a Keurig coffee maker inside of the room with cups and everything but the downfall to that is your coffee taste like plastic and paper cup. It's a really bad idea. Honestly, the hotel is nice. It's a basic standard room that you would see in any other resort style hotel style complex overrated overpriced overplayed too many rules coming from somebody that lives on the island I will not be recommending this place. The most standard rooms I've ever seen though no bath robes you're paying $1000 a night. You can stay at a way nicer hotel for that price and get so many more amenities.

I recently saw Gryffin and subtronics and the production for both shows was amazing. It surrounded by these big rocks that they put projections on, and the whole sound and visual effects are so cool. They even do sets right at the wave pool, so you can be floating and listening to music! I did not go in the wave pool, but it looked like fun. During these shows, they even have some of the waterslides going. With tons of staff and lifeguards, of course. I will say that parking is so expensive at around $40 per car and if you don't leave before the crowds leave after the last set, expect to be sitting in your car for an hour before getting out of the parking lot. Security is pretty tight too. All bags are checked, metal detectors, and if you're wearing boots- you'll have to take them off and shake them out before entering. For the subtronics show, we got our tickets off of stubhub and when they scanned it- it showed that our tickets were scanned an hour ago. So, we had to buy tickets on the spot and then report it to stubhub. Not their fault, but a warning to everyone else. Glad that we were able to still buy tickers there, but beware and get tickets directly from their website.

A splash park or Hawaiian cultural activities could add to the experience while staying true to their mission. As a kamaʻāina, admission was $25 per person. Some may feel that's expensive for a smaller park, but I left feeling like my ticket was supporting a worthwhile cause.

I took an embarrassing number of sunset pictures and regret none of them. The beaches here are amazing, and N and I walked every single day.

However, the resort pricing overall food value was disappointing. At check-in guest are giving a discount card for 10% of Off at the Market and certain resort locations, which is appreciated. However, if you forget the card in your room while heading to the pool or Beach, you were simply out of luck since purchases can be charged directly to the room, it seems like the discount should automatically apply to the guest account instead of requiring a physical card. The 10% discount definitely helps because Hawaii is already expensive but the price is at the market and eateries felt excessive. For example we had 6 drinks and two orders of fish and chips at Long boards and the bill was $171. Unfortunately food felt like it mediocre pub food, which made the cost even harder to justify. Overall, we love the beauty of Ko Olina and the warmth of the people, but the resort pricing felt comparable to Disney without the food quality or value to match.
