My family and I did a day of Rainbow Reef while we stayed at Aulani. It was cool that the resort…read morehas its own manmade reef with local fish for people to swim with and see. We went in July and we paid $30 each for the day of rainbow reef. Once you pay, you can come and go throughout the open hours (10am-3pm). You don't need a specific time slot. You go to the booth and they give you equipment to use (snorkel mask, breathing tube, and life vest). You then shower off and head into the reef. The water of the reef is 76 degrees, which actually felt pretty chilly, but you get used to the temperature pretty quickly. I did notice a lot of kiddos didn't want to go in because it was too cold for them. My niece was crying because of the cold, but the employees all went over and beyond to make her feel comfortable and help her. She ended up doing a lap in the reef and then heading to the jacuzzi lol The rainbow reef was cool, but we felt that $30 each for the day was pretty pricy. We only swam once and felt like we checked the box.

This is an awesome experience if you want to swim with the fish, but stay away from the sand at the…read morebeach... Not that I think most people coming here would want to stay away from the sand, but then again there are some who may want to. Or even if you're not afraid of the sand and you don't mind to get Sandy... This is still a great place to go because it's a small controlled environment where children of all ages can essentially get in the water and they are able to get right up close to the fish and have a great experience seeing all kinds of wonderful tropical fish. There's no need to swim and the experience is fantastic! My kids and wife and I really enjoyed it and we paid for the full experience for the entire length of our stay which means you can go each day during the hours that the location is open for as long as you want to stay! There is also an option to feed the fish and we did that one day of our stay too!

There is also a little "hot tub" to relax in as well. There are also cabanas that you can relax under if it gets too sunny or rains. There is no lifeguard but there was a security guard walking around making sure all the children stay safe. Overall, very nice swimming pool area for families that live around the area in Kapolei.

This pool is huge! It has diving boards at the deep end. It also has a slide in the 4'5" depth. You can't beat it for the price. The lifeguards have always been nice. The bathroom, shower, and changing area is clean. I left my cellphone and sunglasses and they called me and stayed a couple minutes after for me to come and pick it up.

Surely the lazy river or the one of many pools is clearly the draw though I find this bridge really cute for the adventurous ones as being up high you get the birds eye view of this vast landscape and is a place where the little ones can explore at their leisure if swimming isn't their thing the pool portion is pretty shallow to dip your feet keeping it cool and still make a splash. I think it's a great introduction or starter place with for the little ones with the slides but here at Aulani does give many options to satisfy and cool off without worry as you can watch your kids with chairs just steps away the Menehune Bridge, which is like a fun little playground and a place to keep cool and have fun! Thank you!

After all, this is only a very small portion of the pool area at Aulani; I find it surprising that…read moreit even has a listing on Yelp. There isn't really anything to comment on, but given how much I adore Aulani and the Menehune motif, I will.

I love this pool because, if I'm not mistaken, it is salt water to some extent. I love salt water…read morepools. For laps, I love the Patsy Mink/Veteran's pool in Waipio, but for kids play, this pool is convenient and more than sufficient with its 2 shallow areas and area for diving and jumping, in the deep section of the pool. Suggestion: even if it is salt water, it would be best to have googles as the water burns the eyes quickly. It is the ideal spot for a birthday party with the big park available next to it, but what is inconvenient is that this pool is not consistently open. You have to check. With the government the way it is, I'm just glad it is still open but I check before going. Also, if there are parties at the park, like this weekend, those parties can cause the pool to get pretty full as it is a pretty small pool. No one got hurt though so that works. There is usually an abundance of parking available, even with the parties at the park, and I found that all of the life guards are pretty alert and yet respectful in their approach to correcting dangerous behavior. The showers can be a bit cold, but I have found that overall, the water of the pool is warmer then most. Even on those empty days without all those bodies in the water, distributing their heat and, um, maybe other heating elements. lol I'm not sure but it could be heated. Put on your sunscreen and sunglasses because even though free swim is usually between 3:15 and 5, it can be sunny! Oh, just in case you were wondering, on weekdays there are usually 2 lanes open for lap swim and it usually is empty. I don't believe there is lap swim on weekends. Happy Swimming!

Not to make it sound any less attractive Wailana Pool is a bit more hidden tucked in the corner beside 'Ulu Cafe, some introverts like me just want to shy away from the crowd and keep my cool right here. Right beside Wailana Pool is Poolside Dining which offers a wide variety menu options including a full tropical cocktail that got me to loosen to mood and it was "Tropical Itch" and what a great sip to chill under a seated umbrella by the pool to absolutely relax and decompress my load. Cheers to my bestie Nadine who thoughtfully got me a vacay gift of a super cute and very handy travel bag filled with accessories to get me started which I haven't done a thing yet so this is totally spectacular and will go to great use which I appreciate bestie thank you!

Balance Rock is a historical landmark located at Pohaku Lana'i in Haleiwa, HI. This ancient Hawaiian site for God worship was recently visited by world-famous Japanese baseball great Shohei Ohtani who came to see it because it is known for its "big energy". On a recent visit, it was easy to feel the aura of peace surrounding the unusual natural rock configuration that appears to balance one large rock on top of another. Pohaku Lana'i offers plenty of parking for easy access to the grassy park area where the Balance Rock is located. Close to the ocean, the park is a comfortable place for people to gather, enjoy the beach, and restroom facilities are available as well. Yelp でポハクラナイが検索できなかったので、バランスロックが存在する場所を探してようやく此処に辿り着く事が出来た。 大谷翔平効果で一躍有名になったバランスロックは特に日本人の間でブームなのかも知れない。 この古代ハワイの神崇拝サイトは、その「大きなエネルギー」で知られており、世界的に有名な日本人の偉大なベースボールプレーヤー大谷翔平が訪れた事で一躍注目を浴びる事となったのです。 最近私達が訪問した時も、大きな岩を別の岩の上に、まるで人工的にバランス良く設置したように見える珍しい岩の周りには、とても安定した平和のオーラを容易に感じ取る事が出来ました。 ポハク・ラナイには、バランス・ロックがある芝生の公園エリアに簡単にアクセスできる十分な駐車場があります。海に近い公園は、人々が集まり、ビーチを楽しむのに快適な場所であり、トイレ施設も利用出来るので是非ハワイ訪問の際には此処に来て大きなエネルギーを感じ取ってください！

There are clean bathrooms and showers. There are BBQ areas and campground. There are several picnic tables, mostly shaded. I see people surfing and fishing here but have honestly never swam. I have spotted several turtles here. The park is located Haleiwa on Haleiwa Beach road, right next to Haleiwa Elementary School and is a great place to picnic at.
