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.

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!

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!

Other than that, just love all the watery fun at Aulani. I love that there are multiple life guards around each pool area, including the lazy river.

We had our sons birthday party here. The communication between the events team was good. Responded…read morequickly and answered whatever questions I had. My kiddo and his cousins enjoyed the pool area and they had a blast. I took off 2 stars because of how strict they were on time and what their policy is for events/parties. You're only allowed to stay the 3 hours. I asked if it was possible for us to stay the whole day, if we moved to a different area and they said no. The only way for you to stay the whole day was to purchase a day pass for an additional $20+ per person. As if the $500 we paid to have a party there wasnt enough. So ridiculous. 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.

It's just such a positive, family-friendly environment overall, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the facility and programs.

There's always a nice mix of people from all over the island who come to visit--many even call it the "Fruit Park" or "Apple Park."

The park is well maintained weekly through our community fees, and the trees here are amazing--the ulu provides food, and the puakenikeni blossoms are perfect for making lei. We've even been able to spread a few lauhala seeds, adding to the natural beauty. Konane Park is truly a gathering place that reflects the spirit of Ho'opili.
