Had a fun, relaxing experience. Parking was easy - open lot. Checkin was simple - helped by checking person, followed by filling out Waiver Form via Kiosk. Had lots of fun on the obstacle course, followed by lunch and relaxing on the lawn chairs, which were open to all. I don't recommend the fish and chips, if you're a fan of fish and chips. I prefer them to be crispy and juicy, so they fell short. A friend got the kalbi plate, which he was very happy with - came with rice, mac salad, and kim chee. I would return. Had a great time overcoming my fear of jumping off from high places. read more

I have tried to come to Wai Kai 3 times in the last two months. Reserved a 5pm surf session with a friend and got a call a few hours prior saying that we were the only people who are scheduled and canceling our session because we didn't have a minimum of 5 people. My daughter wanted to come to the obstacle course with her friends. We showed up at 4pm on a Friday, they said the girls can't swim because they close at 430pm. We decided to come back at 1:30pm the next day to arrive and be told the entire place is booked for a private event. Don't waste your time. Go beach. read more

I'm thinking back on my experience there n am still just wtf so let's just go from start to finish.... 1) Arrival 9am: 4 people sitting there with iPads and papers. Bunch of people arrive and instead of someone just having everyone stand in a line... no it's one worker helping one person, but then stops to help another, forgetting their assisting the first person n it just loops. Everyone waiting learned quickly what needed to be done and just told the workers what they needed to get through. **At no given time does any employee tell us what the packages r what the wristbands r or how just anything even works there** keep this in mind as u read... 2) your finally through! But wait...everything's closed till 12:30. Yes it's not a typo u read that right. 3) you get to ur spot tents up with zero shade. Ask me how... but you'd figure a business would work that out but no. Tied down tents like for parties, some fans around.... No.... 4) getting help: u ask a worker what's the protocol to jump in. Response: idk not my job.... 5) wing it: u go to the a life jacket place, guy looks at u, u look at him, awkward silence. It's like i was just better off going in grabbing a size that would fit and go. But wait! 6) course kiosk: before u jump on they ask u for a party. U say the party u say no, u say well it's under this wristband, they look at it as if it's an alien rock... rolling eyes, bad Attitude... must of got rejected from Hawaiian Air, I mean Alaska.... Idk what's worst.... 7) course: fun, could use a deep clean. Water looks sketch. Lifeguards on their phone behind the floaties. 8) so u pay to go in but everything is Ala cart and timed slots... claps to the chat gpt mba prompt manager. 9) u book a floating cabana... yet randos r just coming up on it as if its not paid for... yet their so strict on party names, wrist bands. 10) food: someone went to Safeway but all the microwaveable and baked pizza wings fries etc. that's what it is. Musubis... just don't.... The food place has about 5-6 workers doing nothing. But look how dirty it is.... 11) the new "store" is a closet of Ross brand rvca surf stuff This place needs new management esp new workers. This place can be amazing, so just get rid of the chat gpt MBA prompter director n someone with real experience n it'll be good read more

Wai Kai - Surf wave pool and overlook - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

Okay, so you're asking why would you go to a water park or lagoon when there's so many awesome beaches in Hawaii and Oahu. Well the simple answer is because we're all looking for something new and different to do once in a while with family and friends. And that exactly why we ended up at Wai Kai. It was a chance to hang out with our kids and friends before they returned to school after the winter break. The obstacle course was a ton of fun, we took advantage of the other water activities too, and we also opted to get a couple cabanas too so we could all hang out. It was perfect for our group of 20. Some of the restaurants were closed the day we went, but the takeout food at The Lookout was delicious. We also enjoyed some cold beverages too. BTW, the Nalo Lounge is a great option for $25/person if you want to store your belonging and take a shower before heading to your ext destination. For local families, take advantage of the kamaaina rates. The family is already excited about going back when the kids are back home this summer. read more

We had so much fun here! Ironically we were watching Wipeout on TV in the beginning of our trip and here we had our own Wipeout experience. We did the Aquaventure obstacle course and had a blast! You will fall, slip, and be humbled real fast. You need to wear a life vest and there are lifeguards watching. If the obstacle course is not your thing, there is a simulated surf experience or you can kayak, paddle board, or go on their aqua bike. read more

I was sent out to this place called - "Wai Kai" for work, and as I headed down to the Ewa Beach area, I originally thought I was going to a Golf Club, because "Wai Kai" sure sounded like one of those fancy schmancy golf clubs! Lol! Little did I know, as I approached the property, I realized I wasn't heading to a golf club, but I was actually going to a surf water park. Lol! It was rather slow the day I arrived, I guess because school is already back in session out here in da 808, so all I saw were a few tourists on the property. Wai Kai has an array of fun packages where you can rental a cabana & enjoy your day at the park. There is a man made Lagoon, perfect for water activities like - stand-up padding, kayaking, or even doing the water obstacle course. If your hungry,I noticed there were a few food vendors on the property, as well as a restaurant. The property looks like a great place to hold parties, as park is pretty spacious & clean. If your into surfing, there is a man-made surf park on the property, but you will probably have to see what the rates are to use the surf pool. Overall a really nice property, and you you love water sports, this is the perfect place to check out. read more

Very fun atmosphere! Great pricing too. We got there at 10 AM and there were plenty of spots still available on the beach. I didn't think it was too crowded either. All of the water activities are very fun and they seem nice and well maintained too. We just did the two inflatable "obstacle courses" and had a blast! Lots of diving platforms, slides, and places to climb around. It was very easy to spend the full three hours in the water. A lot of people complain about the lifejackets that you were required to wear, but I actually was very grateful for it! It made it so I didn't really have to work hard on treading water when I was in the water and I did not get as exhausted as I otherwise would have! We also did the farmers market on Thursday afternoon and it was great! Lots of delicious food truck vendors, plenty of outdoor seating, good prices, plenty of parking too. Overall, a very fun way to spend a day on the island! TIPS & TRICKS: * Be sure to check out all of the fun places to eat!! * We brought waterproof phone cases that we swam with, but there are spots you can reserve a locker. * The big slide is so fun! It took me a while to get the courage to jump, but once I did, it was awesome!! read more

Wai Kai is not a good venue to hold large community events. Went to the Summer Market by Mini Market Collective today. We purposely went on time for parking. Drove down Keoneula Blvd @12 only to snail our way down the road. Took us 45 minutes to reach just 1person directing 2 lanes of traffic right @the Hoakalei Country Club..like seriously..‍‍ Then you get to the Wai Kai lawn, they packed in approx 90+ vendor's on their lawn. From 12-4pm, the Ewa Beach scorching sun, packed with people..it was horrible. No room to line up for food, too crowded and too hot to look at merchandise that all eventually looks the same....I'm sorry this was a BUST for me..never again. read more

Amazing relaxing place with water fun activities for the young and young once. Place is well maintained and with restaurants , good food and hospitable staffs. Had wonderful sunset with my family.

This is a really nice place for concerts. I'd come here ALL the time if they held concerts here frequently BUT... ONLY IF they're clear about the PARKING situation and leniency on the food for the little ones!!! Otherwise, this was a HARD travel. First night was AWESOME! But second night they tightened up on the venue, Changed The parking situation and then made it much more harder for parents with keikis! read more

We have gone to Wai Kai a few times, this was our 2nd time to the Food Truck Thursday evening event. Really enjoyed the location for it. Food trucks set around outside and crafts and market in middle row within the parking lot. The large grassy space was ideal for taking your food with you to sit on provided Mats. We brought chairs. There so many food choices it was hard to decide. We settled two different types of paella split orders from Santi's Paella. Both types were hardy and so Ono, feeding us both with one meal. After filling up on Paella, we found space for a dessert from Hit the Spot Sweets. We built our own with mini slapjacks, bananas, strawberries, whip cream and drizzle of chocolate. By this time we were busting at the seams. The early evening turned to night with beautiful soft colors in the sky and lights from Wai Kai with DJ blaring oldies in the background. Such an ideal way to spend an evening. read more

A fun beach getaway if you don't want to fight the traffic to the North Shore or Waikiki. No issues parking, tons of parking. They have a dedicated parking lot. Lifeguards were attentive and made sure that everyone was following the rules, and the staff were very personable. I loved the obstacle course. We did the 3 hours and it was just perfect. It was like its own workout because if you fall in, you will have to lift yourself out or get help from a buddy. Even if you are coordinated, you will get wet. But it was superduper sunny. Make sure you bring sunscreen and reapply often. They have an adult course and a kids course. The kids course start as early as four and life vests are included, so everyone can enjoy regardless of skill level. The cafe had really good food. We enjoyed the chili and cheese nachos. The local drinks seem kind of expensive, but everything else seemed reasonable given today's prices for a takeout lunch. I didn't get to try the wave pool because it was closed for a private event, but it looked super cool. Would definitely come again! Don't forget to check their website for discounts. read more

This place really thought out stuff really well. The whole check-in process was easy even though I didn't really know what I was doing. It was easy to see the signs and just follow along what other people were doing. The lifeguards were really helpful. I never felt unsafe. I left my kids to run around on their own and they had a blast. Definitely would come back again. Totally worth the price read more

What a fun place. We found WaI Kai because there was an ad playing on Hawaiian Airlines as we were landing. Our family had a great time here. The 3 hour pass is plenty of time. If you have older kids, I recommend getting the 2 park pass for the peaks and aqua adventure. It's not just an obstacle course, but lots of slides and things to jump off of. We went on a weekday when it wasn't busy, but I could only imagine what this place is like on a busy day. There is not a lot of shade for people that are just watching. So, get there early for a table or lawn chair. The food is decent and decent prices for kids meals as well. Barrett was our server/bartender and he was so nice and helpful. Overall, we had a great time. Tip: Bring water bottles full of ice and you can refill them with water at the drinking fountain. read more

This was a fun place to walk around and enjoy the Farmers Market. It was good that this side of the island was dry. Because back in Honolulu it was raining. It was fun and relaxing to get food either at the farmers' market and/or at the food trucks. It was also enjoyable to sit on the lawn and people watch. The backdrop was gorgeous. My wife and I enjoyed watching some people surf. read more

We celebrated my daughter's 12th birthday at Wai Kai and it was everything we hoped for and more! We booked the 10am-1pm AquaBana Mega Lounger, invited a bunch of her friends, and had the ultimate birthday bash on the water. The inflatable obstacle course was a total hit--the kids (and adults ) had a blast. The AquaBana gave us the perfect shady lounge space to relax, eat, and reset between runs. Super comfy, surprisingly spacious, and honestly felt a little VIP. We even tried the fish spa experience in the lagoon... weird but cool! The staff were friendly, facilities were spotless, and everything was really well organized. A few of us were already talking about coming back before we even left. Pro tip:b ring water, and someone with energy--your kids will tire you out! Wai Kai was the perfect mix of fun, chill, and "mom nailed it" energy. Highly recommend for parties, friend hangs, or just treating yourself to a good time on the water read more

it is expensive to surf here but, it's still fun and you're up vs. having to fight for waves. They have time limits on the bulk session. It wasn't like this before so this is a warning. If they're able to drop the prices some and have more flexibility on the bulk session durations I think they'll get more business. read more

Aquaventure review & deets~ Keiki Course- Ages 4-6 years old and adult supervision is required. It's a small course.. Aloha Course- Ages 7+. Tons of obstacles, jumping platforms, and helpful stairs to get back up onto the floating course throughout. Waterfront cabana- So worth it!! I'm so glad we booked the last cabana because boy was it hot. There were some umbrellas over the beach lawn chairs which were free but they seemed to have been taken before 10! Lockers were $5 each. There is also a transportation option to and from your hotel. Life jackets are required no matter how good of a swimmer you are. They close the course twice for breaks during the 10am-4pm session. It's about 30mins long. There were multiple lifeguards stationed around and throughout the course. I called Wednesday and a kind lady picked up and helped answer my questions. If you're a local, make sure to sign up for the Kamaaina membership ID! Also, when planning and gathering those who RSVP'd, call to ensure they have availability if you have a date set in mind. Sometimes they sell out. We celebrated my son's birthday here with his football friends. The boys had a blast! We picked up lunch & desserts at the Boardwalk Cafe. Time seemed to have flown by and I'm so glad we opted for the 10-4pm session instead of the sunset session 4-6pm. The music was bumping, vibes were great and the weather was perfect, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Hubby and I are already planning our next visit. If there was a con, I would probably have to say the green water. It wasn't as stink as I had imagined on the day we went, but up close, it did have a smell..like rotten eggs.. My aunty said there is a free boat on Thursdays where they inform you about the water filtering in and out, if you're concerned. We'll probably swing by as there are night markets here on Thursdays. read more

The AquaVenture Park obstacle course fun as an adult -- for about 20 minutes and then I was done. The kids were able to go for hours, but I will say that it grew more and more crowded as the day went on. In the afternoon, there were some very rough older kids who were being very aggressive with a group of nine and 10-year-olds. When we complained to the lifeguards, they talked to them briefly, but really didn't do anything, and it was clear that the lifeguards were paying no attention to what was going on whatsoever. Furthermore, I do not understand how you can have a water activity oriented place that has bathrooms but no changing room so that you end up with these huge lines for the bathroom because everybody is using the bathrooms to change?! It seems really obvious and like something that these guys should get on fixing right away. read more

We had an amazing time at Wai Kai! The Aquaventure is absolutely worth the price, especially if you're old enough to enjoy the full obstacle course. Make sure to get there before the first break at 12-12:30 to maximize your time. They have two 30-minute breaks from 12-12:30 and 2-2:30. I highly recommend visiting on a weekday to avoid the crowds. I've heard weekends can get so busy that kids have to wait for life jackets--imagine paying $30-$40 just for your kid to wait around half the day! The boardwalk cafe is fantastic with great food at reasonable prices. Although I was shocked that the shave ice is $8, I still wanted to buy two because of how hot it was and how refreshing I knew the shave ice would be. It's the perfect spot for both locals and tourists, and well worth visiting over and over and over again. Next time my husband and I come around, we'll be taking pre-workout and drinking a protein shake because man, that was a workout! Falling will occur, but it's a lot of fun. I suggest bringing a group because it's the craziest game of tag you could play! Don't forget to stop by their Thursday night markets with the most and best local grinds that the west side can offer. Do I think it's better than a waterpark? Honestly, yes. Especially for the price and the simplicity! Overall, Wai Kai is a must-visit! We'll definitely be back. read more

Hands down the best physical activity on the island for the whole family! Such a wonderful atmosphere and all the employees seem pretty happy. It's good that they added this to the west side of the island, added more jobs and gave some people a fun thing to do. We had a nice drink at the lookout restaurant and watched the surfers try the wave pool. They have pizza you can take out as well for the kids. The time to come is at opening, it's empty and you'll have the whole place to yourselves until about 11am. It can get chilly if the wind picks up, my friend used a spring wetsuit when she goes and it's a smart idea. Everyone going to the obstacle course needs to wear a life jacket as well. I forget how fun it is to just wear a life jacket and just float around, I honestly could have done that all day. It should really be an added attraction, just float. Have a fun time and remember, take it easy! You will injure yourself. It's so funny seeing people slip and slide, it's the best thing. Be safe and respect everyone's space and tip well! read more

I was a loyal customer until their service starting going downhill. Purchased a 10 session surf package in 2024- i was told upon purchase it did not have an expiration date but they changed the system and now they do. One Manager (Valerie) gave me one month to use it all or the rest of the sessions will be automatically be lost and non-refundable. I asked for a two months extension since I've had several knee procedures and need to space it out but this request was denied. Even after I told them I can provide medical documentation. I used to go their almost weekly and even brought friends but now I completely stopped. I'm hoping they improve customer service so they won't be closing down in the near future. read more

Wai Kai has a lot of fun activities! That is undeniable! BUT PLEASE READ!!! If you sign up for Surf sessions and a class.. You can be canceled right there on the spot.. or they can call you the night before and say its canceled if they dont have a minimum of 4 ppl per class. There are no consequences on their end if they cancel you within 24 hrs. But they can charge you the full amount if you cancel within 24 hrs on your end. Its best to call in the late afternoon the day before or the day of and see how much ppl are signed up at the time because that sucks to make plans and have your class canceled. read more

Great place for family fun for all ages. My family booked the Aqua Venture which is basically a huge inflatable obstacle course on the water. They had a separate section for the smaller kiddos. You need a ticket for the Aqua Venture but if you just want to watch there are tables near the restaurant without paying for a tix. In order to chill by the sand you do require a ticket/band which really didn't seem enforced. There's a coffee shop with snacks and cocktails and a restaurant so you do have options for food. They have a really cool wave pool as well. read more

Just like anything else.. It's what you make of it. I never thought I would visit mainly because I'm not big on waterparks.. especially waterparks in murky water but my Brother had invited us and I'm glad we had the opportunity, If able, I'd definitely reserve a Cabana!! Even if you are able to get a lawn chair with an umbrella, you will fry! We lucked out and was able to reserve one last minute for about 4 hours on a Saturday. There is a smaller area for the keiki but with the Parents trying to spend time and supervise the younger ones, the pathway to get to the rest of the obstacle course can get obstructed, not a big deal. Some of the older kids are a$$holes. straight up. It's mixing a lot of different age groups and people. A Teenage boy came walking out of a course b/c another boy tried to swing at him.. ruined the whole vibe. Lifeguards are posted up but still, it can be a bit chaotic and overwhelming. The Lookout Restaurant was good, they had to close early so we didn't spend too much time there. Just enough to scarf our burgers down and get back in the water, Overall we did have a great time. I'm not sure if It was enough to make me a regular but I'm glad the community has this in their Neighborhood. read more

So much fun. Better to go during the week, barely anyone around. They have half day or full day options for the inflatable obstacle course. The day is from 10 am - 4:30, but the course is closed on Tuesday & Wednesday. Life jackets are required in the water. My friend and I know how to swim but having the jackets was a relief. Didn't have to waste energy swimming to back to the step. read more

So we traveled there from another island and couldn't wait to come play and visit. We had planned to go Tuesday but they weren't open so we had to 1- pay extra to change our tickets and 2- pay extra to change our rental car. To make this all happen. So we REALLY wanted to go!! We went with the basic entry and then my child wanted to do the surf rider and they wouldn't add it on for almost two more hours by then we were leaving. Our youngest only was allowed on the splash pad it was dark gloomy and nothing for her to do- I would STRONGLY recommend them update this for fun for little kids. Every time we got in the water we were all gagging and the water stank so bad. Half of us ended up with an eye infection or something/ maybe coincidence maybe not. Over all the obstacle course was challenging way more challenging than I thought it would be, which is a good thing if you're up for an adventure. The large, big gray slide was the best. read more

What a cool place... Wai Kai is a place I was really curious to visit and what better time to spend it than with my bestie's mom since staying in Ewa than to do a short drive to this amazing location she kept asking if we were still in Ewa lol! This super extensive piece of land that only just a fraction is being used has a great start of an idea to create an area for most which is quite an experience. The main level is the attraction "The Lineup" with two channels 30ft and 65ft is a spectacular vision that can be viewed just almost every angle is a sight to see as they surf using the provided surfboard or body board as well and it's open for all skill levels. Surrounded by umbrella shaded tables and with a bar nearby you're able to chill as you watch your loved ones or others ride the waves, food is available at The Lookout that's right above The Lineup giving it's obvious name. On the lower level is the Wai Kai Lagoon where I see some stand up paddling, kayak equipment and even a few paddling out in a swan vessel looks like such a serene way to enjoy the fabulous water views Ewa has to offer and in the midst of that are a few floating cabanas but apparently the site states they have so much more fun items for use this it's amazing! Along with my bestie's mom we were just at awe of it all and wished that her family had found out about this place earlier as it would be a great option for everyone to find their place here to relax, enjoy and have fun. Lots of parking and will definitely be back as every Thursday night they have a Farmers Market with a bunch of local vendors making this place a environment to celebrate all things local. Thank you! read more

My son decided he wanted to go here for his birthday with cousins and family. We did the obstacle courses! Calling was extremely helpful, they were so accommodating to our party and all my questions, and helped secure best pricing with Kama'aina and monthly membership discounts. Much cheaper than I expected and (and unexpected for the value!) Most of the kids were 7+ so they were able to enjoy the larger course..we also got a water-front cabana which was so worth it to just be able to sit in the shade for water or food and sunscreen. Tons of parking and easy to get down to the check-in area (make sure you fill out your waiver ahead of time--this saved us!) They also have large screens there to fill out in case any of your party didn't do beforehand. The course opened promptly at 10, and everyone can line up to get life jackets a bit beforehand. After getting your lifejacket, (all different sizes even for little ones!) there's another brief check-in, a video and someone explains the rules of the obstacle course. Then it's freedom! Even just running (or walking) on the course you will probably fall on the course or into the water--so leave valuables in a rentable locker or somewhere safe. A lifeguard said a lot of people lose phones, glasses etc. We had a few younger kiddos who had to stay on the 4-6yr course..which I was nervous would make them jealous they couldn't get on the bigger one but it was just enough for them. (If anything, I'd add some more longer running areas for the little guys too) but because it was attached to the bigger course, you could easily spot your kiddos (and adults) doing the bigger course while still being able to watch the little guys. Our 10 year old kiddos did not need an adult supervision, but anyone under 10, an adult is required on the course for every 4 children . The younger course requires an adult for each child. They will offer you a discount for an adult ticket if you are only going to be on smaller course. While on the bigger course, there was an injury (someone hurt their shoulder jumping off a high apparatus). As soon as it was a problem, the lifeguards were QUICK! They blew whistles and had everyone sit quietly on the course (they did this in record time!) Another lifeguard came up in a boat to grab the injured person, we all clapped and it was back to fun. As a parent, really helpful to see how aware all lifeguards were and how they really looked over the areas really well. The lifeguards were all so friendly and helpful. They definitely let the kids play as they should, but were quick to blow the whistle to any kids going out of bounds or in an area they shouldn't be. We finished our reservation block (10am-1pm) and it was the perfect amount for the ages we had...we got delicious popsicles from the bar area and all in all had an epic day, and he said it was the best birthday ever We will be back again soon, thank you so much for such a fun day Wai Kai! read more

After shopping at Waikele, we decided to check out Oahu's newest attraction before heading back to the city to blow even more money. EXPERIENCE: A tad off the beaten path, in an area of Ewa Beach that's in its infancy of development sits this oceanfront park. No fees to park or enter. The looming building that greets you houses The Lookout (one of three restaurants on the property and where we had a lunchtime toot) with the wave pool and its mechanics below, along with an outdoor bar and wave poolside seating. Off in the distance are the other two restaurants, Kitchen Door and underneath it, Boardwalk Cafe. The Sessions gift shop is next door and is where you register for the park's activities. Below that sits Nalo Kai Club, an air conditioned lounge with locker rooms & showers. Rentals of pedal boards, kayaks, standup paddle boards and inflatable "cabanas" that sport booth-style seating and a table are available for use on their man-made lagoon, complete with a small private sandy beach. For land lovers, you can rent beach chairs and cabanas. On this particular Saturday, there were a few souls in the wave pool surfing, body boarding and taking surf lessons, a handful at Kitchen Door and Boardwalk Cafe, no one on the beach, one person in the lagoon, with the majority at The Lookout. Not very busy on a weekend so hopefully they can flourish. OVERALL: Very nice digs. Definitely would return for the eateries. read more

Spontaneously we stopped by for some brunch. I've been hearing about great things about this place, that we had to give it a shot. I'm so happy we did! The young lady at the register was very nice and sweet! Since it was our first time, she gave us some suggestions. We ordered the mochi pancakes and avocado toast. The pancakes were huge and fluffy! I would give them a 7/10. I give that because there's another place in town that has my favorite mochi pancakes. lol But the avocado toast? Bomb!! I'm coming back just for that and to try the fish and chips. I enjoyed that we were able to enjoy our meal outside. This place was great and we will be coming back! read more

Ate at the cafe by the water park and also at The Lookout. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. We are planning to go back again. Highly recommend. read more
