Wai Kai

Only reviewing the obstacle course and snack shop, as that is all we did at Wai Kai. The entire facility was new and well maintained. We went on a Friday for the 1000-100pm slot. Slots are in three hour groups (10am to 1pm, and 130-430pm) or an all day pass is available. Ample parking greated us and it was fairly empty so we had our choice of spots. Check in was quick and easy as I had purchased tickets online the day prior and completed the waiver forms. (Everyone has to have a waiver, parents sign for their kids.) The lady working the checkin was polite and helpful. We went from checkin to getting our life jackets. Wete fitted with jackets in under a minute, then had to watch a safety video that lasts 45 seconds or so. From there, it was into the water and onto the obstacles. There are many obstacles. Some you jump off of, some slides, some rope climbs, some hand hold climbs, dodgy pads, balance areas and more. If you have ever seen the TV show "Wipeout," this is a mini version of that. My kids and I loved it. We spent a solid 2.5 hours and were tired when we were done. The full day pass would have been too much for us, but if you've the desire and stamina, I say give it a spin. As we were early on a week day, the crowds were light but picked up after 1130ish. It can get a little crowded, will full size human beings all the way down to little ones, all operating in the same area. Be mindful of you have kids, and if you are full grown, be mindful of the people around you please. The water is a freshwater lagoon, animals live there so be prepared. This is not a nice, chlorinated pool so do not come expecting it. It is a lagoon, the water is what it is. Also, they do have a nice sign that discusses the wildlife that lives in the lagoon. We had a good time and learned a little, too. At 1pm, a horn blasts to let you know it is time to get out of the water. Everyone filed out and headed to the bank of showers. You can rinse off and they have individual tests where you can change. After changing, we headed back to the check in area. As we had rented a locker (which I recommend and it is only $5), I had to turn in the locker bracelet key. Easy enough and we headed over for food. Kids ordered shave ice and that was all we got. The food is a little on the pricey side, but as you cannot bring in your own food & drink, you either come already having eaten or you pay. I'll post pictures of the menus below. From what we saw, the food looked good and the shave ice was tasty. Seating is both indoor and out. Recommend buying tickets in advance, along with doing the waivers in advance. If you want a non-crowded day, I suggest the 1000-100pm slot on a weekday. They also have twilight sessions from 5-6pm for $15, which we might try in the future. Also suggest bringing sunscreen as you are out in the open all day. You can rent cabanas, but we did not. Highly recommend this place. Stretch and be ready to have some fun exercising!

We had an incredible time celebrating my nephew Keahi’s birthday! The day was filled with fun activities like enjoying a cabana, tackling an obstacle course, kayaking, and stand-up paddling. Huge thanks to Adam Muller and his team for their outstanding hospitality—we can’t wait to come back soon! The food was excellent, delivered right to our cabana, and we wrapped up the day with some delicious shave ice. 🍧 🌴🌊✨

The hostess brought us to the table, she said mention that the table had water on it because they had cups of water on the table, but she assured us the table was clean. We sat down thinking she was going to have some come by and wipe it, but she didn't. However, our waitress came and noticed the water on the table and asked if the hostess sat us down with the table being wet, I said, "Yes." She apologized and went to get a cloth to wipe the table. Other than the hostess, who needs more training. Our waitress was great, the food was good and the manager brought us a pizza on the house because of our waitress she gets a 5 star.

My husband and I had a blast doing the wave pool! We would definitely come back and do it again. Make sure you arrive early to your scheduled session and allow time to check in so you don’t miss out on any of your surf time. For lunch we went down and had a poke bowl for lunch! It was delicious
