Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park

Yeee-hah! Get wet and wild down a seven-story, high-speed slide; splashing rapids, mega wave pool and more. All this swirling, churning, bubbling activity is at Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park.

Oahu’s newest amusement center covers over 25 acres—one of the largest family water parks in the world—and keeps the whole gang thrilled to the gills. Slip, slide from one end of the park to the other on a double-tube slide that’s four-and-a-half stories high; two triple-tube mammoth slides; two seven story-tall speed slides—keep your mouth closed!—and a three-mile-an-hour current that lulls guests in innertubes down a continuous river. There’s also a football field-size wave pool great for body surfing.

The Keiki Kove is geared just for the little ones. It’s tons of interactive fun with water cannons, waterfalls, mini-slides, fountains, lily pad walks and more. Even toddlers have a separate area: a shallow pool with water toys and play animals to ride and slide. Teens can be cool on rope ladders, slides, a swinging bridge and exploding geysers. Adults escape to their own relaxing pool, hammocks and cabanas.

Park amenities include changing rooms, locker rentals, recreational and competition volleyball courts, a stage area for concerts and performances, arcade, public and private group picnic areas, gift and souvenir shops, restaurants and food carts.

With the experience of creating 40 water parks behind them, the Hawaiian Waters construction and management team is one of the most experienced in the world. Speaking for the park’s owners, general partner Dr. Jack Harrington says the park is designed for the enjoyment of Hawaii residents and visitors. “We are excited about the development of a world-class family entertainment experience in Hawaii. Aside from the recreational benefits, we are confident that the park will have a positive economic impact on Oahu...” It’ll provide “an exhilarating experience for people of all ages in a safe, beautiful environment.”

Built into a first-rate attraction, Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park is guaranteed to cause a clamor during hot, summer days. Expected to draw 400,000 visitors a year, the park is manned by highly trained water-safety employees. Park security and medical personnel are on hand at all times to ensure that the fun goes on, splash after splash!
