But the biggest magnet is Ko Olina Resort with its glorious coves for swimming and sunning. Ko Olina’s newest addition is Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa that sidesteps typical Disney fantasy and focuses on celebrating the reality of Hawaiian culture, history and traditions. With the help of Mickey, Minnie and the gang decked out in aloha attire, the resort has a fun vibe that never lets you lose sight that it’s all about the Hawaiian Islands. At Ko Olina, you’ll also find two of Oahu’s most popular luaus at Germaine’s and Paradise Cove, plus a selection of ocean excursions departing the resort’s marina. « less

The kids loved playing in these. The fish feeding at the JW Marriott was interesting. Saw multiple turtles.

Went to the Ko Olina Lagoons for father's day, had a great time. my one year old loved it! We played on the sand and the water with no issues. The weather was fantastic all day as well. Parking is the only problem, there is none! If you don't get there early enough you will not find any free parking.... More

These Lagoons are beautiful! We drove down to the limited free public parking at the Honu Lagoon. It was later in the day and several families were leaving so it wasn't too bad for us to park there. My parents really wanted to get into the Pacific Ocean, and this is a great option for anyone traveling with Mobility issues... More

If you love swimming and don't wish to encounter waves, rocks and currents, this is the beach for you! Water is amazing, warm and clear! Nice grassy area and also a good bit of sand for laying out! A few fish, so not great for snorkeling, but lovely for swimming or floating! Heaven.....

This is a calming, unimaginatively beautiful lagoon. The water was warm and there are waves that range in size depending on when you go, but always seemed safe. There are sea turtles and fish but it depends which lagoon you go to. I stayed mainly in lagoon 3 by the resort I was staying at.

Try them all. The first one, for the locals, gets many seals and some turtles so stroll around in your swimsuits & snorkel gear & see what you discover.
