Why would anyone want to waste a day in Hawaii at a water park?  Because you're an idiot like me who can't say no.  Even though I did spend one of my 5 days in Hawaii at a waterpark that I don't remember being any different than Raging Waters, the place wasn't that bad.  It's better than Water World in Concord because they allow you to go into the wave pool and stay in it.  Last couple times I went to Water World they kept kicking us out!  

Place was okay, and I met Master Chief here.  Yes, a real live Master Chief.  Deserving of 3 stars but plus one for Master Chief.

*****Warning this review may cause vomit*****

Stopped by here today to check out all the pit bulls in the parking lot. They had some sorta pit bull show/trade/sell thing going on.  I would rate this and all the special events 4 stars. Very organized, clean, and buzz worthy.

The water park on the other hand, not so much.

I use to own an annual pass for 2 years but since moving to Hawaii Kai and the gauging prices of gas, I didn't use it as often as I wanted to.

I will only go to this water park if it's for a corporate event. I've seen on more than one occasion, children, OLDER CHILDREN, doing the number 2 in the water, near the water, by the lazy river and the wave pool.  The parents should've got a back hand or a fore-arm rip to the head. They did nothing about it, laughed, then walked away. I got into a confrontation with one parent about this. Then low and behold, their whole tribe of a family wants to SCRAP because they said it's just an accident. ACCIDENT? umm, NO!! Your kid is like 10 years old, he should be potty trained by now. I actually saw the kid pull his pants down and crap on the concrete entrance to the lazy river. DISGUSTING! They didn't even bother to clean it up or reprimand their child.

Furthermore, the staff didn't close the lazy river as quickly as they should have.

This also happened in the wave pool, shit floating near us, WTF????

I also seen a child fly out of the big tall slide, onto the concrete and scrape their back. The medics came.  

FYI, the lifeguards all look extremely young and inexperienced. I'm sure they are certified but ummm??

Okay, I'm not trying to bash this park, I'm just sharing my experiences.  Many of my friends children have also gotten sick after swimming here, so I think I'm right on the money.

Anyway, I refuse to swim here anymore.  Even though it is a lot of fun, until you find yourself swimming with babe ruth candy bars and mushroom clouds. So...... NOT FUN anymore.

This place was AWESOME!  Hawaiian Waters is home to the longest and the largest variety of water rides I've ever seen in one place. Our whole family had a fantastic fun-filled day here.  Whoever built this place really thought it through because they truly offered adventurous fun for everyone.   Our three-year-old spent most of his time in the Keiki Cove where he rode his first water slide ever.  It was larger than any little kid water slide I'd ever seen. Its size made it easy to ride down with him.

Slides designed for bigger kids were exciting and fun.  Among them, the Flyin' Hawaiian --- which shoots you through a series of twists and turns before momentarily making you airborne before you splash down into a pool and the Shaka, a wild ride for two that is based on momentum.  The couple riding sits in a raft that shoots down one steep slide and up another, depending on how much momentum you were able to get on the first downward you may go back and forth more than once.

The staff was very friendly.  There are loads of lounge chairs and places to sit and sun yourself as well as plenty of food options and even a bar in the park.  Be careful --- sun, alcohol and water can be a dangerous combination!

So the wife and I went to this water park during my recent visit to Honolulu. We arrived around 1:30pm and were told that they were closing at 3:30pm... Um okay... "Do we get some sort of discount for half day errrr 2 hours?" Mmmmm hmmm... I swear if I didn't ask we would have been charged the ridiculous $40.00 fee to get in this place... So we go in and head to the ride we like to call the toilet... There was literally no one in this place... 1 star for that!  We rode the toilet ride, some tube slides, and the super slide waterslide. Then we went over to the Shaka only to hear that the ride would be closed for the next 30 minutes and to enjoy the slide next to it... ummmm okay? Well then this started happening all over the park... Well lets see when you only have only 2 hours every minute counts... The rides are located what seems like miles apart from each other in a chaotic set up.  When we got tickets it said that only one ride was out of operation for the day, however once inside we counted numerous attractions not operating! Instead of manning the rides employees were sitting around gossiping at picnic table... wow cush job! Okay lets go check out the lazy river? Nope lazty river closes at 2:30pm today... And done! We grabbed are stuff and went up to the front to complain. We asked for a manager and were brought Kline...  one of the most condesending and unhelpful people I have ever encountered! Kline was combative and rude! Obviously this place is not the Nordstrom of Waterslide parks... what ever happened to customer service? I think it was because we were two Howlee's aka white girls! She why the second star you ask? Because I got a great picture of me flipping this place off...

11/9/08: Straight from my mainland flight, i headed to a nephew's bday party here expecting the worst.  when i arrived around 1pm, the parking lot wasn't as packed as i expected. i thought i would have a 10 minute walk from the far end of the lot since i was getting here really late. anyways, the birthday party was over at the bday pavillion, it featured a relatively central location and reserved picnic benches. food was catered and provided by the park, nothing special and greasy as expected. i didn't have to endure the nightmare of seeing various relatives in their speedos, everyone was well relaxed by the time i arrived. anyways after the kids party was winding down, a few of us bigger kids tried out some the other bigger slides - i had fun and will proudly admit it!
