This 800-Foot Hawaii Lazy River Has Summer Written All Over It

In a state with approximately 750 miles of stunning coastline and hundreds of pristine beaches, it is not terribly shocking that you won’t find many traditional water parks in Hawaii. But sometimes you want to ditch the beach, and simply kick back, relax, and float down a lazy river. Well, you’re in luck, because Hawaii’s only traditional water park is home to a dreamy 800-foot lazy river that’s tailor-made for a leisurely summer afternoon. Ready to make a splash?

Welcome to Wet’n’Wild, the perfect place to go when you’re just not feeling the beach.

Located on the leeward side of Oahu in Kapolei, Wet’n’Wild is one of seven water parks operating under the name Wet’n’Wild in the United States and Australia.

Nestled on 29 acres and surrounded by natural cliffs, lush, tropical landscaping, and more palm trees than you could possibly count, it’s hard to deny that Wet’n’Wild’s location is perfectly picturesque.

And while the park is home to some pretty thrilling adventures — more than 25 of them, to be exact — we’re here for the Kapolei Kooler, an 800-foot lazy river that is surrounded by a lush tropical garden and features cool, crystal clear water.

Unwind as you float through cave-like 10-foot walls, but watch out for the occasional rushing rapids, waterfall, and waterspout sure to add a little cool delight to your lazy river experience.

Meandering in at an impressive 800-feet, the Kapolei Kooler has summer written all over it.

We could spend all day floating along this lazy river, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t share with you some of the many exhilarating attractions found here. From a splash pad perfect for curious keiki…

...to a wave pool with more than 400,000 gallons of water…

...and a variety of thrilling waterslides that will make your heart pound, there’s truly something for everyone here.

Whether you come for the lazy river or the thrilling water slides, you'll love soaking up the sun at Wet'n'Wild Hawaii on a hot, summers day.
