Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park
From young splashers, surfers, daredevils and lazy river floaters, Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park includes activities for the whole family. The Honolulu Half Pipe water park ride is a continuous wave, enticing the surfer in your family. Crocodile Flats gives young splashers a surprise at the end of the twirling slide. The daredevil of the family will enjoy Hammerhead slide starting at the top of the Temple of Doom heading straight down into the splash zone. If floating leisurely on a tube in a river is your idea of a good time, you are a good candidate for Lazy River.
The Adventure Park includes miniature golf courses, go-kart tracks and rides such as Cyclone and Sky Coaster.
