Ko Olina
The Magic of Ko Olina
One of the best things to do in O’ahu, for that matter, is to take to the water. From humpback whales migrating in the winter to pods of dolphins playfully swimming near the sandy shores along Ko Olina, the tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean hold innumerable treasures.
Location
A 50-minute drive west from Waikiki takes you to Ko Olina, a low-key enclave on O’ahu's leeward side known for its renowned hotels—the Ko Olina Four Seasons and the kid-friendly Aulani, Disney Resort & Spa. Once an ancient Hawai’ian fishing village, Ko Olina was converted into a retreat for Hawai’ian royalty. Today, the area is a relaxed alternative to the hustle and bustle of Waikiki.
