mountains. The sky to the grasses. The people to the land. Connect

explorations of the island and its magic. Which path will you take
to discover the heart of Hawai'i?
Adventures of the Land
Ancient legends and island wonders reach out to you from the peaks
of mighty mountains beneath the sweeping sky. Plunge into tropical
forests, ride on bike trails and climb high into the mountains as
you follow in the footsteps of explorers past. Or visit a local
pineapple plantation, where kids can wander the maze of bushes as
everyone enjoys that sweet juicy fruit for which the land is so
famous. The breathtaking views of O'ahu are both invigorating and
transforming, infusing you with the adventures that only Hawai'i
holds.
Treasures of the Sea
Dive into the exhilarating waters of Hawai'i for the experience of
your life. Splash in the sea foam on the sparkling white sands. Sail
out on a catamaran, the ocean waves spraying against the bow in the
breeze. You might even join playful pods of dolphins and sea turtles
for a swim. Then kayak past protected coves for a glimpse of the
fascinating island ecology. Snorkel with fascinating fish at Rainbow
Reef. Then grab your board and brave the North Shore for some of the
most fantastic surfing in the world! All this and more awaits you to
take that first plunge - into the stories of Hawai'i.
Flavors of Life
From the bounty of the sea to the harvest of island farms, discover
endless ways to savor your stay on Hawai'i. Sample sweet and subtle
tastes offered by a honey sommelier. Or visit a macadamia nut farm
for a crunchy treat. Sip fine island-brewed coffees, take a cooking
lesson from local culinary experts and nibble raw sugarcane to tease
out its sweet juice. Sail with local fisherman and visit local
farmers who gather the freshest ingredients through time-honored
traditions. Then bring your family to the table with Aulani chefs to
learn the secret of preparing the perfect island meal.
 Heart
of Imagination
It's playtime in paradise! Ride a tube slide and splash past the
fantastic Hawaiian landscape on a grand aquatic adventure. Or make
mischief with the menehune along the paths and trails that wind into
the lush gardens. Each inch of this amazing place invites kids to
explore. There's more than meets the eye, with surprises at every
turn! Then step into Aunty's Beach House, where kids can let their
imagination run free. From memorable moments with Disney friends to
Hawaiian legends told with a special Disney touch, kids are at the
heart of the magic.
The Inspiration of Art & Culture
Beauty beyond words has inspired artists in Hawai'i to create
alluring artwork for centuries. Those same paintings, weavings and
sculptures have also been powerful storytelling tools, passing on
the legends of Hawai'i. See the world through the eyes of Hawaiian
artists at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. Kids can discover the craft
of lei making or build whimsical sand volcanoes on the beach. Visit
the Bishop Museum and see the stunning artifacts formed from the
beliefs and daily lives of ancient Hawaiians. And everyone can learn
the sacred moves of hula. Feel the rapture of its rhythm as the
stories of Hawai'i move through you…
Wonders of Nature
Vibrant and thriving, the breathtaking beauty of Hawai'i surrounds
you. Stunning sunsets splash across the horizon. Birds with striking
plumage flit through the branches. Sublime flowers bloom in the
sun's radiance. And the vast sea holds mysteries even more amazing.
Go snorkeling in Aulani's own lagoon and meet teeming schools of
colorful fish. Trail your hand in the waters of the Aulani
Conservation Pool and stroke the velvety backs of gentle stingrays.
You can even set off across the shores to Sea Life Park where native
dolphins play. Commune with nature in the heart of Hawai'i and
discover the wonders of life.
The Dream of Romance
Share a loving moment as you watch the rouge sunset spill across the
sea. Take an intimate walk along the soft beaches. Unwind together
in a private cabana as Aulani staff caters to your every whim.
Pamper one another with the comforts of paradise as you enjoy the
pure relaxation of a couple's massage. Or go horseback riding along
trails that wind into the rolling hills and rainforests. Heart to
heart. Hand in hand. For now and forever. Let your love grow amid
the beauty of the islands, where the passion of Pele warms the
earth.
The Spirit of Paradise
Your mind and body are in harmony with the gentle breezes, the
warmth of the sun, the sea that stretches into infinity. A graceful
meditation with a tai chi master brings inner peace. Feel yourself
align with the world as you stretch into a yoga pose in the lush
gardens. The scent of jasmine welcomes you to unwind in a vitality
pool. Bliss and balance. Search for signs of baby sea turtles
emerging from the sands. The circle of life. Then reach to the stars
with your spirit as Aulani storytellers reveal the ancient tales
told to Hawaiians by the twinkling skies. Open your imagination and
let your spirit soar.
