Aloha, Mona! Welcome back to planDisney! Mahalo for stopping by with another great vacation planning question.
In just weeks, you'll be arriving at the gorgeous, grand lobby of
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, feeling the warm breeze, hearing the waves lap the shoreline and taking that first sip of a tropical beverage out of a pineapple. Ahhhh, paradise! Of course, you can't vacation in paradise without snorkeling with colorful marine life, so I'm thrilled to hear that you plan on taking advantage of the Length-of-Stay Access to Rainbow Reef - O'ahu's only private snorkeling lagoon.
To purchase Length-of-Stay Access to
Rainbow Reef (a great choice!), just head to Rainbow Reef in the middle of the Waikolohe Valley pool area once you arrive at Aulani. The desk usually opens at 8:00 a.m., but during your vacation, just drop by Rainbow Reef any time between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., whenever you are ready to snorkel! There is no need to purchase your Access or reserve a snorkel time in advance. Just stop by whenever the ocean calls you, Moana - I mean, Mona!
Mona, did you know that your snorkeling equipment is included in your Access fee?! Aloooooha! And while you're enjoying the relaxation of safely snorkeling in this man-made, high-visibility saltwater lagoon, keep your eyes peeled for hidden Menehune and carvings in the rocks. Enjoy!
I hope this was helpful, Mona, and I hope you have the most magical and memorable adventure in this pixie-dusted paradise! Please stop by any time with any questions you may have along the way.
A hui hou (Until we meet again),
Mandy
