Aloha, Liz! Welcome to planDisney and mahalo for stopping by with such a great vacation planning question!
In just weeks, you'll be arriving at the gorgeous, grand lobby of
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, feeling the tropical breeze, hearing ukuleles and waves lap the shoreline, and tasting that first sip of a mai tai. Ahhhh, pixie-dusted paradise! Of course, no vacation to Aulani is complete without a stop (or five) at Rainbow Reef, so let's get to it! The ocean calls you, Liz!
I think you will be happy to hear that yes, you can absolutely bring an underwater camera into
Rainbow Reef, and since this private, saltwater lagoon is home to thousands of colorful tropical fish, you will surely want to! While you are
finding Nemo (and the other gorgeous marine life), be sure to also snap some photos of the underwater hidden Menehune and artistic carvings on the rocks.
While this snorkeling experience at Rainbow Reef will be an unforgettable adventure, my favorite part is that this man-made lagoon, full of marine life and exploration, is also calm and safe. After all,
fish are friends; not food.
As your vacation approaches, be sure to keep an eye on the
Daily 'Iwa: Aulani Resort Activities Calendar on the Aulani website or app to have a schedule of the awesome Resort activities during your stay. My fellow panelist pal
Doug suggests that you participate in the complimentary
Menehune Adventure Trail, and
Kamini doesn't want you to miss the "Make Your Own Mickey Ears" activity for a small fee. How incredible is it to have such unique and oh-so-fun activities right at your magical home away from home?! Enjoy, Liz!
I hope this was helpful, Liz, and I hope you have the most magical adventure at Aulani! Please stop by any time with any questions you may have.
A Hui Hou (Until we meet again),
Mandy
