Post Snorkeling Adventures: What to do after exploring the reefs

After an unforgettable snorkel tour with Ko Olina Ocean Adventures—sailing along the coast, spotting sea turtles, and exploring colorful reefs—your adventure doesn’t have to end when you return to shore. Ko Olina Resort has plenty more to offer. Here are the best ways to make the most of the rest of your day: 

1. Grab a Bite

Refuel at local favorites! Head to Monkeypod Kitchen for fresh fish tacos and a legendary lilikoi foam mai tai, or check out Island Vintage Coffee for a more casual bite and a delicious acai bowl. Want something upscale? Try Mina’s Fish House at the Four Seasons for ocean views and seafood dishes.

2. Lounge at the Lagoons

If you’re not quite ready to say goodbye to the water, the four Ko Olina lagoons offer calm, protected waters that are perfect for a relaxed afternoon swim or a sandy nap under a palm tree. The lagoons are family-friendly and ideal for those who want to unwind without the waves. Bring a beach towel, grab a shave ice, and soak in the serenity. Here’s also a guide on our take of each of the lagoons and what you’ll find at each beach. 

3. Walk the Coastline

Take a stroll on the 2.7 mi, out and back Ko Olina Beach Walk, a paved path with views of the ocean and lagoons. It’s especially beautiful at sunset. Stop, catch your breath and relax at Marriott’s Longboard’s Bar & Grill for a cocktail while you enjoy the sunset and watch the sky change colors.

4. Enjoy a Luau at Paradise Cove

Wrap up your day with a true Hawaiian celebration at the Paradise Cove Luau, just minutes away from the marina. It features traditional games, cultural demos, an island feast, and an unforgettable show with hula, fire dancing, and live music—all in a beautiful oceanfront setting. learn how you can save 10% off with Ko Olina Ocean Adventures!
