Wet ‘n’ Wild Hawaii is open year-round, with daily operations in June and July, and generally Thursdays to Sundays in January and February and Wednesdays to Sundays the rest of the year. It’s always best to check ahead of time to avoid disappointment. The busiest time is over the summer, and weekends in particular. During non-peak times, many rides operate on a rotation basis.

Coral Crater Adventure Park

Located only a couple of miles away from Wet ‘n’ Wild Hawaii, Coral Crater Adventure Park offers 35 acres (14 hectares) of outdoor adventure activities, including zip lines, off-road ATV rides, and an aerial adventure tower, with climbing walls, ropes and obstacles courses, and free-fall and rappelling activities. The two parks can be combined into one tour for an adventurous, fun day.

Ways to explore

You can experience Wet ‘n’ Wild Hawaii with general admission tickets, combo passes, or packages that include round-trip transportation from Waikiki.

Lockers, cabanas, and food options are available for purchase, and height or age limits may apply to select rides. The park is open year-round, with weekdays offering lighter crowds. For the easiest visit, book in advance and bring reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes, and a change of clothes.

Address 

Wet ‘n’ Wild Hawaii is just off the H-1 Highway in Kapolei, making it easy to reach by car or through tours that include round-trip transportation from Waikīkī.

Driving

Take H-1 to exit 1E and turn right at the stoplight; enter the park to the right. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the park from the Honolulu Airport.

Public transportation

While TheBus reaches the area, public transit isn’t a convenient option; the ride from Honolulu takes 90 minutes or more and requires a transfer and a short walk.

Best times to visit

Arriving right when the park opens (10:30am) helps to beat crowds and long lines, while staying until closing lets you ride popular slides when lines thin.

Best days to visit

Weekdays are the top pick, especially Tuesday through Thursday, when visitor numbers tend to be lower, and the experience is more relaxed.

Best months to visit

Late spring (April–May) and early fall (September) offer warm weather and fewer island tourists.

Special events

The park hosts themed evenings such as Dive’n’Movie Nights, K-Pop days, and extended-hours events (for example, movie screenings in the wave pool), which can add extra fun—but also mean more guests, so plan accordingly.
