A highlight of our week in Oahu

Brought the kids for a day, and they played on the water obstacle course from open to close. excellent food at the restaurant behind the surf waves. A highlight of our week in Oahu.

It's the perfect spot for both locals and tourists

Well worth visiting over and over and over again. Next time my husband and I come around, we'll be taking pre-workout and drinking a protein shake because man, that was a workout! Falling will occur, but it's a lot of fun. I suggest bringing a group because it's the craziest game of tag you could play!

Hands down the best physical activity on the island for the whole family!

Such a wonderful atmosphere and all the employees seem pretty happy. It's good that they added this to the west side of the island, added more jobs and gave some people a fun thing to do.
