Kahala’s lagoon

The Kahala’s dolphin lagoon is home to a family of Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins. It is a saltwater, sandy-beached tidal lagoon filled with several million gallons of filtered seawater with a surface area, at high tide, of approximately one full acre. The water in this lagoon is crystal clear because fresh seawater is pumped from a tidal well dug into the highly porous lava rock. Hoku, Kolohe, Nai Noa, Liho, Lono, and Hua live within these sparkling resort waters and give visitors the ability to catch of glimpse into the lives of dolphins. The resort offers a range of programs to interact with their dolphins. You can become a trainer for a day or week, feeding and playing with the dolphins in the lagoon, encounter the dolphins for a play-date, swim with the dolphins during a personalized session, or have a dockside encounter specialized for parents and young children. There is nothing like the Dolphin Quest at Kahala resort. Enjoy your time here!
