Things to see and do

On 62 glorious oceanfront acres, Hilton Waikoloa Village offers three freshwater swimming pools, water-slides, Jacuzzis, hidden grottos, and a lagoon filled with colorful tropical fish and rare green sea turtles. Kayaks, paddleboats, and other 'water-toys' ensure family fun in all but one pool reserved for adult quiet and solitude.

The water area encompasses four acres of exquisite swimming, snorkeling, and beach facilities. Open ocean breakers roll, then gently wash into the lagoon through rugged reef configurations that tame the currents and provide a safe arena for underwater discovery.

In a private cove, guests may have the opportunity to be part of an interactive program facilitated by Dolphin Quest®. Marine mammal experts teach the importance of preserving ocean resources while guiding adults, teens, and children, through the memorable experience of learning in the water, side-by-side with Atlantic bottlenose dolphins.

Sleek Swiss-made trams and mahogany canal boats transport guests through resort lobbies, and the shopping arcade, to and from their luxury rooms. For the unhurried, a walk through the flagstonepaved mile-long museum promenade is an informative way to get to any destination in the resort. All rooms and suites have lanais with views of the gardens, golf course, mountains, or ocean.

Our Tours and Information Desk can also arrange classes for flower lei and Ti leaf lei making, coconut weaving and hula. Complimentary tours are offered each Saturday morning of Waikoloa Resort's petroglyph fields.

Freely stroll along flagstone-lined paths and admire Hilton Waikoloa Village's multi-million dollar art and artifact collection maintained by our own museum curator. Purchase an art guide at one of the sundry shops and spend an afternoon discovering the features of the three main sections of our mile-long museum walkway: Polynesian, Asian, and European.

In the center of our museum walkway you will find one of the largest feather lei collections in Hawaii. Also, visit our exhibit featuring a history of the incredible construction and growth of the Hilton Waikoloa Village; you will see how desolate lava fields were transformed into the verdant jungles and streams that make up our paradise. Hawaiian quilt and kahili designed and assembled by our own Hilton ohana (team members) are also on display to perpetuate the culture of our island.
