Best lagoon and how to get there??

[micminmom]

Which lagoon is the best for seeing the most fish or most sea turtles? Also is one quieter than the others? Looking to relax with kids.

If you walk toward paradise cove and walk into their parking lot, you will notice that most of it is blocked off. But there is a small part in the back that they keep open for public access. If you walk back there and follow that sidewalk you will see a fence with hedges and both sides. Walk down there and that is the cove... It is beautiful first thing in the morning. I just walked back up from there. There were a few more families that were just getting there when I left. Yesterday someone said she saw three turtles while snorkeling and a sea lion or monk seal...can't remember. I haven't seen any just hanging out on the shore though. And I've been down there quite a bit this week.

The turtles hang out at the Paradise Cove lagoon, and others have seen seals...not us though. My husband saw a lot of fish in the Aulani lagoon. I don't know about any of the others, but I would imagine they are about the same.

Just returned. I highly recommend the Paradise Cove lagoon. It is beautiful in the morning but I was told by a local that turtles don't come until late morning. That was my experience also. The local woman said that cove was the only one in Ko Olina that was not man made, which was why wildlife preferred it. I am not sure that is true, but it was amazing to snorkel with the sea turtles!!

We saw 3 turtles swimming in the Paradise Cove Lagoon 2 weeks ago and then last week we saw one when we went back over. Last year we also saw a monk seal but not this year. I agree to go after 11:00.
