Rainbow Reef

Rainbow Reef is a man-made saltwater lagoon located at the Disney hotel resort, Aulani, at Ko Olina, Hawaii. The attraction features a snorkeling experience where guests can swim with various fish in the man-made lagoon to remind them of swimming with fish in the ocean.
==History==
The Rainbow Reef attraction was built as an experience to show guests the relationship with fish to remind guests of swimming underwater with fish in the ocean, giving guests the opportunity to have an encounter with the fish seen in the pool. The fish displayed in this attraction represent an important part of Hawaiian culture and the scenery featured there displays coral reefs which help with the ocean's ecosystems and the attraction itself also helps with the diversity of oceans which play an important part in the nature of Hawaii.
==Summary==
Rainbow Reef is a snorkeling experience attraction where guests can discover fish while swimming underwater as well as the Menehune from Hawaiian culture. Before guests can swim underwater, snorkeling equipment is required for guests to enjoy the underwater experience. In addition to the equipment required to enjoy it, the rules outside the entrance of the lagoon are listed for guests' safety which they must follow when swimming underwater to encounter the fish:
*Relax and breathe through your mouth. Do not hold your breath.
*Swim gently forward using only your arms.
*Remain on the surface.
*Diving is not permitted.
*Do not climb on the rocks or islands.
*Enjoy your up-close encounter with our marine life, but please, for your safety and theirs, do not touch them.
While diving underwater, guests will be able to see fish swimming by them as well as corals used in the scenery which represent the diversity of the ecosystem's oceans, especially with the oceans of Hawaii. In addition to this, guests can also find Menehune statues underwater, which also play an important part in Hawaiian culture as well. Besides the snorkeling experiences, two windows showing the underwater viewing of Rainbow Reef are also accessible where guests can see the underwater viewing of the fish seen there.
