Grand Wailea’s featured pool complex, the Canyon Activity Pools, is a series of nine pools connected by a river. The complex includes a “baby beach,” seven water slides, waterfalls, caves, white-water rapids, grottos, whirlpool and sauna, and the world’s first water elevator.

Additionally, there’s a Scuba Diving Pool, offering the perfect lesson venue for diver wannabes, and the more formal, adults-only, Hibiscus Pool, named for the huge mosaic hibiscus flower inlaid on its floor.
