• Nature and Wildlife at Aulani Resort

  When designing Aulani Resort, Walt Disney Imagineers studied the natural wonders of Hawai‘i. Using the local landscape as inspiration, they built a Resort that celebrates the nature and wildlife of the islands.

  Beautifully designed with a balance between the manmade structures and natural surroundings, Aulani Resort draws its inspiration from the environment and design traditions of the islands. Resort highlights include:

  • A lo‘i kalo (taro terrace) at the Resort entrance
  • A rock outcropping that forms the lobby's foundation, anchoring the sleek porte-cochere that transitions to a flooring of coral and lava stone
  • Waikolohe Valley, which features a broad canopy, flowering trees and a forest setting
  • Natural elements used as finishing touches throughout the Resort, like coral and stones
  • Beautiful birds and aquaculture—including colorful koi fish

  Over time, the landscape will grow and mature—and Aulani Resort will become even more beautiful.

  Note: The features listed above may or may not be shown on the tour.
