We got a discount through the hotel thinking we'd get a good deal here. One problem - the water park is now closed during the week. We're leaving Friday and obviously can't attend the water park. The customer service is rude and unreasonable. They won't help us out at all, much less refund the money. We are out $180 and... more

This review is going to be in plural form because there were 12 people in our group (3 families) and we all left feeling the same way about Big Kahunas. Yesterday was our first and last visit to this waterpark. We should have read all the reviews on this website before purchasing tickets. So we hope this review will help... more

I read all the reviews and expected the park to be crowded which it was. We went to the park anyway. There were long lines, but they moved quickly. We generaly had a good time until it was time to eat lunch. There were absolutely no tables available. We waited for 30 to 45 minutes for a table to open.... more

I was visiting BK every year for 4 years. So my review is pretty much comparison of the several years and therefroe maybe useful as discover the trand where BK is going. Price. There is no much cheap (or free) activities in Destin. Others are usually expensive and crowded. BK is not exception from this rule. If you would like... more

Haven't been to many waterparks so it's tough to gauge Big Kahuna's against the competition. My wife and two children went on a Monday in July hoping the crowd might be a little less on a weekday. Arrived about thriry minutes after opening. Bought tickets over the internet to save a few bucks but still paid $33.99 for three of... more

Maybe I'm just use to the waterparks in Ohio. This waterpark did not impress us at all. Instead of being spread out over numerous acres they have everything on top of each other. There is no where to walk. The lifegaurds need thrown in the water. All they do is blow their whistles and don't do anything. We had a... more

We went ont july 1. Bought our tickets online and saved 5 dollars each. Paid 31.00 for adult and 27.00 for kid. Got there right at open and all the pool side seeting was gone. The teenage lifeguards would tell you to get out of the way while you was waiting on your kids to get down the slides. So... more

This is going to be a long review. I visited Big Kahuna's yesterday June 20, 2008, and had a terrible experience. I'm surprised because I have been to the park several times in the past and never remember having a bad time. I went with a friend and we both decided to buy the season passes. I prepaid for mine... more

As for the water park, it was just ok. Thrilling but not really worth the time, especially if you have a water park close by you when you're not on vacaction. Nothing really special. BUT.... The adventure park.. The sky swing was FANTASTIC and EXTREMELY THRILLING!!! And.. THE CYCLONE! The most thrilling ride I have ever been on in my... more
