Water Disclosures Water disclosure pertaining to any of our properties. The agent hereby discloses that the ocean near the Island of Oahu constantly changes with the tide, moon phase, time of year, weather conditions, and other factors that are beyond any person's control. The agent cannot guarantee that there will be a certain amount of sandy area, nor can the agent guarantee the beach and water conditions during the Guest's stay. The guest is hereby advised that the ocean and reefs are inherently dangerous, that Hawaiian waves and currents are much stronger than those existing in other areas, and that extreme caution must be exercised by anyone who chooses to participate in any ocean activities. Beware of the reefs as diving off boats and into surf can be much shallower than you think. ALWAYS swim in the ocean with a companion. Please, please never look into a blowhole along the rocks and cliffs of the ocean. Rogue waves aren’t really that rogue and the water can suck you in and then under then out into the ocean. And most importantly here in Hawaii....NEVER turn your back on the ocean. Never turn your back on a cliff taking a selfie and do not run narrow trails. It is a federal crime to touch or otherwise harass sea animals in and out of the water. Keep your distance and take great pics. Be safe! Hiking on All Islands Please use extreme caution while hiking and use only State of Hawaii marked trails. NEVER hike after a strong rain. NEVER cross a stream during or after a storm. The trails can be treacherous as the vegetation hides the sheer cliffs that drop hundreds of feet. Waterfalls can be shallow at the bottom so use caution when jumping off into the pools below.
