Facility Overview
PARKLINQ Ko Olina Marina - Paid Parking is a dedicated open-air surface parking facility situated at 92-100 Waipahe Place within the world-class Ko Olina Resort in Kapolei, West Oahu. Nestled right along the waterfront of the private Ko Olina Marina, this lot provides crucial, regulated vehicle accommodation for boat charters, beachgoers, marina slip holders, and resort guests.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Public parking lots at the Ko Olina ocean lagoons often fill up before 9:00 AM, making this paid marina facility the most dependable alternative for ocean access. Drivers should have their mobile device ready to scan the PARKLINQ QR codes or pay online upon arrival to record their vehicle\\\'s license plate number and avoid citations. Charter boat passengers should aim to park at least 30 to 40 minutes prior to mandatory check-in times to account for walking down to the dock gates.
