Hanauma Bay: The perfect beach for some family time
Hanauma Bay is an ideal kid-friendly beach. Here, you can indulge in water activities like snorkeling and enjoy the shallow reefs around. It has plenty of food outlets, gift shops, and lockers to store your personal belongings. In case an older adult from your kin needs it, you can also rent a wheelchair here. Don't forget to make a reservation before your visit.
Kilauea volcano: Ride in a helicopter for some incredible views
Hawaii is home to many active volcanos and volcano national parks where you and your family can experience a different side of the island. One of them is Kilauea volcano, for which you can board a helicopter that will hover around the most active parts. A ride lasts 45 to 50 minutes and you will feel the volcano's heat, even from a staggering height!
Luau of Hawaii: Immerse in the festivities
Luau is a Hawaiian festival in which you can witness cultural performances, savor authentic local food, and enjoy some live music. It is an iconic feast that was started back in 1819. Speaking of food, you can relish some local dishes like haupia (coconut pudding) and poi (a plant-based dish). Attendees are allowed to participate in the celebrations, making it more special for them.
Diamond Head: A family that hikes together, stays together
Diamond Head is an ancient and extinct volcano crater (formed about 200,000 years ago!) that offers unparalleled coastal views of Honolulu city. It is perfect for a hike with your family as it is perched at an elevation of 232 m and features a smooth terrain. The location is kid-friendly, so if you are a family of adrenaline junkies, go for it!
Haleakala National Park: Get your camping essentials in place
Among the most beautiful and memorable things you can do in Hawaii with your family is to visit the Haleakala National Park and catch some surreal views of sunrise/sunset. While you need to make a reservation for sunrise viewing, sunset doesn't require one. Staying up late is a good decision as you can enjoy stargazing. Carry your camping chairs and blankets for the night.
