Family Activities #1 Recommendation: Beach Time<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bringing the whole family to Hawai\u02bbi? Plan on lots of beach time and sunscreen. This is our favorite of family activities, because beach time is the easiest way to keep everyone happy and entertained. The little ones will want to wade and splash at the shoreline and dig into the sand. Older children might want to learn to body board or surf. Parents can sunbathe or hide out under a sunbrella, sneaking in salty kisses and soaking up the gleeful squeals and happy splashes of their children. (Speaking from experience, this is one of the most joyful experiences a parent can have.)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Check out our list of Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s best beaches.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Adventure for Tweens and Teens<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Looking for some family-friendly adventure for those tweens and teens? Ziplining <\/a>through Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s forests, over waterfalls and rivers, under towering tree tops, is sure to bring smiles to their faces. If they cry for more, take them on an ATV tour<\/a> where they\u2019ll trek through mountain trails and get good and muddy. (Age restrictions apply and vary, so be sure to check your individual tour.)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Had Enough of the Sun, Check Out These \u201cCool\u201d Places<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Need to take a break from the Hawaiian sun? Here are some \u201ccool\u201d places.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

On O\u02bbahu check out the Waikiki Aquarium, an indoor-outdoor air-conditioned marine life center, or the Hawaii Children\u2019s Discovery Center, tailored to younger children, this hands-on play center is a gift to parents looking for relief from the island heat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

On Maui, the Maui Ocean Center is the most expansive indoor aquarium in Hawai\u02bbi and offers wonders for the whole family.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

On the Big Island, bundle up and head to Mauna Kea\u2019s Visitor Information Center< for an evening of high-altitude stargazing that will leave everyone star-struck.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

On Kaua\u02bbi, the Kaua\u02bbi Museum is a \u201ccool\u201d place to learn about sea voyaging Polynesians, Hawaiian royalty, and hula dancing. These \u201ccool\u201d places also make great rainy day activities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tasting Hawai\u02bbi<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A final recommendation for vacationing in Hawai\u02bbi with the family, book accommodations with a kitchen. Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s food will be full of new flavors; some flavors the children will enjoy, some they will not. Preparing meals together can be a fun experience for children. Shop at a local farmer\u2019s market and bring home some dragon fruit or mountain apples. Let the children help wash and prepare their exotic finds. Take a video of their first taste. These are precious memories in the making.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Enjoy your time reconnecting with your family in Hawai\u02bbi!<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
