Oahu Family Getaway
Many people think of Hawaii and picture romance and exotic drinks, but Oahu has something for everyone.
In fact, Hawaii is actually a great place for family getaways, and kids can find plenty of reasons to enjoy Hawaii.
And one of the best places to take a family is the island of Oahu.
Home to the famous Waikiki Beach and the city of Honolulu, Oahu is one of the most visited of the Hawaiian Islands.
And there's plenty to do with the family if you look in the right places.
Explore Oahu History - If you and your family love history, then you'll be happy to know Oahu has plenty of historical landmarks to explore.
Not only is the island where the Pearl Harbor attacks took place, but several memorials and historical markers explain the details of that day.
Or take the family to the peaceful Nu'uanu Pali, a vital pass from ancient times used by settlers who formed villages in the area and populated Nu'uanu Valley for a thousand years.
The Falls of Clyde is a family favorite as the only surviving fully-rigged, four-mast sailing ship left in the world.
Fun in the Sun - Be sure to enjoy the spectacular sunshine and white sandy beaches with the whole family.
The Ko Olina Lagoons also offer spectacular views complete with picnic areas, showers, a concession stand, and a sand-and-reef area.
If you'd like to be a bit more adventurous, the Lagoons also offer mammal watching, such as whales and dolphins, and snorkeling.
Plenty of marine life has been spotted from the lagoons.
Whether your family is the adventurous type...
or more laid back and looking for long hikes up the hills and a beach to sit back and relax, you'll find it on Oahu.
Just for the Kids (of all ages) - Finally, a family vacation is not complete without some activities exclusively for the kids.
And there is plenty for kids to do.
The Honolulu Zoo, the Waikiki Aquarium, and the nearly two-mile garden maze at the Dole Plantation are just a few activities children love.
You may find that bringing your kids to Hawaii with you is more fun than you realized.
By the time your vacation is over, you'll see they can bring out the kid in you.
Oahu has much to enjoy for the adults on vacation alone, but when the kids are with you, you'll find even more to explore.
