Hawaii Family Vacations

Hawaii Island is a natural wonderland for family vacations, and the perfect place for families to reconnect and reunite. Whether it’s an eruption experience, a night of stargazing, a visit to an ancient Hawaiian fishing village, or “just” a long lazy day at the beach, there are countless activities and adventures that the family can explore together.

Children and parents will find fun ways to enrich their knowledge of nature, history, and Hawaiian and Pacific cultures. We have a wide range of historical, science and cultural museums and festivals. Here you’ll find exciting work being done in astronomy, vulcanology, oceanography, ecology, renewable energy and cold-seawater aquaculture. Vivid history and cultural knowledge is always before you in ancient archeological sites, hula and Hawaiian music performances, ethnic cultural festivals and craft demonstrations in villages and at resorts.

And you can learn adventure! Take your first scuba dive, have a surfing lesson or explore the coast on a kayak. Or take your first serious backpacking trek. How about a hike into a pitch-black lava tube? Your family can arrive with an adventure list, and spend your vacation crossing off your achievements.
