You will be lei-mazed by the variety of keiki (kid) friendly activities available including canoe rides, spear throwing, tree climbing, coconut husking, fire walking and so much more. Taking a walk on Hawaii’s wilder side has never been so exhilarating or educational!

This family package includes admission, transportation and entrance to the Polynesian Cultural Center’s popular show, “Ha: Breath of Life” which tells of the ancient story of Mana combining singing, drumming, dancing and special effects. And while entrance to the park provides access to the Polynesian Cultural Center’s myriad of concession stands and restaurants you can wow your family with a luau. Either the Alii Luau Package or Ambassador Luau offer dining options fit for royalty!

Honolulu City Haunts Walking Tour (Oahu)

For a spook-tacular family outing, the Honolulu City Haunts Tour is the perfect activity for older, teen-aged children. The family is in for a frighteningly good time, as you explore haunted Honolulu sites after dark, listen to spine-tingling stories and maybe even get up close and personal with some unexplained phenomena.

The two-hour tour takes particip ants on a spooky, 1.2 mile stroll through Chinatown and Downtown Honolulu with stops including Iolani Palace and the Hawaii State Capital.

The perfect family activity to spend the night on the town, make sure to schedule this tour into your vacation calendar since its only available Thursdays through Sundays. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and bringing a light jacket and umbrella in case you’re treated to one of Hawaii’s passing showers.

Splash out for a Hawaii sunrise snorkel off Hawaii Island. You and your family will sail away aboard the luxurious Kanoa II, a 65-foot catamaran, to explore popular water spots including Fantasy Reef, Red Hill, Turtle Heaven and Dolphin Cove – all teeming with fish friends. Accessible only by boat, these world-class, crystal clear waters are home to hundreds of species of Hawaiian ocean wildlife and regularly frequented by honu (green sea turtles) and dolphins who call the Pacific Ocean home.

You and the ohana (family) will be equipped with Rx masks, snorkel gear and close instructions before pushing off for 2.5 hours of snorkeling shenanigans. Get face to fin with Hawaii’s underwater animals, slip and slide down the catamaran’s 20-foot water slide or simply take advantage of the many water toys available.

For your family’s safety the Kanoa II’s crew includes a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain and first mate, licensed bartender and a team trained in first aid and CPR.
