Kid-friendly Activities that Everyone Can Enjoy

Traveling with kids can limit your choice of activities.  Fear not, we’ve come up with a list of kid-friendly activities the whole family will enjoy!

Lanai

Known as Maui’s most enticing island, Lanai is a stunning island with an old world plantation feel.  You can picnic overlooking Puu Pehe (Sweethearts Rock) or get a little family pampering at one of the two Four Season Hotels on the island.  The beaches are postcard worthy and you’ll find yourself relaxing on the beach while your little ones make sand castles.  If you feel like a little more adventure, we’ve got that covered as well!

*Getting to Lanai:  Taking a ferry to Lanai is just the start of your family adventure!  This ferry is the fast and fun way to make your way over to this secluded island.  Get your ferry tickets here.

*Getting around Lanai:  Hoofing it in the hot sun isn’t the way to a relaxing vacation when you’ve got kids in tow.  Thankfully, a Jeep rental can be yours for a day of adventuring and exploring the island!  No guided tour dictating your bathroom breaks and sight seeing stops, just you and your family on the open road!  Get your Jeep rentals here.
