Hawaii- The Perfect Holiday For Families
Hawaii, translated from the ancient Hawaiian language should mean paradise, because that’s what it is. Hawaii has a climate that changes only several degrees in temperature year round and sunshine always shines. The rainy season is in January, but it isn’t so rainy that it deters visitors. In point of fact, winter is one of the most popular times of year to go to Hawaii. This is likely as it is cold and dreary nearly any other place in the United States. Hawaii makes for the ideal getaway for Californians as it is only about a three hour flight.
Hawaii makes for a great family vacation as a result of the wide assortment of activities or no activity at all. (if laying on a perfect sandy beach is your thing) All of the islands offer a variety of family friendly pursuits. Like swimming or surfing on one of Hawaii’s amazing beach locations. Wakiki is a family group friendly beach located on the island of Ohau. The waves are long and shallow offering a good family atmosphere. Wakiki is a fine place for beginners to learn to surf because the waves or not so treacherous. Because Honolulu is a big city, you can even find fast food to satisfy those hungry youngsters.
While on Ohau, be sure not to miss the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. This memorial is both powerful and sorrowful. After watching a brief movie depicting the horrific attack on Pearl Harbor, holidaymakers will take a short ferry ride out too the memorial. The memorial actually drifts on the surface of the sunken ship. Once you get off the ferry, you can walk back to the wall that lists the name of each individual that died that dreaded day in December.
Ohau is in addition home to the Wakiki Aquarium, the Honolulu zoo, and the Sea life park. The park has a 300,000 gallon tank, where you can see sharks, rays and thousands of reef fish. You can also swim with the dolphins here. The children will like the dolphins.
The island of Maui hosts the Maui Ocean Center, that is the biggest tropical aquarium in the United States. Maui is in addition a fine place to windsurf, and has loads of different waterfalls. The resort area of Ka’anapali is situated on the western coast of Maui, and is the place to see the island’s best golf courses. This is where you will discover the large high-rise resorts. They have plenty of pools for the kids to swim in. The beach here, even so, is not quite as kid friendly as Wakiki Beach. The rip currents can be strong and Maui is much windier that Honolulu. The calmer beach at Kihei, might be a little more child friendly.
If horsebacking riding is more your style, you should go to either the North Shore of Ohau, or the large island of Hawaii or Kaua’i. Naturally, don’t forget the Luau. Luaus make for great family fun and can be seen on any of the Hawaiian islands. The fire eaters and beautiful Polynesian dancers are sure to impress children of every age group. Whatever your idea of family fun, Hawaii is sure to please.
