Oahu, Hawaii | Activities For The Entire Family
Table of Contents
A trip to Hawaii had always been my dream vacation. I am so grateful and thankful that this dream became a reality. We visited two islands: Oahu, which you will see on this post and Maui, which you can find on another post. There were so many photos and experiences that I had to break it down. Because I am a teacher, the only real time I have to travel is during the summer. So we did. Here is our journey:
Pearl Harbor
Diamond Head
Be prepared for a nice hike, especially if you’re not that fit! Get some good walking shoes, a water bottle, and you’ll be ready to tackle Diamond Head on this beautiful island of Hawaii. It is absolutely gorgeous and it will be worth it…I promise! It’s a lot easier going down. The next 8 photos are of Diamond Head.
Polynesian Cultural Center
Kualoa Ranch
- Chinaman Hat Island
Dole Plantation
Dole Plantation is the pit stop to pure refreshing goodness! Among the cool breezes of Hawaii, this plantation has many things to offer. Your children will have a blast (stay together if they’re young) exploring the next turn of the pineapple garden maze! This place has it all for a nice family morning or an afternoon getaway. From the maze, train tour, garden tour, and food you will be pleased. But, in my opinion, one of the best things you can order at their grille the pineapple float! It is to die for, especially after the maze! Check out their menu here: Dole Plantation Menu
Hanauma Bay
Hanauma Bay is at the top of my list of one of the most gorgeous beaches you could EVER visit not just in Hawaii, but anywhere! I recommend you go EARLY in the morning before they open to avoid congestion and to get the best snorkeling. They are a state park so they do have a minimal fee to enter. We arrived very early and had the entire beach to ourselves for a little while, which was breathtaking! The snorkeling was fantastic because of the coral reef habitat.
