Hanauma Bay Snorkeling in Oahu Hawaii

If you are interested in other things to include on your Oahu itinerary, here is a brief outline of what one of our trips to Hawaii looked like.  

We split our trip between Oahu and had one day in Maui.  We had some fun experiences driving in Maui to see a really cool blowhole.  Maui was so gorgeous we wished we had more time to explore it.

Oahu

We focused kid activities on Ohau such as hiking in Oahu and snorkeling in Oahu (Hanauma Bay)but also did most of the touristy stuff like the Polynesian Cultural Center, Pearl Harbor, and the Dole Pineapple Plantation as well.  We had so much fun and I know you will too!

We stayed in a few amazing Oahu resorts for families including The Disney Aulani Resort.

If you need guidance on what to pack for Hawaii, I share all my tips in my post.
