"As the mom of a rambunctious nine-year-old, the way I decide on travel destinations has notably changed over the years. These days I'm looking for places that are easy to get to-one stop ideally-with lots of things to do that are engaging for both a restless kid and me. (I can be restless too.) Even better if some of these activities can be found at family-friendly hotels, where I can lounge by the pool with a mai tai while my son is happily occupied."
"Every island has something unique to offer traveling families-and things change by the season. The hotter, drier south shores are spectacular year-round; summer brings calmer waters to the north coastlines, which is great-and safer-for snorkeling and swimming; and you can't go wrong with a beach vacation in the Islands. Most beach towns have great boutiques and eateries, all within walking distance."
Parents traveling with active children prioritize easy access, short flights, and a variety of engaging activities for both kids and adults. Hawaii offers beaches, hiking, festivals, indoor playgrounds, shops, and restaurants with kid-friendly options that appeal to families. Desirable hotel features include flexible check-ins and check-outs, on-site children’s activities, add-ons like cribs and strollers, babysitting services, and appealing pools. Seasonal differences affect where to go: south shores are reliably good year-round while north coastlines calm in summer for safer swimming and snorkeling. True all-inclusive resorts are not common, though some properties offer bundled packages and experiences.
