On the island, there is something for everyone! From hikes, to relaxing by the pool, even exploring hidden areas of the island only accessible on an air tour. Keep reading to discover some tried and tested family friendly experiences and accommodations.

Choosing Family Friendly Accommodations in Kauai

Kauai is home to some incredible resorts, some being way more tailored to families than others. If you would like to avoid an adults-only accommodation, we recommend looking at the beachfront properties in Wailua or Koloa. These ocean-adjacent hotels are perfect for both parents and children, combining pool time with ocean time, fun in the sun with deep relaxation– the island’s your oyster!

What’s even greater about staying on a resort in Kauai is there’s no limit to the activities you’ll find! Luaus delight families with members of all ages, morning yoga is the perfect relaxation away for either mom or dad, and the water activities both within the resort and just outside on the shore are perfect for the water bugs in your household.

Take Your Family on an Air Tour of Kauai

One of the best adventures that is sure to delight the whole family is an air tour of the entire island of Kauai! Many may not realize that the island is largely inaccessible by foot, boat, or automobile. This feeds into the mystery and magic that surrounds the lush hills and valleys of the island. While an air tour does not strip away the mystique that makes Kauai so enticing, it does shed light on hidden natural phenomena that few people in history have ever witnessed. The adventure and air of discovery is the perfect adventure for the entire family to participate in– both old and young! Either look at the top rated, trusted, helicopter tours on the island or speak with a concierge at one of the family friendly resorts on Kauai to find out more about booking your experience. 

Uncover Kauai’s Magic With the Entire Family

As mentioned, the majority of the island of Kauai is impossible to see any other way than an air tour of the island. While embarking on a helicopter or private plane adventure with the entire family is surely the experience of a lifetime. Other fun family activities around the island are a snorkel tour aboard a trusted local boat, or even a family hike– both permitting that you and the family are skilled to embark on both safely.

As you may have come to realize, a well-planned family vacation to Kauai can be a fantastic opportunity to bond, create cherished memories, and experience the beauty of Hawaii together.
