FUN FAMILY ACTIVITIES ON OAHU

Explore all of Oahu island has to offer!
When it comes to spending quality time, we have you covered for the best things to do in Oahu with a family. Take a road trip to the North Shore, where the Polynesian Cultural Center awaits your family. Discover thousands of years of cultural customs by learning Polynesian dances, drumming, and canoe paddling. Afterward, attend a live performance that will captivate your family’s imagination. Or partake in a feast for the senses at a traditional luau. Whichever one you choose, your family will learn to dance the hula, eat authentic Hawaiian food, and be entertained by traditional musicians and dancers. From the moment you arrive until you leave, your family will experience an action-packed evening of fun, feasting, and aloha. Get the entire family active by kayaking across the turquoise ocean. When you paddle out to Kāneʻohe Bay, jump into the pristine water and peer into the lives of majestic sea creatures like fish, turtles, and dolphins. It’ll be your family’s private oasis. Don’t let the fun stop there. Hop on a helicopter tour to explore unbeatable views of Diamond Head, Waikiki, the North Shore, and more. The experience will bring your family closer together.
