If land activities are more your, style then hiking through the rain forest or biking up the mountains is available. For extremists Oahu offers parachuting.

You can also rent outrigger canoes, surfboards and other beach gear on Waikiki Beach. Another hot spot is Kapiolani Park for tennis, archery, and jogging enthusiasts. No matter where you are on Oahu there will be plenty for you and your family.

Want to add a little romance to your beach vacation? There are a variety of options from renewing your wedding vows to luxurious beach services at one of the several hotels, such as spa treatments. If you’ve never tasted pink beer or champagne you might want to check out Mai Tai Bar.

A more secluded beach vacation spot on Oahu is Kahala Mandarin Oriental Hotel, which is ten minutes from Waikiki Beach. The hotel has a long sandy beach for those walks or simply to get a little sun. You can also swim with the dolphins at this hotel, which is something everyone is sure to enjoy.

Are you more family oriented, then you might look into the children’s programs at Waikiki Beach hotels, hands on programs, or water sports. The Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium, and Sea Life of Hawaii are a few other attractions the whole family can enjoy, especially for the younger children.

Museums, historical attractions, and several cultural exhibits are available for those interested in the Hawaiian Culture. With several villages and cultural exhibits you will be able to learn quite a bit about the Hawaiian way of life. Hawaii is always a hot destination for the perfect vacation. Your whole family will enjoy the trip and wish to return.
