Travel for Pennies

There are places in the world where bringing the kids can be a hindrance. Hawaii is definitely not one of them. On the contrary, a Hawaiian vacation can be one of the most pleasurable when you bring the whole family to enjoy all that there is to offer. There are many resorts that cater to children, offering them exceptional activities to keep them interested the entire day long. Theme parks abound as well as many educational venues that speak of the deep traditions in the Hawaiian culture. Museums and palaces are great places to visit with the family, as is the live volcano that sits on the Big Island with it ready flowing lava! Now that’s exciting! Take the family on an island-to-island cruise, on hikes through the green velvety mountainsides, on a helicopter ride to view all the islands at once, or on a horseback riding tour. Snorkeling, scuba diving, and surfing are great ways to spend the day, and you can enroll your kids in dive or surf school to get them ready for a good future in the water. Camp grounds are perfect choices and there are many beautiful parks that make it easy to camp out in comfort. There are many beaches with plenty of shade as well as picnic tables and bathrooms to make it easy for you to bring young children along. Choose one of the many Hawaii vacation packages that cater to family travel and you will see how easy it is to spend the time all together.

One of the most beautiful islands in Hawaii is Lanai.  Here snorkeling is at its best as you explore Hulopoe Bay, a famed diving spot.  With its clear blue waters, it is hard to get out of the water as it caresses your skin and soothes out all the stresses.  But there is more to do on a Lanai vacation than just this.

The Monroe Trail is an amazing destination with its breathtaking views and a 1,600 foot climb.  Just outside of Lanai city, the rustic trail reveals canyon vistas of the Maunalei gulch and neighboring island, Maui.  Head to the top of Mount Lanailhale where you will climb up to 3,368 feet.

Not to be missed is the Garden of the Gods, or Keahiakawelo, a lunar-like landscape of otherworldly rock pilings.  There is much lore around this beautiful place, and a guided tour will update you on the legends that surround it.  Hike or four-wheel drive to the site where you will experience something truly unique.

There are two championship golf courses in Lanai as well as two beautiful resorts to stay in.  Don’t take a vacation to Hawaii without at least visiting this quintessential island where you will have plenty of memories to take home at the end of your stay.
