Epic Family Itinerary
For families traveling with kids 13+
You and your family love to dive in with both feet, whether you’re exploring on land or in the water. Imagine horseback rides along the beach, snorkeling at Shark’s Cove, exploring Kahuku's famed food trucks, and experiencing a luau like you've never seen before at Paniolo. We’ll keep you and your crew entertained, busy, and on-the-go from morning to glorious Hawaiian sunset.
Day One
- Check into your ocean view room and quickly settle in before heading out for your first adventure.

Day Two
- Wake up bright and early. Grab freshly brew coffee and acai bowls from Hoʻolana.
