5 Family Adventures in Hawaii
Put the phones down and make memories to last a lifetime with these thrilling activities on the island of Hawaii.
The Family That Rappels Down a Waterfall Together…

If you go, remind each other to take time, admire the view and not get caught up in the adrenaline of rappelling. I had a glimpse of a rainbow in the water as I descended and I tried to stop several times just to enjoy it.

The Family That Watches the Sun Rise Together…

It’s beautiful, peaceful and freezing cold. Parkas are provided but come dressed in layers and wear thick socks. With a 20 percent loss of oxygen, there’s the possibility of altitude sickness and children under the age of 13 are not permitted. But the tour does stop at 9,000 ft. to get acclimated, sip some hot cocoa and stargaze.
The Family That Treks Over Lava Fields Together…

Walking over cooled lava is very different than hiking over rocks. Nearly half the material makeup of lava rock is glass and it crunches just like glass under your feet. Wear sturdy hiking boots or shoes you don’t mind getting scraped up. In the sunlight, the brittle rock shimmers with an iridescent rainbow glitter, but as pretty as it is, don’t touch it. And don’t take a rock. It’s considered bad luck to remove natural elements from the island.

The Family That Hikes Through a Crater Together…

The Family That Snorkels Together…

If you’ve got family prone to seasickness, the resort’s King’s Pond is a great ocean alternative. It’s like swimming in your own giant aquarium. The 1.8 million gallon pond features more than 4,000 tropical fish and nearly 100 different species. And for little ones (or adults) who hate the way snorkel gear feels or haven’t mastered snorkeling just yet, the resort has special kick boards with see-through windows so you can view the colorful fish without getting fully immersed.
