My family consisting of 2 boys ages 8 & 10, my DH and myself absolutely loved Aulani!
We spent 12 days there and are now in Maui for 11 days.
We stayed in a Studio- ocean view, and rented DVC points. Oceanview was amazing!!!
I will give a quick run down of everything we did while in Oahu.
We did 4 1/2 resort days and the rest we were out exploring. I had planned on more resort days, but we loved Oahu so much that we did more sightseeing then we anticipated which was a good thing!
Here is what we did...
*Dole Plantation
*Pearl Harbour
*North Shore (3 times) and went to many many beaches along the North Shore. My boys also did Surfing Lessons along the North Shore and it was amazing! They loved it!
*Lanai Lookout
*Hanauma Bay
*Halona Blowhole
*Eternity Beach
*Many Lookout places
*Waikiki Beach
*Kaneohe Bay & Sandbar
*Kauila Beach and others along the way
*Paradise Cove (5 mins walk from Aulani)
We drove around a good majority of the island so we stopped at so many places!
We had a rental car the entire time and drove 948Kms in total with all the sightseeing we did!
We also experienced many Shave Ice places including the infamous Matsumotos Shave Ice.
I’ve probably forgotten things, but feel free to ask any questions! Would love to help if I can as I too got some great info from the wonderful and helpful people on this forum
We’re in Maui now, so ask away as well. We haven’t done much yet, but we plan on it lol
Aloha!!!
