Planning a Maui Honeymoon

There are many romantic luxury resorts on Maui that are perfect for honeymoons. Most offer adult-only pools, secluded beaches, and amazing spa services.

Maui also has some great nightlife, especially on Front Street in Lahaina. There are many romantic Maui restaurants, cocktail bars, and places to hear live music.

Planning an oahu Honeymoon

While there are tons of romantic restaurants in Waikiki, you’ll also find some amazing farm-to-table experiences on other areas of the island.

And if you’re hoping to do a few Oahu honeymoon activities, I suggest doing a bar crawl in Waikiki, going snorkeling, or doing a tour at Kualoa Ranch.

Maui with Kids

There are tons of fun things to do on Maui with kids. A few of our favorites include the Maui Tropical Plantation, the Maui Ocean Center, and the Surfing Goat Dairy Farm.

Plus there are several beautiful beaches perfect for young swimmers. And lots of tasty kid-friendly Maui restaurants featuring local dishes.

oahu with Kids

You won’t run out of cool things to do on Oahu with kids. Our family loves the Bishop Museum, Sea Life Park, and exploring Kualoa Ranch.

Lanikai Beach and the Ko Olina Lagoons are perfect for beach time and calm waters. And there are tons of kid-friendly Oahu restaurants and amazing shave ice spots.
