Any child that has been to Aulani, the beautiful Disney Resort & Spa in Hawaii, won't be able to talk fast enough to describe all their favorite attractions at the resort. From Aunty's "Once Upon an Island" Storytelling to the Olelo Room where kids can learn about the Hawaiian culture, the programs at Aulani are both fun and educational. And best of all, while kids are busy with activities, you can treat yourself to a massage at the spa or a round of golf. Aulani is located in Ko Olina on the western side of Oahu, fronting a white-sand beaches and the Pacific Ocean. Take the whole family Tubing on Waikolohe Stream. The current is gentle enough for younger children or those who prefer to be more cautious. Look through the underwater window at the Rainbow Reef. Even if your kids are too young to snorkel, they can watch the fish and learn about the underwater life.
Sign up for the Catamaran Experience with Aulani Excursions and explore the ocean with an experienced guide. Head to Aunty's Beach House for Aunty's "Once Upon an Island" Storytelling. Learn about taro farming hands-on at Aulani's taro patch. Here is a view of the taro patch at night. Enjoy a sunset dinner with the whole family on the outdoor terrace at Ama'ama Beach Restaurant. Older kids and parents can take surfing lessons at the Hawaiian Fire Surf School. Head to The Olelo Room to learn about the Hawaiian culture. Kids can pick up Hawaiian words and learn about the island's diverse history. Book a family suite or a double room with a terrace so that you can relax outside with a view. The Menhue Bridge offers climbing and water play for kids of all ages. Go snorkeling in the Rainbow Reef which is home to Hawaiian fish and other marine life. Last but not least, the white-sand beach at Aulani is a fun place to kick back and relax surrounded by sand and water.
