Surf Lessons with Ohana Surf Project
On our third family trip to Hawaii we wanted to do something different. Travis already knew how to surf and loved it but Aurora had never tried, so we decided to take surf lessons with Ohana Surf Project.

The Royal Hawaiian Luxury Resort
I fell in love with the royal Hawaiian Hotel the first time I saw it. Besides the fact that it is pink (my favorite color) is if full of history and charm. We finally had the opportunity to stay here our third trip to the island.

Haunama Bay Nature Preserve
Haunama Bay is one of our favorite snorkel sports on Oahu. It is a very popular spot and for good reason. This gorgeous was created many years ago by a volcano and has a lush and lively reef full of tropical fish to explore.

Iolani Palace
Iolani Palace is a beautiful palace located in the heart of the city of Honolulu. The Hawaiian Monarchy once lived on these grounds and the palace is full of their history.

Lanai Lookout
The Lanai Lookout is by far one of my favorite views on the whole island. Its even more beautiful to watch a sunrise from over here. You get views of the mountains, the coast, and the ocean. The unique rock formations are so unique.

Sea Life Park
Sea Life park is a fun half day trip to explore sea life and native Hawaiian wildlife up close. It is a small park with big charm only about thirty minutes from Waikiki.

Sunrise Shack
If you're looking for a great acai bowl stoop on North Shore, Sunrise Shack is it! Smoothies, coffee, snacks and more are waiting at this cute roadside stop. It is also a great spot to snap some photos.

Shark’s Cove
Sharks Cove is one of our favorite beaches on the island to snorkel at. This kid friendly beach is a great option if you need little or no waves and shallow water. Also have no fear, there are no sharks.

Byodo-In Temple
The Byodo-In Temple is one of my favorite places to visit on Oahu. So much so that we visit on every trip. It is by far one of the prettiest places on the island and feels like a different country.

Kayaking to the Mokulua Islands
One of our absolute favorite activities from our four trips to Oahu is our Guided Kayak Trip to the Mokulua Islands with Two Good Kayaks. These small islands are off the coast of Oahu and are known for all of the sea turtles that like to hang out off the coast.
