Maui is one of the most popular Hawaiian Islands for families thanks to gorgeous beaches and easy logistics. Its beachfront family-friendly resorts offer plenty of activities for all ages.
In addition to eating traditional foods like roasted pork, Lomi salmon, and poi, your family will experience ceremonies, traditional Hawaiian songs, ritual chants, fire dancers, and traditional hula dances.
Molokini is a small volcanic atoll just off the south coast of Maui. It’s known for great snorkeling and scuba diving as it’s a State Marine Life and Bird Conservation District.
Spending a day at the Maui Ocean Center is a superb activity in Maui with kids for taking a glimpse of the underwater world without a snorkel.

Most have gentle ocean waves ideal for swimming, sunning, and paddle sports to complete your Hawaii vacation. For example, Kapalua Bay Beach has excellent snorkeling.
