Aloha, Maui

In April, my family traveled to beautiful Hawaii. We spent a few days in Kaanapali, on the island of Maui, and soaked up as much of the sun and surf as we could. The Honua Kai Resort and Spa was one of the most family friendly hotels we’ve been to. We saw many of the same faces day after day at the pool, beach, and the open-field areas. It was a great time of the year to go; warm, breezy, and not overcrowded.
This Banyan tree was planted in Lahaina Town in 1873. It now has 16 major trunks and the canopy covers over half an acre.
Our family made time for some adventurous activities. We took surfing lessons, went snorkeling, boogie-boarding, and took a 2 hour zip-lining tour. Seeing the beaches that we had been snorkeling at the day before from that high up was breathtaking. And thanks to my sister-in-law’s GoPro footage, we’ll be able to relive every hilarious, scary, heart-pounding moment of flying 1200 feet across a giant ravine.
Overall, Maui was an amazing place to travel as a family. We went with three generations, and there was truly something for everyone. Our two young kids loved the waves and the pools. They especially enjoyed shaved ice in Lahaina and attending their first luau. For anyone wary of traveling with little kids, I highly recommend Maui. It was an easy non-stop flight and the kids had the best time. Relaxing when we wanted it to be, but with plenty of time to try new activities and explore new places.
Zip-lining was a highlight for everyone
