The best family activities on Kauai
Adventures from Mauka to Makai
With so many sights and landscapes, explore the best family activities on Kauai to find that perfect tour. And what the island may lack in size, it makes up for in activities. Kauai’s landscape hosts family-appropriate activities from mauka to makai at roughly thirty-three miles long and twenty-five miles wide.
Adventure through rainforests on an ATV tour or family-friendly excursions to waterfalls. And create memories you won’t forget, ziplining over jungle canopies and mountain tubing through historical irrigation systems. Explore the remote coast of Kauai on one of our snorkeling tours and come face-to-face with schools of colorful fish, sea turtles, and brilliant seascapes. Or gift your family with the cultural experience of a luau, and enjoy traditional Hawaiian food while you learn about the culture and history of the islands through mesmerizing dances.
Whether you are looking for a cultural, adventurous, or relaxing vacation, our tours provide options for all kinds of family-friendly activities. And the convenience of getting around a small island means you can fit even more into your trip!
