The Oʻahu Kids Club Guide
Scroll to Continue
Hawaiʻi is a family-friendly holiday destination thanks in part to its amazing kids clubs. The island of Oʻahu has a handful of luxury resorts providing fun-filled children programs, each one infused with uniquely Hawaiian elements. Adults can drop-off their offspring knowing that they’re going to have a blast and learn a thing or two. That can only equate to one thing, guilt-free adult time by the hotel pool!
