7 Top Things to Do with Kids in Ko Olina

1. Build a sandcastle

As I said earlier the sand in the lagoons of Ko Olina are soft and clear of debris. The sand is also a bit moist because the tide rises high up on the beaches in this area. Because of this, it is really easy to build an epic sand castle, the sand actually sticks.

2. Teach kids how to snorkel

My son and I love to snorkel, he has been doing it since he was 4 years old. The water is so still in this area and there is little to no current. This makes it the perfect spot to teach a kid how to snorkel.

3. Cool off at the beach

The sun in Honolulu and actually all of Hawaii is bright and hot. At around 1pm your are going to want to have the kids shaded or in the water. The beaches in Ko Olina or the pools at the hotels in the area are the best place for them to be around this time. Our kids go in and out of the water to cool off throughout the day.
