If you’re looking for a staycation this spring or summer break, why not spend a weekend (or more!) in Kauai with its slower pace, breathtaking hikes and beaches, and world-class resorts?
About a 30 minute drive from Lihue Airport, Kōloa Landing Resort in Kaua‘i is the perfect spot to bring the family with its expansive pool, activities, and for those with little ones, their new Kaua‘i is For Kids program. This fun scavenger hunt encourages keiki to explore the property and learn the history of sugarcane.
Upon arrival families traveling with children between the ages of three and 11 will receive a complimentary adventure pack equipped with a sun hat, binoculars, compass, and sunglasses. Children will also receive an activity book, containing fun facts about sugarcane and directions for the scavenger hunt.
The sugarcane scavenger hunt includes a map with markers that lead to seven signs around the property with fun facts about sugarcane and Kōloa’s history. Each sign is marked with a code word that unveils a secret message leading to a prize. Kids will delight running through the sports fields, searching through the pool areas, and learning something about the new place they’re visiting.
In addition to the scavenger hunt, families can enjoy the many activities found throughout the 25-acre property. Relax at the 350,000-gallon main pool, complete with an infinity edge, waterslides, swim through grotto, and meandering lagoons. Start a volleyball or soccer match or practice putting drills at the resort’s designated activity fields. Every Thursday, all are welcome to enjoy s’mores around the fire pits on the lawn.
If you’re in the mood for an adventure, Kauai has it all and you don’t need to go too far to enjoy the sights. For a day trip, head to Waimea Canyon State Park and choose the level of hike you’re comfortable doing with your kids. Make sure you take in the views at the top of the park. Pack up the family for a day at the popular Poipu Beach Park beach, conveniently right down the road.
