We’ll be at WKORV-N for the first time. Have been to MOC a few times, but this time the grandsons are coming 
. They’re 11 and almost 15, so trying to organize the trip around 3 generations.
A few questions- I know there was mention of an on site luau one day and being able to see it from the pool. What day is that? Already doing luau during 3 days in Waikiki beforehand so don’t want to book another, but watching the show from the pool could be nice and we can work dinner reservations around that.
One of the activities that seemed culturally unique and thought it’d be fun is the outrigger canoe rides. I know there’s one right in front, but that accommodates 4 max so we’d have to split up, but they said they’d do it adjacent to each other. The other leaves from the Westin hotel area, and that can accommodate 5. Anyone do either of these and have feedback to share? Is it a fun excursion and is one better than the other?
Lastly, we’re going on one of the water bike excursions. Last trip did it from Lahaina area but this time from the Wailea area, which should be even better since it’s amongst the turtles. Anyway, my foodies really want to go to Humble market for dinner so would appreciate good ideas to do in the Wailea-Kihie area. Last time we were in Wailea spent hours walking the beach walk and enjoying the ambiance/hotels but my daughter and grandsons are more into activities. They’d love to surf but don’t see anyone doing lessons in Kihie in the afternoon (please let me know if anyone does afternoon surfing). Looking at activity highlights from late morning to dinner time. And maybe a decent beach locker area to change for dinner, but worst case we can change in a bathroom somewhere.
Appreciate the suggestions!
PS - any other great things to do that your kids loved? They’re not into huge car rides and
for the Road to Hana or going to Haleakala. I know there’s great snorkeling right in front and booked one of those from shore snorkeling excursions. And plan on going to the Iao needle, chocolate tour, explore Paia area (any recs in the area there for the guys to spend two hours while my daughter and I make the resin charcuterie boards at Kai Luna Creations other then heading to the beach and likely playing ball)?
