Hi everyone- trying to plan a family trip to Hawaii. We've been to Ko'Olina, Maui Marriott and Waiohai, and loved all for different reasons. We'd also be open to the Westin in Princeville if that area would be better. Want to take daughter and grandsons, aged 10 and 14 next summer. My daughters and grandsons want to be able to surf, with my daughter a bit experienced and the kids learning. Obviously want an area with lessons. Besides the obvious Waikiki area on Oahu, what areas on each of the islands are good for learning to surf/availability off lessons and appropriate calm waves for beginners?
I know on Maui lots of kids boogie board in front of the Marriott Maui (not my grandsons' thing) but I'm not sure about the surfing. It's not something we do, so other than liking to watch I never paid attention to the details.
Each island has lots of other things for the kids/family, and I'd definitely plan at least a day or two layover in Oahu if we don't stay at Ko'Olina for Pearl Harbor, etc., so please base recommendations on the surfing, since they're both psyched to surf in Hawaii . We're on the East coast so it's a long trip.so want to make this really special for all.
The dates for our August 3BR reservation at the Surf Club won't work for them so trying something different, and hoping to find a good trade in II, so obviously would consider multiple places,
