My kids loved taking a surf lesson and the guides are so good at their jobs, they can typically pop up at some point during the lesson. There’s no better place to take a surf class than Hawaii. Many offer private or group surf lessons.

Kilauea Lighthouse and Wildlife Refuge

The Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuse is one of the best places to see wildlife like spinner dolphins, Hawaiian monk seals, birds, native  Hawaiian coastal plants, and more. Our family loved this.
