I’m planning on booking a trip for next year to Oahu. This package only includes the hotel - no airfare, no transportation, no daily dining credits. Literally just the room. I have 2 kids but when I add them, it tackles on an extra 2k. Is it really necessary to add my kids on this booking? Has anyone avoided adding members of their party to their Costco booking and check in just fine?

Would like to go in June 2027. Does anyone have planning advice? Is there a certain time booking is less expensive or that there is deals?

Holiday deals or spring deals for summer. was thinking Costco also.

Family of 5

I’m planning a Hawaii trip with my family for second week in February. My family wants to go somewhere that we can surf and snorkel. I started surfing less than a year ago and my boyfriend started a few years before that. My brother has gone a handful of times but isn’t experienced. Basically, I’m looking for somewhere safe with relatively small waves. Sandy beaches are preferred of course.

Reading other posts it seems like Waikiki is a good spot for us. We were originally looking at the big island. Is that a no go for our time of year?

Outside surfing and snorkeling would be great to find a place with good food and other stuff to do too. Also, my family really doesn’t like crowds and will likely be turned off by anything too crowded. Online it looks like Waikiki is super crowded/touristy/a bunch of resorts or hotels bunched together. Any other recommendations on any island for easy surf locations in Feb other than Waikiki?

I wanna SUP Ala Moana like in my old days when I use to go in the mornings and afterwork with a hardboard mount on atop of my 1998 Isuzu Oasis. Where I can rent a board there for a couple of hours. Prefer hard or iSUP is okay. Staying at the Park Shore in Waikiki from this Friday to Monday.
