Hawai’i will never stray far from the top of the list when it comes to family-favorite vacation destinations. And why should it? With beaches in every direction, stunning scenery everywhere you look and fun cultural experiences at every turn, there is not really a reason for family travelers to avoid this beautiful island state. But the age-old question remains: Where should we stay?

 

Aston Waikiki Beach Tower gives families an easy answer. Located in Honolulu on the island of Oahu, this property lets families experience a home away from home with a condominium vacation rental just minutes from world-famous Waikiki Beach. The property provides resort-style living but with the privacy and space ideal for families, especially those with young children.

The spacious rentals have floor-to-ceiling windows so you can fully take advantage of the Hawaiian sunshine and large balconies overlooking the beach let you enjoy family meals with a spectacular view. This home-like design also comes with plenty of resort-style amenities you’ll want to take advantage of, like swimming pools (temporarily closed for repairs at the time of publication, but will be open again this fall) and sun deck — just in case the world-class beach just a few minutes’ walk from your front door doesn’t do it for you.

 

The recreation deck features plenty of open areas for lounging with family and friends and barbecues for creating your own cookout. The billiards room is great for family game night, and then there are experiences designed with families in mind. On-site offerings include weekly hula classes, lei-making classes and ukelele lessons, so families can immerse themselves in Hawaiian culture. And because fitness is something that often gets overlooked on vacation, the property also offers introductory yoga classes once a week in the on-site fitness center.

Aston Waikiki Beach Tower is the perfect launching pad for your Oahu trip, letting you set up a home base that gives you a taste of living in Waikiki. From there, you are able to easily access all of Oahu’s best attractions, from world-famous beaches to historic sites like Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial and everything in between. Don’t forget to go shopping at International Market Place or swimming with dolphins at Sea Life Park.

Brave an Alpaca Stampede in Central Oregon

Alpacas are all the rage lately, and for good reason. They are adorable and, when you feed them, it feels like little bunny kisses in the palm of your hand. In other words, visiting an alpaca farm is a great activity for family travelers. In Central Oregon, at Crescent Moon Ranch in the city of Terrebonne, you can pay a visit to these fluffy, gentle creatures at a working alpaca farm. While the owners of the ranch raise alpacas for show, breeding and sale, visitors can walk the farm from pen to pen to feed the alpacas. While you can’t go in the pens, they will run to the fence, eager to get a few bites of the food pellets available for purchase at the on-site shop. The trick is making sure every animal gets a share of the food instead of just the bullies trying to hog the spotlight.
