Aloha Reader! I've been getting a LOT of questions lately about visiting Hawaii in February, so I wanted to address this directly. The short answer: Yes. February is actually one of my favorite times to visit Hawaii with kids. The longer answer: Visiting Hawaii in February with family → This guide covers everything you need to know:
Here's what nobody tells you: February is when a lot of locals vacation within Hawaii. That's usually a good sign. 😊 The water is slightly cooler, but still totally swimmable. You might see a few more rainy days than summer, but it rarely ruins plans. And the biggest win? Fewer crowds and better prices than peak season. If you're considering a February trip – whether it's this year or next – that guide will help you plan smarter. And once you've decided on February, the next question is usually "which island?" For families specifically, start here: Oahu or Kauai - best for kids? → Happy planning! Marcie P.S.

People come into our call a little embarrassed, like they should have figured it all out on their own by now. They...
Aloha Reader, New episode just went live today. My friend Kim Fidler took her family to the North Shore of Oahu for spring break. It was her kids' first time in Hawaii. She did not start with Waikiki. I sat down with her to get the full trip report — what made her choose the North Shore, what surprised her, what she'd do differently, and whether it was the right call for a first trip with kids. Thirty-eight minutes of real talk from someone who just got back. Listen on Apple Podcasts | Listen...
Aloha Reader, If you've been to Waimea Valley, you already know the waterfall is worth it. The 45-foot cascade at the end of the trail is one of those North Shore moments families talk about for years. But this summer, Waimea Valley is offering something I haven't seen there before. A Sunrise Tour that starts at 7:30am, before the Valley opens to the public. You get exclusive early access, a guided walk through the botanical gardens, and you're among the first people to swim under that...
