Our trip is over and we are home safe after our flight was delayed 6 hours. Sunday was Pearl Harbor and Swap meet Monday was a beach picnic at the lagoon at Aulani, paddleboard and kayak, boogie boards and sand toys. Tuesday was checking out of Aulani and heading towards Waikiki for one...

As many have already said, Kauai is beautifully green and lush, but it seems like the whole island shuts down at 8pm. Unless you stay in Poipu, where there's a little more "night life", be prepared to be in your hotel or house at night with not much to do. I've been to Kauai multiple times and...

I guess because it was a friday the traffic seemed a bit more congested. Nonetheless today was a busy day. First Hanauma Bay from around 830-11am, then Sea Life Park til 130pm and Kualoa Ranch Movie Sites tour from 3-430pm. Wet n Wild was open til 9pm today so we made it there around 530-730pm...

Today was North Shore day. We started at Dole Plantation, just to look around, feed the fish and have a Dole Whip. Next was Waimea Beach with the large rock that everyone jumps off of. Almost 40 years old and I survived the jump lol. The waves at the beach are very strong so we didn't stay there...

This is actually my 3rd time to Aulani. First was in 2012, then 2013 and this week. The additions to the resort have been great. The Ulu cafe is a convenient spot for refills and breakfast. The new grotto is a good break from the main pool, hasn't been busy at all. We've found seats by the new...

We got in Tuesday late afternoon. Everything has been great. Our 3 grandmas of the group did a tour around the resort and learned a bunch of interesting facts. Our 6yr old DD did Stitch's Space Goo and had a blast, went back for a couple hours of free time at Auntie's later in the day. It's a...

Anybody at Aulani now or will be there soon? Can you please post a pic of the Daily Iwa? We are there June 16-23. I'd like to have an idea of what's going on there ahead of time! TIA

amw1064, can you post a pic of the Daily Iwa when you get to Aulani? We get there right after you do and I'd like to see the schedule of events for that week. Thanks!!

Too bad that food won't last 12 days til I get there! Hope you had a great time there!

Several locations to trade pins at Aulani, Kalepa's Store (gift shop), concierge desk, DVC member center, and a couple more I think.

The East side of the island has a lot to offer as well. Look into Kualoa Ranch, Lanikai Beach, Hanauma Bay, Sea Life Park. People watching in Waikiki is also fun, there are many street performers at night on the main street, Kalakaua Ave.

There is a Turtle Bay on the North Shore and the beach adjacent to the Aulani is not called turtle beach, it's just a small hike/walk to the right of resort where turtles have been known to hang out.

The easiest hike/walk to see a waterfall is Waimea Valley, up near North Shore. Manoa Falls hike is pretty easy too but it can get very wet/muddy if it rains or has rained recently. Manoa Falls is up in the hills above Honolulu. Not sure about PCC activities, I've heard it's an all day thing...

If you're using points to stay, your room key will have parking programmed into it, you will not need your DVC card for that. You will need the DVc card for discounts at the gift shop and food etc.

In addition to breakfast in your room, you should try to buy enough groceries for a few dinners in your room too. If you limit your spending to one meal outside of your room per day, $100 a day is doable.

There is no better value than the Go Oahu Card. Costco has the 4 day card for the price of a 3 day on the regular website, about $168

Costco has the Go Oahu card for $169 for a 4 day pass, which is usually the price of a 3 day. So far we've got Wet n Wild, Kualoa Ranch Movie Tour, Waikiki Ocean Club, Waimea Valley, Dole Plantation and Snorkel North Shore scheduled for 3 of the days. The 4th day we'll probably do something...

Between my family, my wife's family and my cousins family, we are going to have about 20 people staying at Aulani June 16-23. We got pretty lucky with reservations, my wife and I own at Aulani, so we booked a 2 bdrm villa standard view 11 months out. My mom and cousin own at Saratoga Springs and...
