First Family Trip to Aulani March-April

[mindy8478]

We are a family of 5 with kids age 7,14,16. We are looking for a great snorkling/whale watching tour. I looked on Trip Advisor and found one that will be $800 for the 5 of us and they take 70 people at a time...seems very crowded. Did anyone do a whale watching/snorkeling trip they loved? Also looking for recommendations on great local places to eat that are kid friendly. I also have one kiddo interested in surfing lessons...can we do that at Aulani or do I need to look elsewhere for that?
Any favorites or trips would be appreciated.
Thank you!

I would HIGHLY recommend Wild Side Specialty Tours--just google them. They go out with just 6-12 people, and they are very conservation friendly. We had an amazing experience with them.

I have used groupons for snorkeling and parasailing. Great snorkeling is to the turtle cleaning station which is just off of Waikiki.
