An unforgettable family vacation is an effortless endeavor in Aruba. The sheer number of options, combined with the island’s safe, friendly environment and proven great weather, makes Aruba a natural choice for family vacations.
Spontaneous smiles and laughter often accompany a family adventure in Aruba. Inquisitive kids are most often enchanted with the island’s wildlife of lizards and prehistoric looking iguanas, the parakeets that streak through the sky with a bright, piercing call and the abundance of tropical fish found at snorkeling sites.
Active adventures are plentiful and range from a heart racing ride on a speedboat, the sail on a wooden “pirate ship” or a dive on a real submarine. Teenagers seeking greater challenges may want to steer their own kayak, ride a horse through the Aruban countryside or catch their own dinner on a fishing trip. An easier route for an entertaining meal is to choose from among a diverse number of cuisine offerings, from the exotic to never-fail-to-please pizza.During the DayExperience sun, sea and sandFrom the vantage point of the beach, families delight in prime views of the expanse of clear, turquoise waters stretching out and deepening to an azure blue at the horizon. The soothing sounds of the water’s ebb and flow, the brilliance of an ever-present sun and the caress of a soft wind slowly lulls sunbathers as the kids create their sandcastles and relish the refreshing splash of the waves.Water play is brought to even greater heights with waterparks presenting innovative ways to dash into cooling waters. Winding, colorful slides draw bathers as sprays of water rain down on smiling groups of adults and children as they revel in the easy joy of a day spent together.Experience overland adventuresThe slow rise of the trail reveals a landscape full of surprises with cacti-studded views opening up to reveal the stretch of rock-hewn coastline and the jump of salt spray with the incoming tide. Accompanying the scene are the reliable sounds of a horse’s hoof beat, the hum of an ATV or even the steady rhythm of your own breath as your family group travels along bike and hiking trails lined with the silent sentry of ancient rock formations.On other days, the satisfying splat of a paintball hitting its target, the thud of a ball making contact with the tennis racket or the crack of wood before a golf ball sails serenely into the distance help mark a vacation filled with memorable moments and challenges. A variety of sports captures the interests of the entire family.Experience Aruba’s animal farms/sanctuariesChildren relish their first encounter with a donkey, listening to the bray of a donkey’s welcome or feeling the soft fuzz of its snout as it nuzzles at a proffered carrot. A menagerie of different animals and discoveries await intrepid, young explorers, whether it is a visit to the Donkey Sanctuary, the Ostrich Farm, Bird Sanctuary or Butterfly Farm.During the eveningThe spotlight follows the dancer’s quick movements with the light momentarily flashing across the face of the young spectator, enthralled with the talented performer, shimmering in sequins and moving in perfect step to the vibrant Latin rhythms. The choices of live shows at the various theaters or even the latest film releases at the cinema highlight an evening family outing.Aruba’s mild evenings offer yet more opportunities for excitement, whether it is a round of eight holes on the miniature golf course or opting for the brilliant, flashing lights drawing young gamers to a game room, go-kart track or batting cages.

Hawaii Is Hot this Winter
Even Surpassing Caribbean Travel from the East Coast ... Hawaii Is hot this Winter .....
Welcome to The Inside secret on Winter Travel
We don't know anyone who has visited Hawaii who hasn't been enchanted by the beauty of this lush tropical paradise and charmed by the spirit of Aloha. Whether you seek the excitement of Oahu, the action of Maui, the beauty of Kauai, the diversity of the Big Island, or the privacy of Lanai, the islands of Hawaii offer an unforgettable experience that are sure to make you want to visit again and again.
Hawaii Trip Tip 2007:
Don't miss the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival, which runs from November 2 to November 11 this year. It's two weeks of food, parades, crafts, contests and the world's best coffee. Another great November event is the World Invitational Hula Festival -- a celebration of Hawaiian culture, language, art and history -- which takes place at the Waikiki Shell from November 8 to November 10 .
Are you going to CRUISE TO HAWAII?
Most people don't think of Hawaii as a popular cruise destination but it's the perfect way to experience all of Hawaii in just 7 days! Norwegian Cruise Line offers year-round 7-day Hawaii cruises departing from either Honolulu or Maui. Extended length seasonal cruises to Hawaii are offered by Holland America Line and Princess Cruises from September until April departing from San Diego or Los Angeles.
SEE ALL THERE IS TO SEE

So get out and explore!
TOP 10 HAWAIIAN SIGHTS There is no question that Hawaii offers endless options for fun. We are so often asked for our favorites, that we decided to list them here (in no particular order): 1. Pearl Harbor Tour 2. Old Lahaina Luau 3. Haleakala Bike Tour4. Sea Life Park 5. Kealakekua Bay Snorkel6. Mauna Kea Summit & Stars7. Molokini Snorkel Cruise 8. Ulalena 9. Na Pali Snorkel Sail 10. Polynesian Cultural Center
