Kauai, Hawaii
Kauai is the ultimate destination for families seeking to immerse themselves in the unique charm of Hawaii and explore the island's awe-inspiring natural beauty. Begin your journey of discovery with interactive exhibits at the Kauai Children's Discovery Museum, a place where kids of all ages can learn and engage in fun educational activities. Then, venture to the picturesque Wailua River State Park for a serene kayak tour or a challenging hike to the peak of Mount Waialeale—the wettest spot on earth.
Dalmatian Coast, Croatia
Next, uncover the cultural treasures of Croatia's western coastline, a perfect family-friendly European destination. With its vibrant local culture, breathtaking natural wonders, pristine waters, and UNESCO Heritage Sites, the Dalmatian Coast is ideal for families. The coast is dotted with 79 islands, and island hopping by ferry is a fun adventure. Begin your journey in the coastal city of Zadar, a haven for sailing in the spectacular azure waters of the Kornati Archipelago. Children can marvel at the unique Sea Organ, which creates music through the motion of the waves, and the Sun Salutation, a solar-powered light installation that paints the night with colorful patterns.
A UNESCO Heritage site, Split is about an hour south of Zadar. Children will be mesmerized by the town's medieval buildings, centuries-old churches and forts, and 3,500-year-old Egyptian sphinx statues. Split is not just a city—it's a living museum waiting to be explored. It's also a fantastic spot for a beach day with its shallow waters.
