Kauai Atv

We’re going to Kauai for the 3rd time and Kids want to check out other Islands. Suggestions?

Our kids, 16, 18 & 21 like to jet ski, ride ATVs, etc. Cross Canadian Ragweed type music. We’ll be in Kauai for 12 days and I think they need to see the other islands. What is the best way to island hop? Should we try to stay a couple of nights on a different island? Or just try to fly round trip and sightsee in 1 day? What islands do you suggest? I would like them to see Pearl Harbor…but not sure they would like it. How far in advace do we need to schedule interisland flights? If we did stay overnight, would it be hard to find a place to stay? We’re scheduled to go in July. There would be at least 5 of us flying interisland, but could be as many as 12
Will lodging be hard to get? My father in law has house in Kauai, so the trip is pretty laid back…do i need to schedule lodging & flights before trip? Or can we just decide one day to make the trip?

You really can’t go wrong on any of the islands! To island hop look for deals through Hawaiian airlines, it isn’t that expensive. Last time we went to Kauai for a week, then took a charter plane to the Big Island. We stayed there for three nights. On the Big Island we went to Volcano National Park, saw the lava flows (which are amazing at dusk!), went to a luau, and explored the island. From there we went to Oahu for two nights and stayed on the strip in Waikiki for shopping and more of a nightlife. We went to Pearl Harbor and my siblings and I were around those ages and although it wasn’t extremely exciting it was something neat to see. Just make sure you go early in the morning because it is first come first serve and you may wait for a long time. It wasn’t hard for us to find places to stay, but we did make reservations in advance. Enjoy your trip!
