Big city amenities combine with the best the beach has to offer to make vacationing in Honolulu with tweens a near perfect experience. Located on Hawaii's Oahu Island, Honolulu has average high temperatures in the 80s with lows in the 60s, even in the middle of winter -- great weather for catching some rays, learning to surf or paddleboarding with the kids.

Vacations in Honolulu afford families countless options for entertainment -- from watching the world's best surfers tackle the North Shore's legendary waves, to visiting solemn Pearl Harbor, horseback riding on the far side of the island, or hiking up Diamond Head. Sometimes, it's hard to fit it all in! Try, though, to devote at least one day to enjoying Honolulu with your tweens. Here are a few ideas.
