• Welcome Amenities - Children up to four years old will get a kick out of Wiggles the Worm during bath time (he actually resides on your bathtub spout for the length of your stay). Keiki ages five to 10 will receive a Kahala dolphin or honu (sea turtle) stuffed animal to nestle with (both are reminiscent of the Kahala's own resident marine animals). Kids ages 11-17 will be treated to homemade chocolate chip and oatmeal cranberry cookies upon check-in.

For a fee, Keawe Adventures offer snorkel and spear fishing tours at The Kahala's beach Thursday through Monday, and canoe surfing tours on Saturday and Sunday.

For those needing to stay connected, wireless internet is accessible from both the pool and beach. For keiki, poolside entertainment (face painting, magician, balloon maker, tattoo artist) will be available in the summer.
• Keiki Club - Keiki staying at The Kahala have their very own Keiki Club. Perfect for five to 12 year olds, kids can learn about the Hawaiian Islands in a fun-filled environment.

Half-day and full day programs are available.
