We cover:

• Choosing the right island(s) for your family’s first trip
• Must-see cultural landmarks like Pearl Harbor, Iolani Palace, and the Polynesian Cultural Center
• Family-friendly resorts, from Disney’s Aulani to hidden gems across the islands
• Iconic Hawaiian dishes to try — shave ice, plate lunch, malasadas, garlic shrimp, and more
• Outdoor adventures including volcanoes, snorkeling, luaus, and mountain tubing
• Hawaiian words and phrases every visitor should know (yes, we try to say humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa! 😄)

Whether you’re planning your first visit or returning for a new island experience, this episode has everything you need to get started.
