During our visit to aulani, we did a few excursions. This one was called the Majestic Circle Island Tour. The pictures here are only part of this day. I’ll share other parts in different posts. Discover all of O‘ahu’s grandeur on this tour.
Explore lush scenery & vibrant coastlines as you venture around the island…..from historical sites & mountain temples to majestic waterfalls & sprawling pineapple plantations, there’s so much to experience! During this adventure you will wind through the mountains before stopping at the Nu’uanu Pali Lookout. This is where an epic cliffside battle took place leading to the unification of the Hawaiian Islands under King Kamehameha. Then you will be able to mediate on the peaceful scenery & exquisite architecture of Byodo-In Temple, a Buddhist refuge situated in the mountains, away from the hustle of the main road. There will also be time to sample local snacks like macadamia nuts & Hawaiian chocolate or browse a selection of rich coffee beans at Tropical Farms of Hawaii, a quaint country store. Then, stop for lunch at a local spot determined by your tour guide. On adventures like these, you never know what surprises await! Your tour guide may add additional stops as you continue your journey.

Besides the delicious cuisine, it’s a character breakfast!! What a great for kids of all ages….0-99!!! And best of all, you start your morning off meeting Mickey himself!!! After your meet & greet & photos with Mickey, you’ll be escorted in to breakfast & you meet Goofy on the way. Enjoy a casual family-friendly preset 3-course breakfast. And while you dine you’ll be visited by Max & Pluto as well! This meal was delicious & fun….. definitely something everyone in your party will enjoy!!!

Let’s continue our review of my family’s trip to Aulani. We did a few excursions while we were there. And this one was definitely a favorite & by far the most impactful. We did a 4 hour Pearl Harbortour (there is also a 7 hour option). On this adventure you will depart from Aulani to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam—formerly known as Pearl Harbor Naval Base. Along the way, listen as your guide shares local stories & interesting tidbits of history, setting the scene for the tour. At the base, you will be guided through Hawai’i’s contributions to the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument.
Board a US Navy shuttle boat that will take you to the USS Arizona Memorial.
Enter the new Pacific Historic Parks Pearl Harbor Visitor Center to see artifacts, replicas & media displays that explain the events leading up to the attack. This tour will reconstruct the moments of the attack on Pearl Harbor & allow you to imagine how its impact rattled O‘ahu & the rest of the world. This is a moving & memorable tour of paradise interrupted as you are immersed into the “date that will live in infamy.”

At Makahiki you will dine on the lanai overlooking a koi pond or sit inside amid the colorful décor. This restaurant is casual & family-friendly. It is named for the Makahiki season, the traditional Hawaiian celebration of the harvest. The spirit of Makahiki is celebrated through delectable cuisine & local artwork. Throughout the restaurant the story of the Makahiki season is told thru elegant glass designs & jewel-toned murals. As day turns to night, the restaurant’s lighting gradually turns from rose to indigo with the setting of the sun. When you have dinner at Makahiki you will enjoy a casual & family-friendly preset 3-course dinner featuring fresh local ingredients & chef-inspired dishes. There are several options for each course…..you will choose one starter, entrée, & dessert. We enjoyed our dinner, but dessert was everyone’s favorite. Between the 6 of us we tried all 3 desserts! Peep the pictures……& make sure to look for the hidden Mickeys. ✨😉°o°💗

Upgrading to a stateroom with Oceanview Verandah is something we highly recommend. It’s so nice to have your own private, outdoor space - plus the views when you’re at sea or pulling into port are just breathtaking 🥹

We’ll be setting sail on the Disney Wish in just 10 days and we cannot wait to sit on our balcony with some Mickey Waffles 🤩

There is so much to do when you visit Aulani. During our trip we booked a couple of tours/experiences off the resort. The first one was the North Shore Experience…..it was labeled as moderately active. Honestly, it pushed me out of my comfort zone. The first thing we did was kayak up the river & back. I don’t have any pictures of that because we left our phones on the bus ( didn’t want them to end up submerged or lost🤣). Anyway, during our kayaking we saw a juvenile manta ray & a few sea turtles!! So beautiful & moving! Another part of the experience took us to Waimea Falls Park. We enjoyed a beautiful walk through the botanical garden on our way to the Falls. There we were able to swim in the falls! I’m telling you, this day brought me to tears (happy tears) more than once! Seriously, memories of a lifetime were made!!!

Walt Disney Imagineers worked hand in hand with local artisans & cultural experts to design Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. This resort is inspired by the natural wonders & rich traditions of Hawai‘i. It is the ultimate family getaway—celebrating the beauty, history & welcoming spirit of the island.

Aulani is perfectly positioned on the beautiful beaches of Ko Olina on the leeward coast of O‘ahu. The Resort sits on 21 oceanfront acres & is nestled between mountains & the ocean. “Ko Olina” means “Place of Joy.” Part of an original royal land division, Ko Olina was once a sacred area for Hawaiian monarchs & leaders to rest & unwind. Today, the area is an inviting vacation destination for those seeking relaxation.

Ōlelo (pronounced oh-leh-low) is Hawaiian for “word,” or “to converse”—& The ‘Ōlelo Room certainly celebrates the Hawaiian language. Here, the décor features wooden carvings of common objects, with labels that convey their Hawaiian names. The outdoor patio overlooks a shimmering koi pond. Enjoy the soothing sounds of Hawaiian music, performed live each night on the patio, weather permitting.

During our stay at Aulani we were able to get dining reservations at ‘AMA‘AMA. We had looked forward to this since the restaurant reopened recently. ‘AMA‘AMA is designed to resemble a beachside house. Its spacious dining room features a thatched roof, mosaic designs, a fountain and a reflecting pool. New light fixtures inspired by traditional Hawaiian fish baskets and an alluring central light fixture composed of fin-like elements that swim above the entrance, enhance the connection between the restaurant and its namesake, the ‘ama‘ama fish—historically the most abundant and vital fish of Hawai‘i. We had a fabulous time at this open air restaurant!!
