362 Spring Break at Aulani

362 Spring Break at Aulani

Author: Christy Pudyk & Lake Sprenkle April 14, 2023 Duration: 57:26

Steve and his family headed to the island of Oahu this past Spring Break, where they spent a week on the island and 5 nights at Aulani. Before checking into Aulani, they visited the U.S.S. Missouri, took surf lessons on the North Shore, visited Laniakea Beach to see the turtles, explored the old town of Hale’iwa, and even dropped in at Dole Plantation for some Dole Whip. They then checked into Aulani for the last 5 days in the Islands. We discuss the check in process, the Aulani App (which actually works now), dining options, favorite lounges, running and walking paths of Ko’Olina, thoughts on their 1 bedroom villa, and of course all the fun you can have in the pools and around the Aulani Resort. So grab your sunglasses, your reef friendly sun spray, and don’t forget your Rubber Slippers (flip flops), we’re headed out for adventure around the Island of Oahu and the Beautiful Aulani Resort and Spa.
