If you do go, you'd probably like the Botanical Gardens, Volcano National Park, and maybe the observatory on Mauna Kea (depending on your child). The good thing about the Big Island is that it's nice for seeing volcanic action, but your child is young enough that that won't hold his or her attention very long.

The Big Island has almost no child-friendly beaches, way fewer good restaurant choices, and is much more impoverished (I saw a lot of cars in parking lots with smashed windows when I was there). There is a lot to do, there are a lot of other babies and children, and the restaurants are much easier for family-friendly dining. Of the two islands, I found Maui MUCH more child-friendly. We didn't have problems with the wind either time, though Mauna Kea on the Big Island was very windy near the base when we took the Saddle Road. I can't speak to Oahu or Kauai, though I've had friends with children older than yours who liked them. I've been to Maui in early April and the Big Island in early August. Oh, and waters are warmest in July and August, but airfares are also highest! Hawaiian For Kauai, I'd recommend somewhere on the south side of the island. Check out the Ihilani or Ko'olina or Aulani if you want less crowded O'ahu. Each of those islands have beaches with break waters that are good for kids. Anyway, if you want nice calm beaches, you should go to O'ahu or Kauai. Hawaii in general is not windy, so I think you just hit some bad luck there-unless you mean trade winds-which are really breezes. Did we go in the wrong month or is it always that windy there? What island would you recommend for going for a family vacation in April/May (we have a preschooler)? Ideally, we'd want to stay somewhere with a nice sandy beach, warm ocean without big waves and where it's not windy. We were in Wailea, in South Maui, which is supposed to be the least windy. We went to Maui in early May last year, and while it was very beautiful, it was very very windy and the ocean was somewhat cold. Maui was too windy - did we go in the wrong month? All the sitters we used were experienced, engaging, polite and reliable. We have had great experiences with the Nanny Connection in Maui. However, they are somewhat pricey ($18/hr for one child, with $4/hr more for each addtl child), with a 3 hour minimum). I checked them out on Yelp and they got great reviews. We are going to Maui at the end of this month and are going to be using The Nanny Connection, as recommended by our travel consultant. We had the same nanny both times she was always right on time (even at 5:15 a.m.) and great with my toddler.
for one child (which is right around what we pay at home). The nanny comes straight to you (hotel, condo, etc.) They are $19/hr. You call, tell them when you need someone and where, and they send you the name/contact information/other information about your nanny. It's a nanny referral service and they were great. I was referred to the Nanny Connection by a coworker. We recently came back from 7 days in Maui and I had the same question before we left. Thanks very much in advance! Looking forward to the beach
Do any of you happen to have any recommendations for a specific babysitter or a service that you have used while in that area? I am going to call local hotels for referrals but would love to have a personal recommendation. We would like to hire a babysitter to watch our children for at least one evening while we are there. We are staying in Maui, specifically near Lahaina, in August.
