What to Pack for Oahu with Kids: The Ultimate Family Packing List

This list contains every possible thing you might need to make your trip to Oahu smooth and relaxing. I have included items from baby age on up, so if something doesn’t apply to you - ignore it. I’ve included items if you plan to spend all day on the beach or if you have reservations to hike up Diamond Head. Items that work great if you are staying at an apartment, but might be unnecessary if you are staying at a luxury resort. So take this list as a starting point and cross things off as you go to make your perfect packing list for your family on your trip to Oahu.

A Week in Oahu with Kids: Beaches, Hikes, and Easy Island Adventures

Oahu was easily ranked my kids top places they visited in 2025. Despite not remembering many trips beyond that, it probably would still be their favorite trip they’ve ever taken. Just as importantly, it was also very enjoyable trip for us parents as well. Warm soft sand, calm beaches, spotting giant sea turtles, unique cultural adventures, and short but rewarding hikes. Oahu is an island packed with things to do with short easy drives between them. Below you will find our 7 day itinerary, activities we didn’t get to, and advice on where to stay on the island.
