Ginger in Paseo del Borne - food was great (with a lot of options). Perfect for a big group! For Tapas, we enjoyed Ama Tapas Y Comida - also very accommodating to a big group!

What are the best things to do in Palma de Mallorca?

Just walking around the cathedral and waterfront area - a lot of beautiful playgrounds and great places to run around for kids! We're big tennis fans so we also loved visiting the Rafa Nadal Museum (about an hour away from Palma). The Roland Garros cafe on site was amazing - serving the best Turbot I've ever had!

What is the best tip for travelling with kids to Palma de Mallorca?

We love visiting playgrounds in new places we visit - not only are they fun spots to play and make new friends for kids, they also offer parents a chance to take a break and recharge during busy sightseeing adventures!

Katie's Travel Tips for Honolulu

What are the best places to eat and drink in Honolulu?

We loved Bali Oceanfront! Incredible view at sunset, amazing service, delicious food. We also really liked Pau Hana Place, Leonard’s for malasadas, and the fresh fruit stands.

We loved the hike at Waimea Falls, the UTV tour at Kualoa Ranch, Kailua beach is gorgeous, and we snorkeled with turtles at Paradise Cove. Diamondhead Hike was beautiful but more difficult than we expected.

What is the best tip for travelling with kids to Honolulu?

We traveled from CST, so were five hours ahead of Honolulu time. Plan your days starting early, because it likely won’t feel as early, and you will be able to see and do so much more!

Ashley's Travel Tips for Maui

What are the best places to eat and drink in Maui?

We LOVED Monkeypod Kitchen for dinner and drinks, Cinnamon Roll Place for breakfast (so yummy!), and South Maui Fish Company for lunch/fresh fish/something casual! Monkeypod had lots of options and a great environment. Cinnamon Roll Place was so yummy; we would definitely recommend the cinnamon rolls. They are magical and huge! South Maui Fish Company has a lot of hype around it, and it definitely delivered. The freshest fish and a fun spot to explore nearby!

Grab a picnic dinner and go eat it by the Eiffel Tower. We've done this for a date night for two, and now as a family. It's the most amazing and memorable activity for everyone!

Be flexible! They're exploring a new place and might have different interests and needs. It's okay to take a morning or evening off exploring. Try to lean into what they're most interested in and prioritize those activities.

Lotza!!!!! We went every single day on our trip. For breakfast, lunch or dinner. Or drinks. The owners are the nicest people on the island!

What are the best things to do in Santorini?

Yacht boat sailing tour! It was so much fun and romantic for my husband and I on our honeymoon. It was beautiful and we got to see the volcano and swim in the sea.

What is the best tip for going on your honeymoon to Santorini?

Go during off season- before May or after September because the island is much more private and less crowded. We heard about how crazy it gets in the summer and we would not have had the same romantic experience if we came in the peak busy season.

The flying fishbone by far. There are so many its hard to pick but we also loved Lola Taco and had a great experience at Papamiento.

My husband dove on both trips with Jad's and highly recommends them. I loved Akashi beach and just being in the water. Next time I want to be there for Carnival as we saw a show at the Tamrijn where we stayed and my 3 year old was just captivated. Its hard not to have a good time on this island.

LEDINH's Travel Tips for Maui

What are the best places to eat and drink in Maui?

Kihei Cafe is great for breakfast/brunch!! Line up can be long but it's pretty fast, we got a table in less than 10min. Food was very yummy and reasonably priced for cafe food. Table was not clean though, had syrup on it but quickly and easily cleaned by staff when brought up as concern. And other downfall, they did not provide water, only water available was $3 a bottle!! Other than these little things, my family and I enjoyed it. Our favourite restaurant though is Monkey Pod in Wailea! Great atmosphere and great food! It is expensive though but it's a nice treat for the family when on vacation. My 15yr old son ordered the steak special for dinner and he cleaned his plate completely! His steak was cooked perfectly just the way he asked for. And dessert was so very delicious!! Monkey Pod cream pies baked fresh daily by them. We tried the dark chocolate ganache cream pie and the blueberry cheesecake, and it did not disappoint!!

What are the best things to do in Maui?

Snorkelling was a favourite activity of ours. No need to go to those very expensive boat tours to Molokini to see fish. We snorkelled at Ulua Beach and saw plenty of fish and turtles. Kaanapali is another great place to snorkel and it's also free!

What is the best tip for travelling with kids to Maui?

Always have snacks on hand. Food is very expensive when they get hungry!!

Lake Louise hike - its so magical, even in the winter. A visit to the Sulfur Hot Springs.

What is the best tip for travelling with kids to Banff?

If you are arriving from another time zone, on the first night - be sure to take your kids to a busy pub to keep them awake and possibly sleep in. Stay in town so you can walk to the restaurants. The local IGA has "to-go" sandwiches and charcuterie which are perfect to take on a hike or the ski hills.

We love to find a nice place to watch the sunset. Also, I'm a huge beach girl so anywhere I can go to get a tan, I'm there. Some of the coolest things we've done in San Diego are: Potato Chip hike, Cowles Mountain Hike, Little Italy Farmer's market, sunrise on Coronado Beach, Paddleboarding on Mission Bay and just being outside in this amazing weather.
