Hanauma Bay, Oahu. Credit: chdwckvnstrsslhm.<\/p><\/div>For the ultimate in beach vacations<\/a> and family fun, plan a Hawaiian vacation<\/a> that includes at least a day to enjoy Wet\u2019n\u2019Wild Hawaii<\/strong> in Oahu<\/a>. Forget that there are enough water rides to soak you head to toe a thousand times over — with names like Island Racer, Flyin’ Hawaiian, and Raging River, you’ll find yourself reaching for a towel before you even set foot in the water. Even beach vacations require fun diversions, and Wet’n’Wild offers a great way to spice up your Oahu experience. You and the family will have a blast enjoying all of the slides and soakers by day, but here’s the really cool part: plan to cap the day off with Wet\u2019n\u2019Wild\u2019s Dive\u2019n\u2019Movies<\/strong> — a genius name and an even more brilliant idea by any measure\u2014and the sort of thing movie lovers like me lose their heads over.<\/p>\n

Picture floating on a tube in a giant wave pool under the stars and watching the latest blockbuster release projected on a giant 50′ x 32′ floating screen. Warm Hawaiian breezes, smiling sun-kissed kids, watching a great flick while you laze in the water — this is the stuff of great family vacation<\/a>s.<\/p>\n
