Your Guide for Things To Do in Oahu With a Baby

The Hawaiian Island of Oahu is a unique place that attracts visitors time and time again, with rural countryside views, quiet beaches, a busy city blocks away from the beach, and more. From unpaved roads to sandy beaches to famous food truck dining, Oahu is kid-friendly, but not so much in its terrain; babywearing can make navigating the island easier while ensuring you have the support you need.

Most of us will need to take a flight to Oahu, which is something else to consider when traveling with a baby. Tushbaby is TSA-approved and has a streamlined design, including the ability to fold up for easy storage and five pockets for travel and baby essentials, making it one of the best baby carriers for traveling. From the journey to Oahu to your time there, Tushbaby can make traveling with a baby more comfortable and convenient.

Let’s explore things to do in Oahu with a baby and how Tushbaby can make the outing smoother.

Fun Things To Do With a Baby in Oahu

Dole Plantation

When you visit the Pineapple State, you’ll want to stop by the Dole Pineapple Plantation. The Dole Plantation offers a fun, interactive experience to learn about pineapple cultivation, featuring tours, a corn maze, and the chance to enjoy fresh Dole Whip, making it a family favorite.

As you know, your baby can feel heavy pretty quickly, so carrying them with added support can save your back and arms and keep both of you comfortable. With four carry positions, including a feeding position, Tushbaby is the only carrier you’ll need for your trip to Oahu—and from 0-3 years old. Tushbaby wraps high and tight above the waist to evenly distribute your baby’s weight across your body, and offers a plush hip seat for baby to rest while you support them with one arm. When those little legs are on the move and babywearing time is over, fold and fasten your Tushbaby closed and tote it with our stylish Crossbody Straps to keep your carrier and essentials close.

If you need extra storage without added weight as you tour the Dole Plantation, you’ll benefit from wearing The Pack. This stylish belt bag fuses fashion with function to keep your must-haves within arm’s reach and can be worn crossbody or around the waist. Keep your things as close as your baby as you get lost in the beauty and fun of pineapples.

Waikiki Aquarium

Take a deep dive under the sea at the Waikiki Aquarium. Visiting the Aquarium is a great way to bond with your baby while exposing them to science and animals in an interactive learning environment—and Tushbaby and bonding time go hand-in-hand. As you explore exhibits like the Sea Lions or Ocean Aquaculture, Tushbaby’s open-style design allows your little one more freedom to take in their surroundings and engage with you.

When you want to switch to carrying your baby hands-free, simply attach The Snug to your Tushbaby Carrier to wear them facing in or out. The Snug is designed to be used with your Tushbaby to carry babies 12-45lbs hands-free, fusing the flexibility of babywearing with the storage and support of our hipseat. It’s the ultimate 2-in-1 carrier combo.

Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Tour

Because Hawaii is known for its glorious beaches and wildlife, why not see it firsthand? Book a Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat tour and explore the ocean's life up close and personal. Keeping your baby and belongings safe and close is essential to ensure safety on the boat tour, but of course, it’s still smart to pack lightly. Our crossbody belt bag, The Pack, is perfect for storing your boat tour necessities and comes in various colors and fabrics to build a custom look with your Tushbaby. The Pack can be worn around your waist or crossbody, allowing you to keep your things close and your hands free. Between Tushbaby’s five storage pockets and The Pack’s smart compartments, there’s no shortage of storage and support.

For extra convenience, attach our clip-on pouch, The Pod, to your Pack, Tushbaby, or purse to keep a clean paci or other small essentials quickly accessible.

Experience a luau

There’s nothing like an authentic Hawaiian luau. From the experience of roasting the pig to fire dancers, musicians, and Hawaiian culture, luaus offer fun for the whole family. Most take place on the beach, so be prepared to trudge through the sand as you enjoy the evening. You’ll likely want to keep your hands free for this—another time The Snug will come in handy. The uneven ground can cause strain on your back, especially when carrying your little one, so Tushbaby’s built-in lumbar support will be a game-changer, too. Babywearing with Tushbaby will keep your baby close while supporting you both and storing what you need—from diapers, wipes, and lotion to your keys, phone, and wallet. With the ability to convert your carrier and take advantage of the many carry positions, you can keep your baby supported and engaged in the luau.

Ready to hang loose in Hawaii? Bring your Tushbaby gear to carry your kid, stash your stuff, and support you both. Since it triples as a carrier, nursing pillow, and stylish diaper bag, Tushbaby’s versatility helps you streamline what you bring. You can babywear with flexibility while bonding with your baby, and pair Tushbaby with The Snug to babywear hands-free—it’s the ultimate 2-in-1 convertible carrier combo.
