Seattle, WA – March 3, 2026 – As families across Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, and Alaska begin securing summer travel plans, Seattle-based Certified Hawaii Destination Expert Marcie Cheung has launched a new Personalized Hawaii Travel Consultation service designed to help families plan smarter, more realistic island vacations.
Founder of Hawaii Travel with Kids, Cheung has spent the past decade helping families navigate the increasingly complex process of planning a trip to Hawaii. With direct flights from major West Coast cities making the islands one of the region’s most accessible long-haul destinations, demand for family-friendly hotels, rental cars, and high-demand activities continues to rise during peak summer months.
“Many West Coast families assume Hawaii is simple to plan because it’s just a nonstop flight away,” said Cheung. “But choosing the right island, understanding seasonal differences, and building a realistic itinerary takes more strategy than people expect. I work with families to make sure their trip fits their timeline, budget, and energy level.”
Through her new Personalized Hawaii Travel Consultation, Cheung provides one-on-one guidance tailored to each family’s priorities. Sessions include island selection strategy, realistic daily pacing recommendations, hotel and resort guidance, transportation considerations, and curated suggestions for kid-friendly activities.
Unlike general travel advisors, Cheung approaches Hawaii travel planning from the perspective of a long-time repeat visitor who understands real-world logistics. After more than 40 trips to Hawaii over the past 30 years, she has developed expertise in helping families avoid common planning mistakes such as attempting too many islands in one trip, underestimating drive times, or selecting accommodations that don’t function well for families of five.
Hawaii Travel with Kids reaches approximately 100,000 monthly readers and serves an email community of 11,000 subscribers. Cheung also hosts the Hawaii Travel Made Easy podcast, which receives approximately 5,000 downloads per month and focuses exclusively on Hawaii travel planning. She is the author of multiple Hawaii travel guides available on Amazon and has been featured in national media, including The New York Times.
Consultations are intentionally limited to five families per week to ensure thoughtful, customized itinerary guidance during peak planning season.
