[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hawaii? You can definitely snorkel from shore.

I have not been but perhaps  you could explore the Virgin Islands (for a shorter flight).[/quote]

Kids that age are not going to transition well to a 6 hr time change.  Keep it simple, OP.  No more than a one hour time difference, and definitely keep it to walk-in sites.  Realistically, kids that age can struggle with the snorkle breathing.   They would not be safe or comfortable in open water snorkling.

For the kids, I'd suggest Discovery Cove for a day in FL and then SeaWorld  + Blizzard Beach.  For the adults, you'd probably prefer something like St John.

The furst rule for me when planning a trip with kids is to be very honest about everyone's limitations.  I'd rather be more conservative in estimating what the kids can handle than be too aggressive about what they can handle.  If the kids are unhappy, then my time is ruined and I'll be irritated about spending so much money on a trip that failed.  IMO, it's better for the kids to be happy, even if it isn't my ideal vacation plan.  Know your kids and thier limits.[/quote]

I feel like I missed the ages of the kids, but provided they like beaches and can handle the travel (always feels a bit like trains, planes and automobiles to get there) I think St. John would be great.  So many cute little beaches even if they aren't super into snorkeling, and the Trunk Bay snorkel trail is so easy.  And as someone else said, you occasionally see turtles at Maho.  [/quote]
