Aulani activities--Christmas gifts?

[sgrap]

We are going on our first trip to Aulani in June and I thought about giving our 4 'kids' (24, 21, 14 and 13) a gift of something fun to do there as a gift for Christmas this year. We haven't booked anything besides our room, airfare and rental car yet, so we are wide open. I know we want to do Pearl Harbor, but that's it so far on my list. What are some awesome activities/excursions you can suggest we look into?
Thanks!

3 years ago I gave my kids (then 14, 16) and hubby surfing lessons from the Hawaii Fire School (i think that's the name). They also did a nighttime shark fishing expedition.
There are a ton of snorkeling/paddleboating/whale watching excursions if you google them. I didn't book anything through Disney, figured I would just be paying Aulani additional money.

Kualoa Ranch offers some great activities that you can book directly on their website, including ATV rides, ziplining and "movie tours" of the valley which has been a set for many productions. I am not sure if they do gift certificates but you can certainly contact them and ask, I'd be surprised if they dont.

Awesome, thank you! I know my daughter wants to try surfing.

Thank you! These look awesome! I'm thinking I could just book a couple of the excursions directly, so no need for gift certificates. Have you done any of these excursions yourself?

No but I am thinking of buying the ATV tour for my hubby and kids as a Christmas gift as well! I know fellow Diser Dugette did the Movie tour with her young daughter and there are some pics in her Aulani trip report. There have been a few others as well.
