If you've ever taken your teenager on a family vacation, you know just how quickly they can grow bored with your destination, family together time and any activities you have planned. However, the following 10 destinations are so teen-friendly, there will be no rolling of the eyes, sulking or spending the week glued to earbuds. Here's where to take your teen for a fun family vacation:

Maui, Hawaii

It's hard not to fall in love with the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands, even if you're a sullen teenager who seems resistant to having a good time. There's something about the laid-back tropical island atmosphere that puts everyone in a good mood. Even better, Maui is a great place for outdoor activities, like snorkeling, surfing lessons, paddle boarding, canoeing and hiking.
