Our journey starts in Hawaii’s state capital, a treasure trove of history and culture. Enjoy the view at Pali Lookout and the North Shore. Explore the spiritual home of surfing, Waikiki Beach, then go to Iolani Palace. Celebrate the honor, valor and courage of the World War II servicemen and women with visits to Pearl Harbor’s Arizona Memorial Visitor Center and the USS Missouri memorial. Got a hankering for poi? Who doesn’t? Satisfy it at the world-famous Polynesian Cultural Center, where you’ll play games with island natives, get temporary tattoos and show off your new hula and Tahitian dance moves.

SUNDAY-MONDAY
Kahului, Maui
arrive 8a (Sunday) / depart 6p (Monday)

Golf, swim, snorkel, windsurf or just relax under a swaying palm. Explore Haleakala Crater, the world’s largest dormant volcano. At the summit is a vast crater measuring seven-and-a-half miles long by two and-a-half miles wide. The views from the top at over 10,000 feet above sea level are magnificent. Sit back and enjoy the sights along the famed Hana Highway, including lava cliffs, tumbling waterfalls, the rugged northern coastline and tropical hillsides. Snorkel at Molokini, a crescent moon-shaped islet located less than three miles off Maui’s southern coast. It’s one of the top 10 snorkel sites in the world and home to more than 250 species of fish. Best of all, we’re staying overnight, so there’s no need to rush. You can explore Maui at your leisure.

TUESDAY
Hilo, Hawaii
arrive 8a / depart 6p

Hilo is home to Akaka Falls, a spectacular 422-foot waterfall. See if you can say its name three times fast without cracking up (Akaka, Akaka, Akaka). The Big Island’s most tropical town is nestled between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. From Hilo, you can also see Mount Kilauea, an active volcano, at Volcano National Park. Helicopter tours of the Earth’s most geologically active environment take you over Kilauea’s most recent eruption sites and follow the surface activity down to the devastated village of Kalapana. View lava flows, the Puna Forest and black-sand beaches. Or cool off under swaying palm trees in a natural lava rock lagoon and feel the warmth of a black-sand beach between your toes at Puna.

WEDNESDAY
Kona, Hawaii
arrive 7a / depart 6p

Stunning tidal pools, world-renowned coffee and breathtaking sea views set apart this side of the Big Island, where the sun always seems to shine more brightly. Take the Captain Zodiac Raft, Snorkel & Dolphin Adventure. This award-winning, fast-paced adventure tour is the only one that takes you to beautiful Kealakekua Bay, the only marine sanctuary on the Big Island of Hawaii. A 24-foot Zodiac raft provides an exciting shore-hugging ride along the Kona coast. Upon arrival at Kealakekua Bay, you can swim and snorkel in protected waters and on the return ride, you’ll explore sea caves, lava tubes and learn more about the geology of the island. Or explore Anaehoomalu Bay, a natural marine life preserve and one of the most beautiful beaches on the Big Island. The sand is a salt and pepper mix of coral and volcanic rock, and the entrance to the beach is through a lava desert. Whether you want to try kayaking, snorkeling or biking across the sheltered bay on floating hydro-bikes, the day is yours to enjoy.

THURSDAY-FRIDAY
Nawiliwili, Kauai
arrive 8a (Thursday) / depart 2p (Friday)

Whoo hoo! Another overnighter. This time it’s in the land of rain forests, smooth, rounded mountains, cascading waterfalls and towering ocean cliffs. If you only experience one thing in Hawaii, make sure you don’t miss the spectacular Luau Kalemaku extravaganza. Graceful Hula dancers, fire poi ball twirlers, traditional fire knife dancing and a vivid storyteller come together for this once-in-a-lifetime authentic experience. And the buffet of local delicacies and desserts is so lavish, you’d think that was the show. Discover the breathtaking gorge in the heart of Kauai, Waimea Canyon, often called the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” This magnificent canyon in the heart of Kauai is 10 miles long, one mile wide and 3,400 feet deep, with a spectacular array of rainbow colors created by the reds and browns of exposed volcanic rock, mingled with the blues and greens of lush tropical vegetation.

SATURDAY
Honolulu, Oahu

Boo hoo! Is it over already? Thank you for a wonderful week.
