Visit Area: Waikiki Beach
This Honolulu neighborhood has been a surfer’s haven since the 1800s. It was once made of wetlands, but has been developed into a world-renowned beach. Half of the beach is specifically designated for surfers, and the water is relatively shallow. From anywhere in the area, look up and you’ll see swaying palm trees and stunning high-rises.

Dive into Hawaiian history with a visit to Iolani Palace to learn about the Hawaiian monarchs and the takeover of Hawaii by the United States. Then enjoy free time in downtown Honolulu with recommendations from your Tour Manager for the best spots for a traditional plate lunch. Later stop at the Pali lookout in O’ahu’s rainforest before returning to Waikiki for an evening at your leisure.

Admittance: Pearl Harbor
This lagoon harbor on the island of Oahu is an active military base, known for its harrowing World War II history. A U.S. Naval Base located there was attacked in 1941, devastating the area. The victims of the attack are honored in a series of memorials in the harbor.

Board your flight to the volcanic “Big Island” of Hawaii and leave cosmopolitan O’ahu behind. True to its name, the island itself is larger than all the other Hawaiian Islands combined. Although the island’s official name is the archipelago’s namesake, the Big Island is also famous for its volcanoes creating black, rocky landscapes. Upon arrival, pause at the iridescent mist of Rainbow Falls before having time to explore Hilo on your own for lunch. Then set out for a tour of the South Coast including a visit inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to learn about Kilauea – the world’s most active volcano. Make your way along the steam bluffs to get a view of the impressive caldera.

Spend a day at leisure to see for yourself why locals say Maui no ka oi (Maui is the best). Perhaps you will take an optional cliff-side drive on the legendary Road to Hana. Or you may choose to take a stroll along the beach, shop for souvenirs or simply relax at your luxurious Maui resort. There is no limit to the adventures you can have on this gorgeous island!

As a way to commemorate a milestone, event or historic victory, the Luau began as a celebration with food and entertainment.

Traditional music and dance in the form of the hula and Samoan fire dance delight all participants as the stars begin twinkling in the sky.
