This afternoon, get to know fellow travelers during a Welcome Lunch before continuing our tour with a drive past the volcanic-shaped Hawaii State Capitol building, Iolani Palace, and Punchbowl Crater, an extinct volcano that’s home to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. We also take in spectacular coastal scenery at Halona Blowhole, Eternity Beach, and Nu’uanu Pali Lookout! *Navy launch to the USS Arizona Memorial is subject to weather and availability through the National Park Service.
