Day 1 : Fly to Honolulu
We board our flight to paradise and step off the plane to feel the Aloha spirit that draws so many travelers to this lush island oasis. We are welcomed with a traditional lei greeting before checking in to our Waikiki Beach hotel for a three-night stay.
Day 2 : Pearl Harbor
After a delicious included breakfast, we embark on a tour of the capital city including the most moving site on Oahu, Pearl Harbor National Memorial. At the visitor center, we view the galleries and exhibits that recall December 7, 1941, the day that catapulted the U.S. into World War II. We watch a documentary film and take a Navy launch out to the USS Arizona Memorial to observe the sunken battleship. This afternoon, we mingle with new friends over a Holiday Vacations Welcome Lunch in Honolulu. We continue our city tour and have a chance to view the volcanic-shaped Hawaiian State Capitol building and Iolani Palace, home to Hawaii's last reigning monarchs. We also visit the Punchbowl, an extinct volcano and home of the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. *Tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial are subject to availability through National Park Service and confirmed the day prior.
Day 3 : Oahu
Today is yours to explore the island of Oahu as you please. Relax on heavenly Waikiki Beach, sample the local Hawaiian fare on a food tour, return to Pearl Harbor to tour the USS Missouri Memorial, hike, snorkel, or explore the depths of the beautiful ocean on a submarine adventure. This evening, enjoy a fantastic included dinner at the hotel.
Day 4 : Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
This morning, we fly to Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii. Following a delicious lunch just outside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, we drive inside for a stop at the visitor center and pause along the way to appreciate the dramatic overlooks . The unique landscape of the park features volcanic craters, dried lava flows, and steam vents. Afterward, we check in to our Kona hotel for a two-night stay.
Day 5 : The Big Island
Enjoy a wonderful included breakfast at the hotel this morning before an exciting day of exploring the Big Island on your own. You may choose to tour a chocolate farm or the Kona Brewery, swim with manta rays, go flightseeing for an aerial view of the volcanoes, shop and dine in historic Kailua-Kona Village, or simply relax on your private lanai at the hotel.
Day 6 : Maui
This morning we fly to Maui, nicknamed the Valley Isle for the valleys carved into its mountains. Our lunch at the Maui Ocean Center offers stunning views of Ma’alaea Bay Harbor. This afternoon, there is time to explore the campus to view sea turtles, colorful fish, sharks, jellyfish, and even touch coral. Learn about the area’s largest seasonal visitors and see them in 3D at the Humpbacks of Hawaii experience. Later, we arrive at our gorgeous hotel located right along Ka'anapali Beach and enjoy time at leisure.
Day 7 : The Valley Isle
Enjoy a relaxing morning with an included breakfast before venturing out on your own to discover all that Maui has to offer. Tour a working pineapple farm, visit a chocolate farm, or travel the winding Road to Hana.

During free time today, consider taking a pleasant stroll from the hotel to Whalers Village, an inviting area of shops, dining, and live entertainment. Tonight, say farewell Hawaii-style at Drums of the Pacific luau and Polynesian show. Indulge in tropical drinks and the exotic flavors of native Hawaiian cuisine.
