DAY1 Big Island:

Today we will fly to the island of Hawaii, or "Volcano Island." We first stroll along one of the island’s iconic black sand beaches formed from constant lava flows into the ocean. Then we’ll travel to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to explore some of the island’s dramatic volcanic landscape - the craters, lava tubes, and steaming vents of its two active volcanoes promise a thrilling and adventurous morning. The park’s volcano museum is an interesting place, with fascinating historical and geological exhibits. After lunch, we will finish the day by visiting the Macadamia Nut Farm (which produces one of the state’s most delicious exports), the breathtaking Rainbow Falls (so named because of the myriad rainbows that you can see sparkling through the mist on sunny days), and one of Hawaii’s famous orchid gardens.

DAY2 Maui Island

Today we will spend the day exploring the so-called "Valley Island," the lush tropical island of Maui. First we stroll through the famous ancient battlefield, Iao Valley, which is now a state park carpeted in rainforest and winding gardens. After a stop at the National Tropical Botanical Garden, we will wind our way along the scenic Haña Highway, which will take us through a landscape of mountains, black sand beaches, and waterfalls, visiting Kapalua Bay, the Whaler's Village, and Labaina Town, the famous whaling port of the 18th Century.
