DAY1 Arrival Honolulu - Oahu:

After arriving at the Honolulu International Airport, our tour escort will be wearing a white polo shirt and wait for you at the baggage claim area and take you to the hotel for check-in. You will have the evening to rest after your flight.

DAY2 Pearl Harbor & City Tour (7:00am - 12:30pm*):

This morning, we visit the Pearl Harbor National Monument, which commemorates the Japanese surprise attack on U.S. forces on December 7, 1941. As part of the tour, we will view a video presentation of authentic footage from that infamous day; afterwards, we will board a Navy launch vessel for a short ride to the Arizona Memorial, which was built over the remains of the submerged battleship. Next we’ll take in the sights of Honolulu city, including Hawaii’s State Capitol Building; Washington Place, famous for its Greek Revival architecture and home of Hawaii’s governor; the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific; Chinatown; Iolani Palace, the official residence of Hawaii’s monarchy; and the statue of King Kamehameha I, first king of the united Hawaiian islands. This afternoon, you are free to relax at the hotel or explore the local area at your leisure.

DAY3 Dole Plantation and Waikele Outlet (1:30pm - 6:30pm*), Mini Circle Island Tour** (8:00am - 12:00pm*)

Today we visit the Dole Plantation, described as the “Complete Pineapple Experience," one of Hawaii's favorite attractions. Stroll through the plantation’s extensive grounds, learn how pineapples are grown, and perhaps grow your own! Indulge yourself with a visit to the plantation country store and purchase a world-famous “Dole Whip” or take home a fresh pineapple. Afterwards, we head to the Waikele Premium Outlets to enjoy major shopping discounts at stores such as Coach, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, and Barneys New York.

DAY4 Polynesian Cultural Center (1:30pm - 10:00pm*):

This morning, you will be free to explore more of Oahu at your leisure. After lunch, we will depart for the Polynesian Cultural Center, located on the north shore of Oahu. Its simulated tropical villages will give you a colorful taste of the architecture, crafts, dances, and customs of seven Polynesian tribes, including those from Samoa, Moorea, Fuji, Hawaii, Tonga, Tahiti and the Marquesas islands. After dinner, we will be treated to the “Ha Breath of Life” show, which features dances from the different tribes and a world-renowned fire-knife performance.

DAY5 Outer Island Tour (Choice of either Maui or Hawaii):

Island of Maui:
Today we will fly to 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.

Island of Hawaii, The Big Island:
As an alternative, fly instead 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.

DAY6 Departure:

After breakfast, there is free time to take another walk on the beach and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air of Hawaii. You will be picked up at the hotel for your departure flights back home.
