Day 1 |
Say "Aloha!" to the big city on Oahu's South Shore: Honolulu. This sunny capital city is the main portal to the larger Hawaiian archipelago, and the perfect base for exploring Oahu. Drinking in all the breathtaking scenery is just one part of the Honolulu experience — there's so much more: Waikiki's crescent beach, plus its shopping and dining; the 350-acre volcanic crater Diamond Head (climb to the top for amazing views); and Pearl Harbor National Memorial.
Be sure to take a scenic drive from the South Shore to the North Shore, and experience the Polynesian Cultural Center, the Dole Plantation (think pineapples!), as well as world-class snorkeling, shrimp carts, and shaved ice stands. |

Hawaii, an archipelago in the central Pacific, offers a kaleidoscope of natural beauty and cultural experiences that make it a premier travel destination. The island of Oahu, home to the vibrant city of Honolulu, is renowned for its iconic beaches like Waikiki, where the golden sands and azure waters create a perfect backdrop for surfing and sunbathing. Explore the historic Pearl Harbor site, which includes the USS Arizona Memorial and the Pacific Aviation Museum, providing a poignant glimpse into World War II history. On the Big Island of Hawaii, the dramatic landscapes of Volcanoes National Park await. Witness the powerful eruptions of Kīlauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, and marvel at the geothermal wonders and lava flows that shape the island's geography. The island’s diverse terrain also includes lush rainforests, black sand beaches, and the stark contrast of the Mauna Kea summit, which offers stargazing opportunities above the clouds. Maui, known for its stunning beaches and the scenic Road to Hana, provides visitors with a range of natural splendors. Drive through lush rainforests, past waterfalls, and enjoy panoramic ocean views on this winding journey. The island is also home to Haleakalā National Park, where the sunrise from the summit is a breathtaking spectacle that attracts visitors from around the globe. Fun fact: Hawaii is the only state in the U.S. that grows coffee commercially. The Kona coffee region on the Big Island produces some of the world’s most sought-after coffee beans, celebrated for their rich and smooth flavor. Whether you’re soaking up the sun on a pristine beach, exploring volcanic landscapes, or savoring locally grown coffee, Hawaii’s islands promise an unforgettable experience. |

Maui is a Hawaiian paradise offering an incredible variety of landscapes, experiences, and cultural traditions. Known for its valleys, beaches, and volcanic peaks, Maui attracts visitors who want to immerse themselves in nature and Hawaiian heritage. The island’s crown jewel is Haleakalā National Park, where the massive dormant volcano provides beautiful scenery and unforgettable sunrise views. Visitors can hike through the park or stargaze under one of the clearest night skies in the world. For beach lovers, Maui’s coastline offers something for everyone. Kaʻanapali Beach, with its soft golden sands and crystal-clear waters, is a favorite for sunbathing and snorkeling. Makena Beach is perfect for those seeking a quieter spot to relax. Surfing, paddleboarding, and even seasonal whale-watching from the shore are common activities on the island. During the winter months, humpback whales migrate to Maui’s warm waters. Maui is also home to one of the most scenic drives in the world: the Road to Hāna. The winding coastal route takes travelers through lush rainforests, past cascading waterfalls, and to charming small towns like Hāna itself. Along the way, stops like the Waiʻānapanapa Black Sand Beach and the Pools of ʻOheʻo (Seven Sacred Pools) provide great views. The journey is just as rewarding as the destination, with plenty of photo opportunities around every bend. The island’s vibrant cultural traditions are another highlight. Luaus invite visitors to experience traditional Hawaiian food, music, and hula dancing. Maui’s farmers' markets and farm-to-table dining options showcase the island’s agricultural riches, including fresh pineapples, macadamia nuts, and locally caught fish like mahi-mahi and ahi tuna. Stopping at small food stands along the way, such as those serving shave ice or banana bread, is a delicious way to explore the island’s flavors. |
