Hawaiian Islands

Aloha—welcome to Hawaii! Your Tour Director is available from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. to answer any questions. Once settled, perhaps take a stroll along nearby Waikiki Beach or relax by the pool as you begin your Hawaiian adventure.

Begin the day with an orientation meeting with your Tour Director before setting out on a sightseeing excursion of Honolulu. Visit Pearl Harbor, including views of the sunken USS Arizona and its memorial honoring those who lost their lives during the attack. Continue to Punchbowl National Cemetery, set within an extinct volcanic crater and known for its panoramic views of Honolulu. As part of the Globus family of brands Lighthouse Project, this historic site reflects our commitment to supporting the people and places we visit. Additional sightseeing today includes historic ‘Iolani Palace and the statue of King Kamehameha the Great.

Today is yours to enjoy at leisure. Your Tour Director will have suggestions for sightseeing, shopping, dining, and activities near world-famous Waikiki Beach. Perhaps join an optional excursion to the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu’s North Shore. The experience includes dinner and the spectacular Ha: Breath of Life stage show, featuring traditional Polynesian music, dance, and fire performances.

This morning, fly to Hawaii Island, known as the “Big Island,” where dramatic landscapes range from tropical rainforests and bamboo groves to volcanic deserts and rugged coastlines. Upon arrival, visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, home to some of the world’s most active volcanoes. See Kilauea Crater, rising 4,090 feet above a landscape shaped by volcanic activity, including lava fields, steam vents, and native forests. Continue to Kona on the island’s sunny western coast, arriving in the early evening.
