Good morning and welcome to Maui. The Valley Isle has been voted the best island in the world-for six years in a row. This tropical paradise has it all: hundreds of spectacular beaches, cascading waterfalls, flourishing jungles bursting with color and birdsong, dramatic volcanic craters, and charming Hawaiian towns. You'll agree that there's nothing on earth quite like it. The next two days are free for you to enjoy at your leisure. Join one of the many excursions available, including a scenic journey through upcountry Maui to the top of the world's largest dormant volcano, Haleakala-or a visit to The Maui Tropical Plantation and `Iao Valley. Arrive in Maui at 8 am and overnight in Maui. (B,L,D) | | Day 6 | Maui-Cruising to the Big Island | (Mon.) Another day in paradise offers you the flexibility to enjoy one of the many beaches that surround Maui. For the early risers, consider an excursion to view Haleakala Crater at sunrise. This adventure takes you to the top of the Haleakala volcano, the "House of the Rising Sun," rising more than 10,000 feet above sea level. Marvel at the Crater's eerie, lunar-like landscape of cinder cones and ancient lava formations. The view is absolutely amazing. Depart for the Big Island at 2 pm. (B,L,D) | | Day 7 | Hilo-Overnight Cruising to Kona | (Tue.) Larger than Hawaii's other main islands combined, the "Big Island" of Hawaii is spectacularly diverse in both landscapes and activities. Pristine beaches, curious lava formations, the earth's tallest sea mountain, and the world's most continuously active volcano all make this island a completely unique adventure. The entire day is open to independent activities. You will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of shore excursions, including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Rainbow Falls. Experience the 80-foot falls that cascade into a circular pool in the Wailuku River-as they hit the water below, rainbows often appear in the mist. Then, experience the fascinating drive along the 11-mile Crater Rim to enjoy a unique view of this volcanic landscape. Arrive in Hilo at 8 am and depart for Kona at 6 pm. (B,L,D) | | Day 8 | Kona-Overnight Cruising to Kauai | (Wed.) A morning arrival in Kona, the Big Island of Hawaii. Choose a helicopter ride for a bird's-eye view of Kilauea Volcano's active areas, ranging from surface flows to skylights to bubbling lava. After a brief return to Hilo's airport, take to the skies again for an exploration of Hawaii's lush rainforest and Hamakua coastline. For those who prefer to stay a little more grounded, discover the historic city of Kona along Hawaii's beautiful sun-drenched Gold Coast. Your route will take you past ancient temples, fields of coffee and macadamia nuts, and breathtaking coastal scenery. Arrive in Kona at 7 am and depart for Kauai at 6 pm. (B,L,D) | | Day 9 | Kauai | (Thu.) The Garden Isle of Kauai has a lush, rural feel and a laid-back lifestyle all its own. After all, it is Hawaii's oldest island and, as first-born, has a legacy of paradise to uphold. A trip around Kauai is a feast of tropical forest, cascading waterfalls, golden sand beaches, swaying palms, majestic mountains, and almost daily rainbows. A full day of activity awaits your participation. You may choose an excursion to enjoy the dramatic natural attraction of 2,857-foot-deep Waimea Canyon and a ride up the Wailua River to the famed Fern Grotto. Arrive at 8 am and overnight in Kauai. (B,L,D) | | Day 10 | Kauai-Overnight Cruising to Honolulu | (Fri.)
