Hawaii is the archetypal island paradise.
Limitless beaches, sparkling crystal clear waters and vibrant cities - for many, Hawaii is the closest to earthly perfection that one can find. From the cosmopolitan capital Honolulu to the pure white sand beaches of animated Waikiki and the beautiful highlands of Lanai with colourful hibiscus, red ohia and kukui blossom, Hawaii is simply breathtaking.
These beautiful dots in the huge expanse of the Pacific have all the exotic flora and fauna you‘d imagine of a tropical island, combined with the comforts and service you’d expect from a developed American economy. Spend just a few days there and it‘s possible to wonder if you’ll ever want to go home.
The biggest surprise about Hawaii, though, is the fact that it‘s not just one island but literally hundreds, in a huge archipelago, though your cruise will only visit a handful of the main locations - Kauai, Niihau and Maui, for instance. Even so, you’ll delight in the hidden coves and secret beaches dotted all around this Pacific paradise, giving you a cruise that will help you to relax and unwind utterly.
Take Oahu, for example. On just one island, you‘ll find a vibrant mix of natural wonders and cultural attractions and amenities of the 21st century, you can soak up the sun or join the surfers in the legendary Waikiki. There’s history at Pearl Harbour, snorkelling at Hanauma Bay and the spectacular mountains of Nuuanu Pali.
The Garden Isle of Kauai offer something quite different. Characterised by tropical rainforest and cascading waterfalls, they‘re best enjoyed from above. We highly recommend a helicopter tour of the Na Pali Coast, where you’ll find the Wailua Falls, Waimea Canyon and many golden beaches, which have appeared in over 60 Hollywood films.
Meanwhile, Big Island lives up to its name - twice the size of the other islands combined, it is home to the most active volcano on Earth. This is also where you‘ll find the Onizuka Centre for International Astronomy. Situated on the peak of a 4km-high mountain, don’t miss your chance to enjoy the scattered stars of the Milky Way more clearly than you've ever seen them before.
The bright colours of the flowers and plants, the fresh fish and exotic fruit, the glorious sunshine and sparkling clear blue waters, the luscious landscapes populated by smiling, friendly people eager to help. It really is hard to do this wonderful location justice in a few words.
