|
 Be prepared to be enchanted on this Enchanting Hawaii vacation as you experience breathtaking scenery, tranquil water, leisure days, and fun activities. Your trip starts in Honolulu with a warm Hawaii welcome-with a welcoming aloha and a lei of fresh flowers. Take a sightseeing tour of Honolulu's most famous sites, including Pearl Harbor, where you listen to a narration of the dramatic air attack and visit the USS Arizona and the impressive memorial dedicated to the 1,102 men still entombed there. Then fly to Maui for four nights. On Maui, see the 'Iao Needle, a spectacular volcanic spire, and Haleakala National Park, site of the huge volcanic Haleakala Crater known to the islanders as the 'House of the Sun.' Visit the Orchids of Olinda and learn about orchid culture, history, and practical growing tips. Leisure time in Maui also enables you to swim, laze on the beach, take an optional tour, or just relax. You also choose your experience and can take a snorkel adventure to Lanai or set sail on an ocean catamaran to experience the beauty of a Maui sunset. From Maui, fly to Kona for two nights on Hawaii's Big Island. In Kona, optional activities include a snorkeling cruise to a coral reef, a helicopter ride along the Kohala coastline and active volcano, or a summit to the top of Mauna Kea Crater to view the sunset. Maybe just relax at your hotel's 10,000-square-foot pool or by the beach. With a perfect blend of guided tours to must-see sights and leisure time to enjoy the beaches and activities of this tropical paradise, this Hawaii vacation offers you plenty of opportunities for photos, fun, and relaxation.
