Kaleidoscope Travel & Cruise

Article Published: May 24th, 2007

The first stop on our upcoming group cruise is Lahaina – we will spend two full days exploring the area. Often called the “jewel in the crown of Maui,” Lahaina is a destination that is experienced by two million people annually. Lahaina town is the second most visited spot on Maui after the beaches. Lahaina is a historic town, which is nestled between the calm waters of the Auau Channel facing Lana’i island and the fertile peaks and valleys of Mauna Kahalawai . It has provided a home for many cultures over the centuries, always welcoming visitors to its inviting shores. Next we are off to spend the day at Honolulu. World-famous Waikiki was once a playground for Hawaiian royalty. Known in Hawaiian as “spouting waters,” Today, Waikiki is a vibrant gathering place for visitors from around the world. You may choose to spend your time visiting Pearl Harbor or the Polynesian Culture Centre. Our third port of call is Hilo – Hawaii’s biggest small town lies at the feet of three volcanoes, Mauna Kea, the world’s tallest; Mauna Loa, the world’s most voluminous; and Kilauea, the world’s most active volcano. The hottest show in town is due south in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Our final stop in the Hawaiian Island will be Kailua-Kona. From scuba diving in the Pacific Ocean to hiking up the side of a volcano, Kailua-Kona features a wealth of activities that cater to everyone. Located on the west side of the Big Island of Hawaii, Kailua-Kona has a variety of aquatic activities that are available in the area, including kayaking, rafting, and snorkeling.
