Day 2: Honolulu.
(Mon.) A breakfast get-together with your Tour Director to review activities scheduled throughout your stay. The balance of the day is free to relax, swim, enjoy water sports, or laze on the beach.

This evening there’s an optional sunset cruise with dinner, Hawaiian cocktails, and splendid views of the glittering Waikiki coastline and Diamond Head. (B)
Day 3: Honolulu.
(Tue.) Begin with a tour of PEARL HARBOR’S famous Battleship Row. Listen to a narration of the dramatic air attack of December 7, 1941, and visit the USS Arizona and the impressive MEMORIAL dedicated to the 1,102 men still entombed. You will also have an opportunity to visit the MUSEUM, an excellent way to learn about Pearl Harbor Day, the Japanese strategy and military craft, and the individuals involved in the attack. Then, on to Punchbowl National Cemetery and Honolulu Lookout. Other sights include Chinatown, the Hawaii State Capitol, royal ‘Iolani Palace, and the statue of Kamehameha the Great. Tonight, a wonderful evening of dining and entertainment awaits! See the most popular show in Waikiki, the SOCIETY OF SEVEN, with an evening of classic impersonations, comedy acts, Broadway show tunes, and today’s popular hits! (B,D)
Day 4: Honolulu–Kauai.
(Wed.) Morning flight to the “Garden Isle” of Kauai, whose lush landscapes featuring orchids, hibiscus, and plumeria are often used as a setting for Hollywood films depicting tropical paradise. View pretty `Opaeka`a Falls on the Wailua River before visiting the beautifully restored Kilohana sugar plantation, whose elegant, Tudor-style mansion was one of the grandest and most expensive on Kauai when it was built in 1935. Enjoy lunch and a wagon tour of the 35-acre estate, dotted with tropical gardens and century-old plantation cottages. Afterward, continue south to sunny Poipu Beach and your resort. (B,L)
Day 5: Kauai.
(Thu.) Spend the day as you please! Take in refreshing ocean breezes from the beautiful white sand beaches, immersing yourself in the heart of the island’s beauty. No activities have been scheduled today to give you time to relax and enjoy your oceanfront resort. Optional tours include helicopter flightseeing and snorkeling. (B,D) NOTE: If you have scheduled independent activities for this evening, you can opt to have dinner at your leisure on Day 4.

(Fri.) Start the day with a drive to Waimea, once the Polynesian capital of Kauai and the site where Captain Cook landed in the islands in 1778. Sightseeing highlights include WAIMEA CANYON, the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” and Hanapepe Valley.

This morning is dedicated to HALEAKALA NATIONAL PARK, site of the huge volcanic Haleakala Crater, known to islanders as the “House of the Sun.” The park is in a setting of stunning natural beauty, ranging from cinder cones to dense rainforest.
