Seeing the islands of Hawaii
For the combination of sun, sea, sand and tropical temperatures, nowhere in the world beats Hawaii... and perhaps the best way to see the islands are from the comfort and luxury of a Hawaiian cruise holiday.
But it's not all just beaches - going on a cruise in Hawaii opens up a new chapter of things to do. Take advantage of the islands' dramatic landscape by flying over the islands on a helicopter - you'll be overwhelmed by the stunning scenery.
Golf sports and alternative things to do
Included in the dramatic landscape and a 'must see' amongst passengers of a Hawaiian cruise is Kilauea - an active volcano located on the south eastern tip of the Big Island of Hawaii. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world! Hike through lush rainforest to experience vents spewing steam, brand new land being created, ancient Hawaiian petro glyphs, walk-through lava tubes, and unrivalled vistas.
Many guests also choose to the dare the ascent to the summit of Haleakala on Maui to watch the sunrise, a ritual that forms a key part of Hawaiian folklore.
The landscapes of Hawaii are also perfect for golf... in fact, Hawaii is golfers heaven! Discover a variety of unique course layouts on Hawaii's six, geographically distinct islands - from greens lined with volcanic rough to stunning seaside water hazards. And with more than 70 amazing golf courses to choose from, it won't be difficult to find the perfect course for you.
Enjoying what the islands have to offer
When you have experienced enough of the land, another popular activity when on a cruise in Hawaii is whale watching. From December to early May, humpback whales call Hawaii their home... and you can whale watch from every island in Hawaii.
Another famous activity on the Hawaiian sea is the surf! And Hawaii is famous for it. Amateurs can take one of the many surfing lessons held, and surfing pro's can be entertained and even challenged by some of the big waves.
Hawaii - luau time
And finally no visit to Hawaii would be complete without attending a luau. Women in grass skirts, men in face paint, fire dancers, and traditional music showcase the cultures and traditions of Polynesia. Try out hula lessons to get you in the luau spirit! It's a great visitor attraction and an excellent introduction to the food and culture of the Hawaiian Islands.
