Day 1:
Flight to Honolulu. (Wed.) Upon arrival you are greeted in the traditional Polynesian way—with a warm aloha and a lei of fresh flowers. Transfer to your hotel in Waikiki. The remainder of your day is at leisure. Day 2: Honolulu. (Thu.) 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 it’s on to Punchbowl National Cemetery and Honolulu Lookout. Other sight 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 3: Honolulu. (Fri.) Today is all about independence. You’re free to relax, swim, enjoy water sports, or laze on the beach. Take the optional excursion to the Polynesian Cultural Center for authentic island arts, crafts, history, music, a dinner buffet, and a spectacular Polynesian show with more than 100 performers. This evening, there’s an optional sunset cruise with dinner, Hawaiian cocktails, and splendid views of the glittering Waikiki coastline and Diamond Head. Your Local Representative will have recommendations for the best places to shop and dine. (B) Day 4: Honolulu–Overnight Cruising to Hilo. (Sat.) Your day is free before boarding your cruise ship, the Pride of America. Bid farewell to your Local Host. Once on board, there’s time to explore your home for the next seven nights. During your cruise adventure, you will have the freedom to choose from the many amenities on board. Anchors aweigh! Ship departs at 8 p.m. (B,D) Day 5: Hilo. Overnight Cruising to Maui. (Sun.) Good morning and welcome to Hilo. Larger than Hawaii’s other main islands combined, the “Big Island” of Hawaii is spectacularly diverse in both landscapes and activities. Pristine beaches, curious lava formations, the earth’s tallest sea mountain, and the world’s most continuously active volcano all make this island a completely unique adventure. The entire day is open to independent activities. You will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of shore excursions, including Volcanoes National Park and Rainbow Falls. Experience the 80-foot falls, which cascade into a circular pool in the Wailuku River and, as they hit the water below, rainbows often appear in the mist. Then experience the fascinating drive along the 11 mile Crater Rim to enjoy a unique view of this volcanic landscape. Arrive in Hilo at 8 a.m. and depart for Maui at 6 p.m. (B,L,D) Day 6: Maui. (Mon.) The Valley Isle has been voted the best island in the world—for six years in a row. This tropical paradise has it all: hundreds of spectacular beaches, cascading waterfalls, flourishing jungles bursting with color and birdsong, dramatic volcanic craters, and charming Hawaiian towns. You’ll agree that there’s nothing on earth quite like it. The next two days are free for you to enjoy at your leisure. Join one of the many excursions available, including a scenic journey through upcountry Maui to the top of the world’s largest dormant volcano, Haleakala—or a visit to The Maui Tropical Plantation and `Iao Valley. Arrive in Maui at 8 a.m. and overnight in Maui. (B,L,D) Day 7: Maui. Overnight Cruising to Kona. (Tue.) Another day in paradise offers you the flexibility to enjoy one of the many beaches that surround Maui. For the early risers, consider an excursion to view Haleakala Crater at sunrise. This adventure takes you to the top of Haleakala volcano (“House of the Rising Sun”), rising more than 10,000 feet above sea level. You’ll marvel at the Crater’s eerie, lunar-like landscape of cinder cones and ancient lava formations. The view is absolutely amazing. Depart for Kona at 6 p.m. (B,L,D) Day 8: Kona. Overnight Cruising to Kauai. (Wed.) Today we return to the Big Island of Hawaii. Choose to take a helicopter ride for a bird’s-eye view of Kilauea Volcano’s active areas, ranging from surface flows to skylights to bubbling lava. After a brief return to Hilo’s airport, take to the skies again for an exploration of Hawaii’s lush rainforest and Hamakua coastline. For those who prefer to stay a little more grounded, we recommend discovering the historic city of Kona along Hawaii’s beautiful sun-drenched Gold Coast. Your route will take you past ancient temples, fields of coffee and macadamia nuts, as well as breathtaking coastal scenery. Arrive in Kona at 8 a.m. and depart for Kauai at 6 p.m. (B,L,D) Day 9: Kauai. (Thu.) The Garden Isle of Kauai has a lush, rural feel and a laid-back lifestyle all its own. After all, it is Hawaii’s oldest island and, as first-born, has a legacy of paradise to uphold. A trip around Kauai is a feast of tropical forest, cascading waterfalls, golden sand beaches, swaying palms, majestic mountains, and almost daily rainbows. A full day of activity awaits your participation. You may choose an excursion to enjoy the dramatic natural attraction of 2,857-foot-deep Waimea Canyon and a ride up the Wailua River to the famed Fern Grotto. Arrive at 8 a.m. and overnight in Kauai. (B,L,D) Day 10: Kauai–Overnight Cruising to Honolulu. (Fri.) Today is the perfect day to relax and enjoy the sandy beaches of Kauai or shop for souvenirs before departing for Honolulu at 2 p.m. (B,L,D) Day 11: Honolulu. (Sat.) Arrive in Honolulu at 7 a.m. Disembarkation usually begins two hours after docking. The trip ends this morning with guests departing on individual schedules. Transfers are provided to Honolulu International Airport. Please schedule flights after 3 p.m. (B)

CURRENT SPECIALS: Standard Offers and Specials provided by Globus
Share the pleasure of a Globus vacation with your children and grandchildren and take advantage of a 10-percent discount on the land-only price. For eligibility, children must be under 18 years of age on the departure date and must be accompanied by an adult. On escorted vacations we don’t accept children under eight years old because we have found that they are too young to enjoy these vacations.
Pay less for your second vacation We charge you vacation price for your first vacation in 2008, but for every additional Globus vacation you take in the same year, you pay US$35 under list. Our vacations are designed and scheduled so you can combine them almost any way you want. It’s fun to play the add-a-vacation game yourself or talk to your travel agent.
Triple room reduction On most Globus vacations you receive a reduction when three people travel together and share the same accommodations. Triple room reductions, when available, are listed on the itinerary pages. A word of caution: Triple rooms usually are no larger than twin rooms and the third bed, if there is one, is often a rollaway put in a twin-bedded room.
Avoid the single room supplement We do not take reservations on a “share” basis because we have found that strangers rarely enjoy sharing a room for the duration of their vacation. Avoid the single room supplement by traveling with a friend. It’s less expensive and much more fun!
