Visit Pearl Harbor National Memorial and the USS Arizona Memorial to reflect on the attack of December 7, 1941. Exhibits and memorial spaces place this pivotal event in its wartime context and honour those who died.

Explore Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Island of Hawaii and view its steam vents and Kilauea crater landscape. The visit reveals how volcanic activity has shaped the islands’ terrain.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site protects landscapes associated with Kilauea and Mauna Loa, alongside distinctive native ecosystems and places of deep Hawaiian cultural significance. Conditions around active volcanic areas can change, making the park’s geology an especially vivid subject to encounter in person.

A luau is more than a dinner: performance, music and shared food bring cultural traditions into a social gathering. Set beneath coastal trees and the night sky, this included experience offers a lively introduction to that spirit of hospitality.

Travel towards Waimea Canyon State Park for views of a vast Kauai landscape cut by erosion into ridges and deep gorges. Its exposed rock shifts between red, brown and green as light moves across the canyon walls.

Drive beneath Kauai’s Tunnel of Trees, where a canopy of mature trees arches over the road, and stop at Spouting Horn on the south coast. Watch surf force water through a natural opening in the lava rock.

The blowhole’s spray and hollow roar have long captured visitors’ attention; its sound also features in a Hawaiian legend about a mo?o, or lizard-like creature. Conditions determine how high the water rises, giving each visit a different coastal display.

Kohala’s green terrain and remote outlooks contrast with Kona’s drier coast, making this a choice for travellers who want active time outdoors. The excursion is optional, at additional cost and bookable on tour.

See Kauai from the air on a scenic helicopter flight. An elevated perspective reveals the island’s folded ridges, deep valleys and coastline on a scale that is difficult to grasp from the road.

Travel through the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, set within Honolulu’s Punchbowl Crater. This scenic drive introduces a place of remembrance dedicated to US service members, framed by the slopes of an extinct volcanic crater.

Known in Hawaiian as Puowaina, the setting carries meaning beyond its commanding views. Its memorials and carefully tended grounds invite quiet reflection on lives lost in conflicts across the Pacific and beyond.

Learn about reef manta rays with a Local Specialist at the Manta Ray Learning Center in Keauhou. Discover their life cycle, why they gather off the Kona coast and how local research and education support their protection.

At the coastal resort, lights shining into the water attract plankton, which can draw feeding mantas close to shore. Look out for mantas from Pa?akai Point; sightings depend on wildlife conditions and cannot be guaranteed.

Tour Greenwell Farms to follow Kona coffee from plant to cup, and taste 100% Kona coffee where it is grown. Learn how cultivation and roasting influence the flavour of beans produced on the island’s western slopes.

Visit ?Iao Valley State Park on Maui to take in its steep, green walls and the distinctive ?Iao Needle, a vegetation-covered rock formation rising above the valley floor. The visit offers a close view of the island’s lush volcanic interior.

The valley holds historical and cultural importance in Hawaii, including its association with the 1790 Battle of Kepaniwai. Its sheltered landscape provides a striking contrast to Maui’s resort beaches and drier coastal areas.
