Trafalgar

Receive a flower lei welcome from your Travel Director in Honolulu and join your fellow travellers for dinner in Waikiki. The gathering offers a welcoming introduction to the people sharing your four-island journey, with the Pacific shoreline close by.

Lei are traditionally given in Hawai?i as expressions of welcome, affection and respect. Wearing one brings a personal touch to your first evening, while Waikiki’s ocean breezes set the scene for the journey.

Explore Oahu beyond Waikiki on a scenic coastal sightseeing tour, including a photo stop at Halona Blowhole and views of the island’s celebrated North Shore. Watch for surf breaking along beaches whose winter swells draw experienced riders from around the world.

Oahu’s shorelines reveal striking contrasts: volcanic rock at Halona, open stretches of sand in the north and the green slopes of the windward coast. The journey offers a broader view of island life and landscape.

Visit Pearl Harbor National Memorial and the USS Arizona Memorial to reflect on the attack of December 7, 1941. See the memorial above the battleship’s resting place and consider the lives lost in an event that brought the United States into World War II.

Historical interpretation gives context to the harbor and the people who served here. This is a place for quiet reflection as well as learning, with the sunken Arizona remaining a powerful witness to the events of that morning.

Travel through the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, set within Honolulu’s Punchbowl Crater. The scenic drive offers a chance to consider the service of members of the United States armed forces in a setting framed by the crater’s volcanic slopes.

Known in Hawaiian as Puowaina, the crater holds a solemn place in the city’s landscape. The cemetery honours those who served, connecting Oahu’s natural history with the human stories of conflict and remembrance across the Pacific.

Join a guided walk through downtown Honolulu to view ?Iolani Palace, the King Kamehameha I Statue and the Hawai?i State Capitol. Seeing these landmarks together brings the political and cultural history of the Hawaiian Kingdom into focus.

?Iolani Palace was the residence of Hawai?i’s last reigning monarchs; the visit views it from outside rather than entering. Nearby, the statue honours the ruler who united the islands, while the Capitol represents Hawai?i’s place as a modern U.S. state.

Discover Kailua-Kona on the Big Island’s sunny west coast, where the waterfront reflects Hawai?i’s long relationship with the sea. Take in the setting of this historic coastal town, a contrast to the volcanic landscapes elsewhere on the island.

Once an important centre of Hawaiian royal life, Kailua-Kona remains closely tied to local maritime culture and the surrounding Kona district. The visit offers a sense of place without promising entry to particular buildings or additional activities not specified in the tour.

Learn about reef manta rays with a Local Specialist at the Manta Ray Learning Center in Keauhou. Explore their life cycle, feeding habits and the research and education supporting their protection along the Kona coast.

At the resort’s Pa?akai Point, lights shining into the water can attract plankton and, in turn, feeding manta rays. Watch for mantas from shore in one of Hawai?i’s noted viewing areas, while remembering that sightings of wild animals are never guaranteed.

Meet your local host at Kona Salt Farm for a Be My Guest experience centred on Hawaiian salt. See how salt is produced from deep ocean water, taste different salts to compare their flavours and enjoy a hosted lunch.

Your host shares the place of salt in Hawaiian culture and explains how this method of production differs from others. The combination of conversation, tasting and a meal makes this a personal encounter with a distinctive Kona product.

Explore Greenwell Farms on a guided visit tracing Kona coffee from plant to cup. Learn how the beans are grown and processed, then taste 100% Kona coffee in the district whose name it carries.

The farm’s coffee heritage stretches back more than 150 years. Its approach includes water reclamation, mulching and solar-powered operations, alongside crops such as pepper and vanilla. This MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® visit connects a regional speciality with the people and practices that sustain it.

Experience a Hawaiian luau on Keauhou Bay with an evening of local food, tropical drinks and live performance. Listen for the call of a conch shell and the pulse of drums as dancers present traditions from Hawai?i and the wider Pacific.

Held beneath trees and the night sky, the gathering brings food, music and storytelling together beside the Kona coast. It is a hosted cultural dinner rather than a standard hotel meal, with performance at the heart of the experience.

Take a private guided tour of Grove Farm, a preserved plantation homestead in Lihu?e. Visit original buildings, including the main house and other historic structures, and learn about the lives connected to Kaua?i’s nineteenth-century sugar industry.

The roughly 100-acre property retains its farm setting, gardens and buildings associated with residents and plantation workers. Walking through this lived-in landscape offers a more personal perspective on an industry that profoundly shaped Kaua?i’s communities and economy.

Travel towards Waimea Canyon State Park for views of deeply cut gorges and bands of red, brown and green rock. Often called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, this vast Kaua?i landscape reveals the effects of erosion on an ancient volcanic island.

Light and passing cloud continually change the canyon’s colours. Access is subject to conditions: the supplied itinerary notes a closure at Waimea Canyon and says an alternative routing will be offered while it is unavailable. Confirm the applicable route with your tour operator.

Join a guided tour of Allerton and McBryde Gardens in Kaua?i’s Lawa?i Valley. Travel into McBryde Garden, visit conservation and horticultural areas for a behind-the-scenes view, and see rare native Hawaiian plants among collections from the Pacific and beyond.

At Allerton Garden, explore landscaped outdoor rooms with pools, fountains and sculpture. This MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience reveals both the beauty of the gardens and their conservation work; your visit supports efforts to protect and restore threatened plant life.

Choose to explore the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu, where village presentations introduce traditions from six Pacific cultures. Watch artisans and performers demonstrate practices such as dance, plant-based clothing and jewellery making, and learn how stories and knowledge have been preserved across generations.

The visit offers a closer look at the variety of cultures represented across Polynesia rather than treating the Pacific as a single tradition. This optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Explore the Big Island’s Kohala region on an off-road adventure paired with a relaxed trail walk to a hidden waterfall. Take in a scenic overlook of Pololu Valley, where steep green cliffs frame the island’s northern coastline.

This outing combines a closer look at Kohala’s landscape with a perspective rarely offered by a coastal drive alone. Expect uneven outdoor terrain on the walking portion. The experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Choose a snorkelling trip along the Kona coast, with waters around Pu?uhonua o Honaunau and Kealakekua Bay named in the itinerary. Look beneath the surface for marine life and explore coastal scenery shaped by lava, including sea caves and tubes where conditions allow.

The Big Island’s clear western waters offer a different view of its volcanic landscape, from the shoreline down into the sea. Marine sightings and the route depend on conditions. This optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Discover the volcanic landscapes of Hawai?i Volcanoes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site encompassing Kilauea and Mauna Loa. View features such as the Steam Vents and Kilauea Crater while learning how volcanic activity has shaped the islands.

The park protects landscapes of geological, ecological and cultural importance to Hawai?i. Rising steam and the scale of the crater make the forces beneath the Big Island tangible, although visible volcanic activity and access can vary with conditions.

Visit one of Hawai?i’s celebrated black sand beaches, where dark volcanic grains meet the Pacific surf. Look out for Hawaiian green sea turtles, which are known to rest on the shore; sightings depend on wildlife movements and cannot be guaranteed.

Black sand forms as volcanic rock breaks down along the coast, creating a vivid contrast with blue water and coastal greenery. If turtles are present, observing them from a respectful distance protects these animals and their resting place.

Visit ?Iao Valley State Park on Maui to see steep, green ridges rising around one of the island’s most recognisable landmarks, the ?Iao Needle. Take in the valley’s lush scenery and learn why this landscape holds significance beyond its striking appearance.

The valley is associated with an important battle in the late eighteenth century during Kamehameha I’s campaign to unify the Hawaiian Islands. Its layered history lends depth to the mountain views, making this both a scenic and cultural stop.

Drive beneath the leafy canopy of Kaua?i’s Tunnel of Trees and visit Spouting Horn on the island’s south shore. At the blowhole, watch ocean swells force water through a lava tube, sometimes sending a spray high above the rocks.

The avenue of trees brings a shaded, distinctive character to the drive, while Spouting Horn shows the force of the Po?ipu coastline. Listen for the rush of water associated in Hawaiian legend with the mo?o, a powerful lizard-like being.

Join your fellow travellers for a farewell dinner on Kaua?i and raise a toast to the landscapes and encounters of the four-island journey. It is a shared closing occasion rather than an independent restaurant recommendation or an unhosted evening meal.

Conversation around the table offers space to revisit the volcanic scenery, coastal views and cultural experiences that distinguish each island. The gathering celebrates the connections made along the way, with Kaua?i providing the setting for a final evening together.

Add a meal and a performance of Ha: Breath of Life to a Polynesian Cultural Center visit. The theatrical production uses song, dance and fire performance to tell a story drawing on Pacific cultural traditions.

For travellers who want an evening performance as well as the village experience, this add-on brings the centre’s storytelling to the stage. The show-and-meal option is at additional cost and bookable on tour; it is separate from the optional village visit.

Explore Kaua?i’s screen history on a movie-location tour visiting sites associated with films and television programmes. View clips of productions filmed on the island while seeing the landscapes that appeared on screen.

Kaua?i’s valleys, beaches and dense greenery have made it a compelling stand-in for many cinematic settings. Comparing familiar scenes with the places themselves adds a playful perspective to the island’s scenery. This optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

See Kaua?i from above on an optional scenic helicopter flight. An aerial viewpoint reveals the island’s folds of green terrain and rugged coastline on a scale that is difficult to appreciate from the road.

For travellers comparing ways to explore Kaua?i, the flight offers a distinctly different perspective on its volcanic landscape. The route and views depend on flying conditions and the operator’s arrangements. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.
