Begin with a tour of PEARL HARBOR’S famous battleship row. Listen to the narration of the dramatic air attack of December 7, 1941, and visit the USS Arizona and the impressive MEMORIAL to the 1,102 men still entombed. You will also have an opportunity to visit the MUSEUM, which is an excellent way to learn about Pearl Harbor Day, the Japanese strategy and military craft, and the individuals involved in the attack. As a partner with the Traveler’s Conservation Foundation, Globus has chosen this museum for preservation and restoration funding. Then on to Punchbowl National Cemetery. Other sights include Chinatown, Hawaii’s state capitol, the royal Iolani Palace, and the statue of Kamehameha the Great.

You will have an opportunity to learn and experience the history of Kona’s coffee industry and the remarkable story of the pioneers who established these farms. Then transfer to your oceanfront resort on the sunny west coast of Hawaii’s largest island, whose total land mass is more than twice the combined area of all the other islands. Maybe spend the afternoon relaxing poolside. This evening enjoy a lavish LUAU feast, then sit back and watch the captivating Polynesian revue of dancers and musicians. Note: On some departures, the luau will be held on day 6. (B,D) Day 5  Kona. Today visit HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK.

Transfer to the airport for the short and scenic flight to Kahului on the “Valley Island” of Maui. Drive to the lush IAO VALLEY to see the Iao Needle, a spectacular volcanic spire.

(B) Day 8  Maui. The day is free for you to enjoy at your leisure. Perhaps join the optional excursion to Haleakala National Park, site of the huge volcanic Haleakala Crater, known to the islanders as the “House of the Sun.” The park is in a setting of stunning natural beauty, ranging from cinder cones to dense rain forest. In 1980 this fragile native ecosystem was designated an International Biosphere Reserve. Plenty of time in the afternoon to relax and enjoy your resort’s facilities.
