The 7-Day Hawaii Vacation on Oahu Island, Big Island, and Maui Island
October 18th, 2011With so many tour packages and vacation deals available online, it was difficult for my girlfriend and me to choose not only where to go, but which vacation package to choose from. In the end, we settled on the Hawaii 7-Day Deluxe Tour on Oahu Island, Big Island, Maui Island with Go2Travel365.com. We’re glad we did! Our experience with this particular Hawaii guided tour was second to none.
When we arrived at the Honolulu Airport, our guide picked us up and took us to our hotel. We settled in and spent the evening enjoying the breathtaking views from the hotel bar, sipping Mai Tais and eating fresh catch while the waves roared upon a rocky beach. We turned in relatively early so we could get a fresh start the next morning.
On day 2, we had a Honolulu city tour and visited the Arizona Memorial Visitor Center, where we could feel the history and the tragedy of the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack, giving us a vivid sense of place on this island that has played such an important role in US history and the world events. The recorded film of the 1941 attack is something to be seen, bested only by the Navy launch for a trip to the memorial itself. The rest of the day was spent looking in awe at the Iolani Palace (the ONLY royal palace on US Territory!), the Kawalahao Church and the Statue of King Kamehameha, among other attractions.
Every day was more beautiful than the last. We have a mini circle island on day 3. Waikiki Beach, with its high rises and hotels, provides an urban vacation paradise second to none in the world. From there, 75 miles of coastline tour gave us even more breathtaking views of Kahala, Haaona Blowhole, Makapuu Beach, Hawaiian homestead lands and the Nunanu Pali lookout.
The next two days, we spent island hopping to the Big Island of Hawaii and Maui Island, respectively. We still glow with the memories and visions of Volcanoes National Park, the Fields of Orchids, Black Sand Beach and Rainbow Falls. On Maui, we basked in the sunlit Fields of Sugarcane, Tropical Plantation, Wailea Beach and the fascinating Lahaina Whaling Village.
We visited Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) on day 6. This is the world’s most successful cultural theme attraction. It was founded in 1963 by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
During the entire seven-day tour, it seemed nearly impossible that we could see anything that would trump the previous stop, but the vistas just kept on coming. With such a vast landscape and such a varied topography, I couldn’t imagine trying to organize a Hawaii tour as well rounded and convenient as this. And the best part of all was that we were able to book our own flights and save a bundle with discount airlines!
