Cruising In Hawaii
The islands of Hawaii are a dream destination for many
travelers, and a cruise that incorporates all four of the
state's beautiful islands could be just the ticket for your
vacation plans. Each island has its own beauty and charm and is
not the same as the others. From "Big Island" to Maui, to Oahu,
to Kauai, there is something different and special about each
local flavor. The best way to get a real taste of Hawaii, is to
try the sample platter. Below, here is a little bit of what each
individual island has to offer.
Kauai is the smallest and furthest from the "Big Island," but do
not count it out in terms of local culture. Nicknamed the
"Garden Island" for its rich wildlife and beautiful scenery, the
island of Kauai is home to all kinds of different nature-based
activities. You can go kayaking, biking, tubing, whale watching,
off road sightseeing, picnicking, snorkeling, on eco tours,
dinner cruises, or see a little bit of everything from an
airplane tour. The best that Hawaii's nature ha to offer is on
the beautiful island of Kauai, and it is often used in Hollywood
films for its representation of the natural wildlife of Hawaii,
from garden to beach to Waimea Canyon, which you can traverse on
a day long tour while visiting the island.
Working your way back toward "Big Island," your cruise boat will
stop next at Oahu, the next largest island in the Hawaiian
quartet. Home to the famous Waikiki beach resort, Oahu is known
as the gathering place, and has been the dominant island in the
chain since Honolulu was declared the capital some two
hundred
years ago. You can find most of the comforts of home on this
developed island, but you can also go snorkeling or skydiving
along the beautiful coast of the island. You can make a stop at
Pearl Harbor for a bit of historical learning, and then go
across the island to check out the Polynesian Cultural Center
and fin out more about the rich cultural history of the island's
natives.
Like the rest of Hawaii's islands, Maui has a host of outdoor
activities, from kayaking, to biking, to ATV tours and more.
Learn to parasail or surf off the coast or attend an evening
luau. Some of the finest beaches and golf courses in the world
are located on this island, and the summit of the Haleakala
volcano is truly a sight to behold.
Moving on to our final island, your cruise will pull up to "Big
Island," which is also called Hawaii. It is actually larger than
the rest of the three islands combined, and so there is a lot
more to see and do. While Hawaii boasts much of the same
activities as the other islands, including eco tours, island day
trips, and surfing, there are things that you can only do on the
island of Hawaii, such as touring the Hawaii Volcanoes National
Park. Whatever you decide to do, there is plenty of natural
beauty around and lots of outdoor activities to keep everyone
engaged and entertained.
