10 Days in Oahu, Maui and Kauai

Sometimes called “The Gathering Place,” Oahu certainly lives up to its name. The third largest Hawaiian island is home to the majority of Hawaii’s diverse population, a fusion of East and West cultures rooted in the values and traditions of the Native Hawaiian people. Check into the Queen Kapiolani Hotel Waikiki Beach and relax from your long journey. Get ready to explore all that Oahu has to offer tomorrow.

A beautiful beach to spend the day, Waimea Bay Beach Park is a must!

Discover the contrast between the bustling Waikiki and Honolulu and the laidback beauty of the North Shore. Visit Pearl Harbor in the morning, then take a drive to the North Shore and visit a macademia nut farm and sample some of the delicious varieties of macademia nuts. Don't forget to bring home some delicious coffee-roasted macademia nuts. Here's a tip: Before returning home, gather your souvenirs and take them to the post office to ship home by Priority Mail so you don't have to pack them in your suitcase. Grab a bite to eat at one of the delicious food trucks before returning to your hotel.

After a short flight from Maui, you will pick up your rental car and head to Napili, just north of Ka'anapali. Get settled into your comfortable condo at the Napili Kai Beach Resort. Relax amid the natural beauty and warmth of Maui at Napili Kai Beach Resort where you'll discover the amenities of a full-service Hawaiian hotel combined with the timeless tradition of Aloha. Offering boutique condominium accommodations right on the beach in a peaceful, uncomplicated setting: low-rise buildings scattered over ten oceanfront acres of lush tropical gardens on one of Maui's most beautiful snorkeling bays, Napili Bay.

Get up early to watch the sunrise above the clouds at Haleakala. It will take your breath away! Tip: Dress warm! It gets cold at the summit (10,023 ft. elevation) no matter what time of year you go. Park reservations are required.

It's another day to start out early for your drive to Hana. Be sure to fuel up and bring a picnic lunch from Paia town before you head out. While Hana is a beautiful little sleepy town, the journey is more important than the destination. We'll tell you how to find secret hidden spots along the way so you don't miss out on some of the spectacular waterfalls or places to stop for a picnic lunch. Be sure to stop for some delicious banana bread and smoothies during your drive.

Enjoy a delicious dinner while you watch the sunset with your love as you sail along the Maui coastline.

Experience an authentic Hawaiian luau where every seat in the house is a good one. Choose from a traditional Hawaiian luau or one with fire dancers.

Check into the beautiful Ko'a Kea Hotel in Kauai. Schedule an appointment for a lomi lomi massage followed by dinner at the Red Salt Restaurant.

Take a drive up to the north shore of Kauai to take in the spectacular scenery of Princeville and Hanalei. Spend some time on Hanalei Bay. Then join your sunset dinner cruise as you sail along the breathtaking Napali Coast. Please note: you will get wet on the dinner cruise. We also recommend taking a helicopter flight over Kauai (amazing!) - doors on or off!
