A ten day trip to the beautiful Hawaiian islands to celebrate your 40th anniversary in April. You will leave Portland on a non-stop flight to Maui. At the airport in Maui you will be welcomed Hawaiian style with fresh flower lei'. You will proceed to pick up your Alamo Intermediate rental car and head to the wonderful Royal Lahaina Resort. You will check into your deluxe ocean view room for four nights. The rest of the day is for relaxing and soaking up the wonderful view. Take a stroll along the beach in the warm sunshine before having a wonderful dinner. The rest of the four days will be filled with sightseeing and activities. Drive the road to Hana, drive to the top of 10,000 foot Haleakala crater to Haleakala National park visitor center to watch the sunrise. As the sun peeks over the horizon, an ever-changing swirl of color and light dance across the vast sea of clouds. Enjoy the Hana Cave Quest excursion.
At the end of the four days you will board a non-stop 30 minute flight to the Island of Hawaii. You will pick up your Alamo intermediate rental car at the airport. You will spend six nights at the beautiful Westin Hapuna Beach Hotel (formerly the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel) in an ocean view room. On the island of Hawaii is Volcano National Park. The island of Hawaii is the youngest and largest island in the Hawaiian chain. Nearly twice as big as all of the other Hawaiian Islands combined (hence, its nickname, “Big Island”), its sheer size is awe-inspiring. You can travel through all but four of the world's different climate zones there, ranging from Wet Tropical to Polar Tundra, a result of the shielding effect and elevations of the massive volcanoes Maunakea and Maunaloa. From the molten magma flowing at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to the snow-capped heights of Maunakea; from the lush valleys of the Hamakua Coast to the jet-black sands of Punaluu Beach, the island of Hawaii is an unrivaled expression of the power of nature. However you decide to experience the island, it is sure to leave you humbled! Explore Kohala Waterfalls. Take the Big Island Spectacular Tour. Discover both the Big Island's beauty and its volcanic fury. Tour the most geologically active environment on earth-the famous Kilauea volcano, which has been continuously erupting since 1983. View lava flows and black sand beaches. Enjoy an evening of good food and Hawaiian tradition of music and dancing at the Royal Kona Voyagers of the Pacific Luau.
At the end of the ten days you will board a non-stop flight home for Portland.
