Day 2 & 3: Kahului, Maui
Bursting with breathtaking natural splendour, fascinating history and genuine hospitality, it’s no wonder Maui is one of Hawaii’s most popular islands. Explore the storied streets of Lahaina, once called Lele (‘Relentless Sun’) and famous for being the old capital of the Hawaiian kingdom and a flourishing whaling port.
Alternatively, laze the day away on any of the island’s pristine beaches, or swing into relaxation on one of fourteen golf courses, all beautiful and most considered among the very best in the world.
Spend an overnight docked here to make the most of your surroundings. If you’re feeling adventurous, pamper your palate across several restaurants in the historical district of Wailuku, which sits at the foot of the West Maui Mountains and offers a chance to taste the island’s unique cuisine.

Kona offers the quintessential Hawaii experience – sun-kissed days, crystal blue waters, world-class reef snorkelling and legendary waves all. Embark on a kayaking trip, head further into the sparkling waters for some deep-sea fishing or dive deeper into the Big Island’s history and explore life of the early Hawaiians along with the influence of Catholic missionaries.
Alternatively, visit Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park, which offers a glimpse into the early culture, as it was a place of refuge for those who violated the sacred laws known as kapu.

Named after the strange and soulful wiliwili trees that once lined its picturesque harbour, the gorgeous port of Nawiliwili is the gateway to Hawaii’s arguably most beautiful island. Known as ‘The Garden Isle’, nature is truly the star on Kauai – from the dramatic mountains of Kokee to the cool rainforests of Haena. With two days to soak up the region, you’re in for an absolute treat.
If you’re after a glimpse of traditional culture, a ‘luau’ provides lively entertainment, unique to Hawaii: dine on a lavish buffet of local delicacies while you feast your eyes on graceful hulas and traditional fire dances. Alternatively, head to the gorgeous Na Pali coast – its striking jungle-clad cliffs were the setting for the blockbuster movie, Jurassic Park.
