Hawaii Cruises: Excursions

This amazing river kayak adventure takes you into the 241-acre Huleia National Wildlife Refuge, a refuge not open to the public. The Huleia is home to some of Hawaii's native wetland birds and plants. Visit famous movie locations in the shade of mango trees along the shore of the river. At the end of your 2 1/2-mile downwind paddle, you'll take an interesting 1/2-mile nature walk along an exotic forest trail. Next, your guides will take you on a short van ride to the head of a lush jungle trail where you begin your hike to two secluded, very private waterfalls! The largest waterfall, Jungle Falls, is 50 feet and drops into a shallow pool where you can relax and enjoy this tropical setting. Wrap up your journey with a custom-made deli lunch in a 'picnic hale' on a bluff overlooking the Huleia Valley. Note: Participants must be at least 6 years of age and weigh no more than 250 lbs.

You'll be met by your instructors and led to the beach where expert surfers will first instruct you on land. Then paddle out to ride your first wave! You'll be 'hanging ten' in no time.

If you wish to stay on the beach longer than the time allotted, you may return to the ship on your own. When docking in Kahului, round-trip transportation to Lahaina is included.

The tour starts with a historic and scenic drive to the start of the zip course. Descend the mountainside sailing along a series of seven zip lines.
