Hawaii Cruises: Excursions

For the most convenient and cost efficient way to travel to Lahaina – a quaint town on the shores of west Maui – use this round-trip motorcoach service. You’ll ride in comfort for approximately 45 minutes each way, enjoying views of the spectacular west Maui mountains and the tranquil coastline. Your motorcoach will make two stops, at Hilo Hatties and at the flagpole next to the Lahaina Wharf. Dozens of boutiques, shops, restaurants, and historical sites will all be within easy walking distance from both locations. Note: Feel free to check onboard at the Shore Excursion Desk as some tours may also be combined with the ‘Lahaina on your Own’ tour allowing time in Lahaina with another tour. The return transfer back to the ship departs the meeting location at 3:00 pm. less

Start your morning right with locally-grown and freshly roasted Hawaiian coffee at the famous Hilo Coffee Mill on your way to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Once you arrive at the park, an experienced guide will take your intimate sized group on short leisurely strolls through lush rainforest alive with native birds, incredible foliage and a ‘walk through’ lava tube. Explore hidden overlooks off the beaten path and witness the explosive power of Halemaumau Crater. Walk across new lava formations and actually see the rebirth of the native Hawaiian rainforest in its first stages of life. Enjoy a stop at the Jaggar Museum with its real time seismographs, eruption footage and beautiful displays of lava and Hawaiian geology. Embrace this natural wonder that was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. Enjoy a picnic style specialty lunch and a complimentary glass of wine on the lush grounds of Volcano Garden Arts, a fine art gallery showcasing Hawaiian artists. A definite treat for the senses! No gourmet adventure would be complete without a stop at Big Island Candies known for their handmade macadamia nut shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate!

Par: 72, Yardage 6,755. Dominating Maui's skyline is the majestic 10,023-foot dormant volcano, Mt. Haleakala. Meandering across her lower foothills are the pristine fairways of the Wailea Old Blue Course. Stretching 6,765 yards from its tips, this classic Arthur Jack Snyder beauty has charmed her way into the heart of many a Wailea golfer. With cooling fountains, serene lakes, exotic blossoms and coral sand bunkers, the Old Blue is a true Hawaiian resort course. Her immaculate fairways are woven through the resort, offering a picturesque 'tour' of Wailea, with spectacular views of the azure ocean and dramatic volcanic slopes. Her graceful design and generous fairways offer a pleasing repast for 'weekend' golfers, but elevation changes and strategically placed hazards have tested some of the best professional players. Like Wailea's other courses, ocean vistas are to be found at every hole. In fact, years back when the LPGA Women's Kemper Open was played here, tournament officials had to admonish some of the competitors for slow play. Turns out the pros were dallying at the 12th hole to do a little whale watching. Note: Greens fees, cart rentals and round-trip transportation to and from the course is included. Tee times at this beautiful professionally-designed course are limited and therefore are non-refundable once booked. less

Par: 72, Yardage 6,547. Volcano Golf Course is one of the world's most unusual courses.

Note: Greens fees, cart rentals and round-trip transportation to and from the course are included. Tee times at this beautiful professionally-designed course are limited and therefore are non-refundable once booked. This golf course is not available on the first Tuesday of every month. less
