Good morning and welcome to Maui. The Valley Isle has been voted the best island in the world.

You’ll agree that there’s nothing on earth quite like it. The next two days are free for you to enjoy at your leisure.

Day 7 Hilo–Overnight Cruising to Kona
Larger than Hawaii’s other main islands combined, the “Big Island” of Hawaii is spectacularly diverse in both landscapes and activities.

The entire day is open to independent activities. You will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of shore excursions, including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Rainbow Falls. Experience the 80-foot falls that cascade into a circular pool in the Wailuku River—as they hit the water below, rainbows often appear in the mist.

After a brief return to Hilo’s airport, take to the skies again for an exploration of Hawaii’s lush rainforest and Hamakua coastline. For those who prefer to stay a little more grounded, discover the historic city of Kona along Hawaii’s beautiful sun-drenched Gold Coast.
