Your trip to Hawaii begins in Honolulu, the capital of the Hawaiian Islands located on Oahu.

Journey back in time to December 7, 1941 at Pearl Harbor, paying your respects at the USS Arizona Memorial and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl Crater before you tour downtown Honolulu and see Iolani Palace. Another day, hit the trails at Diamond Head and enjoy the panoramic views of the city and ocean waves stretching beneath the mountain peaks. Finally, board a hi-tech diving submarine to explore beneath the ocean waves, spotting colourful coral reefs, exotic sea life, and shipwrecks lining the Waikiki coastline.
Continue your Hawaii vacation by connecting to Maui, picking up your rental car, and settling into your hotel. Over the next few days, you’ll discover the golden bays and valleys of the Valley Isle. A snorkelling tour takes you beneath the waves of Molokini Crater to explore its marine preserve and bird sanctuary before you head to Turtle Town to snorkel alongside Hawaiian green sea turtles, some of the friendliest denizens of the sea. Back on land, you’ll get your nature fix with a hike to the rainforest waterfalls of East Maui. You’ll even have a chance to cool off with a refreshing dip in a waterfall pool.
At the end of your trip to Hawaii, return to the airport, drop off your rental car, and connect for onward travels.

Half Day Molokini and Turtle Snorkel Tour
Take a snorkeling tour to the Molokini Crater and Turtle Town from Maalaea harbor. Encounter the extinct volcanic cone of Molokini and marvel at native Hawaiian marine life in their natural habitat.
Start the day off right with a breakfast of eggs, ham, cinnamon rolls, donuts, coffee, fruit, and juice. Get ready to spot the manta rays, fish, and sharks, who swim around the coral year-round. Molokini is protected as a marine preserve and bird sanctuary, so expect pristine conditions.
Use the snorkeling equipment to explore the underwater world. Enjoy riding down the two water slides to splash into the water.
Take a peek at the reef without getting in the water via the glass-bottom viewing room. Have peace of mind knowing a lifeguard will be in the water at all times watching over the snorkelers and ready to help if required.
After leaving Molokini, head for your second snorkeling spot of the day at Turtle Town. Take the chance to swim with Hawaiian green sea turtles amid the calm waters before returning to the boat for lunch.
Take advantage of the boat's amenities which include two slides, two freshwater showers, quality snorkeling gear, flotation devices, and restrooms. The boat features an easy-to-use stairway in and out of the water, and lots of shade if you want to stay out of the sun.
