One of the dream vacation spots for most tourists, Hawaii is a popular destination for cruise ships. Round-trips from Hawaii usually departing from and arriving in Honolulu, or those that leave from San Diego or Los Angeles are trendy as they offer several shore stops. Either one-way or round-trip schedules from here are available. Cruising the islands is the favorite pastime of visitors and most ships offer a lot to keep you busy on board as well. It is best to check the different itineraries to find which cruise suits your needs the best. Each cruise should have some shore excursions on the individual islands. Most islands have good diving and snorkeling facilities and there are lots of swimming and surfing spots. Hawaii also has several bike and hiking trails. For those just wanting to relax, there are the world famous Hawaiian beaches. Four of the eight main Hawaiian Islands are ports of call on cruise itineraries. The largest of the Hawaiian Islands is the Big Island, which has everything from an active volcano to a jungle-like botanical garden. The sunrise at Haleakala on Maui, one of the top vacation spots in the world, is a must for tourists. Oah’u is home to Honolulu, the state capital, Waikiki Beach and Pearl Harbor and Kaua’i the “Garden Isle” was the first landing spot of Captain James Cook in the 18th century.
Short day cruises to enjoy the rich and beautiful culture of Hawaii and the majesty of the Humpback Whale are also very popular. Approximately lasting 2.5 hours, these tours allow you to enjoy the tropical waters with the backdrop of the amazing Diamond Head. At the same time you can participate in the cultural activities of Hawaii including lei making, hula lessons, ukulele lessons and coconut palm frond weaving, while watching the majestic Humpback whale! The tour operates daily from Oahu but remember whales are only seen between December and April. An all-you-can-eat Hawaiian buffet is often included on this perfect short tour for the whole family.
