Cruising

If you haven't cruised before it is time you did.
It is like having an all inclusive without being stuck in one location.

The food is fantastic. The destinations almost limitless. From the far north of Antartica to the Caribbean.

On board the cruise ship there are activities for all ages from dancing to cooking. There are live shows and movies. There are childrens activities. You name it they have it.

Let me take you on a cruise to the Hawaiian Islands. We board in Honolulu and set sail. You can lounge outside and watch the sun set as you sip on your drink.

We wake up in Maui and take one of the local buses to the other side of the island. Here the beaches are beautiful white sand. There is sailing or motor boat rides or just a leisurely stroll down the streets of Lahaina.

As the day draws to an end we head back to the cruise ship and board taking our souvenirs with us. We stay here for another day. So the next day we head into town and go to the shopping mall. In the evening we set sail and head for the Big Island of Hawaii.

This morning we awake in Kona. A wonderful place to site see. There are excursions on board the ship which will take you on a abus tour of the area. The surrounding area is very lush and green. After the day of visiting the area the ship leaves and heads around to the other side to the city of Hilo.

As we go around the Island we see the volcano flows coming into the ocean. There is a lot of steam and being that it is dark out we see the red glow of the flow. This is really spectacular.
There is an excursion where you can go up to the lava flow and see it in person.

After Hilo we head over to Kaui. Here we have a river cruise booked. This takes us to the inside of the Island. The scenery is breath taking. The girls do a hula for us. We also do a plantation tour and see the banana groves.

We spend two days on Kaui and therefore have time to stroll around in town.

Finally we head back to Honolulu where we disembark and say goodbye. We were fortunate enough to have some extra time in Honolulu. I would suggest that if you haven't been there that you take some extra time to stay and see what there is to see. Pearl harbor was a must see on my list and the Polynesian Centre which really could use two days. One just didn't seem to be enough time to get to everything.

If you require any more information email me or contact me I would be delighted to help you book a cruise to anywhere your dreams want to go.
