Hike the lunar landscape of Haleakala Crater and the verdant, soaring cliffs of the Na Pali Coast. Trek near colorful Waimea Canyon and stark Volcanoes National Park. Relax on white-sand beaches and swim in rock-bound pools. Experience Hawaii as few have--off the beaten path!
The islands of Maui, Kauai, and the “Big Island” of Hawaii are our playgrounds for this adventure in paradise. We drive the famous Hana Highway, venture into the heart of Haleakala Crater, explore the wonders of Volcanoes National Park, hike the legendary Na Pali Coast and visit spectacular Waimea Canyon.
Inn highlights: Characterizing our Hawaiian inns are the Hana Kai Maui Resort, perched on a black sand beach; Kilauea Lodge, a former schoolhouse; and the beachside, 1920's-era Waimea Plantation Cottages
