Journey on an island adventure from your hotel on Maui to Oahu, the most populous of the Hawaiian Islands filled with magnificent beaches, world-famous surfers, historical landmarks, and cultural flair. Tour the important landmark of Pearl Harbor, which suffered a devastating attack by Japanese bombers on December 7, 1941. It was on that catastrophic day that the United States lost thousand of brave soldiers to the terrors of war. Among them were the 1,177 men aboard the U.S.S. Arizona battleship. After a bomb hit the vessel, it quickly sank, leaving the men on board with no means of escape. Remember this solemn day as you visit the Arizona Memorial, which rests over the top of the sunken ship. You’ll also visit the U.S. Pacific Fleet Headquarters and the World War II Museum.

Next, it’s off to the Dole Pineapple Plantation, a huge agricultural center of the island, which will offer you a tour of the facility and allow you to taste the fresh, local fruits. Throughout the day, you’ll see the world-renowned beaches of Oahu, such as Waimea Bay, Pipeline and Sunset Beach. These famous beaches have monstrous waves that draw surfers from around the world. You’ll also enjoy the unique isles of Chinaman’s Hat and Rabbit Island, and drive through the Diamond Head Crater, formed by the island’s volcano systems.

Finally, visit the Polynesian Cultural Center, a living museum where you’ll enjoy a multicultural Polynesian show, visit native Hawaiian villages and visit with native people. You’ll gain a new perspective and appreciation for island life and enjoy a delicious BBQ buffet.
