Day 2: Honolulu - Waikiki
Observe Hawaii's spectacular rainforest plants as you walk into the lush Koolau mountains that rise above the aquamarine waters of Kaneohe Bay on a shared, moderate, two hour morning hike. See several beautifully feathered tropical bird species, as you visit a secluded, cascading waterfall that spills into a tranquil private rainforest pool. Explore a tropical jungle and marvel at the majestic "Pali cliffs" towering above you. Let the peaceful solitude of this magical place envelope you while colorful tropical blossoms of heliconias, ginger, cinnamon and papaya fill the air with pleasant fragrance. Additional highlights of this tour include the scenic waterfalls of Nuuanu Valley, Queen Emma's Summer Palace and the Pali Lookout. Excellent photographic opportunities! This is a moderate hike, suitable for those in good physical condition. Because the area receives high rainfall occasionally and slippery trail conditions might occur, only children who are able to walk the required distance on their own are permitted on this trail. To ensure safety, baby carriers are not recommended for this trail.
Be brought back 100 years and 27 miles from Waikiki to an exclusive beach front property on the shores of West Oahu to experience a luau greeting followed by a wonderful dinner (included) on a shared late afternoon tour. The fun begins the moment you are picked up by friendly hosts from one of many convenient locations in Waikiki. Thirty “Hawaiian” minutes seem to pass quickly as you are entertained with songs, laughter, and lots of “Aloha Spirit” while riding in a comfortable, air-conditioned motor coach. Upon arrival at the beach front property in question, a great buffet dinner featuring an array of tasty Hawaiian and American selections is presented to you for your pleasure and is sure to please. After dinner, the night is filled with beauty, color, and excitement as the multi-talented kane (men) and wahine (women) take you on a non-stop, musical journey throughout the islands of Polynesia. (Three cocktails are included with unlimited soft drinks). At the end of the evening, you will be brought back to a central point in Waikiki.
