Day 1 - Saturday, October 26, 2024
Honolulu, Oahu
 With a cosmopolitan population of 950,000, Honolulu is Hawaii’s largest city. It also is the hub of cultural, educational, political, dining, shopping, business and entertainment activities in the Aloha State.
After Captain James Cook put the Hawaiian Islands on the map of the world in 1778, Honolulu became an increasingly important stop for ships traveling between America and Asia. There is so much to see and do in Honolulu, our embarkation port for our cruise. Come Early and Stay Late!
Day 2 - Sunday, October 27, 2024
Kahului, Maui
 The island of Maui has special magical views, water wonders, and seaside streets that boasts some of the greatest tropical sights in the world. The island of Maui is full of natural beauty and Hawaii cruises make it easy for you to explore it and all its splendor. It has 120 miles of coastline for you to surf, snorkel, walk, ride, windsurf–you get the idea. And they come in all colors: red, white, black. Maui is your ticket to island fun with secret spots, nature’s adventures and undiscovered beauty.
Day 3 - Monday, October 28, 2024
Kahului, Maui
 A surplus of natural splendor and the genuine hospitality of its people have helped to make Maui Hawaii's second most popular island. Explore the fascinating history of the town of Lahaina. Plant yourself on a pristine beach, or play one of the world's most beautiful golf courses.
Day 4 - Tuesday, October 29, 2024
Hilo, Hawaii (Big Island)
 Welcome to the Big Island of Hawaii – a paradise of black-sand beaches, tropical rainforest and volcanic mountains. Mauna Loa, the largest mountain on the planet, soars above the bleak lava fields of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. In the heart of the Big Island’s lush rainforest lies the remote and stunning Wai’po Valley (Valley of the Kings). Hawaii’s history matches its incomparable landscape – it is a saga of mighty Polynesian kings, sugar barons, war and treachery.
The landscape of the Big Island ranges from black-sand beaches to tropical rain forest to the alpine terrain of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. At 13,796 feet above sea level, the summit of Mauna Kea is the highest point in the entire Pacific basin.
Day 5 - Wednesday, October 30, 2024
Kona, Hawaii (Big Island)
 Welcome to the Big Island of Hawaii and to Kona. The Kona Coast is a land of infinite variety, ranging from pristine beaches to rolling uplands that are home to coffee plantations, macadamia groves and the largest privately owned cattle ranch in the United States. To the southeast lies Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, home to Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, and Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world. And offshore lies a fisherman’s paradise. Kona is hailed as “The Billfish Capital of the World,” and the town hosts the annual Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament.
Twice as large as the other major Hawaiian Islands combined, Hawaii’s terrain ranges from tropical beaches to the alpine crags and basalt heights of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. At over 10,000 feet above sea level, Mauna Kea is the highest point in the Pacific Basin. On Hawaii, the temperature is always a result of elevation.
Day 6 - Thursday, October 31, 2024
Nawiliwili, Kauai
 The fourth largest island in the Hawaiian group, Kaua’i is known as the “Garden Island.” The terrain ranges from the volcanic slopes of Mt. Waialeale and the desert-like beauty of Waimea Canyon to the Wailua River’s lush Fern Grotto. Ironically this once isolated island was the site of the first meeting between Europeans and Hawaiians. On January 19, 1778, Captain James Cook anchored his ships off the mouth of the Waimea River, becoming the first in a long line of enthusiastic visitors.
Day 7 - Friday, November 01, 2024
Nawiliwili, Kauai
 Named after the Wiliwili trees, which once lined its picturesque harbor, this lovely port of Kauai is your gateway to what many believe to be Hawaii's most beautiful island. On "The Garden Island," nature is truly the star, from the dramatic mountains of Kokee to the cool rainforests of Haena. And the tradition of the luau adds lively entertainment unique to Hawaii.
Day 8 - Saturday, November 02, 2024
Honolulu, Oahu
 The big, blue Pacific and stunning Koolau mountains serve as a dramatic setting for Hawaii's largest city. Climb to the top of Diamond Head. Take a romantic sunset stroll on Waikiki Beach. Catch a glimpse of history by visiting Pearl Harbor and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
Gorgeous beaches, stunning weather, luxurious resorts, and gay nightlife that makes all the boys go wild – It’s no wonder Gay Honolulu is a hugely popular travel destination for queers wanting to relax in style and escape it all.
