The adventure

Dig past sand and dive below the surf for some truly unique sights on this upgraded, weeklong adventure in Hawaii. Roam around Kauai and Big Island to see sides of both islands you might miss without your locally based CEO leading the way, including a guided tour of Waimea Canyon and numerous opportunities to relax in paradise. Your senses will say, "Mahalo."

◆Arrive at any time.
◆Depart early for a day trip to Waimea Canyon, one of the most iconic areas of Kauai – the rugged valley and colossal cliffs are a sight to behold. On a clear day, look down into Kalalau Valley and the Na Pali Coast to see one of the most remote places on the island.
◆Fly from Kauai to the Big Island. Stop by 'Akaka Falls to stretch your legs, before continuing to our accommodation for the night.
◆Enjoy a full free day. If you're feeling adventurous opt to go diving, snorkelling, or ziplining. In evening opt for dinner with the group in Hilo.
◆Head to Kona today. En route, visit Volcanoes National Park to witness lava flows and martian-like landscapes.
◆Today is a day at leisure in Kona, and for good reason — Kona is the adventure capital of the Big Island, so there's something to suit everyone here. Opt to go diving, snorkelling, horseback riding, ziplining, or head out to visit a seahorse farm. Tonight, join the group for a final farewell to Hawaii.
◆Depart at any time.
