AlohaHawaii! Breathtaking beauty, blue waters, white sand beaches: This is Hawaii!
Aloha Friends! My mother and I are thrilled to be your special hosts on this wonderful tour of our native Hawaii. We have lived in Nebraska for many years, but we maintain our pride and dedication to our family roots and the beautiful traditions of Hawaii. We look forward to being your ambassadors as we tour the islands. We will provide local insights including Hawaii culture and language; food and drink; shopping tips; best beaches; history and the Hawaiian lifestyle. Most importantly, we will be your personal “hula” instructors! We love showing people the true meaning of Hawaii. This nine day tour includes a seven day cruise on the “Pride of America”, the newest ship cruising the Hawaiian Islands. We will visit four islands and five different beaches. Overnights are in Oahu, Maui and Kauai where you will have time to hike up a waterfall, gaze at an active volcano, discover black, green and white sand beaches and celebrate with locals at a luau under the stars! Please join us on this exceptional tour of our beloved native homeland, Hawaii. Mahalo Mailani and AniAni Hawaii tour hosts: Mailani (on right) and her mother, AniAni (on left) with sister, Moani.

Or join the Maui Downhill Bicycle Adventure! Bike the easy way downhill - and stop for photos of scenic mountains, exotic flowers and much more.

Tuesday, March 28th, 2017 At 8am we arrive to Hilo on the Big Island, a lush, green, breathtaking photographic side of Hawaii. Blooming wild ginger, waterfalls plunging through hillside jungles, and rainbows cascading over lush vegetation. Hilo is blessed with more rain than any other city in the U.S., and the gulches and slopes in the Hilo area have more shades of green than there are names for! A highly competitive canoe meet is a “must” experience. If you are lucky enough to encounter Hilo’s rain, grab an umbrella and go for a walk. The rain is blissfully warm, and brightly-colored umbrellas pop up everywhere. Welcome to Hilo! Enjoy! B | L | D aboard the cruise ship included.
