This bundle includes self-guided driving tours around the Hawaiian islands of O’ahu, Maui, and Kauai. Each island is truly unique and has beauty and charm entirely its own, so why choose just one when you can see them all?
On O’ahu, you’ll begin in the famous city of Honolulu, where you’ll get your first taste of the local culture, revisit the events of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and even see the former royal palace! Looking for some explosive scenery? That’s next at an enormous volcanic crater, followed by incredible views of the island. As you drive, you’ll also hear all about the power struggle between Kamehameha’s and his rival Kalanikūpule, before reaching the ranch where films like Jurassic Park were shot.
Continue to Maui, you’ll get the chance to really dig into Hawaiian history, culture, and legends, including the myth of the demigod who pulled the island out of the ocean with a giant hook! As you pass some gnarly surfing destinations, learn about the intricate traditions that governed ancient Hawaiian society, and how that all changed when newcomers arrived. Then, you will spot the sparkling Waikani Falls, where you can visit the village where pop superstar George Harrison chose to retire!
Kauai has for a long time been one of Hawaii’s hidden gems, and now you get to experience it for yourself! This island is home to a strange blend of pristine wilderness and remnants of a bygone era. One moment you’ll be watching sea turtles bask on a beach or snapping photos of a tunnel made of dense trees, and the next you’ll find yourself in an old, restored sugar mill town, or looking at the remains of a Russian fort. Get a glimpse into Kauai’s equally peculiar history, full of twists and turns you might not expect!
