Ports of Call

Honolulu (Oahu) - Honolulu is an experience worth savoring before you sail and after you return. Base yourself in vibrant Waikīkī for sunrise swims and postcard views of Diamond Head, then wander downtown to see ʻIolani Palace, the only royal residence on U.S. soil, and the world-class collections of the Bishop Museum. Honor history at Pearl Harbor’s memorials, browse Kakaʻako’s street-art alleys and indie boutiques, and finish with sunset poke bowls on Ala Moana Beach. Whether you arrive early or linger post-cruise, Honolulu’s fusion of urban energy, surf culture and lush Hawaiian scenery turns a round-trip sailing into the perfect excuse for extra island time.

Kailua-Kona (Island of Hawaii) - Coffee-rich breezes mingle with salty trade winds along Hawaiʻi Island’s Kona coast, where Kailua-Kona anchors a landscape of black lava, royal landmarks and cobalt-blue water. Sip estate-grown Kona coffee where Hualālai’s misty slopes meet macadamia orchards, then wander Aliʻi Drive past Huliheʻe Palace and Mokuaikaua Church, echoes of the Hawaiian Kingdom. South at Kealakekua Bay, a white obelisk marks Captain Cook’s final landfall amid jewel-bright coral, while nearby Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau protects an ancient refuge of peace. Offshore, record marlin challenge anglers during the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament, and night dives reveal manta rays pirouetting under the stars. Bathed in steady sunshine and calm seas, Kailua-Kona pairs rich history and world-class ocean adventure in one irresistible stretch of coast.

Hilo (Island of Hawaii) - Hilo drapes itself along a crescent bay of black-lava rock and orchids, where rain showers turn streets into living arboretums and Mauna Kea’s snow-tipped summit rises unexpectedly above the palms. Stroll Banyan Drive’s century-old giants to Liliʻuokalani Gardens, shop the open-air farmers market for rambutan and fresh-ground Kona coffee, then venture a little farther: Rainbow and ʻAkaka Falls plunge through emerald gulches, while Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park rumbles with steaming vents and rivers of new earth. From lush jungles to lunar lava fields (even winter stargazing atop Mauna Kea) Hilo packs nearly every ecosystem of the Big Island into one rain-washed getaway.

Kahului (Maui) - Kahului, Maui’s bustling harbor, is your gateway to the island’s postcard contrasts. Rust-red volcanic peaks, rainforest waterfalls and sweeping sugar-white beaches. Sunrise atop Haleakalā feels like standing on Mars above the clouds, while a meandering drive along the Road to Hāna reveals bamboo groves, rainbow eucalyptus and hidden black-sand coves. History lives in nearby Lāhainā, a former whaling port turned art town, and world-class fairways unfurl beside breaching humpbacks in winter. Whether you’re tasting farm-to-table poke, paddling an outrigger canoe or sinking your toes into Kaʻanapali’s golden sand, Kahului is an unforgettable stop on a Hawaii cruise.

Nawiliwili (Kauai) - Verdant ridges ring compact Nawiliwili Harbor, gateway to Kaua‘i—the “Garden Isle,” where frequent showers paint every slope in a dozen shades of green. Westward, Waimea Canyon drops in rust-and-jade layers like a tropical Grand Canyon, while catamarans and helicopters trace the sheer, roadless walls of the Nāpali Coast, ribbed with hidden valleys once linked by legendary Menehune trails. Paddle up the Wailua River to fern-draped grottoes, watch sea turtles cruise along Poʻipū’s golden crescents, or linger among wild ginger and hibiscus in Kōkeʻe’s upland forests. Nowhere else in Hawai‘i packs so much waterfall-fed drama into such a compact, rain-lush island.
