Ports of call

Kahului, Maui

5 out of 5
There is a beautiful public beach in Maui right behind the Fairmont Hotel. The attendants are super and you can rent lounge chairs, towels and umbrella for only $10. We ate at their restaurant and got drinks form there too. On the second day we did a Swim with the turtles snorkeling cameraman tour. It was nice, but only saw one turtle that was sleeping about 10 feet below. Excursion was nice, but very crowed.

Hilo, Hawaii

5 out of 5
Booked a Volcano tour through Norwegian. Our tour guide Traven and bus drive Patience were wonderful. Traven was super knowledgeable about the history, volcanic activity, etc. Very informative. I would highly recommend this tour.

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

1 out of 5
We could have skipped Kona or spent two days in Hilo. We were really only there a half day and had to take skiff boats to shore. Lines were very long and took hours. We opted out and stayed on the ship this day.

Nawiliwili, Kauai

5 out of 5
Kauai is everyone's favorite! We rented a car under $40 and drove to Waimea Canyon on our own. Stopped at Grandma's Restaurant along the way. Best Sushi rolls on the whole trip! Came down the back side of the mountain and found a huge beautiful beach all to ourselves. I wish we could of had more time in Kauai.

Cruise Napali Coast, Kauai

Interesting, but to me a waste of time. Would of rather spent more time on the island.
