Hawaii Island Cruise
A Hawaii Island cruise is another fun and exciting way to explore the islands! This fascinating experience allows travelers to enjoy luxury resort accommodations and all the fabulous, fun activities of a theme park while exploring ports on the Big Island, Maui, Oahu and Kauai. Cruise to Hawaii from San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, or Long Beach, CA; Vancouver, British Columbia; or Ensenada, Mexico.
If you aren't flying or sailing your private yacht to the Big Island, a Hawaii Island cruise is a wonderful option. Cruises are more affordable than ever, with sailing options ranging from a week to as many as 50 nights.
Hawaii Cruise Ship Shore Excursions
For cruise ship passengers, there are many things to do in Hilo and things to do in Kona that are within walking distance or a short cab ride from the pier. For more extensive adventures, renting a car can be a good option.
Better yet, book a tour to capture the best sites on the Big Island. Completely private shore excursions from Hilo and Kona offer the best way to see the best sites on the Island. Private tours allow you to experience more of the island than is possible with commercial group charters, with flexibility for additional stops according to your own particular interests.
