DAY ONE: NAIROBI, KENYA FLY TO HONOLULU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Depart Nairobi (JKIA) to Honolulu International Airport .you will then be transferred to The Modern Honolulu Hotel. You’ll then check-in and relax after a spending journey. You will thereafter freshen up as we prepare to visit Oahu, make your own lei while learning about its cultural significance to the people of Hawaii. After that, make your way to the Polynesian Cultural Center.
It’s a bit expensive, but I highly recommend the tour that includes the luau and night show. The Center consists of six different “villages,” each having various shows and activities to help visitors learn about their respective cultures. At the luau, you get to eat some scrumptious, traditional Hawaiian food, and at the evening show, you get to see all of the villages come together to showcase their talents and traditions.

DAY TWO: OAHU
Wake up and have an early morning breakfast. Depart to Diamond Head at 0700 hours to make sure to get there early in the morning, as the parking lot will most likely fill up after 8 AM. It offers breathtaking views of the bright blue ocean and the bustling city of Honolulu. The hike to the top of Diamond Head is only 0.8 miles, but is quite steep and involves many steps.
Hawaii was originally a monarchy under King Kamehameha, who was known for uniting all the Hawaiian Islands into one nation and ending the conflict that had existed among them. Across the street from the statue is Iolani Palace, the royal residence of the monarch family. You will then afterwards relax and enjoy the sand at the wikiwiki beach.

DAY FOUR: THE BIG ISLAND
The Big Island is the largest of island. After a lavish breakfast, you will drive to the island. Once you board the submarine, take a seat in front of one of the many porthole windows, then sit back and relax as the submarine cruises along the bottom of the ocean. It reaches depths of about 110 feet and gives views of the various sea life that call Hawaii their home and you can even see some of the shipwrecks found in the area. After the tour, head over to Punalu’u Beach, also known as Black Sand Beach.
The black color comes from lava fragments of the nearby volcano and really stands out next to the beautiful blue of the ocean. You will check ahead of time to see whether or not swimming is permitted, as the currents can sometimes be quite strong.

DAY FIVE: THE BIG ISLAND
Wake up and have an early morning breakfast then depart to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The Crater Rim Drive Tour and Chain of Craters Road are the two sectors in the park. Attractions along the driving tours include Jagger Museum (which overlooks the ongoing eruption within Halema’uma’u crater), walking through lava tubes (a cave formed from rushing lava), and more. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can make the long trek to see surface lava. It’s about a 10-mile hike round trip, and half of it is over boulder-sized lava rock, so it’s definitely not for the faint of heart.
