We had another lazy day by the pool today, we did so much yesterday that I could barely move! For this reason I got a Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage at the spa which was really painful because of my aching muscles but like magic all pain was gone afterwards 🙂 This evening we did a… Continue reading Cheesecake Factory
Hanauma Bay and Lanikai Beach
This morning we got up early and picked up our beast of a rental car; a Chevrolet Tahoe. We then picked up Laurence, Corey and Kristy (friends we met on the cruise) and took a drive to Hanauma Bay on the south east of the island. The bay is a Nature Preserve and a Marine… Continue reading Hanauma Bay and Lanikai Beach
Two Days Off
After a very hectic schedule on the cruise ship, we decided it was about time we had a few days off! So yesterday we checked into our new hotel on Waikiki Beach and did very little; we went swimming, ate and slept, and that’s about it, we didn’t even take any photo’s! Today we went… Continue reading Two Days Off
Mud Buggies and Waterfall Trip
This morning we got up early to meet our buggy guide Eric on the shore at 6.30am. There were only 6 of us on the trip so we got chatting to the others on the bus quite quickly. We arrived at the buggy station and got changed into cargo trousers, t-shirts, helmets, googles and me… Continue reading Mud Buggies and Waterfall Trip
Kalamaku Luau
This evening we went to the Kalamaku Luau just up the road from Nawiliwili bay where we are docked. A luau is a big feast and party where they celebrate just about anything, it was a great night and about 800 people attended. They served traditional Hawaiian food such as lomi salmon, kalua pork, rice… Continue reading Kalamaku Luau
Zip and Splash Adventure

Part of Kauai is actually the wettest place in the world (receiving over 460 inches a year of rain) but it really is a paradise island. We went off for another shore excursion and today it was… Continue reading Zip and Splash Adventure

Rainbow Falls and Volcanoes National Park
We left Maui yesterday and sailed overnight to Hilo on the big island of Hawaii. We booked another shore excursion for today as one of the volcanoes has been erupting recently and Paul really wanted to see some lava! We boarded the coach at 9am, again the driver was really funny; he liked to tell… Continue reading Rainbow Falls and Volcanoes National Park
Molikini Crater Snorkling
We docked overnight in Kahului Harbour, Maui so the sleep was nice and calm! We booked a shore excursion for today so got up early to meet the coach at 8.20am. The excursion was to Molikini Crater; a tiny crescent shaped island 3 miles off the south coast of Maui. We took a short coach… Continue reading Molikini Crater Snorkling
Good Night Oahu, Good Morning Maui
We woke up about 7am this morning not realising the time as our room has no natural daylight! The ship sailed overnight from Honolulu to Maui so we got up, had some breakfast and went out into the beautiful sunshine 🙂 We didn’t book an excursion today so found a taxi and asked the driver… Continue reading Good Night Oahu, Good Morning Maui
