Begin the day with a delightful breakfast, then set off to explore Honolulu on a panoramic city tour. Immerse yourself in the sweeping views of this Polynesian haven, touring landmarks like Chinatown and the Hawaii State Capitol. At Kaimuki Dry Goods, replenish your quilting supplies and find inspiration in the vibrant, tropical-themed cottons. Later, wander through the Iolani Palace and marvel at the majestic statue of Kamehameha the Great. Spend the evening as you wish, perhaps swimming or relaxing by the beach, basking in the glow of a Hawaiian sunset.
Enjoy a day at leisure to bask in the tranquil ambiance of our resort or discover the cultural gems of Oahu. You might consider visiting the exhibits at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, walking in the footsteps of history, and enriching your understanding of Hawaii’s past. As the day winds down, indulge in a traditional Hawaiian massage or savor an al fresco dinner with the ocean as your backdrop.
After breakfast, enjoy a visit to the famous Dole Pineapple Plantation, uncovering the origins of James Drummond Dole’s pineapple empire. Later, delve into island traditions at the Polynesian Cultural Center, learning about local arts, crafts, and history. Relish an island-style dinner and witness a spectacular Polynesian show.
Spend the morning exploring Honolulu at your own pace. Perhaps visit a local market, sampling exotic fruits and chatting with the friendly locals. In the afternoon, we’ll whisk you off to Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii, where you’ll have ample time to luxuriate in the amenities of our beachside resort. Take a leisurely stroll along the beach as the sun sets, feeling the refreshing sea breeze in your hair and the soft sand under your feet as you unwind and admire Kona’s sparkling coastline.
Your day begins with a fascinating cultural walk, shedding light on the history of the ancient Hawaiians. Afterward, participate in a Forever Lei-making class, diving deeper into Hawaiian traditions. Spend your afternoon admiring hand-quilted items at the Hawaiian Quilt Collection shop in Waikoloa Village. Later, uncover the art of Lauhala weaving, crafting hala leaves into stunning Hawaiian pieces in a hands-on workshop.
Begin your day at Quilt Passions and Needlework Shop, where you’ll find a colorful collection of tropical-patterned quilting cottons and rich batik prints. Then, enjoy a visit to a charming vanilla farm, where you’ll learn about this fragrant island crop. Later, we make our way to Hilo and settle into our hotel—your home for the next two nights.
Kickstart your day in Hilo with a hearty breakfast. Then, venture to Kilauea Kreations II, where an assortment of premium Hawaiian-themed quilting cottons and supplies awaits you. Enjoy a group lunch at the local favorite, Lava Rock Café, before setting off to the Volcano National Park. Marvel at the steam vents of Crater Rim Drive and the breathtaking views of Halema’uma’u Crater. Return to our resort for some relaxation before our customary farewell dinner celebration.
Greet the dawn in Hawaii one last time, exchange contacts with your new quilting companions, and prepare for your journey home. Head to the airport at your leisure, carrying a piece of Hawaii in your heart and a suitcase full of memories. As you bid farewell to these islands, remember, the spirit of Aloha stays with you, wherever you go.
