Take in panoramic views of Oahu from the summit of Diamond Head, the ancient volcanic cone that rises from the end of Waikiki Beach.

Days 6 to 8
Kauai
Transfer to Honolulu for your flight to Kauai where you’ll be met and transferred to Ko’a Kea Hotel & Resort for a three-night stay. It’s not for nothing that Kauai is known as the ‘Garden Isle’ of Hawaii. The fertile island – the backdrop to everything from South Pacific to the Jurassic Park series – is mostly covered in tropical rainforest and as such is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. Highlights include Waimea Canyon, dubbed the ‘Grand Canyon of the Pacific’, and the Na Pali Coast, 22 miles of vibrant green valleys, thundering waterfalls and concertinaed cliffs 4,000 feet high. The coast can be explored by kayak or paddleboard, but by far the best way to take in the whole island is on a helicopter tour – something our experts will be happy to book for you.

Hawaii
A private transfer will take you to the airport for your flight via Oahu to Hawaii Island (aka Big Island), where you’ll be met and transferred to Fairmont Orchid for a three-night stay, a coastal resort with a protected lagoon, huge pool and excellent amenities. It’s the perfect base from which to explore the island. Follow Crater Rim Drive through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to Kilauea Volcano, which has been spewing lava almost continuously since 1983. Hike to the spectacular Akaka Falls or along the Kona Coast to the Captain Cook Monument, which marks the site where the British explorer who discovered the Hawaiian islands was killed in 1779. Or pleasure your sweet tooth at Original Hawaiian Chocolate, the world’s only producers of 100% Hawaiian chocolate.
