10 Day Three Islander 2017

DAY 1 - Oahu - Aloha! Lei Greeting at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Today we fly to Honolulu on the island of Oahu, one of the single most dreamed of vacation spots in the world. You’ll be met with a cool, aromatic flower-lei greeting right at the airport. Arriving in the hotel, you'll again be welcomed by Perillo reps who will help you settle into your room in this American paradise. ALOHA!     DAY 2 - Oahu - Breakfast / Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial and Honolulu Sightseeing / A La Carte Dinner at Japengo The brilliant Hawaiian sunrise beckons you to a great breakfast… Next, a short familiarization talk on your Hawaiian adventure. After breakfast we set off for Pearl Harbor to commemorate the “day that will live in infamy,” December 7, 1941. Few Americans who set foot on the Arizona Memorial can avoid a few goose bumps… We continue on to the Historic Punchbowl National Cemetery followed by a panoramic sightseeing tour of downtown Honolulu. Tonight, enjoy your own private a la carte dinner at Japengo Restaurant with wine, beer or soft drink included. Japengo's menu is elegant Hawaii and Continental cuisine including freshly caught seafood from the islands! B, D   DAY 3 - Oahu - Breakfast / Polynesian Cultural Center Including Buffet Dinner and Show Early this afternoon we’re off on a scenic, narrated tour along the Windward Coast to the “Polynesian Cultural Center.” Our full day tour includes authentic South Pacific villages, demonstrations, Polynesian crafts, an amazing all-you-can-eat buffet feast and spectacular Polynesian dance revue including over 100 cast members. (Alcoholic beverages not served)   DAY 4 - Oahu/Maui Flight - Flight to Maui / Tour the Iao Valley & Lahaina Town / À la Carte Dinner at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort After breakfast we jet to Maui, the “Valley Island.” In 1778, Captain James Cook arrived in “Mowee” ending the idyllic life of the Polynesian natives. In Cook’s wake came traders, missionaries and whalers. At the height of the whaling era (1840 to 1865), Lahaina Town served as the anchorage for more than 500 ships! We’ll visit the Iao Valley to view the famous Iao Needle and drive through Lahaina town on our way to our hotel. You’ll gasp upon entering the vast, open-air lobby of the AAA Diamond Award-winning Hyatt Maui. We’ll check-in, get our bearings, and enjoy a great à la carte dinner with wine or soft drinks at the exquisite Son’z Maui restaurant or Umalu Restaurant, poolside. Of course, gratuities included. DAY 5 - Maui - Full Day of Leisure A free day of leisure to spend at Hyatt’s Ka’anapali Beach hotel. Indulge in all it has to offer to create your own perfect day. After a casual relaxing breakfast, meander through the open-air atrium with palm trees, orchids and amazing Asian art. Visit the hotel’s peaceful koi ponds…sit by its sparkling waterfalls. Enjoy the very lush tropical grounds. Of course, let’s not forget the half-acre swimming pool and world famous Ka’anapali Beach. If you have more adventurous ideas, your tour guide can help.   DAY 6 - Maui - Mount Haleakala Tour / Hawaiian Luau & Show After breakfast, we’re in for a fascinating day of exploration. Its focal point, the 10,023 foot summit of giant Mount Haleakala. The now sleeping volcano that gave birth to the island, Haleakala – the “House of the Sun” – is a mile deep. And her crater alone stretches seven miles across. She’s majestic and truly awesome! Tonight…the “Drums of the Pacific” Luau! It’s the hottest show on the island. Our luau takes you on a journey through the islands of Polynesia. Witness the authentic dances and music of Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand, Tahiti and Hawaii. Enjoy an open bar and an all-you-can-eat traditional luau featuring a superb combination of Hawaiian specialties, complete with an Imu ceremony.   DAY 7 - Maui/Kauai Flight - Fly to Lihue, Kauai / Free Afternoon / Dinner at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Kauai, the “Garden Island,” is a tranquil haven - away from the hustle and bustle - turquoise blue skies, lush green vegetation and sparkling oceans of imperial jade. After our jet ride to Kauai, we transfer to our new home for the next three nights… the super deluxe Grand Hyatt Kauai. It is not just brochure language to say this is one of the finest resorts in the world! Condé Nast has voted it among the top four in Hawaii. The rest of the afternoon is all yours. Step into a world of timeless elegance and luxury. Take in the refreshing ocean breezes from the beautiful white-sand beaches. Spend the next three days filled with sunshine, swimming in sparkling pools or just exploring the hotel’s lush manicured grounds. This evening you’ll love dining at Dondero’s, named Kauai’s best Italian restaurant, or Tidepools, where contemporary island cuisine is served. Great wine or soft drinks included. Gratuities as well.   DAY 8 - Kauai - Full Day at Leisure / Optional Helicopter Tour A free day! All yours. If it’s rest you want, “hang loose.” You’ll need no help. But if it’s excitement you want, take advantage of a very special sightseeing tour aboard a sixpassenger jet-powered helicopter at very special discounted rates. Your tour director will be happy to advise you of other activities available on this spectacularly beautiful island. Dinner is on your own, and you’ll have lots of choices at the Grand Hyatt.   DAY 9 - Kauai - Sightseeing Tour of Waimea Canyon / Kauai Coffee’s Koloa Estate / À la Carte Dinner Tonight This morning we’ll visit Waimea Canyon, also known as “The Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” Its vast views and imposing stature share similarities with its mainland cousin, but this canyon has a personality all its own. A day of unsurpassed beauty! Afterwards, we enjoy a quick visit to Kauai Coffee’s Koloa Estate. The largest coffee farm in the U.S., Kauai’s 3,100 acre coffee plantation is home to four million coffee trees. Another spectacular dinner with wine at the AAA Four Diamond Award-winning Dondero’s Italian Restaurant, or Zagat’s 2009 Best Restaurant on Kauai winner, Tidepools. And gratuities included! Bon appétit.   DAY 10 - Kauai - Fly Home Our tour ends this morning after breakfast. Perillo Tours thanks you for your trust. We love what we do and we try very hard to go the extra mile.
