Maui

O'o Farm Coffee tour & brunch: Visit the O'o Farm for a beautiful upcountry farm offering a seed-to-cup tour through their orchard. Experience the sights, sounds and smells of their coffee roasting operation, and then stay for brunch.

Explore Maui's iconic Molokini crater: Take a trip to the iconic Molokini crater, a protected marine conservation area. This crescent-shaped volcanic crater is only accessible by boat, and you'll get the opportunity to snorkel and find sea turtles! Most tours include breakfast, snacks and lunch.

Drive the Road to Hana: Take a drive on the famous winding road to Hana. Along the way, you can stop at waterfalls, black sand beaches, iconic surf spots and picture-perfect roadside fruit and banana bread stands.

Kauai

Princeville Ranch: Take a break from the beach and enjoy horseback riding lessons at Princeville Ranch. It is one of the oldest and most beautiful cattle ranches in the state of Hawaii.

Napali Coast: Charter a boat or join a tour to explore Kauai's extraordinary Napali Coast. Most tours will take you across the channel to snorkel at the incredible Lehua Crater.

Queen's Bath: Explore Queen's Bath, Kauai's seasonal tide pool, which was once reserved for royals. It is located at the end of a short but stunning hike.
