			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>One-Day Hawaii &#8220;Grand Circle Island&#8221; Tour </strong>(Retail &#8211; $309.00 / Our Price &#8211; <strong>CALL</strong>)<br />
This is the perfect all-day tour if you’re on Oahu and you want to visit a neighbor island that is entirely different from where you’re staying. The Big Island is like a planet unto itself, with its lava landscapes bursting with colorful flowers. On this circle island tour you will get to know this island well in a short amount of time. You’ll visit Volcanoes National Park near the earth’s largest volcano, Mauna Loa, where you’ll fill your brain with, and feast your eyes on, anything and everything volcano. You’ll learn about Kilauea, the world’s most active volcano, Hawaiian culture, and how the Hawaiian Islands were formed. A break at historic Volcano House for lunch will allow you to get up-close and personal with steam rising up through lava vents. There are also stops at Kilauea Iki Crater, a renowned Big Island lava tube, and waterfalls. Stunning views pop up throughout your drive, including a very dramatic one at Kealakekua Bay Overlook, where many historians believe Captain Cook died. You’ll also visit beaches made of black sand, kona coffee plantations, famous ranch lands, and sugar fields. Kailua-Kona, formerly a tiny fishing village, is also on the tour. This charming town is a combination of restaurants, shops and historical sites with beautiful views of the ocean. You’ll be amazed at the variety of Big Island sights and attractions you’ll see. And by the end of the tour, you’ll have a real understanding of this diverse, powerful, and very spiritual island.</p>

</strong>One Day Tours are the ideal way to explore more of Hawaii, beyond Waikiki. The Evening Volcano Special is a true adventure. This tour gives you a rich cultural experience and an exciting view of nature at work. A picturesque ride gives way to the vistas of dormant volcanoes, lava beds, steam vents and craters. Hear legends of Pele, ancient Hawaiian goddess of the volcano, who settled in the crater of Halemaumau at the summit of Kilauea. And, visit the many wonders of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.</p>
<p>Later, walk out over rough terrain and experience the power of mother nature first hand. While mother nature is unpredictable, you might witness the glow of firery lava during the evening viewing at active lava fields.</p>
<p><strong>One-Day Maui &#8220;Hana Adventure&#8221; Tour <span style="font-weight: normal;">(Retail &#8211; $309.00 / Our Price &#8211; <strong>CALL</strong></span>)<br />
</strong>No doubt you’ve heard about the famous “Road to Hana” leading to the land where Puff the Magic Dragon frolicked. This one-day tour shows you this enchanting side of Maui, taking you along the gorgeous, winding coastal road while your guide adds more color to the scenery with interesting stories and lively narration. You’ll visit the famed Hana Bay itself, along with Maui’s famous windsurfing beach, Hookipa. There’s also a stop at 122-acre Wainapanapa State Park, home to a beautiful black-sand beach and Hawaiian sea turtles. At 2,000 feet above sea level, you’ll also get to cleanse your palate with sweeping views of the Central Valley and West Maui Mountains. Keanae Lookout will also take your breath away, with exquisite views of the peninsula and taro fields. And it wouldn’t be a complete Maui tour without seeing historical landmarks, waterfalls, and a quaint little town, now would it? This tour is indeed an adventure &#8212; one you remember from your imagination as a child, and have the chance to relive as an adult.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-704" title="Iao" src="http://www.hawaiiactivitystores.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/Iao-200x300.jpg" alt="Iao" width="140" height="210" />One-Day Maui &#8220;Valley Isle&#8221; Tour <span style="font-weight: normal;">(Retail &#8211; $309.00 / Our Price &#8211; <strong>CALL</strong></span>)<br />
</strong>For those interested in Maui’s lush jungles and impressive volcano, this is the one-day tour for you. You’ll witness Maui’s Mt. Haleakala, “House of The Rising Sun,” and hear the Hawaiian legend behind the massive volcanic crater. You’ll see stunning views of Maui, the Pacific Ocean, and West Maui Mountains along the way, and come to understand why this spot is regarded as one of the planet’s most powerful energy points. You’ll venture into Iao Valley until you reach a peaceful rainforest. This is where the bright green Iao Needle springs from the earth in all of its green glory. Tropical waterfalls and swimming holes are sprinkled throughout this tropical paradise. You’ll see rare plants and flowers at home in this dry climate, such as beautiful proteas, indigenous to South Africa. But the tour is more than mountains and valleys. You’ll also visit Wailuku Town, now a shopping oasis along a historic street, and popular Lahaina Town, an old whaling seaport lined with restaurants, shops and galleries. When it comes to Maui sightseeing, this trip is more than an eyeful.</p>
<p><strong>One-Day Kauai &#8220;Garden Isle Island&#8221; Tour <span style="font-weight: normal;">(Retail &#8211; $309.00 / Our Price &#8211; <strong>CALL</strong></span>)<br />
</strong>Believe it or not, it’s possible to behold Kauai’s most famous sights in just one day. This tour captures all the highlights including a visit to awesome Waimea Canyon, Hawaii’s &#8220;Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” Eucalyptus trees, yellow ginger, and mokihana berries rise up the 3,500 feet well-pleated cliffs. As if in a dream, a boat ride up the Wailua River will take you to the enchanting Fern Grotto, said to be the most romantic place in Hawaii. As you cruise down the river, a fern-lined lava cave comes into view. You can almost imagine a couple exchanging vows there, as Hawaiian paddlers sing their sweet song…and they do. Lush valleys, dense rainforests and hidden streams fill your day, while a 40-foot waterfall makes its cameo with Makaleha Mountains and a restored Hawaiian village as the backdrop. Watch as sea water shoots through the air with each incoming wave at the popular “Spouting Horn” blowhole. Spy on whales and dolphins along the coastline. Spectacular lookouts, sacred sites and historical landmarks are also part of the tour, including a Russian fort with an interesting tale, so be sure to bring your camera. Let the beauty and splendor of Kauai envelop you, take in the fascinating narration along way, and it’s sure to be an incredible day on Hawaii’s “Island of Discovery.”</p>
