Nawiliwili Kauai, Kahului (Hawai),

Nawiliwili port lies outside of Lihue, the main town of Kauai, the fourth largest island in north western Hawaii, known as the Garden Island. The closest shopping to the dock is at Kalapaki beach, within easy walking distance from the cruiseers. Roughly circular, the island of Kauai is a creased emerald wonderland. On the north coast, the flying buttresses of the Na Pali cliffs drop 4,000 feet to blue surf. In the interior, view the magnificent Mount Waialeale with its endless waterfalls and Waimea Canyon. If you wish to enjoy a swim, you will find countless beaches, with most notable Hanalei, with blond sand, green cliffs and azure waters.

Today we reach the Hawaiian island of Maui and its beautiful town of Kahului, from which we have the chance to visit majestic natural wonders, past fields of swaying sugar cane. You can take a tour to Iao Valley State Monument, a scenic viewpoint of Kuka‘emoku ('Iao Needle), an erosional feature which abruptly rises 1200 feet from the valley and is dedicated to the god of the ocean, or drive the scenic road that winds its way up Haleakala Crater, known as the House of the Sun, to enjoy spellbinding views.
