What to Do in Hawaii

But why limit yourself to just one island when you can experience the magic of Hawaii through a cruise? Setting sail on a Hawaiian cruise offers the opportunity to witness the stunning landscapes and diverse ecosystems of multiple islands in one seamless journey. From the comfort of your ship, you can enjoy the breathtaking views of Hawaii's volcanic landscapes, lush rainforests and pristine coastlines.

The Culture of Hawaii

Hawaii has a long and rich culture that shouldn’t be ignored when visiting these beautiful islands. And aloha is more than just a word in Hawaii; it's a way of life. Locals welcome visitors with open hearts, creating an atmosphere of genuine hospitality.

More than likely when you arrive on the island, you’ll receive a lei. The giving of leis is a cherished Hawaiian tradition symbolizing affection, respect and welcome. On top of giving and receiving leis, another expression of Hawaii's culture is through hula dancing and playing melodic tunes on the ukulele. Attend a traditional hula performance or take a ukulele lesson to connect with the artistic soul of the islands.

The History of Hawaii

Just like Hawaii’s culture, its history is also vibrant, long and a beautiful blend of different traditions. Hawaii's history dates back to its Polynesian roots. The first settlers arrived by canoe, navigating the vast Pacific Ocean to establish a unique and thriving society. Explore the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu for a deeper understanding of these ancestral connections.

Delve into Hawaii's royal past by visiting the Iolani Palace in Honolulu. Once the residence of Hawaiian monarchs, it stands as a testament to the kingdom's historical significance and the impact of Western influence.

Best Time to Visit

The optimal times to visit Hawaii are during the spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) months, which are characterized by pleasant weather, fewer crowds and more affordable accommodations. While Hawaii remains a year-round destination, the winter months (December to February) see an increase in tourist activity due to the holidays and its famous whale-watching season. For those seeking a quieter experience, planning a trip during the shoulder seasons is advisable, and with the help of our travel agents, you’ll be able to see and experience the islands exactly how you wish.

Additionally, winter marks the prime season for whale-watching, as humpback whales migrate to Hawaii's warm waters. Maui stands out for its exceptional whale-watching opportunities from December to April.

Hawaii's allure lies in its breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culture and storied history. Whether you're chasing waves, embracing the spirit of Aloha, exploring royal palaces or simply relaxing on a pristine beach, the islands invite you to experience their magic. See Hawaii by way of the seas and book your trip through our agents on Norwegian Cruise Line. Norwegian offers beautiful accommodations, delectable dining options and the freedom to cruise your way.
