Experience the Hawaiian Culture & History

Hawaii’s story lives in its sacred sites, royal legacies, and time-honored traditions. It’s in the solemn stillness of Pearl Harbor and the echo of chants passed down through generations. From ancient fishponds to working pineapple farms, our all-inclusive Hawaii vacations include powerful, place-based experiences that connect you to the people, history, and culture of the islands – without you having to plan a thing.

Here are just a few of the cultural experiences we love to include in our packages:

Pearl Harbor and the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial – Oahu

Included in our all-inclusive Waikiki packages, this powerful tour takes you to the site of the 1941 attack that changed the course of history. You’ll visit the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, and take a solemn journey to the memorial that rests above the sunken U.S.S. Arizona. Even today, droplets of oil rise to the surface–known as black tears–a haunting reminder of the lives lost. Round out this powerful experience with additional sites of historical significance, such as Iolani Palace and the King Kamehameha Statue, as you drive through historic Honolulu.

Pineapple Farm Tour – Maui

Taste Hawaii’s agricultural past and present at a working pineapple farm in upcountry Maui. You’ll walk the fields, see the harvesting process, and sample sweet pineapple straight from the source — an experience as flavorful as it is fun. It’s a delicious way to connect with the land, and the generations of workers who helped make pineapple an icon of Hawaii’s story. Included in our Maui all-inclusive vacation packages. 

Historical Kona & Farm Tour – Big Island

This immersive tour takes you to Pu‘uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, where you’ll see carved wooden ki‘i, an ancient heiau, and the royal grounds of a once-sacred place of refuge. You’ll also visit Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park to walk along historic lava rock trails and explore traditional Hawaiian fishponds, seawalls, and petroglyphs carved into the stone. The tour wraps up with a visit to Big Island Bees for a quick honey tasting and a stop at a Kona coffee farm. Offered on select days in our all-inclusive Big Island package.

The Fern Grotto – Kauai

Float up the tranquil Wailua River to a lush grotto once reserved for Hawaiian royalty. Along the way, live Hawaiian music and storytelling add a special touch to the journey. Included in our all-inclusive Kauai packages, this gentle cruise offers a glimpse into Kauai’s cultural roots in one of its most beautiful natural settings.
