Hawaii New Years Singles Vacation Daily Itinerary

Thursday:  Ariive in Honolulu

Arrive at Honolulu airport and take the provided shuttle to the Outrigger Reef on the Beach hotel.
Tonight meet and greet your hostess and fellow vacationers over an optional dinner.

Friday: Grand Circle Island TourGrand Circle Island Tour

The Grand Circle Island Tour is Oahu's most popular narrated tour, and a great way to get oriented to the island if it's your first visit—or learn new things even if you've been to Oahu before. We will cover 120 miles of Oahu, from end to end, in this day-long trip.

Starting in Waikiki , we will travel aboard an air-conditioned bus through the upscale neighborhoods of East Oahu, through Hawaii Kai, and along the rugged southeast coastline past the Halona Blowhole and Sandy Beach. See the cliffs of Makapuu with their stunning view of Rabbit Island, continue through the Hawaiian Homestead lands of Waimanalo, and then into laidback Kailua town. Travel up the tree-lined Pali highway for a stop at the 1,186-foot Pali Lookout, the site of King Kamehameha's last battle and unsurpassed views of the windward coast.

From there, continue on to the North Shore, passing through rural towns like Haleiwa and Waimea Bay, where the winter surf can create legendary 30-foot waves. We will get to see other famous surfing spots like Sunset Beach, Ehukai, and the Banzai Pipeline. The tour continues past the quaint towns of Kahuku and Laie, home of the Mormon Temple and the Polynesian Cultural Center. Last but not least, we will continue through Punaluu all the way to Kaneohe town before heading back to Waikiki after a full day's sightseeing.

Our day-long tour also includes a stop for lunch (cost not included) at the Coral Kingdom restaurant and gift shop on the windward side of the island, plus a stop at the Dole Plantation in central Oahu

Enjoy your Welcome Dinner at a casual Waikiki hangout

Saturday: Hanauma Bay SnorkelingHanaumba Bay Turtle

Hanauma Bay is a protected marine life conservation area and one of the world's best places for novice snorkelers. "The water is very clear once you get away from the beach. … You can feel the waves but it is a very easy swim." Within the bay's calm waters, you can swim through a coral reef with more than 450 species of vibrant tropical fish, a quarter of which are native to Hawaii.

Our half-day excursion includes round-trip transportation from Waikiki (about 25 minutes each way) and all the equipment we will need. You'll get a silicone-tempered mask, "J"-type snorkels, and endurance vinyl acetate fins, plus a defogger for your masks—all of it sanitized after each use. Additional snorkeling accessories (like underwater cameras) are available onsite for an additional cost, and you can bring your own gear if you prefer.

En route to Hanamua Bay, a DVD presentation of Hawaiian marine life will get you inspired with a glimpse of the fish and sea creatures you might encounter. Once we arrive, our driver will give us an overview of how to use our gear. There is also a 10-minute mandatory orientation video that runs on the half-hour.

The walk to the beach is a bit steep, so keep that in mind when deciding what to bring with you. Lockers are available on the beach, and there is food at the top of the hill.

Sunday: Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour

Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour The Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour is one of Oahu's most popular sightseeing experiences and gives you a special look at Honolulu's history.

We will travel first to historic Pearl Harbor, where we will have time to tour the renovated Pearl Harbor Memorial Museum and Visitor Center, the hub for all four Pearl Harbor historic sites: WWII Valor in the Pacific National Monument (USS Arizona Memorial), USS Bowfin Submarine Museum, USS Missouri Memorial, and the Pacific Aviation Museum.

After our visit, we are off on a fully narrated tour of Honolulu city highlights. We will pass Punchbowl Crater, part of an extinct volcano and now home to the National Cemetery of the Pacfic. Downtown see the state capitol and Washington Place, former home of Hawaiian royalty and Hawaii's governors.

A stop at the King Kamehameha statue allows time to take photos. View Iolani Palace, the only royal palace on American soil (and an attraction that you can visit later using your Go Oahu Card), and Kawaiahao Church, where services are still held in the native Hawaiian language. Our tour winds up with a drive through Chinatown before returning to Waikiki in the early afternoon.
  
Monday: Manoa Waterfall Hike - New Years Eve

Manoa FalsManoa Valley is home to verdant rainforest and waterfalls that feel untouched by man. Pass through a bamboo forest and mountain apple and guava trees on our way to the 150-foot Manoa Waterfall. (Be warned that like any waterfall, it won't be as large during dry spells.) We will have plenty  photo opportunities of tropical birds, mountain pools, and island flowers.

Once at the trailhead, we get bottled water, snacks, and binoculars. The hike is about 30 minutes to the waterfall and rated for beginning hikers.

Wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting muddy, pack bug spray, and be ready for humidity or even sudden downpours no matter what the weather was like at the hotel—this is a rainforest after all. 

Afternoon free to relax and get ready for our New Year's Eve dinner at a local restaurant and midnight fireworks on the beach of Waikiki.

Tuesday: Kualoa Park 

Kualoa ParkEnjoy some of Hawaii’s top tours and activities at Kualoa Ranch.  Our day will include either horseback riding or ATVs and your choice of either the Movie Sites & Ranch, Ancient Fishing Grounds & Tropical Gardens Tour or the Jungle Expedition. If time permits we will board a private catamaran and tour the waters around Kualoa Ranch.

Movie Sites & Ranch Tour -
Look for the Jurassic Park site, find Godzilla’s footprints, see the Windtalkers battleground and visit countless other locations including sites from 50 First Dates and Lost. You might even see shooting in progress, perhaps for the new TV series Hawaii 5-0!

Jungle TourJungle Tour - This back-country adventure takes you on board a 6-wheel drive Swiss Pinzgauer that rumbles along jungle trails, maneuvers through isolated stream beds and powers up steep hills. Experience secluded spots that overlook the dramatic windward coastline and an ancient Hawaiian fishpond.

Ancient Hawaiian Fishpond & Gardens - Take a tranquil ride across one of Hawaiʻi’s most well-preserved fishponds, then tour a tropical garden. L
earn how ancient Hawaiians developed aquaculture practices and how Captain Cook’s “discovery” brought economic and cultural influences to Hawaii.

Wednesday: Hawaiian Luau

Morning whale watching cruise. The winter months mark the start of the whale watch season in Hawaii, when 3,000-5,000 majestic North Pacific humpback whales leave their summer home in icy Alaskan waters and migrate 3,000 miles to warm Hawaiian waters

Germanines Luau

Kick off your shoes and Go Native! Discover the way a luau was meant to be and still is at Germaine's Too Good To Miss Luau.

Begin your final evening with a traditional welcome, an Hawaiian Shell Lei. The sounding of the conch shell announces the beginning of the evening’s Luau festivities! As the imu (underground oven) is uncovered, the savory aroma of the Kalua Pua’a (roasted pig) reminds us that dinner is soon to be served. 

Thursday: Depart Hawaii
