Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on Contiki's 8 Day Hawaii Escape. To celebrate the launch of the dark and delicious I Know What You Did Last Summer on Prime Video, this exclusive 7-night Contiki trip to Hawaii is the perfect opportunity to escape the past and live it up in the present. And where better to escape to than the land of volcanic islands, waterfalls, Luau dinners and unparalleled sunsets? With plenty of activities to lose yourself in, you'll find yourself going from a jeep trip to chase waterfalls on Waikiki, to snorkeling in the crystalline waters of a volcanic crater, to tasting...read more sun-drenched organic fruit on an Oahu farm. Finishing with a farewell pool party (IKWYDLS-style), you'll experience a whole new meaning to 'living in the moment' on this unique and oh-so-sweet escape.

Itinerary

Welcome to Waikiki! Ready to uncover all the secrets of Hawaii? This next week is all about escape and living in the moment in this beautiful island paradise. First you'll meet your Trip Manager and Contiki fam at 4pm for a kick start meeting, followed by dinner at a local restaurant to settle in and get to know the crew, ready for adventures tomorrow. (D) Stay: Aston Waikiki Beach Resort (or similar)

Get ready for a big day of Oahu Exploration. Today we'll hit up some of the most beautiful waterfalls on the island with swimming and lunch all part of the package.  Setting off in our jeeps, we'll enjoy fascinating backstories and insider perspectives from our local guides as we journey from waterfall to waterfall. No tourists here, just travellers. (B)

A day to take it easy or get active. You could kick things off with yoga on the beach and then take a surf or SUP lesson. You could grab some snorkelling gear and paddle around. You could hike to Diamond Head Crater with views out over the Pacific. Or you could just laze around on the beach. That's fine too. The choice is yours, and they all look pretty appealing rn. (B)

Say a temporary farewell to Oahu as we take flight to Maui after breakfast.  Touching down just after lunch, we'll have  plenty of opportunities to eat, chill and settle in to island life Pt2.  Your Trip Manager will have a little in-flight snack bag full of local delicacies for you to nibble on while you fly. Once you've checked in and chilled out, watch the sun go down and then rest up - tomorrow is a day of fun on the water, whether you're doing the turtle trail or not! (B)

Rise and shine, because now you're operating on Maui time and trust us, you don't want to miss a second. Today is yours to roam as you please; maybe beach nap it out on Kaanapali beach, or take a leisurely trip to the spa. However, if you want to add a touch of YOLO to your adventure, we've got just the answer - how about a Free Time Add On cruise to Molokini, an extinct submerged volcano within a marine life and bird conservation area? What does it involve you ask? Snorkelling, swimming and lunch are all on the menu.

Back on the boat you'll make your way to Turtle Town, one of the best places to see turtles in their natural habitat, here you'll have another opportunity to jump in for swim (ensuring to keep safe distance from any marine life). Sign you up right now, shall we? (B)

A full day all to yourself.  No schedules, no plans - just you, the beach and that bright blue sky. If you're feeling energetic, your Trip Manager has plenty of ideas to get you out and about. Later this afternoon, opt in for an unforgettable sunset up at Haleakala - The House of the Sun.  Famous for it's dormant volcano crater and similarity to Mars' landscape, this is not only a once in a lifetime scene to witness, but the best way to truly appreciate Maui's unique beauty.

Tonight's activities include going local with your dinner options and then meet the Crew for a sundowner or two as you plan your next few days of adventure. **Departure time for Haleakala Sunset may be as early as 1:30pm depending on the time of year. (B)

Rise and shine folks, it's time to board our flight back to the beautiful shores of Waikiki. We're back to Oahu this morning and hitting the ground running with a Farm to Table tour of the Kahumana Farm - one of the longest serving produce farms on the island (and possibly the biggest heart).

Their mission is underscored by Maka'ala (mindfullness), Aloha (empathy) and Lokahi ( working together) and it's not JUST about growing some of the best tasting organic fruits and vegetables. They also support adults with developmental disabilities, housing and employment projects for homeless people in the Leeward community of Oahu and provide affordable meals for children across several schools and communities. 

We'll tour the farm, learn about all of the goodness (both edible and ethical) and then get to taste some of the fruits of their labors.  All proceeds of this tour go directly to Kahumana Farm and their community projects. Tonight we shift gears and party like it's our last night in Hawaii...because sadly, it is!   It's pool party time - pack your swimwear and best moves.  Floatation devices will be provided. (B)

Make sure to tag everyone in your frantic photo upload to social (we know you'll be too busy living in the moment during the trip to do it) so you can continue your Contiki travels together at a later date. Costa Rica sounds like a great idea... (B)
