Description

A Scenic Journey on the Big Island, Hawaii for Six Days & Five Nights at the (Marriot) Westin Hapuna Beach Resort for Two, Including a Big Island in a Day Tour of Volcanoes, Waterfalls, Sightseeing and History, and a $500 Gift Card Toward Golf, Spa or Dining (Land Only)

Stretching along its namesake white sand beach, the Westin Hapuna Beach Resort invites you to escape to this contemporary island retreat and make new memories in the Kohala Coast! Known for its world-class shoreline as well as for the cultural and archaeological gems nestled between its centuries-old lava fields, the Kohala Coast boasts Hawaiian history and breathtaking valleys. During your stay in paradise, make time to enjoy the wonders of Hawaii, from Mauna Kea's winter snow-capped mountaintop to the sizzling Kilauea Volcano and tropical rainforests, including the thundering waterfalls, the flowing lava of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and the southernmost point of America on your tour!

Greeting you with breathtaking views of the Pacific, the Westin Hapuna Beach Resort's contemporary Hawaiian style comes to life with lush, manicured gardens and the endless blues of the sky and the ocean. Enjoy several dining venues throughout the Mauna Kea Beach Resort complex, then hit the links on the award-winning 18-hole Hapuna Golf Course designed by Arnold Palmer. The WestinWorkout Center and Crossfit Studio are complemented by the Hapuna Spa for rejuvenation and relaxation, and you can cool off in two swimming pools, including a 6,800-square-foot freeform family pool and an adult-exclusive infinity pool. An easily accessible snorkeling area called Turtle Point lets you see plenty of colorful reef fish - and often sea turtles. Nearby you can visit Hapuna Beach State Park's recreation area, or take in the pastoral beauty of Waimea.

Your full-day educational adventure of the Big Island of Hawaii begins on the Kona coast, where you'll be picked up from your hotel, and driven north on a scenic journey past historic Parker Ranch. As you pass through the ranching town of Waimea, watch as the landscape changes from pastures to green, tropical rainforest, as sweeping views of the Hamakua Coast start creeping into view. During a stop at Waipio Valley lookout, marvel at the way the vertical cliffs seem to explode from the green valley floor. The adventure continues as you wind your way down the Hamakua Coast, past roadside towns until you reach Akaka Falls and Rainbow Falls, the most dramatic waterfalls on the island. You'll then make your way back toward sea level at Punalu'u Beach to take a stroll on a black-sand beach where, if you're lucky, you'll find Hawaiian green sea turtles basking on the coast! Head next to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, before rounding the southern tip of the island, the southernmost point in America. Look out for Kealakekua Bay, the spot where Captain Cook was killed in a skirmish with Native Hawaiians.

6 days/5 nights accommodations at the (Marriot) Westing Hapuna Beach Resort, Hawaii
Daily complimentary breakfast
All room-related taxes
