Destination review, Hawaii

It also offers a great deal to the cruise passenger – you can take a helicopter trip to see lava erupting from volcanoes or a 4X4 trip to visit sparkling waterfalls and bright birds and butterflies during a mini-safari. Then surfing and snorkelling from spectacular beaches, dolphin and whale watching expeditions, native music and dancing and wonderful food. Travel to Hawaii costs most during the summer holidays, then November to Christmas (when many Americans travel there) and Easter, but off-peak holidays in October and May offer great bargains in very good weather.
