Journey to Hawaii, between jungle and volcanoes

MAUI, AN ISLAND PARADISE
Your first stop in this beautiful Hawaiian archipelago will be the island of Maui.
You’ll spend 2 nights on each side of the island, allowing you to take in all that Maui has to offer. The western side, around Lahaina, is covered in lush forest filled with fruit trees, waterfalls, and natural pools.
Wander through this jungle where ancient terraced taro plantations were once cultivated by local populations, then take time to swim at one of the many white sand beaches, each more beautiful than the last. Perhaps also a good opportunity to spot green turtles?
Along the scenic road to the village of Hana, which winds along the coast through dense tropical forest, you’ll reach the eastern side of the island for the following 2 nights.
One day will be devoted to the ascent of Haleakala, “the house of the sun”.
With a striking view over the world’s largest dormant volcano, you can take an astonishing hike into the crater itself.

BIG ISLAND, THE FIERY ONE
Your journey continues on Big Island, officially named Hawaii and the largest island in the archipelago. Your 5-night stay, split between Kona and Hilo, will focus heavily on volcano exploration.
Hawaii keeps surprising, with green mountains sometimes covered in cacti or forest, beaches, and volcanoes that rise to over 4,000 meters for some. Nature rules here, with an incredible force emanating from the island as waves strike the rocks with such intensity that they reshape the coastline, while the earth rumbles and spews its fiery lava.
Don’t miss Hawaii Volcanoes National Park!
This park is home to the impressive Mauna Loa volcano as well as Kilauea, considered one of the most active volcanoes on the planet. You can take part in one of the many activities on offer: snorkeling, surfing or windsurfing lessons, boat tours and whale watching, sea kayaking excursions…

OAHU, THE LEGENDARY ISLAND
Your stay in the Hawaiian archipelago will come to an end on the island of Oahu.
Waikiki and Honolulu are probably names you’ve already heard, if only through American TV shows. Today, Diamond Head and its crater await. After a rewarding climb, you’ll reach a panoramic viewpoint over the ocean and the two volcanic mountain ranges that formed the island.
Beyond its beaches and surf, Oahu has much more to offer, including turtle watching, eroded cliffs, and pineapple plantations at the island’s center. And if history interests you, a detour to the Pacific Aviation Museum at Pearl Harbor is a must.
3 nights split between Waikiki and Turtle Bay will be well spent!
