Exploring Hawaii's Big Island | Volcanoes National Park, Kona & Captain Cook Cruise

Join us as we explore two very different sides of Hawaii's Big Island during our cruise aboard Pride of America. Our first stop takes us from Hilo to Volcanoes National Park, with a sweet visit to Big Island Candies along the way. Unfortunately, the weather had other plans, and rain, mist and low cloud made capturing the dramatic volcanic landscapes a challenge. Even so, there's something fascinating about experiencing Hawaii's raw and unpredictable natural beauty. The following day couldn't have been more different. Under glorious Hawaiian sunshine, we spend the day exploring the charming town of Kona, enjoying a relaxed lunch by the waterfront before setting sail on a catamaran cruise along the stunning Kona Coast. Along the way we visit the historic waters near Kealakekua Bay, where Captain James Cook met his fate in 1779. Back aboard Pride of America, we round off another wonderful day in paradise with dinner at Jefferson's Bistro. If you're planning a Hawaiian cruise or simply dreaming of the islands, we hope you enjoy coming along for the journey. 🚢 Ship: Pride of America 📍 Ports: Hilo & Kona, Hawaii 🌺 Highlights: Big Island Candies, Volcanoes National Park, Kona Town, Kealakekua Bay & Captain Cook Monument, Catamaran Cruise, Jefferson's Bistro Don't forget to like, subscribe and join us for more cruise adventures from around the world.
