Add That Extra Spark to your Hawaii Vacation! 

Our Hawaii tours are packed with an eclectic mix of experiences across all four main islands. If you’d like to enhance your trip with more personalized experiences, why not add some of our engaging optional add-on excursions to your tour? 

From exciting luaus set in scenic locales to road trips with breathtaking views of tumbling waterfalls and jagged cliffs dropping into the ocean, our Hawaii optional add-on excursions truly elevate your trip, while offering great value! Plus, our local guides have a deep understanding of the Hawaiian islands, and they’ll make sure your vacation is packed with authentic experiences and a lot of fun! 

Not sure where to begin? Here are some of our recommendations. 

1. Experience a Luau in Kona or Oahu  

A luau is more than just a feast—it’s a peek into the rich culture, history and cuisine of Hawaii. Enjoy an opportunity to experience a fun-filled luau on our Hawaii land tours and cruises!  

Book our Hawaiian Luau in Kona as an optional add-on excursion with our Best of Hawaii Four-Island Tour. One of the most popular luaus on Big Island, it takes place at the historical site of Kamakahonu against the backdrop of a stunning sunset by the ocean. 

Alternatively, if you’re on our Hawaiian Islands Cruise & Tour in 2026, you might want to join our Rock-A-Hula Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show, offered as an add-on with this trip. The “hottest show in Waikiki” takes you on a Hawaiian journey from the 1920s through powerful music and dance. 

2. Dive deep into Polynesian Culture 

For a deeper understanding of Hawaiian culture, look no further than the Polynesian Cultural Center in Oahu. A living museum, it’s a great place to learn more about the different Pacific islands and cultures that make Polynesia, from Fiji and New Zealand to Hawaii and Samoa. Offered as an optional add-on excursion with all our Hawaii tours, this day-long activity includes a buffet dinner, a guided tour of the center with access to an immersive performance at the Pacific Theater. 
 

3. Discover Waimea Canyon in Kauai 

Waimea Canyon, often called the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” is a tapestry of deep red cliffs, lush green valleys, and sparkling waterfalls. You’ll get a chance to discover the stunning beauty of the region in Kauai, the Garden Isle, on our optional excursion with our Best of Hawaii Four-Island Tour. The guided tour also includes stops at Hanapepe Lookout, Spouting Horn and some free time at Waimea Town.  

4. Explore untouched Maui on an epic drive 

Slow down and unearth the treasures of Paradise on an enjoyable drive down the Road to Hana. Offered as an add-on with our Best of Hawaii Four-Island Tour, this is a journey to remember! Wind through a lush, tropical paradise, where every curve reveals a new wonder. Cascading waterfalls tumble down emerald cliffs, while rainforests, vibrant flowers, and dramatic coastline greet you at every turn.
