Black Sand – Hilo, Kona & Kahului
About this cruise
The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Honolulu on May 15, 2027, visiting Kahului, Hilo, Kailua-Kona and Nawiliwili. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Each island feels different: Maui's beaches, the Big Island's lava fields, Kauai's cliffs. Nawiliwili alone is worth the trip, Kauai's emerald cliffs meet the harbour. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Pride of America keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Honolulu before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Worth booking. That's the short version.
