8 "Don't-Miss" spots on the Big Island of Hawaii: One Month on a Cruise Ship: Episode 6

The Half Fast Travelers are taking back to back cruises starting in Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada, and visiting Alaska, Hawaii and Tahiti. We are sailing aboard the Norwegian Cruise Lines Spirit, the line's smallest ship. Fortunately we feel the small ships are sometimes the best choice for this type of cruise. Our Alaska stops include: Ketchikan, Glacier Bay, Juneau, Skagway, and Sitka. Then it's five sea days across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii where we'll be stopping on the Big Island, Oahu, Kauai, and Oahu. Once we reach Oahu we will be staying on the ship for a second cruise that revisits the same islands in Hawaii, but then crosses into the South Pacific to French Polynesia. Once there, the ship stops in Moorea, Raiatea, and Tahiti. When we arrive in Papeete we will have been on the ship for nearly one month. Once ashore we will be staying two nights in an over-the-water bungalow at the Intercontinental hotel in Tahiti before flying home.

In Episode 6, we travel to the Big Island of Hawaii making two stops on our back to back cruise. We explore the island cities of Hilo and Waimea. We also visit some of the best things to see and do on the Big Island: Volcanoes National Park where we see an active eruption of Mount Kilauea, we explore Nahuku Thurston Lava Tube, we take scenic photos along Chain of Craters Road and see Holei Sea Arch, we see Akaka Falls, take scenic photos of Waipio Valley, drive to the top of Mauna Kea, and pay brief visits to Boiling Pots, Rainbow Falls, and Kaumana Caves. The video is a complete guide on what to see and do when visiting The Big Island by cruise ship, or even if you're staying on the island.
