You will receive a photo CD of your photos as well as scenic shots from Eye of the Islands' photo library. (Advanced registration required)

One of the calling cards of Hawaiian women is the Pareau, a colorful island scarf that can be worn in a variety of ways.

Over 300 pareaus will be available to choose from so you won't leave disappointed!

Option One: Grand Circle Island Tour with Dole Plantation
9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. (includes lunch)
Get to know Hawaii from the inside out with a tour that circles the entire island, covering 120 miles of Oahu's best sightseeing spots. For a close-up view of a seawater eruption, you'll visit Hawaii's own Old Faithful known as the "Blow Hole," where you'll witness oceanside water play at full-force. Besides Sandy Beach — a favorite for body surfers, you'll venture to the most celebrated surfing zones in the world along the North Shore — Waimea Bay, Sunset Beach and the spectacular Banzai Pipeline. You'll stop at Kualoa Ranch for a scenic tour ride into the Koolau Mountains overlooking Chinaman's Hat and Kaneohe Bay. At Dole Plantation you will learn about the history of Hawaii's pineapple industry and stroll through the Plantation Gardens. In colorful contrast to the brilliant blue of the crystalline waters, you'll also find emerald oceans of shimmering pineapple and sugar cane fields waving gently in the breeze. Take a glimpse into the Hawaii of long ago as you pass remnants of old homesteads on your return to Waikiki. You will stop for a lunch buffet at Turtle Bay.

Option Two: Kualoa Ranch Hawaiian Experience
11:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. (includes lunch)
Many years ago, ancient Hawaiians considered the 4,000 acre Kualoa as one of the most sacred locations on Oahu. The land is unique in that it covers three of the Ancient Hawaiian land divisions known as ahupua'a, each with distinctly different characteristics. The terrain varies from dense rain forests to broad open valleys, white sand beaches and awesome verdant cliff faces. It was also a residence of kings, a place of refuge and sanctuary or pu'uhonua. All this extraordinary beauty has been preserved throughout the years through the stewardship of the Morgan family. So E komo mai, come, and experience this vast and beautiful land called Kualoa. This excursion offers you your choice of an ATV or horseback tour in the morning and a one of the following in the afternoon: Hawaiian Fishpond and Garden Tour, Movie Sites and Ranch Tour, or Jungle Expedition. Enjoy lunch while taking in the beautiful views on the Ranch.
