PRIDE OF AMERICA SHORE EXCURSIONS - Norwegian Cruise Line

PRIDE OF ALOHA SHORE EXCURSIONS
SECRETS OF PUNA ITO-027
Approximate Duration: 6 hours Level 2 / Meal
Climb aboard a luxury 4 x 4 SUV for a very memorable and exciting adventure to Puna, located on the southeast corner of the Big
Island and home to some of the world’s most spectacular natural sights. Kilauea Volcano has been erupting continuously since January 3,
1983 and has added more than 600 acres of land to the island. This creation also came at a price. As we set off on our journey, sit back
and relax as we play for you a visual audio onboard showing footage of the eruptions and hearing firsthand stories of life in Kalapana
from former residents who witnessed the destruction of their homes and lives only fifteen years ago. During this venture you will visit the
site of what was once know to be the finest black sand beach in the world, Kaimu, entombed since 1990 under 75 feet of lava. We then
stop at Mackenzie Park and view the dramatic 75-foot high lava cliffs overlooking the brilliant blue waters of the Pacific. Here you will
enjoy a gourmet lunch while you admire the views. After lunch we continue on to the village of Kapoho, destroyed by the eruption in
1960 before making a stop at the secret volcanically heated saltwater pool, where you can snorkel if you wish or just take a swim to
cool off. Our final destination is to Lava Tree State Park for a short walk, where in 1790 a lava flow overran the jungle and Ohia trees
encasing them forever in lava. On our return drive we will pass through Pahoa, a quaint town with wooden sidewalks and an outlaw
reputation, and the perfect spot to see old Hawai‘i!
Note: Participants must be in good health and able to walk over uneven ground. We recommend you wear a swimsuit under comfortable clothing, walking
shoes, a light raincoat and bring along sunscreen and a hat. Snorkel gear and beach towels are all provided. Lunch, snacks and beverages are also included
throughout the day. This tour is exclusive and only accommodates up to 7 people.
