We're currently sitting in a Waikiki  beachfront bar and restaurant, House without a Key, having cocktails and bar snacks. The sun has just set, behind clouds unfortunately, but it was still nice. There is a Hawaiian trio playing local music. What a great life!

Thanks for the update  sounds like your days are full  can't wait for April 2020  how are the daily sea day activities  though a deck chair and something cool sounds good

Cheers Dorothy

There are plenty of things to do on sea days. I can't remember all of them but there is trivia, port lectures, movies, games like carpet bowls and bean bag throwing in the Atrium and lots more stuff.

Sounds wonderful, make sure you do not stay too late, wouldn't want to miss the ship.

I like to get all over the island and check out the various beaches.

Yes, we did that, turtles and all.

A nice queue forming. Hope it isn't too hot.

[OzKiwiJJ]

It was hot but just along from the tender wharf there was a park with a huge banyan tree so we sat there with a fresh lemonade until the queue dissipated.

Good thinking.

This cruise is on my bucket list.

The lava tunnels and Volcano are the drawcards here.

After disembarking Noordam in June we took a cab in from the Honolulu port to Waikiki - Parkshore hotel, end of the strip - Diamond Head end. About US$40, (with $5 tip) 😮 it is about half hour journey.  You could also get a local bus from the port.

We had shuttles put on when we visited, they were free. But it really wasn't too far to walk for the keen people and there was the local bus and plenty of cabs.

For day visits to Honolulu by the ships, the WalMart bus is often at the port, giving pax a free ride downtown to Walmart of course which is only a couple of blocks behind the big Ala Moana shopping mall.

On our visits to Honolulu there have been a few different free shuttle buses put on by various businesses in Honolulu.

We did the helicopter excursion over the volcanic area. Absolutely brilliant, worth every exorbitant dollar. The helicopter was gorgeous, the volcanic area was fascinating, and we also got to see waterfalls than can only be seen from the air as they are in thick bush with no tracks in to them.

[OzKiwiJJ]

The helicopter.

The crater from last year's eruption.

One of the waterfalls.

[MicCanberra]

We had the same chopper (company) when we did it.
