Please get in touch with us if you want to extend your stay in Hawaii before or after your Saphire Princess cruise. We have all sorts of transportation options, uniquely Hawaiian experiences, and great hotels to share with you.
Are you arriving on a different cruise ship? We help guests find great shore excursions across all Hawaiian Islands. Please fill out this form to help organize your vacation to Hawaii. We can arrange flights to Hawaii. Airport transfers to and from the Honolulu Harbor as well as transfers from your island resort are available.
The cruise ship leaves at 7AM and leaves at 5 PM from Honolulu Harbor so guests who come in the day before, or leave the day after have a full day to explore the island.
Many guests arrive and stay for a couple nights before or after in Waikiki. We recommend coming in a couple of days prior so you can take time to enjoy the island of Oahu and then fly out the day the ship returns to port. Tours with pick up at Honolulu Harbor Cruise Ship Pier can provide luggage storage for the day and take guests on a variety of experiences.
This is the only stop on the cruise where a tender boat is utilized. The short stop off the coast of Kailua-Kona is wonderful. The views are spectacular and the historic town is a nice place to stroll for a bit.
The experiences and sightseeing tours from this location are short and rich in culture and history of the area. Unfortunately, the rides tend to be long and the stops short due to time constraints.
There are some tours leaving from the Kailua-Kona pier like a submarine or snorkel trips. For those wanting to get into the air, there are many helicopter tour options about 30-50 minute drive away. Choose our roundtrip activity transfer service at checkout.
Our tours are designed so they return you to the ship in plenty of time before the “All Aboard” call.
We guarantee you won’t miss the ship’s departure. In the unlikely event that it occurs, we will make arrangements and cover expenses so you meet the ship at the next port of call. (This applies only to tours where Hawaii Tours provides round-trip transportation services.)
