Creator's Key Takeaways

This might be one of the best excursions I've ever done with Norwegian.

I could not recommend both of those excursions more.

It was an amazing morning.

10 out of 10. Honestly, that was such a great excursion.

It's day two in Maui on Norwegian Cruise Line Pride of America cruise ship! I am heading out on TWO excursions today, and they couldn't be more different! I woke up at 2:00 AM to meet my tour guide for a sunrise tour up on Haleakala. This was booked through Viator (see link below) and I loved every second! The weather was VERY cold up at the top of the mountain, but the sunrise was so worth it! I was nearly brought to tears by the beautiful colors as the sun started peeking out from the clouds. I made it back to the ship in time to meet for my next excursion booked through NCL, Turtles & Tacos! This was a luxury catamaran snorkel cruise that included a full open bar and a delicious taco lunch! This was by far one of my favorite days of the whole cruise, and both excursions were 10/10 experiences. As a solo cruiser, I would easily recommend both!
