Creator's Key Takeaways

I really enjoyed it and I would not hesitate to do it again

It's definitely the best way to see the islands

The sunrise at the summit was the biggest highlight

The crew is largely American and I didn't notice anything that would disturb me about levels or quality of service

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use shakka guides for affordable self-driving tours in port
Don't judge all cruises by this one-off Hawaiian itinerary
