Peace2U Posted September 5, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) I am trying to decide between shore excursions through Princess Cruises. One goes through Waikiki, Hanuama Bay, blowhole, Waimanalo, and Pali Lookout and the other goes to Diamond Head, Hanuama Bay, blowhole, Makapu'u Point, and Pali Lookout. I like the idea of seeing Diamond Head vs Waikiki, but I don't know much about Waimanalo vs Makapu'u Point. Any suggestions? Update: I just looked it up and they are the same thing. Is that true?

They are not the same thing, when you say Makapu'u Point are you talking about hiking to the lighthouse? Or is it just a scenic drive by? The Waimanalo stop I’m assuming is a stop at the beach. Waimanalo beach is one of my favorites on island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makapu'u Point is 5 miles or so from Waimanalo Beach so it depends on what the cruise line is calling "Waimanalo". Along the same lines, what does "seeing Diamond Head" mean? Driving inside the crater? Hiking Diamond Head? If you don't hike Diamond Head, you don't really "see it" in my book. Understanding the details of the itinerary is important.

Wow, I can't believe this is the first time I have been back on since September. Edited March 28, 2023 by Peace2U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
