I think it was 2015, did a week's cruise around the islands finishing with a week in Honolulu.

It's a bucket-list destination really and the previous comments about Honolulu I'd agree with but elsewhere on O'ahu there are some fine, unspoiled places to see and stay. Inevitably though, they're relatively 'quiet'.

The other islands are all different, a couple with black, volcanic sand which is odd. As I recall, apart from spectacular scenery there wasn't much to do that was different except for the super beaches and wonderful waters with an abundance of fish to swim amongst. An abiding memory for me was a round of golf on a course which skirted the ocean with a number of greens to be reached across open sea.

As someone else said, I'm glad I went but would think twice about making the long journey again.
