Join us this time in HAWAII and find out why people don't want to miss a Deaf Freedom Cruise.
Fantastic Hawaiian Cruise - The Perfect Place for a Deaf Freedom Cruise!
We have waited for a cruise in Hawaii, and this one has the best schedule. 12 night cruise with 7 full days in Hawaii, visiting the 4 major islands
with 2 overnight stays - allows for the most time to see this paradise. Check out this great itinerary at: http://www.passagesdeaftravel.com/hawaii2012.htm#itin
OAHU: Hawaii's most populous and famous island, Oahu is renowned for its shopping, its food, its beautiful beaches, and its breathtaking views. Check out the surfers on the North Shore or Diamond Head Crater in Waikiki.
MAUI: The second largest Hawaiian island, Maui is known for its numerous beaches, rain forests, waterfalls, eucalyptus groves, and even unique cattle ranches. Don't miss the view from Haleakala, the largest dormant volcano in the world.
KAUAI: So green it's been nicknamed the "Garden Island," Kauai is a lush, largely unexplored paradise. Snorkel in its beautiful turquoise waters or explore the rain forests where Jurassic Park was shot.
HAWAII - the Big Island: The island of Hawaii is called the Big Island with good reason. It's more than twice the size of all the other Hawaiian islands combined. And every inch is covered with lush scenery, from rugged volcanoes to waterfalls and rain forests. It's home to the steaming craters and hardened-lava rivers of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
