Day 2At sea.A full day at sea aboard Ruby Princess. Sailing from San Francisco toward Kailua-Kona.
Kailua-Kona on the west coast of Hawaiʻi Island is usually a tender call into Kailua Bay. Aliʻi Drive, Huliheʻe Palace, and nearby snorkel sites are the independent focus when tenders run; landing depends on swell. Confirm tender tickets and return cutoffs aboard.
Ways to spend your day
Historic Kailua Village
Choose a manageable Aliʻi Drive section and keep the last return tender visible.
Inside Huliheʻe Palace
Confirm admission and any stair-access arrangements before the tender transfer.
Coffee at Greenwell Farms
Confirm the farm program and both road journeys separately from the tender process.
Honolulu on Oʻahu is Hawaiʻi’s busiest cruise call, with passenger facilities at Pier 2 and Pier 11 near downtown. Waikiki, Pearl Harbor historic sites, and Diamond Head are the usual day options; traffic between pier and beach resorts can be heavy, so plan timed returns carefully.
Ways to spend your day
ʻIolani Palace and downtown
Confirm your Palace entry and choose a manageable surrounding city section.
A Waikīkī shoreline break
Choose one comfortable section and keep the return transport arranged.
Pearl Harbor visitor center
Check bag rules and any timed program before arranging both road journeys.
Nāwiliwili is Kauaʻi’s primary cruise harbour near Līhuʻe. Ships berth at the commercial piers; Waimea Canyon, Wailua River, and Poʻipū-area beaches are typical excursion destinations rather than walkable from the dock. Confirm pier and shuttle plans on your documents.
Ways to spend your day
A Kalapakī shoreline break
Confirm current access and choose a comfortable shore-side section.
History at Kauaʻi Museum
Check current opening and admission for your call date.
A reserved Grove Farm visit
Book the museum appointment and check its full start and end against your harbor return.
Portside paths, science exhibits, a pedestrian plaza.
Ensenada is Baja's cruise port, ninety minutes south of the border, and the town is walkable from the pier. La Bufadora, a marine blowhole down the coast, is the standard excursion; the Valle de Guadalupe wine country inland is the better one if the call is long.
Ways to spend your day
Malecón and Ventana al Mar
Enjoy a selected waterfront section and the harbor setting.
Caracol Museo de Ciencias
Explore available science galleries at the Ensenada museum.
Plaza Santo Tomás
Explore the plaza’s public pedestrian setting and choose a stop if service is available.
