When it was cut by hand burning the cane burnt off most of the leafy parts and just left the cane. Fire increases the sugar concentration but it then falls off quickly so it needs to be cut ASAP. In the modern era burning is a rarity

Hi thanks for your comment. I think the men and women of America and it’s allies fought for freedom. I assume the narrator to be a US citizen. He was a little boy living in Honolulu with has family at the time of the attack. He recounts what he saw and remembers. I’m sure they had a team of narrators at the time from various backgrounds. Our boat had many sailors and pilots as it was just before RIMFIRE. Everyone seemed happy with the personal account. Each to there own.

@@TreadmillPack Yes majority of all the men and women who served WW2 were white Americans or black Americans.. if you can recall they segregated the Japanese Americans to be cautious against sabotage. It is not a racist statement to be honest about history. Can you give me one example of a native islander serving in the Pearl Harbor fleet? If you can I will retract that statement.

Internet Privacy Advocate My family flew twice with Safari, at both Kona and Kauai and I’d fly with them again any day!

VonSutho I’m glad you enjoyed it. I was so glad when this tour developed by the local council in cooperation with the mill. I was the same; I wanted to show my children (teens) a cane fire from when it was first lit. That tour brought back a lot of memories, both the sight and sound.

Ben Hall for years I passed through the Burdekin when I lived up north. Beautiful place. Ayr had a great bakery too. Good times.

pressrepeat2000 Hi, thanks for the feedback and question. I loved each island as each are different. On Maui we lost a lot of day 1 due to driving highway 340. We stayed away from the large resorts on the west coast and enjoyed the beaches around Wailea. We thoroughly enjoyed Hawai’i (both sides) and have holidayed there again since - love Kina! On Kauai, by completing the ‘big ticket’ tours of the canyon and helicopter we didn’t get to feel the vibe of the island. I’d love to return to Kauai and cruise around the eastern townships.

pressrepeat2000 Thank you for taking time to reply. I would take this cruise again in a heartbeat

MrRamyon74 Definitely a beautiful place which you will wish to return too. The cruise is a great way to sample each of the main islands. Thank for the comment.

Yes it is a skinny road; single lane for approx 35 miles. Speed limit for much of it was 5 mph. The drive did provide us with unbelievable scenery. The important fact is you only have 2 days on the island and the drive anti clockwise around the top of the island took more than half a day.

MrRamyon74 I reread your comment. If you wish to visit the blowhole you will get there in less time and there is a lot to see by driving straight across the island and driving clock wise.

Never mind, I see that Oahu. :)

You are correct; Honolulu Oahu.

It is something special!

Thanks for taking the time you comment

Hi we (family) rented a car at Maui for 2 days, Hilo for 1, and on kawaii for 2. At all locations the rental companies brought shuttles to the ship to collect customers. At the time we were at Maui the car park near the port was closed so the rental companies were running shuttles continuously to the airport to leave the car. I think it cost about $15-20 for the night. Hilo was no issue. While at kawaii you could park overnight about 300m from the ship on the side of the road. We chose to park in the small shopping center nearby which had a security guard overnight. From memory it was about $20. It was Awaya an easy process to collect and drop off cars.

It’s not an excursion, the ship sails south around the big island so you can see the flow from the port side. The ship no longer sails south because there is no active lava flow☹️
