| Lahaina Port Call | |
 This is our first (of two) port calls where it is necessary to use Tenders to reach the shore |
 A tender is lowered to the sea . . . |
 Now has reached the water . . . |
 . . . heading off to pick us up . . . |
 . . . A tender heading toward shore |
 The Statendam from shore |

 One of the shore options is to take a helicopter ride, here looking at the vast expanse of the Haleakala Crater. (Photo by MDV) |
 Again from the Helicopter - some of the sugar cane fields, many of which are no longer being harvested due to raising labor costs. (Photo by MDV) |
 Loading up, after a full day on the island. The other port which requires tender service is Kona. |
