Insight Vacations Adds Hawaii to Gold Tour Catalogue

Insight Vacations has announced the addition of Hawaii to their luxury Gold Tour offerings for 2012.

The Hawaiian Dreams vacation is unique to Insight Vacations and can last for 10 or 12 days. Guests can stay in Banyan Oceanview rooms at the Moana Surfrider, a Westin Resort & Spa in Honolulu, the Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas on Maui,  the Fairmont Orchid on Hawaii Island, and the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa.

Insight includes almost everything in this Gold package, including headsets for all guided visits and all hotel service charges, taxes and porterage. Insight also takes the hassle out of getting from island to island by including airport transfers and inter-island airfare.
