Its beautiful landscapes include stunning cliffs, the glittering Pacific Ocean, and lush greenery as far as the eye can see. This five-day course is located in the Honolulu area and gives students the chance to experience local culture through excursions like the Polynesian Cultural Center and the Pearl Harbor National Memorial.
