(TAN): Four Seasons Resorts Hawaii has announced a private jet experience of the islands, the hotel group said. The eight-night tour explores four Hawaiian islands — Oahu, Maui, Lanai and Hawaii Island — providing seamless private jet transfers throughout their journey.
The experience begins at Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, located on the Kona Coast of Hawaii Island. During the opening two nights of the experience, guests will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich history and unique traditions of Hawaii Island with the “Only at Hualalai” Bonga Perkins Wood Surfboard Experience, providing guests the opportunity to learn the ancient Hawaiian craft of wood surfboard shaping from renown surfer and Hawaii native Bonga Perkins.
Known as the birthplace of surfing, Hawaii has a rich history in the global sport and Perkins imparts his passion for surfing and Hawaii Island exclusively with guests of Hualalai.

Next, the private jet will fly guests away to Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, where Hawaii’s distinguished female celestial navigator Kala Baybayan Tanaka hosts a private star-guided sailing excursion aboard a luxury Trilogy catamaran, which includes a multi-course dinner inspired by canoe plants, prepared onboard by Four Seasons Resort Maui Chef Samual Taganeca.
Tanaka leads an extraordinary under-the-stars journey afterwards, recounting how her Polynesian ancestors navigated these very ocean roads by the stars, swells, wind, and other natural elements to discover Hawaii.
Also part of the trip is sailing on a private charter from the resort’s fleet, as the Lanai-based captain and crew tailors a personal ocean excursion on the pristine waters surrounding Hawaii’s smallest inhabited island. Climb aboard the Lanai II, a 65-foot (20 metre) sloop rigged sailing catamaran and enjoy snorkelling, scuba diving, whale watching, a sunset sail, or just relax and take in views of the beautiful Lanai coastline.
The journey then takes guests to the final destination, Four Seasons Resort Oahu, located along the island’s tranquil western coastline and anchored by immersive island-inspired activities and breath-taking view, where myriad experiences await.
The Four Seasons Resorts Hawaii Private Jet experience provides seamless and luxurious aircraft and inter-continental service on a large cabin aircraft via VistaJet. Guests will enjoy private jet transfers from their home location to the islands, as well as inter-island flights on a Pilatus PC-12 turboprop via Lanai Air between Lanai, Maui and Oahu. From the moment guests step aboard, the vacation begins with Four Seasons Resorts Hawaii touches throughout the flight. To ensure an exceptional level of service and customization, a dedicated team of Four Seasons professionals will be on hand throughout the entire experience from booking through departure.
“At Four Seasons Resorts Hawaii, we continuously strive to create extraordinary experiences for our guests,” said Charlie Parker, regional vice president and general manager. “With the launch of this collective four island experience, we are thrilled to offer our guests an exclusive journey through Hawaii they can only experience with Four Seasons. We created experiences at each destination to showcase the best of Hawaii’s culture, history, and natural beauty while providing unparalleled luxury and convenience.”
