Where You'll Stay

Operated by cosmos.

The Cosmos Story. For nearly 60 years, Cosmos has done something remarkable: Bringing the world to people; and people to the world. By pioneering value touring vacations, we have a long history of turning travel dreams into reality. We make possible “never thought I would” or “never imagined I could” moments by making travel attainable and easy. And in doing that, we help travelers expand their horizons, clear their heads and open their hearts to the world around them. Cosmos understands that adventure is waiting for us – all of us – out in the world. And there simply is no better time than the present to discover new sights, new sensations and new experiences. That’s why we pride ourselves in turning “what if” moments into “I did” realizations. With our new look and feel, we’re celebrating this ideal and the unparalleled and attainable access we offer our travelers to the globe with value-centric vacations in 64 countries, on six continents. Let the unexpected begin. Let awe-inspiring take over. Adventure is knocking. As a Cosmos traveler, we know you will answer – as you always have – by finding adventure in the world around you.

Day 2 HONOLULU. EXCURSION TO USS ARIZONA

Morning orientation with your Tour Director. Your sightseeing excursion features Pearl Harbor, the sunken USS Arizona and its impressive memorial to the men still entombed there, as well as Punchbowl National Cemetery with its beautiful views of Honolulu. Other sites include bustling Chinatown, ‘Iolani Palace, and the statue of King Kamehameha the Great.

Day 3 HONOLULU

Today is at leisure. Your Tour Director will have suggestions, including activities near world-famous Waikiki Beach or a full-day optional outing to the Polynesian Cultural Center on the North Shore, where you’ll enjoy a dinner buffet and the colorful Ha: Breath of Life stage show.

Day 4 HONOLULU–HILO–HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK–KONA

This morning, depart for Hilo on the “Big Island” of Hawaii with its spectacular scenery that includes misty plateaus, craggy cliffs, tropical rainforests, bamboo groves, and lava deserts. On arrival, tour Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. See Kilauea Crater, rising 4,090 feet above a volcanic wonderland of steaming fire pits, lava tubes, and fern forests. Arrive in Kona on the sunny side of the “Big Island” in the early evening.

The following two days are free to explore the charming and historic town of Kailua-Kona. Optional activities include a snorkeling cruise to a coral reef to view magnificent tropical fish; or a drive up the scenic Kohala coastline to hike and immerse yourself in stunning private waterfalls and delve into ancient Hawaiian history.

Today is yours to relax and explore the resort area of Kailua, situated between Kailua Bay and the dormant Hualalai Volcano. Kailua is rich in history, featuring the historic Hulihe’e Palace, former vacation home of the Hawaiian Royal Family, and Ahu’ena Heiau, the restored personal temple of King Kamehameha the Great. This area is renowned for its famous Kona coffee, one of the most sought-after coffees in the world. Tonight, perhaps join the optional He 'Ohana Kakou Luau featuring an abundant Hawaiian buffet and Polynesian show beside Kailua Bay.

Day 7 KONA–WAIMEA CANYON–KAUAI

Morning transfer to Kona International Airport for the flight to the “Garden Isle” of Kauai. Drive along the scenic southern shore via Poipu Beach to Waimea, once the Polynesian capital of Kauai and the site where Captain Cook landed on the islands in 1778.

Later, arrive at your oceanside hotel in Kapa’a.

Day 8 KAUAI

Kauai has a lot to offer, and your Tour Director will have suggestions including experiencing the majestic scenery of Kauai on a spectacular waterfall helicopter journey.

Day 9 KAUAI–’IAO VALLEY–MAUI

This morning, fly to Maui, the “Valley Island" and travel between the beautiful West Maui mountains and Haleakala volcano. Sightseeing includes a visit to Iao Valley, a stunning landscape that Mark Twain called the "Yosemite of the Pacific" to view Iao Needle. Continue past Maalaea Harbor and see the offshore islands of Kahoolawe, Lanai, and Molokai before arriving at the Kaanapali Beach resort area.

Day 10 MAUI

A full day at leisure to enjoy Maui’s splendid beaches, relax by the hotel pool or go on an optional outing like the Road to Hana, one of the world’s most spectacular scenic drives, with 54 bridges and many waterfalls. Just a short stroll from the hotel is Whalers Village with Maui’s best assortment of art galleries, boutiques, and oceanfront restaurants. Ride the free Ka'anapali Trolley and see the former vacation place of the Royal Chiefs of Maui who enjoyed lawn bowling using stones on what are now the Ka'anapali Golf Courses. Be sure to catch the stunning sunset and ocean views.

Day 11 MAUI

Your vacation ends this morning. You may choose to extend your vacation with extra nights and explore the Valley Island further.

With COSMOS, there’s no better way to get to know your destination than through the eyes of a Tour Director. We’d like you to meet one of our Tour Directors, who average over a decade of experience and are representative of the type of expert that will be with you on your vacation.

HONOLULU Aloha—welcome to Hawaii! Your Tour Director is on hand late this afternoon to answer any questions.

HONOLULU. EXCURSION TO USS ARIZONA Morning orientation with your Tour Director. Your sightseeing excursion features Pearl Harbor, the sunken USS Arizona and its impressive memorial to the men still entombed there, as well as Punchbowl National Cemetery with its beautiful views of Honolulu. Other sites include bustling Chinatown, ‘Iolani Palace, and the statue of King Kamehameha the Great.

HONOLULU Today is at leisure. Your Tour Director will have suggestions, including activities near world-famous Waikiki Beach or a full-day optional outing to the Polynesian Cultural Center on the North Shore, where you’ll enjoy a dinner buffet and the colorful Ha: Breath of Life stage show.

HONOLULU–HILO–HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK–KONA This morning, depart for Hilo on the “Big Island” of Hawaii with its spectacular scenery that includes misty plateaus, craggy cliffs, tropical rainforests, bamboo groves, and lava deserts. On arrival, tour Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. See Kilauea Crater, rising 4,090 feet above a volcanic wonderland of steaming fire pits, lava tubes, and fern forests. Arrive in Kona on the sunny side of the “Big Island” in the early evening.

KONA The following two days are free to explore the charming and historic town of Kailua-Kona. Optional activities include a snorkeling cruise to a coral reef to view magnificent tropical fish; or a drive up the scenic Kohala coastline to hike and immerse yourself in stunning private waterfalls and delve into ancient Hawaiian history.

KONA Today is yours to relax and explore the resort area of Kailua, situated between Kailua Bay and the dormant Hualalai Volcano. Kailua is rich in history, featuring the historic Hulihe’e Palace, former vacation home of the Hawaiian Royal Family, and Ahu’ena Heiau, the restored personal temple of King Kamehameha the Great. This area is renowned for its famous Kona coffee, one of the most sought-after coffees in the world. Tonight, perhaps join the optional He 'Ohana Kakou Luau featuring an abundant Hawaiian buffet and Polynesian show beside Kailua Bay.

KONA–WAIMEA CANYON–KAUAI Morning transfer to Kona International Airport for the flight to the “Garden Isle” of Kauai. Drive along the scenic southern shore via Poipu Beach to Waimea, once the Polynesian capital of Kauai and the site where Captain Cook landed on the islands in 1778. Sightseeing highlights include Waimea Canyon, known as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” the lush and fertile Hanapepe Valley, and a photo stop at Spouting Horn, a dramatic blowhole on the ocean’s edge. Later, arrive at your oceanside hotel in Kapa’a.

KAUAI Kauai has a lot to offer, and your Tour Director will have suggestions including experiencing the majestic scenery of Kauai on a spectacular waterfall helicopter journey.

KAUAI–’IAO VALLEY–MAUI This morning, fly to Maui, the “Valley Island" and travel between the beautiful West Maui mountains and Haleakala volcano. Sightseeing includes a visit to Iao Valley, a stunning landscape that Mark Twain called the "Yosemite of the Pacific" to view Iao Needle. Continue past Maalaea Harbor and see the offshore islands of Kahoolawe, Lanai, and Molokai before arriving at the Kaanapali Beach resort area.

MAUI A full day at leisure to enjoy Maui’s splendid beaches, relax by the hotel pool or go on an optional outing like the Road to Hana, one of the world’s most spectacular scenic drives, with 54 bridges and many waterfalls. Just a short stroll from the hotel is Whalers Village with Maui’s best assortment of art galleries, boutiques, and oceanfront restaurants. Ride the free Ka'anapali Trolley and see the former vacation place of the Royal Chiefs of Maui who enjoyed lawn bowling using stones on what are now the Ka'anapali Golf Courses. Be sure to catch the stunning sunset and ocean views.

MAUI Your vacation ends this morning. You may choose to extend your vacation with extra nights and explore the Valley Island further.

RANDY SCHUSTER

Escorting tours for more than 20 years

" Being a Tour Director has afforded me the opportunity to travel more than I would have ever dreamed. During my many years as a Tour Director, I have had the opportunity to lead tours in Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Hawaii, and the Western U.S. I am extremely proud of my home state of California. Come with me on tour and I will show you the unique beauty, ethnic diversity, tempting local cuisine, and, hopefully, help you spot a celebrity or two! "

This eclipse is the second time in seven years that such an astronomical rarity has favored a large part of the nation. The August 2017 total solar eclipse — for which TIME rented a private four-seat plane to document the phenomenon — cut a mirroring path from Oregon to South Carolina.

This means there is 9,286 square-mile quadrangle centered on southern Illinois that the cosmos has favored with two complete solar eclipses in less than a decade. As astrophysical odds go, one envies the residents of this anointed parallelogram.

How the simulation works

TIME's solar eclipse simulation uses coordinates for the sun, Earth, and moon from NASA's industrial-grade SPICE toolkit , which we calculated in the J2000 reference frame centered on the Earth. (Many modern calculations use this pre-Copernican view of the cosmos as a matter of convenience.)

Rather than calculating the exact moment that the eclipse begins and ends for thousands of locations, our simulation uses these coordinates to create a realtime 3D simulation with the same type of computer programming that is common in video games. This includes rotating the viewer's camera in accordance with the Earth's rotation over the course of the eclipse, which accounts for why the moon appears to cut a curved path across the sky.

We took a few small artistic liberties in moderately exaggerating the degree of darkness one witnesses in a partial eclipse by adding a faint ambient light to see the surface of the moon in better detail.

Where the times you see in this simulation differ from other sources of eclipse data by a minute or two, the discrepancy is most likely a small difference in the precise location of the calculation or a slightly different way of accounting for the time it takes the speed of light to travel from the sun to the Earth.

Reviews of this Operator

We have just returned from a cosmos….

We have just returned from a Cosmos tour- Gourmet Tuscany. We stayed in Montecatini Terme and traveled from there to many wonderful places, in towns and the fabulous Tuscan countryside. We visit Vineyards for wine tastings, farms for cooking lessons and lunches and dinners in authentic Italian restaurants. All assisted by a friendly, informative tour director. First class holiday

Excellent in every respect

I recently did a 2-week "best of Italy" tour with this company. Our guide, Daniella, was fantastic, the itinerary was excellent and they catered for my rather difficult dietary requirements really well. Really happy and will certainly book with them again

A wonderrful experience

WE saw so much. The tour director Mladin was very knowledgeable and made the experience so enjoyable. The bus driver Paul was so nice and helpful. A couple of the hotels had no refrigerators to keep the water cold. We had to carry our own luggage to and from the rooms. There should have been porters to help us. Over all we had a great time.

Old South &Florida tour

Great organisation, tour guide(Kris) and driver(Tony) who went extra mile and good group of people from all over world. The hotels were excellent in New Orleans and Nashville and very good in other cities. The itinerary was well thought out with visits to Gracelands and Grande ole Oprey topping the bill. We added 3extra nights in New Orleans (giving us 6nights) which was absolutely fab and would advise anyone doing this tour that they consider some extra nights to see and do as much as you can

The tour director expertise and…

The tour director expertise and personality made the trip all the more pleasant. No stress. The local guides as well added to the beauty of this trip. They were knowledgeable and personable. I also have to mention the travelers (the group of 21). The people were friendly an accommodating. This is my third trip with this tour company and I will continue to travel with this company due to excellent planning and customer service. Thank you
