Aloha! Let’s set sail on a group tour of Oahu!

This Ukulele Journey in Hawaii Tour is offered through the Ottawa-area based Captain Sandy’s Holiday Cruise Holidays & Ottawa Travel West on February 26 to March 6 2015. The price includes accommodation, a tour of Pearl Harbour, a tour of the KoAloha ukulele factory, meet-ups with ukulele musicians, local ukulele clubs, kanikapila, a luau, several lunches and dinners and 2 half-day ukulele workshops with famous ukulele instructors – Kimo Hussey and Roy Sakuma Jr.

All you have to do is contact Donna Curtis at Captain Sandy’s travel agency, and put down the $300 deposit. The rest is due on December the 1st.

Don’t have a travel companion? Just ask Donna when you book the tour about sharing accommodations with someone from her “share list”. You might make a great friend who automatically shares similar interests with you – playing the uke!
