Hawaii Golf Cruises Find Favor with Australian ... - i Golf Travel News

GolfAhoy, golf cruise tour operator specialists based in Sanibel, Florida, say it saw significant incremental active golfer holiday traffic from Australia, Japan and South Korea for its ?10 Day VIP Deluxe GolfAhoy Circle Hawaii Golf Cruise? packages during 2012.

?Increased air lift from Australia to Hawaii is certainly helping to introduce more Australian golfers to Hawaii?s fabulous golf infrastructure. The Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) reports that arrivals from Japan in 2012 are up 16%. The HTA report also indicated visitor increases of 44% from South Korea, coupled with a 31% increase in visitors from Oceania. Those numbers help explain why Australian golfers, Japanese golfers and South Korean golfers are opting to discover Hawaii golf via a GolfAhoy circle Hawaii golf cruise?, said Lori Henderson ? Webber, Co-owner of GolfAhoy Golf Cruises, established in 1988.

The popular 10 Day VIP Deluxe GolfAhoy Hawaii Golf Cruise package is inclusive of seven rounds of challenging championship golf spread over the ten days. The standard 10 day GolfAhoy package starts from the international arrivals baggage carousel at Honolulu Airport every Wednesday (scheduled departures 52 weeks of the year) with an Aloha meet-and-greet from the waiting GolfAhoy chauffer. GolfAhoy guests, golf bags and luggage are transferred by private limo to the Turtle Bay Golf Resort on the north island shore for a 3 night stay with unlimited golf play on the Arnold Palmer course and the George Fazio course.

GolfAhoy also offers clients an optional convenient international door to door golf bag and luggage express courier delivery service. Nike club rentals are also an available service option.
Turtle Bay Golf & Spa Resort nightly accommodations in the GolfAhoy package include the deluxe ocean front Beach Cottages. A buffet breakfast in the hotel tower can be included although most GolfAhoy guests seem to opt to order a la carte breakfasts served on their Beach Cottage veranda through the hotels room service.

For non-golfer travel companions GolfAhoy exchanges golf at Turtle Bay for personalized Spa treatments. Spa treatments aboard ship can also be exchanged for golf shore excursions during the seven day circle Hawaiian Islands cruise.

Hawaii is an expensive travel destination especially with daily golf greens fees and cart rentals thrown into the equation. Deluxe hotel and resort accommodations, car rental and golf rounds, together can easily add up to $840 or more per day ? and that does not include any daily meals or nightly entertainment.
