DVD Reviews of Cruise Hawaii & Tahiti

DVD Review: No cruise info, but good travel guide otherwise
Summary: 5 Stars

Despite the title "Cruise Hawaii & Tahiti", the DVD actually tells you nothing about cruising the islands. For me, that was OK because I didn't care about that; if you do, you will be disappointed.
However, if you are looking for a comprehensive description of sights worth seeing, this is a good DVD.
I have only previously traveled to The Big Island, Oahu, and Kauai. For each of those islands, the DVD did a great job of covering all the highlights I had seen, and some besides.
The DVD also covers Lanai, Molokai, and Maui in the Hawaiian chain.
It covers Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea (and quick mention of Tahaa), and Bora Bora from the Society Island chain of French Polynesia, and Rangiroa in the Tuamotus.
Since I haven't been to any of those yet (I'll have done that after this Fall), I can't vouch for how thorough they were covered, but based on the three islands that I can compare to, I think they've done a good job.
The DVD does not cover practical travel tips, such as transportation, hotels, dining, currency, and such. If you want one of those, go check out the Globe Trekker series.
---- UPDATE ----
Have returned from my trip to Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, Taha'a, Bora Bora, Maupiti, and Rangiroa.
Looked at this DVD again after returning home, and can confirm that it does a pretty good job of covering the sights in the Society Islands and Rangiroa (but, as stated before, no practical traveler info).

Description of Cruise Hawaii & Tahiti

This spectacular cruise takes you to six islands in both Hawaii and French Polynesia. You'll comb powdery white-and-black-sand beaches, hike through lush forests, approach once mighty volcanoes, and witness waterborne adventures of every kind. You'll also experience the unexpected: probing the culture and history that makes each island - and its people - so unique. Your itinerary includes "Big Island" Hawaii, where Volcanoes National Park includes the still spewing Kilauea; "Garden Isle" Kauai, where lushness provided atmosphere to the films "South Pacific" and "Jurassic Park;" village-like Lanai, which once served as a big pineapple plantation; beautiful Maui, where historic town of Lahaina was an Hawaiian king's capital; peaceful Molokai, the island where the king banished victims of leprosy in the 19th century; cosmopolitan Oahu, which includes the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor and illustrious Waikiki Beach; French Polynesia's Bora Bora where a crystal-blue, marine life-rich lagoon seizes the imagination; traditional Huahine, where - according to legend - residents descended from the marriage of an eel and a lovely maiden; mountainous Moorea, the stunning place on which James Michener may have based his "Bali Hai;" spiritual Raiatea, the religious, political, and cultural center of ancient Polynesia; picture-perfect Rangiroa; and romantic Tahiti, where flowing, pulsating Polynesian dance is still king - and queen.

Extra Feature: Top 10 Attractions - Ever dream of swimming with the sharks? You can do exactly that in Bora Bora, floating just a few feet away from where guides are feeding hungry reef sharks. Along with visiting the 3500-foot deep Waimea Canyon on Kauai and jumping on a surf board at Waikiki Beach on Oahu, it comes highly recommended to anyone who plans a cruise to these dramatic islands.
