Aloha – Welcome to Paradise!

Arlington Club’s annual journey to Hawai‘i is a treasured tradition built over two decades of shared experiences, friendship, and relaxed luxury.

Originally pioneered in 2002 by the Club’s newly formed Golf Committee and inspired by the longtime connection of Dr. Les Bergeron to the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, this special gathering was designed to blend the best of both worlds: the camaraderie of fellow members and guests, and the beauty of a world-class resort destination. What began as a golf-focused retreat soon grew into a signature Club experience, with welcome and farewell dinners, optional golf outings, and plenty of time to enjoy the island at one’s own pace.

After a successful return in 2026, we are excited to return to the iconic Mauna Kea Beach Hotel for our 2027 program.

Nestled along the crescent-shaped white sands of Kauna‘oa Bay on Hawai‘i Island’s sunny Kohala Coast, Mauna Kea is celebrated for its timeless mid-century design, understated elegance, and legendary Hawaiian hospitality. It offers the ideal balance of relaxed luxury and natural beauty. A true paradise!

Trip Highlights:

- Enjoy the option to participate in two group golf outings
- Connect with friends at our welcome and farewell dinners (paid on-site)
- Choose from a range of accommodations—from peaceful Golf Vista rooms to stunning Ocean Front Deluxe rooms—reserved on a first-come basis during registration
 

Whether your perfect day includes a round of golf, snorkeling in the bay, reading in the shade of a palm tree, or simply savoring time with fellow members, this trip is designed for you to relax, explore, and experience aloha at your own pace.

We invite you to be part of this enduring Arlington Club tradition as we return to where it all began.

Optional pre- and post-nights may be arranged at our group rate, subject to availability, for those who wish to extend their stay and enjoy even more of the island’s magic. You can do this on the "add-on" screen upon check out, or InquisiTours can assist with all additional arrangements.

The Arlington Club room block is guaranteed for March 4–9, 2027 only.

Guests may request additional nights at the group rate for up to three days before or three days after the main program dates; however, these nights are not guaranteed and are subject to hotel availability at the time the request is reviewed.

If you would like to arrive early or extend your stay, please indicate your requested dates during registration. InquisiTours will submit your request to the hotel and confirm availability directly with you.

Please do not make airline arrangements based on requested pre- or post-stay dates until you have received confirmation from InquisiTours that the additional nights have been secured.

If your preferred room category is not available at the time of registration, please join the waitlist. InquisiTours will work directly with the hotel to review availability and will contact you if accommodations become available.

We strongly encourage all travelers to purchase travel insurance to protect your trip investment.

While InquisiTours does not sell insurance directly, we recommend looking into providers such as Travel Safe or Faye Travel Insurance for comprehensive policies.

For additional peace of mind, we also recommend MedJet Horizon for emergency medical evacuation and travel security coverage when traveling more than 150 miles from home.
