Pirates of the Caribbean – On Stranger Tides – All Access Arial Pass to the filming locations in Kauai

Hey Pirates of the Caribbean fans!! the new installment in the series opens tomorrow, June 20th, 2011 at theaters worldwide :0)

The staff of Island Breeze Travel will be one of the first in line to see the movie but we also wanted to put a bit of information out to some of you who might be considering a trip to the islands of Hawaii. Many of the scenes were filmed in various locations on Oahu and Kauai. Farther down in the post, we outline our recommendations for a trip to Kauai and an excursion that will give you VIP viewing of some of the popular filming locations with some of the most awe-inspiring backdrops on the face of the planet.

But first, a bit about the new movie, Pirates of the Caribbean, On Stranger Tides.

Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp) crosses paths with a woman from his past (Cruz), and he's not sure if it's love -- or if she's a ruthless con artist who's using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.

The official On Stranger Tides trailer promises all the usual Pirates of the Caribbean fare, sword-fighting, and sharp wit. Geoffrey Rush as Capt. Hector Barbossa, Depp’s Keith Richards-esque portrayal of Capt. Jack Sparrow, and some new elements. Among the new additions—mermaids, zombies, 3D effects, a love interest played by Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane as the legendary pirate Blackbeard and lots of Hawaii scenery.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides opens in theaters nationwide on May 20, 2011.
