HAWAIIAN SEASCAPES
Kailua-Kona to Kahului, Maui

Aboard the Safari Explorer

Respecting Traditions
Throughout the experience, our yacht cruise will seek out an earlier Hawaii, of graceful cultural traditions and pristine natural beauty. We may invite local experts on board, to tell tales of Hawaiian royalty, or speak of the early navigators. We'll seek out private visits that embody the Hawaii Aloha Spirit. During tours ashore our transport is always exclusive, reserved for you and fellow yachtmates.

Whether afloat or ashore, all of these experiences are included in your yacht experience:

The Big Island - Volcanoes & Whales
We sail from Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii into prime whale-watching waters, cruising the dramatic coastline where Captain Cook once sailed. Enjoy a port call at historic Hilo. A highlight is an included helicopter tour. Soar above the lush tropical landscape to view several remote waterfalls, linger over the bright orange lava flows and view the steam clouds rising from Kilauea’s caldera.

Molokini - Underwater Paradise
We'll moor off of Molokini, an almost submerged volcanic crater off the coast of Maui. At this crescent-shaped crater, experience some of the very best snorkeling and scuba diving in the Hawaiian Islands.

Maui - Lahaina and Trails of History
Lahaina evokes singular charm and Hawaiian flavor while bustling with activity. An included excursion along the shores and into the hillsides reveals ancient Hawaiian lore. Reboard the Safari Explorer to cruise the waters off Maui, home to wintering humpback whales and their newborn calves.

Lana'i - The Private Island
On Lana'i, steep rock faces line many protected coves. Spend an unhurried afternoon snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving, sailing and hiking along the deserted rock walls of an early Hawaiian village.

Moloka'i - Adventure by Muleback
On Moloka'i, Hawaii's Most Traditional Island, an included adventure by foot or by muleback winds down a scenically spectacular mountain trail to Father Damien's 19th century isolated colony on the Kalaupapa Peninsula, now a National Historic Park.
