Hawaii's Traditional Shores

Experience traditional Hawaiian culture with expanded opportunities to meet the locals on their land and in their homes. Each evening the Safari Explorer sets anchior in a different harbor or inlet. Our flexible itinerary focuses on dipping into hideaway coves and inlets. Our small guest contingent have little impact on the islands, and our all-American crew includes Hawaii residents, especially Captains and Expedition Leaders/Naturalists who have personal knowledge of the islands.

During this 11 day/10 night Hawaii yacht cruise, you will see and experience the Maui County group of islands (Maui, Moloka'i, Lana'i) and the Big Island from a different perspective than that of a high-end resort or a big cruise ship.  Explore remote coves and shoreline by foot, kayak,paddle board, sailboat, mountain bike and motor launch. The warm, shallow waters provide one of the world’s most important habitats for humpback whales — two-thirds of the North Pacific population migrate to Hawaii each winter for breeding, calving and nursing.

Hawaiian Seascapes

During this weeklong Hawaii yacht cruise, you will see and experience the Maui County group of islands (Maui, Moloka'i, Lana'i) and the Big Island from a different perspective than that of a high-end resort or a big cruise ship.  Explore remote coves and shoreline by foot, kayak, paddle boarding, sailboat, mountain bike and motor launch.  The warm, shallow waters provide one of the world’s most important habitats for humpback whales — two-thirds of the North Pacific population migrate to Hawaii each winter for breeding, calving and nursing.

Our flexible itinerary focuses on dipping into hideaway coves and inlets, mostly staying on the leeward side of the eastern-most Hawaiian Islands chain (sheltered from the northerly winds and waves). Along the way, experience traditional Hawaiian culture with opportunities to meet the locals on their land and in their homes. Each evening, the yacht sets anchor in a different sheltered harbor or inlet. Our itineraries and small guest contingent have little impact on the islands, and our all-American crew includes Hawaii residents, especially Captains and Expedition Leaders/Naturalists who have personal knowledge of the islands.
