Because of the ability to access remote beaches and hideaway coves not usually visited, discovering Hawaii by small ship is something quite special. Expert guides will lead you as you visit secluded coves and enjoy pristine nature by foot, kayak, sailboat, or motor launch.
+ Program Overview
Hawaii by Small-Ship
Centuries ago, intrepid travelers, paddling outrigger canoes, followed the stars and the birds on a voyage across the sea to discover the new islands they called Hawaii. The enchanting natural beauty that greeted them is still evident today in the dramatic combination of fine white sand, sparkling turquoise ocean, lush rainforest, towering sea cliffs, and black-lava landscapes.
