  • “Really Enjoyed the Trip Overall”

    We are not cruise-shippers, normally preferring independent travel, but this is a great way to get under the skin of Hawaiian culture and wildlife on several islands, and away from the crowds.

  • “It was like living in the ‘Blue Planet’ documentary”

    Snorkeling with all the sea creatures, seeing a dozen sharks off the stern at night going after a group of flying fish, seeing Blue-footed Boobies at all stages of growth up close, getting a feel for a unique ecology. No idea what could make it better.
