Get away from the usual - and closer to adventure — explore the less traveled waters in Hawaii with small-ship cruising
Kai Akea - the vastness of the ocean - Nearly two thousand years ago the first Polynesian canoe entered quiet bays and landed upon the sands of Hawaii. Hawaii's many forms of living beauty offers unique gems to those willing to seek them out respectfully. Carefully selected sites are based not only on their bounty of wildlife but also on their geographical, cultural and/or historical significance. Life didn't begin in Hawaii, it was just perfected here.
For more information on life onboard, see our Small-Ship Cruising "Untamed" Webpage. The goal of our six-passenger SeaEscapes (on a boat built for 22!) is simply to bring together people with common passions, to ignite creativity, to increase everyone’s knowledge of and aloha for the underwater (and unique above water!) world, and to send everyone home refreshed, rejuvenated , and with more awareness of the fragility of Hawaii's ecosystems than when they arrived.

Our answer to all those energy drinks on the market, isn’t it time to slow down, stop being a rock star and reduce those monster-sized caffeinated, taurine-infused jitters?
Wean off texting, Facebook, and other mind numbing and butt spreading activities for four days (we won't remind you there is Wi-Fi onboard). Intoxicating scenery, yoga sessions and incorporated thru the day and on into the water (no balance needed): nourishing tasty meals - fit for a Yogi.
Yoga iis a great way to get in shape (and naturally increase energy) — both physically and mentally — no matter what your age or ability. Alexa will match intensity levels to each individual. Just one easy yoga workout can start to lower levels of cortisol, a hormone linked both to stress and weight gain. Continue breathing techniques you have learned onboard to get you through stressful or no-energy times aheadt.
Connect with your "inner dolphin" in marine wildlife intensive areas. Hawaii serves as an oasis to multiple species of oceanic whales, dolphins, turtles; and coral reef ecosystems for exploration, to honor, and to become as one alongside of. Give back, as a portion of all proceeds are donated to the Wild Dolphin Foundation.
