Ocean Rafting

We took the 4 hour expedition. It was a really nice day outside with the sun shining and the water being pretty calm. We went into a sea cave, which was an interesting experience. We saw some really beautiful scenery along the Na Pali Coast. We were able to see a lot while we were snorkeling. The crew definitely enjoys doing this, and it shows.

Hawaiian Fishing Trip

We went on the full day charter. The captain and crew really knew what they were doing, because we caught a variety of fish. It is quite an experience when you are reeling in a fish that weighs over 40lbs. It was a rewarding experience to fight with a fish and eventually get it aboard the ship. We were on the Boom Boom II, which was a really beautiful boat. When you felt like you were getting sun burnt, you could go into the cabin and relax in the shade, which probably saved a few of us from getting burnt.

What an Incredible Birds-Eye-View!

We did the Hana/Haleakala flight. We felt like we were on our way to Jurassic Park while we were flying over Hana. The whole flight was just non-stop jaw dropping beauty all around you. When we made the transition to Haleakala it was like we were flying over Mars. We had taken tours of Hana and Haleakala, but is truly a different experience when you see it from the sky.

Majestic

Seeing these majestic creatures is an amazing experience. These whales really give you a sense of how small you are in the world. Whales are truly the gentle giants of the ocean, and you can watch how gracefully they maneuver through the ocean. The naturalist on-board was very informative and did a great job of spotting whales for us.

Snorkeling Adventure

We did the morning snorkel. The water was really calm where we went, and the sun was out and shining. The visibility in the water was really good, which allowed us to view all of beautiful tropical fish. I could not believe the diversity in the amount of fish we snorkeled with that day. The boat only takes out a maximum of 14 passengers, so that is a major advantage over some of the boats that take out 30 or more passengers.

Rainforest Excursion

It was such a beautiful experience to walk through a lush tropical rain forest. The hike was not strenuous, which allowed me to take in all of the beautiful sights and sounds of the rain forest. The waterfall was definitely the highlight of the hike. This is where we took a break and had plenty of photo opportunities. The pictures we took were so beautiful they could probably be used for a post card picture.

Playful Dolphins

Our dolphin watching cruise was amazing! We were able to see many different dolphins interact with each other. You can't help but smile when you watch dolphins playing around in the water. It was also nice to know that these dolphins are in their natural habitat, and not in some water tank performing tricks for fish. The glass bottom viewing area was a unique way to get a glimpse of an underwater world. We could see gorgeous tropical fish and stunning coral reef.

A Romantic Evening

Setting sail into a Hawaiian sunset is like something out of a movie. For couples in Hawaii, this is an absolute must do cruise. The colors in the sunset were so beautiful. I have never witnessed shades of orange, pink, and red in a sunset like I did that evening. What a truly unforgettable evening.

Snorkeling In A Crater!

We sailed to Molokini Crater. The crater was filled with an abundance of beautiful tropical fish. It makes sense that this is a popular snorkeling destination, because it is just full of a variety of fish. I saw fish there that I did not see when snorkeling near the shores of my hotel. The catamaran was also very nice and the crew seemed to be enjoying what they were doing. Being able to rinse off with a fresh water shower was an added bonus to this trip.

Great Diving Experience

I went on the two-tank dive with gear. This was a really convenient way for me to dive while visiting Hawaii. Maui has some spectacular dive sites, and Mike Severns Diving takes you to some really great spots. I'm really glad that we dove into Molokini Crater. The crater has such an incredible amount of marine life. While diving I saw many different beautiful tropical fish, an octopus, an eel, a Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle, and stunningly beautiful coral reef.
