7 Night Cruise sailing from Moloka'i to Hawaii aboard Safari Explorer.

DAY 1 Molokai Embarkation
Welcome to Hawaii! The captain and crew greet you with smiles and champagne as you board the awaiting Safari Explorer. This evening, settle in and enjoy dinner aboard the yacht, before a presentation about your week ahead. (D)

DAY 2 Molokai
A warm aloha spirit gives you a sense of Hawaii long ago. No stop lights, no high-rises, just a welcome slower pace. “Talk story” with locals and experience their land and traditions as few visitors do. You’ll hear legends and lore, then take in a cultural lesson in taro patches and poi making, or hike to a towering waterfall in Halawa’s cathedral valley—one of the island’s most historic places. At the Molokai Museum, discover the history of this ancient homeland as you enjoy an evening pa‘ina (feast), complete with a home-style Hawaiian jam session. (BLD)

DAY 3 Lana'i
Gear up for a day of play on the “Private Island.” Thousand-foot sea cliffs line the shore and ancient volcanic plugs sit both above and below the water’s surface as host to a wide diversity of marine life. Suit your fancy and the weather - explore Lanai village, snorkel, or take a bike excursion. (BLD)

DAY 4 Maui
Today we may snorkel among coral gardens teeming with underwater life and a known sea turtle habitat. The Humpback National Marine Sanctuary located between Lana’i, Molokai, and Maui provides front-row seats as you cruise through these productive breeding grounds searching for dolphins, whales, and other marine life. Look above and below the surface. (BLD)
 
DAY 5 Maui - Lahaina Town
Choose your own adventure - explore Lahaina Town, with its historic buildings, art galleries, and oceanside boardwalk. Perhaps take a surfing lesson? From the boat, take out kayaks or snorkel gear. Enjoy your adventures and come home with stories to swap over dinner. (BLD)
 
DAY 6 Kona Coast & Manta Ray Snorkel
Snorkel, kayak, or swim - From the tiniest fish to the widest stretch of coral, it’s all spectacular. Depending on weather and your mood, spend the day in the water or let us do the work, and explore the rugged coastline on a skiff ride. This evening you'll anchor at an offshore location to search for and night snorkel with Giant Pacific Manta rays. This award-winning excursion offers snorkelers the opportunity to observe these majestic animals up close and personal. Marine life is often within inches, offering a unique experience with wild animals in their environment. Strict guidelines are followed to lessen any disturbance of these beautiful creatures. (BLD) 
 
DAY 7 Big Island
This morning, Join us on a rocky hike up the cool and misty slopes of Hualālai Volcano. Explore our private trail at 6,500ft above the Kona coast with your own naturalist guide. Cross surreal scenes of black lava flows, pass pit craters, and stroll through native dryland forest. You’ll discover a lava tube and learn how lava flows from the early 19th century re-shaped the coastline below you. Enjoy magnificent vistas and walk amidst stunning lava formations in a forest of native birdsong. 

For your final afternoon, relax onboard or go for one last dip. This evening celebrate with the Captain’s Dinner and photographic recap of your adventure. (BLD)

 DAY 8 Kona Disembarkation
As the Safari Explorer docks at the Kailua - Kona Pier, you’ll disembark. (B)
