Welcome to Hawaii! You'll be transferred to a hospitality area on Molokai. Later, the captain and crew of your ship will warmly welcome you with smiles and champagne as you board the Safari Explorer. This evening, settle in and enjoy dinner on the ship, followed by a presentation about the exciting week ahead.

Experience the warm aloha spirit that gives you a sense of Hawaii from long ago. With no traffic lights or high-rises, you can embrace a slower pace. Engage with locals and immerse yourself in their land and traditions in ways few visitors do. You'll hear legends and lore, learn about 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, uncover the history of this ancient homeland while enjoying an evening pa‘ina (feast), complete with a home-style Hawaiian jam session.

Prepare for a day of adventure on the “Private Island.” Thousand-foot sea cliffs border the shore, and ancient volcanic plugs, both above and below the water, host diverse marine life. Depending on your preference and the weather, you can explore Lanai village, snorkel, or embark on a bike excursion.

Today, you can snorkel among coral gardens brimming with underwater life and a known sea turtle habitat. The Humpback National Marine Sanctuary between Lana’i, Molokai, and Maui offers a prime location to observe dolphins, whales, and other marine creatures in their breeding grounds. Keep your eyes peeled both above and below the surface as you cruise through this vibrant marine environment.

Embark on an unforgettable journey through Hawaii's captivating seascapes. Your day might include a kayaking adventure along Maui's hidden coves, paddling through turquoise waters and discovering the untouched beauty of its coastline. Transition to Lana'i, where kayaking takes you to remote areas nestled between the cerulean ocean and lush greenery. Cruise along Moloka'i's dramatic northern cliffs, witnessing awe-inspiring vistas of soaring precipices and the occasional frolicking dolphin. As the day unfolds, enjoy spotting marine life and charismatic sea creatures from the top deck, enjoying signature drinks while expert naturalist guides introduce you to the rich marine and bird species that inhabit these waters. 

Recent fires have affected this area, so UnCruise has adjusted daily operations to provide the best options for guests.

Snorkel, kayak, or swim—the underwater world is spectacular, from the tiniest fish to the vast stretches of coral. Depending on the weather and your mood, spend the day in the water or explore the rugged coastline on a skiff ride. This evening, anchor offshore to search for a night snorkel with Giant Pacific Manta rays. This award-winning excursion lets you observe these majestic animals up close. Marine life often comes within inches, offering a unique experience with wild creatures in their natural habitat. Your expedition team follows strict guidelines to minimise disturbing these beautiful creatures.

This morning, join a rugged hike up the cool and misty slopes of Hualālai Volcano. Explore a private trail 6,500 ft above the Kona coast with your naturalist guide. Traverse surreal scenes of black lava flows, pass by pit craters, and meander through native dryland forests. Discover a lava tube and learn how lava flows from the early 19th century reshaped the coastline below. Enjoy breathtaking vistas and immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere amidst stunning lava formations and native bird calls.

For your final afternoon, unwind onboard or take a final swim. Celebrate with the Captain’s Dinner this evening and enjoy a photographic recap of your unforgettable adventure.

Upon docking at the Kailua-Kona Pier, you will disembark Safari Explorer and be transferred to Kona Airport.
