Hawaiian Seascapes

Your inclusive exploration, aboard a 36-guest yacht, carries you among the islands of Moloka‘i, Lana‘i, Maui, and Hawai‘i. Cruise along shore and watch marine life gracefully leap around your skiff; “talk story” with locals; enjoy exclusivity; and spend time at play—kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, and snorkeling. Onboard, relax on deck, mingle in the lounge, or chat up the captain. Many of our crew members are from the islands—so they know its secrets and keep it authentic—and uncover the islands’ natural gifts in a way only accessible on an small ship cruise adventure. Immerse yourself in aloha, and experience the islands from a different perspective.

Hotel Moloka'i. From (169.00 USD)

Hotel Moloka'i, a genuine hideaway from all things mainstream, is located on the exotic beach of Kamiloloa and adjacent to Hawaii’s only barrier reef. You'll find a unique Polynesian village of bungalows replete with modern conveniences.

Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel. From (305.00 USD)

Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel Kona has defined Big Island luxury since its opening in 1994. As the second phase in Rockefeller's creation of Mauna Kea Resort, the hotel property shares 1,839 acres of oceanfront paradise with the legendary Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. Perfectly nestled into the bluffs above the #1-rated Hapuna Beach, the hotel presents a flowing, contemporary Hawaiian style where guests experience the true essence of rejuvenation. A predominant feature of Hapuna is the presence of a series of underground springs. In ancient times, during seasons of heavy rainfall these springs would bubble to the surface creating natural artesian fountains. The resultant streams would provide a source of respite and renewal for travelers along the otherwise dry and barren Kohala Coast. Thus the area was named "Hapuna" or "Spring of Life" in the Hawaiian language. Hotel features include 32 oceanfront acres, an 18-hole golf course, Hapuna Beach - a natural white sand beach, and a salon & spa.

Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. From (410.00 USD)

With a timeless tradition of aloha, the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel welcomes generations of guests to come and be inspired by the past, embraced by the moment, and enchanted by the warm days and exciting possibilities ahead. Guestrooms have crisp, clean lines, cloud white and bold sunset colors, along with the unchanged wow of wonderful views from the wide lanai. New, refined furnishings and fun finishing touches are subtly supported by hi-tech bells and whistles to produce a luxury guestroom experience that is ultra-high quality and ultimately comfortable.
