About this experience

Guided by those who know it best., weaving history, science, and tradition. Dolphins that have danced in these waters for generations, humpback whales navigating ancient migrations, seabirds carried by winds that once guided Polynesian wayfinders.

Beneath the surface, the connection between human and ocean deepens. A honu (green sea turtle) drifts past, ancient and unhurried, a silent guardian of these reefs, where guests participate in Citizen Science, ensuring that every journey leaves a positive imprint, aligning discovery with stewardship.

On the 34-foot power catamaran, the experience is as refined as it is immersive. Under the shade of the awning, the journey is unhurried, the moments unfiltered—whether capturing an Insta-worthy photograph as dolphins ride the bow or simply breathing in the salty breeze, this woman owned company delivers Hawai‘i as it was meant to be experienced. A place where luxury is defined not by opulence, but by the richness of the world it reveals.
