Say "Aloha" to adventure as you embark on your Hawaiian cruise. These volcanic islands have earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the most beautiful destinations, perfect for romantic getaways, family vacations, or thrill-seeking explorers. Right in the heart of the Pacific, these idyllic islands were formed over millennia by volcanoes. On a Hawaiian vacation, you can expect to snorkel among tropical fish, sea turtles, and giant manta rays, learn about the rich Polynesian culture, kayak and paddleboard in the turquoise waters, and explore the land-based natural and historic gems that this archipelago has to offer.

For many people, a trip to Hawaii is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so you have to make it count. A Hawaiian cruise is a great way to pack in all of the adventure, activities, and beautiful visitor sites into one comprehensive trip. Your tropical adventure won't be complete without stops at:
Moloka'i - Experience the warm hospitality of the "Friendly Island," as the natives enthusiastically welcome you and treat you to authentic Hawaiian music and cuisine.
Lana'i Island - Here, the remnants of an extinct volcano form the perfect spot to snorkel and paddleboard among some of the most diverse marine life.
Maui - See the coral gardens and the grazing sea turtles at Olowalu.
Kailua-Kona - Get to know this historic town and Kealakekua Bay, where Captain Cook anchored in the 18th century.

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
