Manage episode 497402700 series 3652704
Aloha! πΊ If you've ever wanted to island-hop Hawaii by boat, but weren't sure how without finding yourself in "tourist traps" or one of thousands, our small ship cruise vacation in Hawaii is the answer.
In Part 1 of this two-part series, we're taking you on an incredible UnCruise adventure through Hawaii's untouched beauty, describing exactly what makes UnCruise's Hawaiian Seascapes itinerary so magical on a small ship with 36 passengers & all-American crew.
Uncover how to experience untouched Hawaii and its serene landscapes alongside us, day by day. Discover what it's like to snorkel with sea turtles, encounter playful spinner dolphins, and the thrill of navigating the breathtaking Humpback Whale Sanctuary near Maui as the ship's "captain."
We begin on Moloka'i and conclude on the Big Island, offering an intimate glimpse of the breathtaking sights & unique experiences that showcase Hawaii's true essence, far from the crowds of traditional cruising.
Here are additional resources that we touch on during this episode:
- See the incredible views from Deck 3 during happy hour on our last day onboard.
- This is the bathing suit dryer on deck 3.
- See βShark Fin,β a snorkeling location, on the UnCruise Hawaii Seascapes map.
- We never leave home for a trip spotting wildlife without our incredible binoculars.
- The Whale Entanglement Organization does vital work to save whales.
- Book a Manta Ray tour, which we touch on during this episode.
