Transformative experience bringing new meaning to Aloha. Every person on the boats embodies Aloha and the exceptional value of carrying on the traditions and knowledge of their ancestors. The cruise was spot on. The perfect balance of learning about Hawaii and enjoying the raw beauty this magical land has to offer....from sea turtles right out of the harbor, whales on the horizon, making poi, listening to the sweet slack key guitar, drinking fresh coconut water, and last eating a delicious plate of traditional food. That is only half the fun. Then there was the heartfelt words that described the meaning and importance of traditional lei making hula, and music. So much better than a booze cruise. and the Cherry on top....some of the profits from these trips help support getting the Keiki (children) of Hawaii out on the water and learning about their culture and traditions.
