Into the Blue
Get away from the usual and closer to adventure — explore the waters less traveled - Full and Multiple Day, Live-Aboard Wildlife Adventures
Connect with your "inner-sea-creature" in an enriching getaway. It's the balm.
A remarkable glimpse at parts of the islands that can't be accessed any other way; to be in the midst of both common and unique species of dolphins, whales, turtles, seabirds and other exceptional marine life - Hawaii coastal waters serve as a wildlife and cultural oasis, small ship cruising experienced with a flexible itinerary taking you to places that passengers on large cruise ships can only dream of. No two trips are exactly the same and that is part of the Trekker mystique.
Relaxed snorkeling in sheltered bays, home to vibrant tropical reef fish, many 
of which are endemic to Hawaii - found nowhere else in the world, some that given their current status, may never be seen again. Guidance on nature observation will open your eyes to *see* what is in front of us. How can unseen animals leave "footprint" tracks on top of the water?
In what we like to call sight-doing, you're invited to participate “hands-on” in marine wildlife surveys and photo-identifications in under-studied wildlife areas. Information gathered is passed on to research organizations and policy/decision makers.
Unique access to exploration of remote waters and island shores. To ensure conservation and retain limited impact to wildlife, we don't post or "advertise" specific locations.
Well-appointed cabins with individual a/c, just the right balance of simplicity and comfort, thoughtfully prepared. A true haven from the chaos of every day life.
Time available for individual discoveries, sight-sea-ing, or just nurture in nature, while camaraderie prevails if wanting to add human interaction to the mix.
Nautilus' twin diesel engines provide a smooth superior ride. She looks beautiful on the outside, all the comforts of home on the inside, while outfitted to be a learning laboratory; air conditioning, stereo system, television, Flat-screen TV w/ DVD, Satellite Phone, TV and internet access, full kitchen, private or shared bunks, entertainment/education/matted workout of yoga area w/ smoothie/juice/liquor bar.
