Overview
The magic of kai (ocean) begins in Vancouver, a tomorrow-city that is equal parts India, China, England, France and the Pacific Northwest. As the sun begins to set, we follow golden rays West into a horizon vast and endless.
With 5 days sailing, we luxuriate on EXPLORA I, where there are no deadlines, but only time measured by yoga at...read more sunrise, a pool-side cabana at noon, cocktails at sunset and dancing under a celestial moon.
When the sun is high, we see the first glimpse of Hawai'i, which is the proper name of the Big Island. You can almost see Pele, the volcano goddess and creator of the islands, sitting in her heaven in Hilo. An island of five volcanoes, deep canyons, plummeting waterfalls all harken to sites that haven't changed in a millennium.
Take a cardio-hike through Volcano National Park. Walk to Akaka Falls that plummets some 422 feet (128 meters) to spring forth a multitude of misty rainbows. Or hop a helicopter to hover active Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanos.
Tip: leave Hilo only with a frangipani flower tucked behind your ear and drop the lava rocks, for legend has it that if you take one of Pele's stone babies, it will cause you seven years of bad luck.
Good tidings continue for us on Oahu, where Honolulu welcomes us with its wide Waikiki Beach. Imagine chauffeured shopping safaris or champagne toasts atop Diamond Head.
Enjoy a private tour of Pearl Harbor and the Punchbowl Crater that cradles the National Memorial Cemetery. Linger longer to attend a traditional Hawaiian Luau or venture to the dreamy North Shore and watch champion surfers go tubular epic waves.
