InnerSea Discoveries to Add Expedition Vessel in Hawaii
June 21, 2012

InnerSea Discoveries will add an expedition vessel, the 76-guest Wilderness Explorer, to its Hawaii program in late 2013. It will join the 36-guest upscale yacht Safari Explorer.

From November 2013 through April 2014, the Wilderness Explorer will sail seven-night cruises between Oahu and the Big Island. The itinerary includes visits to Ka’ena Point State Park, Wai’anae Harbor, Maui, Lanai, Honomalino Bay, Opihihali and Kailua-Kona.

The ship will also search for whales and dolphins in the Humpback National Marine Sanctuary. Cruise fares on the Wilderness Explorer start at $2,495 based on double occupancy.

“We are sending the Wilderness Explorer to Hawaii to add another option for travelers seeking an active island adventure at a moderate price,” said Tim Jacox, executive vice president of sales and marketing. “It’s a tremendous value when you add in all the included activities and the ability to explore multiple scenic islands.”

Highlights of the new itinerary include snorkeling at Molokini’s undersea volcanic crater, a night snorkel with Giant Pacific Manta Rays, watching whales and dolphins, and guided hikes on all four islands. Expert naturalists provide interpretation on guided excursions ashore and at sea.

The Wilderness Explorer has a swim platform for access to water sports equipment and entry into the water. A kayak launch platform can launch four kayaks at once. Included water sports activities are kayaking, snorkeling, stand-up paddle boarding, skiff explorations and swimming.

Guests can also take a spin on the human-powered watercraft powered by two peddlers and up to six paddlers.

Onboard, a wellness program includes a sauna, fitness equipment, complimentary yoga on deck and massages for a fee. Cabins feature a flat-screen TV/DVD player, iPod dock and eco-friendly bath amenities. In the lounge, guests will find a selection of games and a library of books and DVDs.

The luxury Safari Explorer sails seven-night cruises between Hawaii, the Big Island and Lanai with two days of activities on Molokai. Guests making a new reservation on the yacht by Sept. 30 receive a $500 travel credit per couple for cruises from November through April 2013.
