American Safari Cruises to Launch Hawaiian Voyages in 2011

Starting in November 2011, there will be a new way to discover the Hawaiian Islands aboard the 36-passenger Safari Explorer from American Safari Cruises.

This is the first time unstructured inter-island yacht itineraries are being offered here. The ship's captain and naturalist will have the ability to customize each seven-night voyage to the desires of the passengers, meaning that the ports of call can be remote coves, inlets, and bays that you'll explore via kayak, skiff, or on foot.

Safari Explorer will mostly stick to the leeward side of the eastern-most islands to avoid rocky seas. Marine life and Hawaiian culture will be explored, led by an all-American crew (several of which are residents of Hawaii).

You can book American Safari adventures by the cabin or charter the entire yacht. The inaugural Hawaiian season begins on November 12, 2011 and lasts through May 12, 2012.

For more information, talk with your travel agent or American Safari Cruises at 1-(888) 862-8881.
