Local expert tips

• Bring a swimsuit, towel, and a change of clothes if you plan to snorkel. There are onboard showers and changing rooms for your comfort.
• Reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are recommended to protect you from the afternoon sun.
• You will want to bring a light jacket, sweater, or hoodie since it can get chilly once the sun begins to set.
• Let your crew know if it’s a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary. They love helping guests celebrate onboard.
• From December through March, it's whale watching season in Hawaii. Keep your eyes on the horizon for humpback whales breaching and slapping their fins as they migrate through the islands.
