Safari Explore

One of the smallest expedition vessels operating in Hawaiian waters, the Safari Explorer is purpose-built for performance and intimacy, reaching wild coastlines and remote bays that larger ships simply can’t access. With space for just 36 guests, it offers a rare, low-impact way to explore the islands.

Designed for adventure, the vessel carries all the equipment you need – from kayaks and snorkelling gear to inflatable skiffs – ready for use as each day’s explorations unfold. When you’re in the mood for something quieter, settle into the sun lounge with a signature drink for a spot of whale-watching, or unwind in one of the relaxed indoor common areas.

Cabins on the Safari Explorer are simple yet comfortable, each with large windows, private bathrooms and modern essentials. Some of the top categories even feature en-suite Jacuzzis, perfect for easing into the evening.

Across the ship you’ll also find a bow-side viewing deck, a small salon, library, bar and open-seating dining room. Each evening, expert guides host relaxed briefings that round off the day and set the tone for an engaging, off-script island adventure.

About UnCruise

UnCruise offer something truly different from our other cruise partners: small-ship expedition cruising with a wild heart and an adventurous edge. Its nimble fleet – yachts and expedition vessels carrying between 22 and 86 guests – slips into secluded bays and channels that larger ships can’t reach, from the icy fjords of Alaska to the untouched corners of the Pacific Northwest.

Each day is built around immersive exploration. Guided hikes, kayaking, paddleboarding and wildlife watching are all included, as are premium drinks and chef-prepared meals showcasing regional ingredients. Morning briefings set the tone, while evenings often end with storytelling by the fire or stargazing from deck. Cabins are compact but considered, with large windows and practical comforts.

There’s no Wi-Fi in the wilderness – but when you’re spotting whales off the bow or watching bears onshore, you won’t miss it. A multi-award-winning cruise line, UnCruise consistently earns recognition for its authenticity, environmental ethos and attention to detail. For those who seek genuine, off-the-grid discovery without compromising on hospitality, this is expedition travel at its most intimate.
