Description
** Note: Cruise rescheduled for 8:30pm departure on 6/4 only **
Experience the enchantment of Maui's velvet night sky on this stargazing cruise with Pacific Whale Foundation Eco-Adventures. Here in Hawaii, the most remote island chain in the world, you'll experience brilliant stars from an optimal vantage point. This cruise is narrated by special guest Harriett Witt, an international award winning astronomy writer and speaker, known for her entertaining and informative commentary on the stars. Her writing has been featured in publications such as Sky & Telescope, and Spirit of Aloha. During winter (December through April), we'll lower a hydrophone into the sea, so you can listen to the haunting and mysterious songs of humpback whales in the ocean around us.
