Ship Report - UnCruise Safari Explorer
My ship report from my experience onboard the UnCruise Safari Explorer. UnCruise Adventures is a unique cruise line offering 9 small ships to explore places like Hawaii, Alaska, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Galapagos. Small ships offer big adventures and take you places the big ships cannot.

Trip Report - UnCruise Adventures Hawaiian SeaScapes
I wanted to celebrate turning 50 in our 50th state and I thought the best way to see Hawaii was by boat. I chose UnCruise's Hawaiian Seascapes cruise and it was an immersive, amazing adventure! We snorkeled with dolphins and turtles and got to see a mother and calf humpback. We also kayaked, hiked, biked, and soaked in the Hawaiian culture.
