Your cruise was one of the highlights of our trip. The staff on the Hoku Nai’a are wonderful, and we especially enjoyed hearing about some of the local legends the members of the crew heard while they were growing up.” - W. Van Vorhis More... |

Schools that have participated in the past:Kamaile Elementary “It linked our Science Standards with a real wildlife observation of the marine life off of the Waianae Coast, where all of the children live. There would have been no other way for the students to afford this meaningful experience. This provided our students with memorable / valuable background knowledge.” (Clarence DeLude, 10/8/08) Myron B Thompson “My students were able to see dolphins in their natural habitat, not just read about them in their textbooks. They were all excited and any time you can get students excited about anything involving science is a teacher’s dream come true. I even had one student say he would like to get a job one day studying marine life.” (Courtney Doi, 9/23/08) |
