    Hawaii may be your default tropical getaway, but if you thought that shallow-water snorkeling trip was cool, you ain't seen nothing yet! Think outside the box and consider the Maldives for your next island adventure and explore the mass of tiny tropical islands in the coolest way possible aboard the Four Seasons Explorer. Starting at the resort's headquarters, Kuda Huraa, the three-deck catamaran takes you on an exotic tour of the most remote diving and snorkeling sites that are bound to fascinate divers of all levels! The 22-passenger limit and high-end accommodations (including an onboard bar, of course!) give the cruise a relaxing privacy, and there are plenty of activities to enjoy for both luxury-loving sunbathers and adventurous divers alike! Prone to seasickness? Don't fret -- you can choose between a three, four or seven day cruise, then spend the rest of your vacay soaking up the sun back on shore (but don't take too long deciding -- it's best to go between December and April for maximum daily sunlight)! And make sure you bring an underwater camera in case you stumble upon a whale shark! Look at the slideshow for a peek at what you can look forward to onboard the Explorer!
