Hawai\'i Big Island: Environmental Conservation, Cultural Preservation, and Snorkeling Tour

  • Christmas & New Year

Hawai'i Big Island: Environmental Conservation, Cultural Preservation, and Snorkeling

My trip to Hawai'i with GIVE was nothing short of INCREDIBLE! The guides, the volunteers, the community partners, the accommodations, the food, the forests, the beaches, everything. Everything was thought out and planned out. From the food we ate to support local restaurants, to the language lessons, to the stories about the native land and plants. There wasn't a moment that we weren't having fun or playing like kids or working hard. I will never forget about this trip, ever. It's engrained in my heart forever.

Honolulu Hawaii Experience 7D/6N

I had a great time in Honolulu. The accommodation was good, rooms were basic but clean. The 4 day trips (mornings, latest return was 2.30pm) were really good, although some left pretty early which meant missing the included breakfast (good pancakes but no other options) 3 out of 6 days. Also worth noting that the Ocean Voyage tour at Kualoa Ranch (beautiful place and really good!) pick up was at 7.15am at a hotel 40mins walk away at the other end of town, then bus back wasn't til 1pm. Long day for a 45min boat ride so might be worth looking into other activities there too. Overall everything went according to plan and I had a great time, but as expected this would be a good bit cheaper to book everything yourself.

TOP-RATED HAWAIIAN ACTIVITY SPECIALISTS

Absolutely awesome! Guides were knowledgeable courteous and extremely fun. We got to see vistas that are off the beaten track, learned about history of the island, as well as local culture. Highly recommend and worth every penny.

I booked our ziplining adventure through Hawaii Adventure Center. The customer service was excellent and I would definitely use them again!

The sugar cane tubing is excellent! Clean, professional, and easy for anyone to do. Plenty of staff, Kaili was our guide and comedian for the trip - she was awesome! Would do it again in a heartbeat and recommend them to everyone!!!

Dionne provided wonderful service throughout our entire experience. We had some changes along the way and she was extremely flexible with working with us and providing solutions. Every family traveling to Kauai must do this expedition!! Thank you so much for the superior service and we can’t wait until our next trip!

The tour was amazing. The pilot was wonderful and flew into many of the culverts, canyons, and near the waterfalls. The stop at Manawaiopuna Falls was stunning and the pilot was very helpful at helping us take pictures. He was also very knowledgeable on history of the area and landscape. Well worth it!

Recently used Hawaii Adventure Center to arrange a day excursion with round trip transportation. It was easy, convenient and went very well. They checked in a few times and confirmed all arrangements. We traveled a distance and wasn't very familiar with area. I was very pleased with service and friendliness of everyone we dealt with.

About Mahina Hawaii in O'ahu

Experience hawaii adventures from a local’s perspective..

At Mahina Hawaii, we avoid giving people the average tours in Hawaii. We strive to offer a personalized experience that feels more like you’re hanging out with a good friend, instead of feeling like you’re on a tour.

We take our guests to some of the most beautiful and lesser-known spots on Oahu to experience waterfall hikes, cliff jumping, snorkeling, turtles and other wildlife encounters, while sharing our local knowledge with you. Hawai’i is a very special place, and we are thrilled to take you out on an epic adventure day with us!

Hawai’i has a very fragile ecosystem here in Hawaii. It is important that you don’t walk on the reefs, wear reef safe sunscreen (read our blog about sunscreens), keep a good distance from turtles and monk seals, and make sure you leave every place cleaner than you found it. You may notice your guide picking up trash at beaches and hikes. That is to ensure that rubbish doesn’t end up in our oceans, and to leave the area cleaner for the next people to enjoy. We encourage you to do the same while you are here in Hawai’i. Mahalo nui loa.

700 5-Star Reviews of our Hawaiian Adventures and Counting...

Had the most amazing time! Ryan who took us to all the places we wanted to go and all the local hotspots! We went Paddleboarding, snorkeling, hiking, cliff jumping and swam under secluded waterfalls. Ryan was super friendly and made sure we got the most of both days. Super easy to book especially with short notice, would recommend as a must do for anyone traveling to Oahu to get the most out of your trip!

Five stars all the way! All eight of us had a great time with Ryan. He had a perfect day planned and executed a few extras along the way. Snorkeling was fantastic! The whole family explored some really cool waters. Found turtles, an eel and a large octopus. Turtle swam right between jay and Jessica. Ryan was super knowledgeable and prepared. I highly recommend using him. We loved it and will be back.

Normally I'm not that into writing reviews, but this was such an amazing time that I had to. We did the full day excursion and got to snorkel, kayak, hike, and see some cool sites around the island. Ryan was incredibly helpful and took us to some great spots that were out of this world. I really could not recommend this service enough.

DEFINITELY BOOK THIS. My boyfriend and I really wanted to see/do all that we could in our short time visiting. Hanging out with Ryan for the day was a treat! It’s like hanging out with an old time friend. Absolutely worth the time and money. Do not bother booking with a bunch of other big companies to do hikes, snorkeling, tours, etc. This family company combines all that into an honestly awesome day of adventure. We would’ve never been able to see the breathtaking views we did without him.

We had such a great day with Ryan (owner Ryan). He planned a great day of snorkeling, SUP boarding, and hiking. His love of his home state and nature made it such a fun experience! Ryan had everything covered, from equipment to snacks! He was great with my teens and made sure they were safe and we were all able to enjoy of great day! I wish I was staying longer so I could book another private tour. This is a must!!!!

I did the personalized full day adventure and than stayed at the B&B afterwards. Each was a phenomenal experience. The tour was specifically catered to my interests and level of competence at the different activities. As the day progressed we tweaked our itinerary to include or spend more time on certain things if I liked, or choose to go on to something more low key. It was far from any generic experience, instead, everything felt like I was just hanging out with my buddies.

Our day was amazing. More then we could of asked for. We spent the day surfing, sup, eating local and jumping off cliffs. We had done other tours the days prior and now wish we just waited as this trumped the others. Ryan was our personal photographer and made sure we got the best angles. Can't recommend these guys enough.

Tour Highlights:

  • Exclusive Kahala Avenue is known as “Hawai’i’s Beverly Hills”, and you’ll view the stunning multi-million-dollar properties in this affluent community while we travel toward the South Shore sea cliffs area.
  • Halona Blowhole acts like an ocean-driver geyser as the ocean breezes push waves into the cave below and a hole in the rock formation shoots sea spray jets high into the air. Accessibility to the overlook is dependent upon parking congestion situation at this popular stop. 
  • Nu’uanu Pali Lookout is the location of the 1795 battle in which King Kamehameha I victoriously united Oahu under his rule. The epic battle claimed the lives of hundreds of warriors forced over the Pali’s sheer cliffs. At 1,200 feet above the green and blue views of Windward Oahu, the Pali Lookout is one of Oahu’s most breathtaking scenic points.
  • Byodo-In Temple  is a stunning replica of a temple in Uji, Japan, Byodo-In. It is nestled in the Valley of the Temples on the slopes of the Ko’olau Mountain Range. Byodo-In commemorates the first Japanese immigrants in Hawai’i and was constructed entirely without nails. Its beautiful peacocks and hundreds of Japanese Koi contribute to one of the most peaceful and picturesque locations on the island. 
  • Waimea Valley , is an area steeped in historic, cultural and spiritual significance.  Located on the North Shore of Oahu it is a place you won’t soon forget.  Soak in the magic of the valley and be in the quiet of nature surrounded by beautiful flowers, rare plants, cultural sites, and a delightful waterfall for swimming (weather-permitting). 
  • Mokoli’i or “little lizard” in Hawaiian, an islet sits offshore in Kaneohe Bay. Mokoli’i will be viewed near Kualoa as your tour vehicle winds its way along the scenic coastline.
  • North Shore  Surfing Breaks , including world famous Sunset, Waimea Bay, and others, are viewed from your tour vehicle as it crosses the island’s big wave territory. The region is known for its fabulously large wintertime waves and international surfing competitions.
  • Historic Haleiwa Town , with its preserved old plantation character and surf town image, makes its shops and restaurants popular among visitors and Oahu residents. It’s the gateway to the North Shore for those arriving from Honolulu and is the area’s largest commercial center.
  • Dole Plantation  is “Hawai’i’s Complete Pineapple Experience.” Learn, see, and taste the fruit that is part of the island’s heritage and enjoyed throughout the world. Walk through Dole’s country store where delicious ice-cold Dole Whip treats are available. The quintessential brief and final stop before heading back to Waikiki.

Middle of the Pacific and the centre of excitement

Hawaii might be a part of the USA, but the scenery, vibe, history, and culture on these stunning islands make the 50th state seem like a distant cousin a couple times removed. Sail into the setting sun along Waikiki Beach, walk on an active volcano, join a traditional luau in Maui, and enjoy beach time in, well, all over. There’s no wonder Hawaii is the backdrop for paradise in the movies – the islands don’t have to act the part of “jaw-dropping oasis”, they’re naturals.

EXPERIENCE THRILLING ADVENTURES IN HONOLULU, HAWAII! ★★★★★

We were having a great Winter visit in Hawaii and decided to go here. Winter is definitely the best time to visit Wet n Wild. Pretty much no queues with all rides available. We splurged for the premium deluxe package which included transport, entry, a very good lunch, locker and a good take home towel. There were quite a few locals and plenty of staff, but it wasn't crowded so you could ride whatever you wanted as often as you wanted. You can't bring in food or beverages (except water) but that's fine, there is food available if you don't do the package. We had a lot of fun and it was one of the highlights to our Hawaii visit, much to our surprise.

Wonderful experience! All workers were very professional and I felt safe the entire time. Kim and Ethan were AWESOME tour guides, interacting the entire time, giving good tips, and history of the area! Would recommend for sure! This was my first time ever zip lining-was a bucket list item for me. Would go again with this company in a heartbeat!

Took my two boys (age 11 & 15) to the waterpark last week. Had read the reviews and was a bit skeptical. Park was great! We had a fantastic time. Rides all opened (some staggered) but hardly any wait. Staff friendly. Water clean and clear. Food ok - chips, burgers etc usual for theme parks. Would definitely recommend spending a few hours here with the kids!

Was AMAZING for my daughter's 6th birthday! The guides HOLLY and OLIVIA were incredibly kind, patient and gentle with her and we had a PERFECT tour! I was very nervous about taking her for the first time but she was so excited I had to gamble. REALLY glad I did. Will absolutely come back for all the different experiences!!!

Great fun day out but get the ticket that does it all....entry, drinks & food..we didthis & didn’t need to spend anything else all day. Very safe so elder children can make friends & wonder off on their own with no concerns about them getting lost.good for the adults too & different levels of rides depending on how brave you’re feeling. A great day out for the whole family. A couple of the rides were closed but we were compensated with free towels and free entry on the others.

It’s my husband’s first time to Hawaii and I asked him if he do ziplining and then I found this nighttime ziplining, freefall and s’mores that we had to do. Liv and Liz were awesome and funny. They make it such a fun experience. It wasn’t like the ziplining I had done on Maui. It was different doing it a night vs. during the day. The s’mores was good and fun being around a campfire. Reminded me of camping back home.

adventure tour hawaii

Fabulous 4,000 acre ranch in Ka’a’awa Valley with huge variety of super fun activities from beach to ocean to zip lines to horses, jeeps, buses and more. Breathtakingly beautiful mountains. One of the best places in Hawaii Nei.

Our family took the Jurassic Park tour yesterday. Our son was interested in this and we decided to go. Our tour guide, Sunshine, was wonderful. She knew so many facts about the movies and the ranch, made the tour enjoyable (even for those of us who knew little about the movies), and was an expert in making sure we took pictures. I would highly recommend visiting the ranch!

We went on the 7am whale tour and had such a nice time. As we were leaving the marina we witnessed the most beautiful sunrise, as we got closer to diamond head the sun looked brighter and bigger than ever. We saw so many whales on this tour we even saw one Breech out of the water it was the coolest thing ever! Steve and Tony are fantastic! They are such a good team. Steve knows all things whales, he's so knowledgeable and had none stop facts about whales and the island of Waikiki itself. Tony's commentary add something special to the trip as well and he knows all the spots for whale watching. Cannot recommend this early morning whale watching trip enough!!

What a phenomenal experience! Captain Steve and Steve the boat owner went over the top to make the day absolutely perfect for Mom & me. The boat is beautiful and very well appointed. Snacks and cold beverages were wonderful~ the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head were exquisite. We will be back!

My family and I had a great time with Steve (owner) and Cpt Steve. From the beginning we felt very welcomed. He was born in the island and knows a lot of the history which I enjoyed listening while the boat was under way. If you have a question about the island, and even want to ask for tips, Steve is the person to ask. The boat was very clean and beautiful. He explained to me that it took him 5 years to restore it. My daughter wanted to be in the boat when she saw the pictures. He customized the trip to our likes. We anchored in an area near the Waikiki coast where I enjoyed snorkeling. He has other activities which he offered, but was what I wanted. When the time was over, we had a great lunch and came back. Next time I'm back, I will definitely seek them again. My family agreed that it was one of the highlights of our trip.

Booked a private boat charter with Steve of Kona Star for mother in law's 60th birthday. We booked two hours (3-5pm). The boat was very easy to find. We met Steve the owner and Steve the boat driver, both were super friendly and accommodating. The boat itself is very large, spacious, clean - the floors were remodeled in a non-slip material. Steve gave us a very nice tour on the drive out, detailing the history of Honolulu, which my in-laws really really loved. We stopped at a scenic spot out in the ocean with Diamond Head in the background, and got out to swim for a little bit. They had snacks for us after our swim. My kid loved the watermelon and pineapple that they cut up for us. They had all kinds of snacks available - sandwiches, cookies, chips, drinks, fruit, veggies, and cheese and crackers. On a separate note, my son had a brief meltdown after we took him out of the ocean, and Steve offered to hold him, which immediately calmed him down. My MIL is also deathly scared of boats, but she loved every second of this boat trip. Thank you so much to Steve and Steve for making her 60th birthday boat trip extra extra special. Definitely recommend Steve and this boat!!!

I booked a last-minute excursion with Steve and the Kona Star while my family was in Waikiki and it was truly the highlight of our stay. From the moment I called with a capacity question, Steve was beyond personable and helpful with every detail. When I neglected to follow his instructions for arrival and was lost, he cheerfully took the time to come meet us and didn't let that detract from our time on the ocean. Once we stepped foot on the boat, the captain (whose name sadly escapes me at the moment) was very pleasant and generous and Steve for his part, never sat still in order to provide my family with an exceptional experience. He brought out all of the stops including a veggie tray, delicious sandwiches, a charcuterie board, fresh-cut Hawaiian fruit that tastes much better than what you get stateside. I will definitely book Steve and the Kona Star for another voyage the next time I'm in Waikiki and I recommend him to anyone else looking, in the area. I've chartered quite a few boats and yachts in my day, but Steve really set an extremely high standard and I thank him and the captain for such an exceptional voyage. - Phoenix

We took a morning ride with Steve and Steve and it was excellent. They were very gracious and knowledgeable hosts and treated the family great! Definitely recommend these guys and will absolutely come back.

Photo of Candy P.

Steve and Tony were excellent. They showed so much hospitality with food, drinks, and so much history and education about whales and the island. They went the extra mile to make sure we seen whales which we did. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again. Thanks Steve and Tony

Most amazing charter we've ever taken! It was a dream! We cannot wait to share it with friends and family! We highly recommend chartering this boat!

If your idea of getting away from it all includes a vacation without the kids, consider booking an adults-only or adults-oriented cruise . While some lines provide a fully adults-only experience (i.e., children are not allowed on board), others offer adult-focused venues and activities on the ship to keep you separate from younger patrons.

The following cruise lines provide upscale amenities, immersive excursions, sophisticated dining options, lively nighttime entertainment and time for relaxation among like-minded – and similarly aged – travelers.

The line will add Viking Vesta to its ocean fleet in 2025.

Viking's exploration program boasts special access to behind-the-scenes experiences curated for travelers who are interested in history, food, the arts or science.

Viking also hosts onboard enrichment programs like cooking classes and lectures by historians. Cruise fares include stateroom accommodations with a private veranda, all meals (including specialty dining venues), wine and beer at onboard lunch and dinner, 24-hour room service, one free excursion per port, complimentary Wi-Fi access, and access to onboard amenities such as the Nordic Spa and fitness center.

In addition to its ocean vessels, Viking offers river cruises in destinations around the world – including Mississippi River cruises aboard Viking Mississippi.

All the ships in this adults-only cruise line feature 1,404 cabins (most with balconies) and RockStar Quarters suites, where guests have access to Richard's Rooftop, an exclusive outdoor deck space. The superyacht-inspired vessels boast 20-plus eateries, including restaurants by Michelin-starred chefs, and a variety of onboard fitness and wellness spaces.

Two ships in P&O Cruises' U.K.-based fleet – Arcadia and Aurora – are exclusively for adults 18 and older. Arcadia, the slightly newer of the two ships (debuted in 2005), carries 2,094 guests at double occupancy, plus 866 crew. The ship departs from Southampton in the U.K. and sails to a variety of European destinations, ranging from Spain and the Canary Islands to Norway and Iceland; some cruises visit the U.S. and Canada.

Arcadia's 15 restaurants, cafes and bars include Indian cuisine with a British twist at Sindhu, as well as steaks and seafood by renowned British chef Marco Pierre White at Ocean Grill. Passengers can take a class to sample the line's branded gins; sip Champagne at Intermezzo, the ship's cocktail and Champagne venue; or enjoy a pre-dinner aperitif at the yacht-inspired Spinnaker. After exploring exciting ports of call, head back on board to enjoy Arcadia's elegant interiors and top-notch service. You can splurge on a stone therapy treatment and a visit to the thermal suite at the spa for some extra pampering, followed by a live show at the three-tiered theater, The Palladium. Then, finish off the evening dancing the night away at The Globe.

Aurora is a slightly more intimate ship, carrying 1,874 passengers (double occupancy) and 850 crew members. A four-level atrium gallery sits at the heart of the vessel.

Top Cruises Designed for Adults

While some all-inclusive – or mostly all-inclusive – boutique and luxury cruise lines are family-friendly, many of the onboard venues and activities are adult-by-design. Since there are few (or no) activities geared toward younger cruisers and no babysitting services, you typically won't find parents with young children on these ships.

Some even feature special events, such as a 12-night voyage from Rome to watch the Monaco Grand Prix in May 2025, or a 25-night cruise in February 2025 from Buenos Aires, Argentina , to attend Carnival in Rio de Janeiro . In addition, the line is extending its offerings on Country Intensive voyages in 2024 and 2025 with itineraries in various continental European countries, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Iceland and Australia.

On board, you'll find a wide selection of casual and formal dining options ranging from Windows Cafe to the main dining room, Discoveries Restaurant. Specialty restaurant offerings include top-notch steak and seafood at Prime C and Italian fare at Aqualina.

While these larger ships offer activities for families and children of all ages, adults can also find hidden retreats and venues just for grown-ups. These spaces are typically quieter and situated away from the crowds.

Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity Cruises offers spaces created with adult guests in mind. On Celebrity Beyond and the newest addition to the fleet, Celebrity Ascent , adults can have a unique dining experience at Le Voyage by Daniel Boulud. The world-renowned Global Culinary Ambassador for the line, Daniel Boulud created the menu at this elegant venue, incorporating dishes inspired by his travels. You'll also find an impressive wine list to accompany your dining experience.

When it's time to relax, The Solarium is a popular adults-only area located on the Resort Deck of all Celebrity ships. This light-filled pool area encased by a glass dome is the perfect quiet space for reading a book or taking a nap. While there, you can also grab a light breakfast or lunch at the Spa Cafe and Juice Bar, or order your favorite cocktail while lounging in the hot tub.

Other adult-focused venues to check out on Celebrity Ascent, Beyond and Apex are the new elevated bar spaces. The Edge series World Class Bar – a popular spot on other Celebrity Cruises ships – features craft cocktails in a beautiful setting. And don't miss the two-story Sunset Bar on Celebrity Ascent, a reimagined space by interior designer and TV personality Nate Berkus. The aft location of the bar offers almost twice the space as previous iterations and beautiful wake views.

Princess Cruises

The Sanctuary, a retreat for guests ages 18 and older, offers an escape from bustling public spaces. The relaxing top-deck venue is available on all Princess Cruises ships and features plush lounge chairs, a spa-like setting and Serenity Stewards, who serve light bites and other refreshments. To fully unwind, consider reserving a private cabana, where you can book an open-air massage. The child-free venue varies from ship to ship, with some offering the exclusive Retreat pool, cabanas and a bar area, and newer iterations featuring more space.

Spellbound by Magic Castle is an exciting new venue aboard the line's newest ship, Sun Princess, for adults 21 and older. The collaboration with The Magic Castle private club in Hollywood offers guests an evening of magic, illusions and theatrical cocktails in a Victorian-inspired space.

If you're heading off the ship for an excursion to Princess Cays (the cruise line's private island in the Bahamas), plan to chill out for the day in an adults-only Sanctuary Bungalow. Located just minutes from the ocean and beach, the rentals accommodate four people, and the price includes two complimentary float rentals. You can also order a gourmet picnic to enjoy while lounging on shore.

Back on the ship, adults can reserve a spot for the line's new Winemaker Dinners, a partnership with Caymus Vineyards. These 12-guest evenings are offered fleetwide, two to three times during each cruise. Winemaker Chuck Wagner personally selected the wines from the notable Napa Valley winery to pair with the elevated five-course menu.

Carnival Cruise Line

Serenity Adult-Only Retreat on a Carnival Cruise Line ship.

The Serenity Adult-Only Retreat is located on all of Carnival Cruise Line 's ships. Access to this tranquil outdoor hideaway is complimentary for passengers 21 and older. While there, guests can enjoy relaxing loungers, daybeds and whirlpools. Take in the warm sun and ocean breeze with a signature sangria in hand, or stop for a healthy meal at the Fresh Creations salad bar (available on select ships) for an alfresco lunch.

Disney Cruise Line

Though Disney Cruise Line tends to attract families and younger travelers, it also offers multiple spaces and activities for adults 18 and older. Disney's newest ship, Disney Wish , boasts several luxurious adults-only venues featuring characters and scenes from "Beauty and the Beast."

For top-notch steaks, contemporary Italian cuisine and panoramic ocean views, make a reservation at the Cogsworth-inspired Palo Steakhouse. If you prefer French-style fare and world-class wines served in an elegant and shimmering setting, Enchanté by three-Michelin-starred chef Arnaud Lallement is the perfect place for a romantic dinner for two. Before dinner at either venue, enjoy a signature cocktail at The Rose. After dinner, you won't want to miss the galactic libations and ever-changing views of faraway galaxies at the adults-only Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge bar.

Depending on the ship, adult travelers can also dance the night away in a trendy club, watch live entertainment or a cabaret show, catch a sports game on satellite TV, or relax with an after-dinner cocktail at a bar or lounge. Outdoors, the kid-free Quiet Cove Pool is a tranquil place to relax on all the ships. For even more pampering, Senses Spa & Salon boasts treatment rooms with ocean views, luxurious spa villas and other amenities. On Castaway Cay, Disney Cruise Line 's private island, adults can head to Serenity Bay – a scenic, adults-only stretch of the beach.

Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Cruise Line has three adults-only outdoor venues for guests 18 and older (though specific spaces vary by ship). On Norwegian 's Bliss, Escape, Getaway and Breakaway ships, the Vibe Beach Club sun deck invites guests to relax in oversized hot tubs and comfy daybeds, adding perks like a full-service bar and chilled towels. Guests can enjoy two-story beach clubs on Norwegian Joy and Norwegian Encore, while the clubs on Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva include the line's first infinity hot tubs. You can purchase a multiday pass in advance for the club, and cabana rentals are available for more privacy.

At Norwegian Epic's two-level Posh Beach Club, complimentary perks include fruit skewers, cold water spritzers and a snack menu. Multiday passes are available to all adult cruisers, while travelers who book a Haven suite can access Posh Beach Club for free. Spice H2O is another adults-only venue on the Norwegian Bliss, Joy, Escape, Getaway, Breakaway, Epic, Star and Spirit vessels; access is complimentary. At night, the space becomes an open-air dance club where you can spend the evening partying under the stars.

Royal Caribbean International

The Solarium on the Spectrum of the Seas, Royal Caribbean International.

Solarium is Royal Caribbean International 's complimentary, child-free space open to guests 18 and older. Located at the front of every ship in the fleet, this indoor-outdoor oasis (or indoor-only on Quantum Class ships) offers impressive vistas and endless views of the sea. Thanks to a full glass canopy over the interior space, adult passengers can enjoy quiet lounging areas, swimming pools and whirlpool tubs with a view, no matter the weather. Select ships feature a cascading lagoon for further relaxation.

Be sure to grab a tropical cocktail or zero-proof drink at Solarium Bar (or Sunshine Bar, on Quantum ships) to sip poolside while enjoying the ocean vistas. Guests of both bars must be at least 21 years old when sailing from North America or a minimum of 18 when departing from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Adult cruisers (18 and older) can relax and chill out at the first suspended infinity pool at sea at The Hideaway on Royal Caribbean's newest ship, Icon of the Seas. The beach-vibe neighborhood, perched eight stories above the sea at the back of the ship, features Champagne cocktails, a DJ spinning tunes, full-size daybeds, a wraparound bar, and endless ocean and sunset views from the multilevel terrace.

Frequently Asked Questions

"Adults-only cruise ships – or adults-only spaces on cruise ships – have become increasingly popular over the years," says Chris Gray Faust, executive editor at Cruise Critic. "That's not only because fewer people are having families. It's also because parents themselves often want the chance to get away, either by themselves for a romantic trip or with friends to celebrate a special occasion, girls' or guys' weekend, or milestone birthdays."

"I seek out adult spaces on cruise ships primarily because I want my experience on a ship to mirror my life on land – a little quieter, with more sophisticated food and drink options," she explains. "I also appreciate the opportunity to connect with my friends who are parents in a space where we can have personal one-on-one conversations or let loose a bit with some drinks. Adults with children are more than just their kids, after all – and they also appreciate a space where they don't have to worry about their little ones."

Anne Scully, a partner at the luxury travel company EMBARK Beyond, says, "With so many cruise lines and sailings, it's always a good idea to have options – and adults-only cruises are very popular." She adds, "Viking and Virgin have always focused on adults-only cruises and most river cruises also cater to adult passengers."

Adults-only cruises are designed with guests ages 18 and older in mind, from the staterooms and dining venues to the onboard entertainment and shore excursions. What you typically won't find on board are water or theme parks, climbing walls, game rooms, and restaurants serving kid-friendly foods.

If you're looking for a relaxing, fun and romantic vacation without the kids in tow – and you don't want to deal with the other passengers' children on your getaway – consider booking a sailing specifically for cruisers at least 18 years old. Alternatively, select a cruise line or ship that caters to mostly adults and doesn't offer any services, kids clubs, babysitting or activities for children.

You don't have to be a kid to be a Disney Cruise Line fan. While the line does not have an adults-only vessel within the fleet, there are plenty of kid-free spaces for adults only. Adults can enjoy cocktails, dinner and entertainment in several venues and relax at designated pool areas on the ship. There's also private, adults-only stretch of beach, Serenity Bay, on the line's private island, Castaway Cay.

In addition, Disney offers one of the best programs to keep youngsters entertained at sea, so you'll find that many of the children hang out in the kids club during the day and in the evening. These club spaces are divided by age groups, and they're typically open until midnight or 1 a.m. so parents – and even adults without kids – can enjoy a night out on the ship sans kids.
