More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the low-slung catamaran as the sun leans toward the horizon, the Pacific pushing warm light across the water. Beanbags and shaded lounges create an easy, social deck scene while the crew trims sails and the coastline slides by—black volcanic rock, wide beaches, a scattering of palm crowns.
