Explore the 2026 Season with Koru Expeditions
Sail farther. Dive deeper. Connect meaningfully.
Hawai‘i
Sail the volcanic islands of Hawai‘i, where lush mountains meet turquoise waters alive with dolphins, turtles, and humpback whales. Experience the perfect blend of rich Polynesian culture and dramatic natural beauty above and below the sea.
Marquesas
Remote and rugged, the Marquesas rise dramatically from the Pacific with towering cliffs, waterfalls, and lush valleys. These wild islands offer an unspoiled glimpse of Polynesia’s ancestral heart, rich with tradition and artistry.
Kiritimati (Christmas Island) and Tabuaeran (Fanning Island)
Known as the world’s largest coral atoll, Kiritimati is a pristine paradise teeming with birdlife and vibrant reefs. Its untouched beauty makes it a haven for divers, anglers, and those seeking true isolation.
Tuamotus
The Tuamotus are a necklace of low-lying coral atolls, each encircling brilliant blue lagoons alive with marine life. Ideal for divers and sailors, this archipelago offers serene anchorages and some of the world’s best drift dives.
Rangiroa
One of the largest atolls in the world, Rangiroa is famed for its vast lagoon and exhilarating encounters with sharks, dolphins, and manta rays. Its tranquil motus and world-class diving make it a dream destination for ocean adventurers.
