Island Spirit Retreat - Private
Beachfront Home Luxury Package
Adventure Afloat-(check for group tour dates in
2003)
Explore Hawaii's calming seas, marine biology and ocean ecology, rich
culture diversity and the special places which have inspired Natives and select visitors
for centuries. Undergo a special sense of place through lectures, demos, hands-on
experiences and field trips.
Waianae's remote location (characterized by sandy beaches, exotic flowers
and diverse terrain), tropical climate and unique history provide an island and ocean
classroom to learn about amazing plants, marine animals and geology, as well as
conservation of vanishing species of O'ahu. With majestic cloud shrouded Mount Ka'ala at
our back and the turquoise Pacific Ocean at our feet, Waianae offers breathtaking views,
splendid sunsets, glorious moonrises and brilliant star-filled skies.
Your journey begins with a private massage therapy session. What better
way to begin than with total release and relaxation, clearing your mind for a new life
adventure.
The fascinating salt water world beneath the sea comes to life when
examined with marine biologists and three private wildlife field trips on 42 ft.
catamaran. In-depth snorkeling lessons are provided. Gently led by experts - safely swim
with wild dolphins, spot shorebirds, play with tropical fish and commune with giant sea
turtles (humpback whales winter season).
At your leisure - swim,
snorkel, sea kayak and stroll along the azure sea in a picturesque island setting. Savor a
cool refreshment in a private tropical garden or Jacuzzi, or by the dolphin tiled swimming
pool in your own courtyard.
Cultural expeditions include Hawaiian ancient heiau (sacred sites), local
legends, healing arts and traditional crafts. Walk in the footsteps of King Kamehameha,
Chief Poki, and the shark god of Kaneana sea cave.
Evening astronomy programs will enhance your experiential learning
opportunities. Step across the solar system and into the night sky to discover how early
Polynesians used the stars to lead them to this island. Telescope on property, reveals galaxies, clusters
and nebulae. Special sunset, stargazing cruise will give you a chance to test your
new-found skills and identify constellations.
Feel and look better by eating well and enjoying it too! Discover the
wonderful array of ethnic food available, and get practical instruction in preparing
delicious, balanced dinners that create maximum energy. Breakfast and lunch materials are
provided.
Let your mind and body stretch. Learn gentle, flowing physical
movements, mindful breathing and awareness to activate your storehouse of vital energy in
basic Yoga or Tai Chi courses. Renew your body, mind and spirit as "chi" frees
and restores blocked channels. Take home tools to increase flexibility, memory and
relaxation. 
Groups limited to ten people maximum (5 bedrooms, 4 baths) for best
experience possible for both participants and the island.
Your hosts have created a program that flows like the tides, an
unforgettable encounter integrating Hawaiian culture, nature and history. The Island
Spirit Center for a healthy body and happy mind.

spectacular location with its unspoiled beaches is ideal for ocean ecology programs with a
true Hawaiian country feel. Ground transportation included. Lodging is wheelchair
