Sustainability

A BETTER EARTH, ONE DAY AT A TIME

MANA Cruises is extremely passionate about doing what is right – for our guests, our crew, and our community. Being especially eco-conscious; we try and lead by example and only use high-end sustainable materials onboard and maintain mandated distance from marine life.

In order to make an impact on the ongoing problem of the ocean’s pollution problem, we have decided to work with and support Ocean Defenders Alliance. Operating from ship and shore, ODA’s all-volunteer boat and dive crews remove derelict fishing nets, traps, lines, plastic, and other “manufactured” debris threatening ocean wildlife and habitats.

MANA Cruises’ own Matthew Hatae has helped launch the Hawaii Sector in 2016 and continues to serve as part of their Board of Advisors, dedicated to cleaning our Hawaiian waters.
