What a wonderful day we had! The captain
and crew were exceptional! They provided everything we needed for snorkeling and the how to’s, plus Island history. They provided a tasty breakfast sandwich on the way and then served us a delicious meal after snorkeling. The crew were amazing and friendly, providing exceptional service with pride and care. This is a must do!! 🌺

No exaggeration, we were treated like ROYALTY!! From the moment we arrived at check-in until we disembarked from the return ferry ride we experienced CONSTANT care and courtesy from the ferry crew and especially our trekker-drver/tour-guide Russ , who went to extraordinary lengths to ensure our comfort and enjoyment , always giving us plenty of time to explore and indulge at the many places we visited. He even surprised us by returning to the beach shortly before ferry departure time to offer us a ride over to the ferry dock, for which we gratefully accepted! To say that he went "above and beyond" would be an understatement.
And all the people we encountered in Lana'i City ( at cafe , gallery , stores ) were so friendly , kindly and hospitable towards us...we felt sincerely welcome , and thoroughly enjoyed our visit , and hope to return for a longer stay.
Our emphatic thanks to Russ ( he was there to greet us when we stepped off the ferry ) and the ferry crew , who were right on time and very professional , for helping us have a fabulous and very memorable visit to Lana'i !

RUSS was our guide and the day was exceptional! This was off the beaten path, and we learned so much about the island with the best guide ever. He's easy going, fun and flexible and makes sure everyone gets the tour that works for them. This exceeded our expectations and we recommend this highly!

Everything ran smoothly from our ferry ride to Lanai, to meeting our guide at the island harbour. We saw Shipwreck Beach and the Garden of the Gods, both worthwhile stops, and were introduced to the main beach park, some of the lovely expensive hotels, and a good look at Lanai City. We enjoyed our guide’s stories about growing up on Lanai, and we loved our free afternoon snorkelling on the excellent reef at the beach. The ride home in the ferry was pretty rough, but that’s to be expected on the afternoon rough and windy waters between Lanai and Maui. It was a very expensive day, in our opinion, and our guide sometimes repeated himself, just to keep the patter going. Nevertheless, we had a good day, and would recommend it to anyone with deep pockets, and a desire to experience Lanai.

One important thing to note when you arrive at Hilo Airport is to head to the Bus Loading Zone pickup area at the end of the Baggage Claim Terminal. Walk outside of the Baggage Claim area on the first floor, turn right, and proceed toward the restrooms at the west end of the terminal, where a Polynesian Adventure vehicle will pick you up.
Our tour guide, Dexter, was incredibly knowledgeable, as he was born and raised on the Big Island. He was a wonderful gentleman, showing great respect, kindness, and compassion for everyone. A lunch was provided, which included a turkey wrap, kettle-cooked chips, a chocolate chip cookie, and a refillable metal water container. We also made a stop at Big Island Candies for some sweet treats. While we didn't need to wear pants or jackets, wearing hiking boots for ankle support is highly recommended due to the rough and slippery terrain.
Our Blue Hawaiian Helicopters pilot, David (nicknamed "Chewy"), was also very knowledgeable. He videotaped our entire flight upon request, and we even had our photo taken, which was uploaded onto the USB thumb drive. Remember to bring your photo ID. You will also need to view a safety video.
Overall, it was an excellent experience and well worth the money.
Aloha Marjie,
Mahalo for your wonderful review!
We’re so glad you had an excellent experience from start to finish, and we appreciate you sharing those helpful arrival details for future guests. It’s fantastic to hear that both Dexter and David (aka “Chewy”) made such a lasting impression with their knowledge, kindness, and genuine aloha spirit. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to them—they’ll be thrilled!
We’re also glad you enjoyed the lunch and special stop at Big Island Candies, and we agree—good footwear is a must for Big Island’s diverse terrain. Thank you for choosing Polynesian Adventure; we’re honored to have been part of your Hawaiian journey and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon!
Warmest aloha,
The Polynesian Adventure ʻOhana

We had a wonderful 1/2 day trip around Lanai. Our local guide was very friendly, professional, informative and engaging. It was so much fun and well worth the cost. Highly recommend, since some of the best location spots require a jeep in order to get these spots.
Book ahead and give yourself enough time to locate the docks. The ferry ride can be a bit rocky.

We boarded the Trilogy catamaran and saw humpback whales, ate a breakfast snack on way over to Lanai. We snorkeled and went on a nature hike. Later on we had a great lunch break at the pavilion at the small boat harbor. Our captain and crew served us very well throughout the trip. On sail back to Maui we had adult beverages and ice cream. It was first class and recommended trip for everyone

Shout out to the staff member who held the ferry in time for us to get on at 6:30am. * Ensure to get to the docks at least 1/2 before as parking, and finding your meeting point, isn’t simple. Something we didn’t do 😞
Russ was a great tour guide who showed us how beautiful, and peaceful, Lanai is. Would have loved to see the inside of the Four Seasons Hotel.
Eat at the Blue Ginger Restaurant. Home cooked, fresh food!
We initially booked to stay the full day on Lanai, but was able to get an early ferry back.
Get to the docks at least 1/2 before. 1/2 day trip is enough time to see everything.

This tour was exactly what we were looking for...all details taken care of. All we had to do was get ourselves to the Kona Airprt. Our tour guide, Moana, met us at the airport in Honolulu and explained every step of the way...where and when to meet her for the next stop. All of the memorials were so special and we felt such gratitude to these soldiers who risked and gave their lives for us. The USS Missouri was especially impressive to us for its enormity and how she continues to serve our country as a representative of the great battleships that protected our country.
We especially recommend the tour if you are on another island, as they make your flight plans.

My then girlfriend (and very soon to be wife) and I took this day trip for the first time in 1985. On this outing in 2025 we marked our 40th wedding anniversary. It was wonderful then and still is a wonderful way to spend a day in paradise. The crew was amazing. Between their stories about the sea life and history of the islands and the family run business, their humor and incredibly attentive and diligent work ethic, they truly make you feel special!
If you can only choose one activity to partake in while on Maui, this is it!

We travelled in a suburban, not the jeep-style 4x4 we were expecting. It was very comfortable..
