Hawaii
First time riding in a helicopter, the ride was awesome. I did get to see a lot aerial coverage, especially recent destruction that occurred. Checking out the other destinations were ok, but the park was the real treat. True interaction with steam vents. Feeling the heat come from it is insanely hot; even walking a distance away from it and the wind picking up for a bit, my sunglasses fogged up.
This is an experience only you can take for yourself. The helicopter ride made the volcano national park that more interesting. I would do it again just for the helicopter ride.
It was a great trip to see Lanai! The last Hawaiian island for us to visit. Very enjoyable and informative.
unreal amazing views and places how close you get is unreal
a must do
been to Hawaii before and missed out doing this
this time booked before we left home
this is the most eye opening thing you will do in your life
will do again again again if I get the chance
Didn’t know what to expect at the beginning of the tour as it was a long one including a helicopter ride. But everything was just perfect! We were picked up from our hotel on time. Had a wonderful guide at Big Island. The helicopter ride was simply breathtaking they actually did it before time which gave us time for an extra ride of the city after it. Would highly recommend this tour.
Great trip! Nice cruising both ways. Took the 0900 ferry, had lunch at the Four Seasons, then caught the 1400 ferry back to Lahaina. We even had some whale sightings! Very nice. Have done this before, will do it again!
This tour was amazing although a long day well worth it. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone
I had wanted to go at least once, so I applied for a plan that included sightseeing, not just the ferry ticket, but it was a disappointing tour. My impression is that it wasn't worth the high price I paid to participate. Just seeing Lanai from Lahaina was enough.
一度は行ってみたいと思って、フェリーチケットのみではなく観光付きのプランを探しもうしこみましたが、がっかりのツアーでした。
高いお金を払て参加するツアーではなかったなという感想です。
ラナイ島はラハイナから見るだけで十分でした。

We loved our day trip to Lana’i. We saw whales on the way to Lana’i right from the ferry. We rented a Jeep and enjoyed exploring the island. We enjoyed the 5th Friday festival en took the evening boat back. Great day!
There were only 7 of us on a bus built for 12. We were not rushed at the sites and the driver/tour guide paced our group appropriately. Driver was very smart and continually pointed out plants/trees and sites as we drove along. Those who were scheduled for helicopter lost out as the helicopter never took off.
It was a private tour for just the two of us.
It was my first time on Lanai Island, and I was guided efficiently.
The only disappointing thing was my lack of English skills, but I felt like I understood about 30% and enjoyed myself.
On Lanai Island, you can feel the original Hawaiian landscape and the remnants of Japanese immigrants, which offers a charm that you won't find in Waikiki or Oahu. It's one of those places I want to visit again and again. The world of the three Ws—wind, waves, and birds—is primitive, simple, and filled with a charm that is almost a little scary.
二人のみの プライベート ツアー でした。
初めての ラナイ島、 効率よく 案内していただけました。
残念だったことは、 当方の 英語力の 無さでしたが、 ３０％くらいは
分かったつもりになって 楽しめました。
ラナイ島は ハワイアンの 原風景や、 日系 移民（棄民）の名残も 感じられ
ワイキキや オアフ島に ない魅力が イッパイで、 何度でも 行きたい場所の
一つです。 風と 波と 鳥の ３W の世界は、 原始的で 素朴で 少し 怖い
くらい の 魅力に 溢れています です

We took a half-day trip from Maui to Lanai on November 12, with a guided tour of Lanai. It was a fabulous, educational experience and the highlight of our 11-day trip to Maui. Our guide, Bruce, was exceptionally knowledgeable on the island's history. He made the trip so enjoyable and, with the small number of people on each tour, it was very interactive. The online booking process was so easy. We were able to pick the exact date we needed to fit in with our vacation plans. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.
I arrived on Lanai Island by ferry and wanted to take the shuttle bus to the Four Seasons Hotel, but I missed it. However, a driver from one of the only two taxis on Lanai Island offered to help, and I was able to enjoy a tour of the island.
ラナイ島にフェリーで着いて、フォーシーズンズホテルのシャトルバスに乗りたかったけれど、乗り遅れていまいました。しかし、ラナイ島で２台しかないタクシーのドライバーが声をかかてくれて、島内観光が出来て楽しめました。

It's a small boat on the open water, take something if you're one that feels the motion or sea sickness. My wife hated it, I loved it.
I thought I could manage with a little bit of English since I understand it to some extent, but it was a bit tough. I expected that it would be okay if I didn't understand the explanations during the tour due to my limited English skills, but there were many times I struggled to understand things like the meeting times at each sightseeing spot and the lunch explanations. I think you need to have a decent level of English to book this tour. As for the attractions, I was really happy to see many turtles basking on the beach.
片言程度ですが少しは英語がわかるから英語ガイドツアーでもなんとかなるかなと思ってましたが、ちょっと厳しかったです。
英語力がないので観光案内の説明は分からなくても仕方ないと思っていましたが、各観光スポットでの集合時間や、昼食の説明など、よく理解できないところが度々ありました。
このツアーを予約する場合は、それなりに英語力がないと厳しいと思いました。
観光地的には、浜辺で甲羅干ししているカメがたくさんいて、それを見れたのは嬉しかった。

We can recommend the Half Day Tour - Bruce was a great guide!
Boat was clean and on time. If you get motion sickness going to Lanai is not an issue, coming back depending on the time you may get tossed and splashed pretty well. Coming back make sure you sit inside to avoid being soaked if you leave after 1 p.m.
We really enjoyed our trip. Our guide Jessica was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Maui is beautiful. Glad we flew over for the day
Steve was our driver/guide on the Lanai Full Day Tour.
He is a very knowledgeable guide and answered all our numerous questions. He is also an excellent driver.
Despite the fact that our tour was cut short by about 2 hours due to the cancellation of the last ferry because of bad weather, we were able to see everything on our list.
Thanks Steve for making our Lanai trip so memorable.
The return ferry departs at 14:00. The guidance for SUVs ends at 10:30. What am I supposed to do for three and a half hours on an island where I have no transportation? It's disappointing that if I had been informed from the beginning, I could have made better plans.
復路は14:00発のフェリー。
SUVでの案内は10:30で終了。
足の無い初めての島で3時間半何をしろと言うのか？
最初から教えてくれれば計画も立てられたのに残念でした。

We had a fabulous day on this tour. You do need staying power as it starts early and ends late but it is worth it. The bus tour of the Volcano Park was interesting but it was the helicopter ride that made the day. The professionalism of the company chartered for our ride was outstanding and our pilot had everyone feeling safe, secure and excited for the whole flight. Flying over the volcanos was amazing, even without any red lava on our day.
The one thing that was missing from the day was a little bit of time to explore Hilo itself - it looked so interesting and non touristy that we would have loved half an hour there.
This is not a cheap day, but certainly a once in a
lifetime experience we won’t ever forget and worth every cent.
Everything was amzing! We loved it. Saw multiple species of dolphins, snorkeling was great
The ferry was promptly on time and made the trip without any problems. The staff was friendly and welcoming. As it was a very warm day I appreciated to A/C in the main cabin lower deck!
Bruce our island guide was great and customized for us. Lanai is a special island and very worth seeing. One highlight was seeing two Indian spotted deer bucks with very large horns.
We had the best experience on our day trip to Lanai on a great boat with a fantastic captain and crew. We ended up on the 6:30AM cruise and everyone was super friendly and helpful. I really appreciated that they insist upon the use of reef safe sunscreen (and provide gobs of it for you to use). They also educate you as to why this is so important!
We saw a whale on our way out & a pod of spinner dolphins doing lots of early AM tricks. The beach at Lanai is pristine and you have it almost all to yourself.
The snorkeling was some of the best I've experienced on Maui ~ reefs are healthier than some of the others and there are loads of fish. Only complaint was that it felt a bit rushed, as we took the tour of Lanai first. Honestly I'd skip that next time and spend more time in the water. There was a photographer on the boat who was wonderful ~ she got lots of pics of the wildlife, as well as pics of families/couples on the boat & also snorkeling in the water!
The lunch was very tasty & we enjoyed chilling out with drinks and ice cream on the way back. Thanks much to the Trilogy crew for such a wonderful trip!
The people we’re really friendly. They teaches us how to snorkel properly. The only thing that sounded bad was that one of the worker not the captain but the one under him. Was calling a guy names because the was scared to get in the water that’s not rite he was calling him cupcake, fruitcake that’s just bulling to me
We gathered at the main loading dock of Lahaina Harbor, but there was no one to greet us. When I showed this voucher at the Lanai Island ferry ticket booth, it turned out that the tickets for this tour were ready there.
After a 45-minute ferry ride, we arrived at Manele Harbor, catching a glimpse of the scenic Pu'u Pehe (Sweetheart Rock) from the sea just before our arrival. We were welcomed by our 4WD tour guide (a second-generation Japanese American whose grandfather was from Fukuoka; he spoke a little Japanese and expressed a desire to visit Japan, but he had never been due to difficulties making money in Las Vegas). Our tour began with four people, including a couple from Texas.
From the ferry, it seemed like there was no sign of habitation on the island, but after climbing the mountain for about 20 minutes, we arrived at Lanai City, where most of the island's population (about 3,000 people) is concentrated. There are no buildings, no supermarkets, and only a couple of restaurants, with one movie theater. However, there are 14 churches. There are also two high-end hotels rated L. It seems that the people who stay here are not tourists but rather individuals looking to enjoy a leisurely time in a different world.
As we circled the town and headed toward the garden of the gods, Keahiakabello, we noticed neatly planted pine trees along the road, and a family of wild deer could be seen a little off the road. This area was once a pineapple farm, but part of it is now operated as a horse ranch. Along the road, there were pieces of black sheet film, likely used in the pineapple farm, scattered and contributing to environmental pollution.
As we continued north, we were jolted along a very bumpy road, characteristic of a 4WD, arriving at Keahiakabello, where red earth and large rocks or oddly shaped stones were scattered everywhere. From here, we could also see Molokai Island nearby. Our half-day tour included one more stop, where we might be lucky enough to see monk seals or honu (turtles) at a spot with a shipwreck, but unfortunately, we didn’t see any.
After leaving that location, we returned to Lanai City, said goodbye to the Texas couple on the full-day tour, and arrived at Manele Harbor just 10 minutes before our departure time, successfully boarding the ferry. The return trip was quite different from the outbound journey, as we faced significant waves during the 45-minute ride. Among the Hawaiian Islands, Lanai is small and quiet, allowing us to experience a little of the slow flow of time. Now, we are considering when to visit Molokai Island next.
ラハイナ港のメインローディングドック集合だったが、そこには、誰も迎えがなく、ラナイ島行フェリーチケット売り場でこのバウチャーを見せてみたら、ぴったしカンカン、ここで、このツアーのチケットが用意されていた。
フェリーに揺られ到着直前には、景勝地であるプウ・ペヘ（スイートハート・ロック）を海側から見ながら４５分でマネレ港に到着した。４WDツアー案内人（日系２世で祖父は福岡の出身とのことであるが、日本語は少しか話せず、一度は日本に行きたいが、ラスベガスでお金儲けできず、行ったことはないとのこと）に迎えられ、私たちとテキサスからの夫婦計４人のツアーが始まった。フェリーから見てると、どこに人が住んでいるのかという気配が全くない島であったが、２０分ほど山を登っていくと、島のほとんどの人口（約３０００人）が集結している？？ラナイシティに到着。ここには、ビルはない、スーパーもない、娯楽施設は映画館は一軒、レストランは２，３軒？、ただ、教会は１４軒あるとのこと。だが、Lグレードの高級ホテルが２軒ある。ここに宿泊される人たちは、観光ではなく、ゆったりとした時間をすごされる違う世界の人たちだと思われる。この街を周回して、神々の庭園と呼ばれるケアヒアカベロに向かい、北上していく道沿いにはパインツリーが整然と植樹されており、少し道路から離れたところには、野生のシカの家族が多く見られた。ここら一帯は、パイナップル農場だったとのことであるが、一部は馬牧場が運営されていた。道沿いには、パイナップル農場で使用していたらしい黒色のシートフィルムが細切れになり、散乱し環境汚染になっているという話があった。どんどん北上すると、さすがに４WDなのかがわかる超でこぼこ道にゆられて赤土の大地に、大きな岩や奇形の石などが至る所に散在するケアヒアカベロに到着。ここからは、すぐそこにモロカイ島も見ることができた。私たちは、半日ツアーであり、もう一か所、運が良ければ、モンクシールやホヌ（亀）に会えるとのことでシップレック（難破船）の見える場所に行き、ビーチウォークしたが、残念ながら見ることはできなかった。そこを離れ、ラナイシティに戻り１日ツアーのテキサスのご夫婦と別れ、マネレ港に出港時間の１０分前に到着し、無事、乗船できた。帰りの船は、行と異なり、かなりの大波を受けながらの４５分であった。ハワイ諸島のなかでも、こじんまりとしていて、ゆっくり時間が流れている静かな島をほんの少し体感できた。残すは、あと一つ、モロカイ島。いつ、訪れるか検討中。

This was wonderful experience! Captain Ryan and his crew were nothing less than fantastic! Saw hundreds of dolphins (only because of Captain Ryan’s experience), humpback whale and calf and the snorkeling was incredible. The whole crew was very friendly and made us feel at ease! Will definitely book again!
I visited Lanai Island, which is easily accessible by boat from Maui. It was an absolutely wonderful island that I had never imagined! It felt like a place where nature began, a place of origins.
The most amazing spot that I definitely want to visit again is Sweetheart Rock! Perhaps because of the legend of a tragic love story, the scenery is untouched and incredibly dynamic! The sky and sea are so blue! I could have gazed at it forever.
And! Our guide, Isaac, was the best! He explained everything with great effort to us, who are not very confident in English, and even took care of our lunch concerns. I am so grateful! I definitely want to join Isaac's tour again! Thank you for all the wonderful memories!
マウイ島から船で気軽に行けるという事で、ラナイ島に行ってみました。そこは、全く想像していなかったとにかく、とても素晴らしい島でした！！
地球の始まりと言うか、自然はこうやって生まれていった。みたいな・・・始まりの場所。
中でも一番素晴らしくまた訪れてみたいと思った所はスイートハート・ロック！！ 悲恋の伝説がある為か、誰も手をつけられない景観！ダイナミック過ぎる(≧∀≦)空も海も青い！ずーっと眺めていたかった。
そしてぇ！ガイドのIsaacさんが最高〜〜♪英語のおぼつかない私達にとにかく一生懸命に説明してくださり、お昼の心配までしてくれて感謝感謝です(≧∀≦)
絶対！！またIsaacさんのツアーに参加したいと思いました♪素敵な思い出を沢山ありがとうございました\( ˆoˆ )/

Took the round trip ferry ride to Lanai. Very comfortable ride. We expected Lanai City to be at the ferry dock...should have done more research.
The ferry runs regularly from Lahaina to Lanai. They are efficient and get you there safely. The ferry is comfortable with enclosed cabins to stay warm and dry...or cool and dry depending on the day.
