Lanai
Easy to schedule, purchase, and board. Flexibility in times to allow us time to explore the Lanai Island
All round positive experience, on the boat and lanai
Smooth sailing, saw dolphins and whale.
We were lucky!!
Really great day trip. Super convenient and comfortable ferry ride to Lanai. Our rental car canceled our Jeep at the last minute, claiming they did not have one, even though we paid in full months in advance, but a second company, “cheap jeeps “, came to our rescue, saying that they had to do the same thing for other people. Lots of fun for a day trip from Maui.
I would go with cheap jeeps rather than risk not having a jeep when you get to the island.
Ride was pleasant! Saw whales and dolphins on our ferry over and back!
The ferry was great - a bit expensive at$70 each direction. We were able to see all the highlighted stops on Lana’i in just one day. Fun little town diner for breakfast. We used a Jeep to explore the island - another $200. So, for two of us to explore for one day was about$700. This is our 5th trip to Maui so we were curious to explore a nearby island.
Arrive early if you want to see all stops.
Crew was great and friendly. Water was a little rough especially on the way back but we had a great time. Mahalo!
we had a great time exploring the other island and the trip was fast and easy .
This was such a great experience!
We have been wanting to explore Lanai for a long time and finally did it this trip… easy booking, very good customer service , and wonderful crew made the trip even better! Thank you very much!
the snorkeling and scenery were awesome. definitely one of the best beaches in Maui.
Shuttle took off without us. Had to rent an Uber.
Lana’i is a must see
Expeditions servicecwas great
Hit a few bumpy waves but good over Al I would recommend for Lana’i trip
Awesome experience
Most important to me!
1. Always reliable
2. Very knowledgeable and courteous personnel
3. Always willing to assist those in need
Our ferry rides over to Lanai and back were great and the return was the best. We had one of the best sunsets ever looking back over the water with colorful cloud layers over Lanai. Also lots of whale activity in the morning and evening.
The trip was comfortable and pleasant. The staff were helpful and friendly. Arrive early. They are prompt.
The ferry was comfortable despite rough seas. Staff were helpful and friendly. Arrive early to make sure you get on the ship. They are prompt.
I took a day trip to Lanai Cat Sanctuary, using the ferry that departs Maui at 6:30 AM and returns from Lanai at 5:30 PM.
Both on the way there and back, you just need to show the reservation email or state your name at the boarding area, and the staff will quickly confirm and issue your ticket using a tablet. The ferry has plenty of seating, and they broadcast what seems to be a local Hawaiian TV station.
I didn't feel much on the way there, but on the return trip, the waves were higher in the evening, causing the ferry to sway significantly, and I experienced severe motion sickness. According to my family, there is a part where the ferry briefly goes out into open water, which can change the tide flow suddenly.
When I immediately told the staff that I felt unwell, they handed me a bag and instructed me to "go out to the deck." Many passengers followed suit, so it seems that motion sickness is quite common. I recommend taking motion sickness medication beforehand.
Once I got to the deck, it was difficult to even reach the restroom, and I spent about 30 minutes hunched over with my face in the bag. However, a crew member, who seemed to be the captain, kindly gave me a bottle of water and said, "Putting this on the back of your neck will help." Unfortunately, I still felt unwell, but I was relieved that the crew was completely accustomed to dealing with seasick passengers and treated everyone calmly and kindly.
It was an intense experience, but despite the mishaps, my trip to Lanai has become a wonderful memory, and I definitely want to visit again. While it seems there is also access by plane, I would absolutely choose to take the ferry again, prepared for motion sickness.
ラナイ・キャット・サンクチュアリ目当ての日帰り旅で、朝6時30分マウイ島発、夕方17時半ラナイ島発の便を利用しました。
行きも帰りも乗り場で予約時のメールを見せるか、名前を名乗るとすぐにスタッフがタブレットで確認して発券してくれます。船内は客席も十分にあり、ハワイのローカル局と思われるTVを放送しています。
行きはあまり感じなかったのですが、帰りは夕方で波が高くなるため大きく船が揺れ、ひどい船酔いを経験しました。家族いわく一瞬外洋に出る部分があるので潮の流れが一瞬で変わってしまうそうです。
すぐに「気分が悪い」とスタッフに伝えると、袋を渡され「デッキに出るといい」と指示されました。私の後にも続々と乗客が出てきたので、かなりの確率で船酔いが起こると思われます。酔い止めを事前に飲んでおくのをお勧めします。
いざデッキに出るとトイレにまでたどり着くことも困難で、ずっと袋に顔を突っ込んだまま30分ほどうずくまっていましたが、船長と思しきクルーの方が「これを首の後ろにつけると気持ちがいいよ」とペットボトルの水をくださいました。あいにくずっと気分は悪いままでしたが、船酔いする乗客にクルーも完全に慣れっこな様子で、皆落ち着いて優しく対応してくれたことにホッとしました。
壮絶な体験ではありましたが、ハプニングも込みでラナイ島行きは最高の想い出で必ず再訪したい場所になりました。飛行機でのアクセスも可能なようですが、船酔い覚悟でまた絶対フェリーで臨みたいです。

Great sunrise on the way to Lanai and sunset on the way to Maui!
Can be chilly—bring an extra jacket/ sweater.
Hit some waves—fun splashes!
Loved the tour, it’s well timed as it felt I had enough time in water at both Molokini and turtle town. The crew is very good and they really make sure you are well taken care of.
This is also an excellent opportunity for whale spotting, I did a whale spotting tour as well and this one was better.
The slide is awesome and everything is very family friendly.
We had a fantastic day! everything was well organized and people were so friendly. It was a great experience and carefree. Thanks!
Unable to book round trip ferry ticket on same transaction. Needed to input info twice. Stood in long line at 5:30 am to exchange reservation confirmation for paper tickets. QR code suggested.
We watched the sunrise on the way to Lani and watched the sunset on the way back to Maui! The staff were friendly. Easy ferry ride! So worth our day trip to Lani!
Smooth cruise. Saw spinner dolphins. Very nice beach close to port.
This was a great day trip! The ferry was great and we really enjoyed Lanai, especially the cat sanctuary! There is also a beautiful beach, close to the harbour. The shuttle bus service on Lanai was excellent!

Professional and welcoming crew took us from Maui to Lana’i. Ride was smooth - so much so that I fell asleep. Shows onboard included some interesting things about the island and ideas about where to go. Rating 10 out of 10.
The Ferry was clean and the trip was well organized. I couldn’t give it a five star review because the waves were extremely choppy and the ride was nearly unbearable on the way back. And, although there were “puke bags” in our seat on the way over, there were none on the way back. I had a motion sickness patch in place, but it wasn’t enough to keep me from feeling like I might be sick. Fortunately I did not get sick, but I was so stressed about not having a bag just in case. There were some bags on the back counter, but it was unsafe to get up and move around.
Easy booking process, and a relaxing way to get some sight seeing in while traveling from Maui to Lanai
The ferry from Lahaina to Lanai (Lanai to Lahaina) was very pleasant and scenic. We were greeted by splashing dolphins on the way to Lanai. We recommend using this ferry service. Mahalo!
