We had a great time on our Trip to Lanai! Our guide, Clive, was awesome. He took us around and let us spend as much time at each place as we wanted. He has lived on Lanai a long time and was able to give us insights into life on the island. We visited Garden of the Gods and Shipwreck Beach among other sights. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide or tour. He dropped us off at the Blue Ginger restaurant in Lanai City at the end of the tour at our request, where we had an excellent lunch. Then we toured around Lanai City for the rest of the afternoon.
We went back to the port early in order to visit the beach near the port (Hulopo’e beach), which is a 10 minute stroll from the port. Very nice beach. In order to do that we called the shuttle company, Rabaca’s limousine service (808-559-0230) who was able to send a van early to pick us up. No guarantee they will be able to do that, but worth giving them a call if desired.
We had an incredible time on the cultural canoe tour with We Paddle Maui! Our guides Puni, Ivan, and Jesus were awesome! The owner Fabio was great to work with as well! He answered our questions and was very kind! We would HIGHLY recommend this tour! It felt like we were getting a genuine look at the culture of Maui. Puni shared stories with us about Maui, the wildlife, and more. We were very fortunate to be paddling at a time when the whales were here. This made for an even better experience to see whales breaching and to see a mom and calf together in the water from afar. We learned a few Hawaiian words used in paddling, Ivan recited a Hawaiian prayer, and we had a little friendly race with the other boat toward the end. The guides were friendly, professional, and made the tour so much fun! THANK YOU We Paddle Maui! This has been the highlight of our trip!
Team Puni for the win! 🤙
We had an awesome first day of our trip at 'We Paddle Maui'! Our guides Ivan, Puni, and Jesus showed us the ropes and gave us a run down on these authentic Hawaiian style canoes. We had a truly wholesome experience as we paddled out into the ocean, whales breaching in the distance, stories of the culture exchanged, and knowledge of the sport passed along. I reccomend everyone visiting the island to book a tour with this company, as we left feeling closer to the culture, land, and wildlife! Thanks again to all of our guides, and Fabio, for a great time! We will be back!!
Team Puni for the win!! 🤙🤙🤙
Tour organizers were excellent, great communications. Captain Larry and first mate Zach were great, excellent hosts and put us on a bunch of fish.
Started slow, trolling until we reached the bottom fishing sites . Caught a few fish, including small barracudas. Finally hit a spot where the actions was wild, at one time five fish on at the same time. Zach ably handled it all, including taking our pictures with the fish. If you wanted to bring them home, Zach had some good recipes.
On the way into the harbor, saw over a half dozen whales. Great experience!
He took us into a very narrow canyon and we got within feet of the walls.
He pointed out the whales and paused so we could get a good look.
It was easily the apex of our vacation in Maui.
This was the 1st Luau we attended. It’s went beyond our expectations. The food was good and the show was fantastic. Ran very smoothly. Very organized. Well worth the price
Really nothing to improve. This show was organized and ran smoothly
Smooth sailing, saw dolphins and whale.
We were lucky!!
We had such a great time! This was our first fishing charter and it didn’t disappoint! We not only got to fish but we also seen whales, dolphins, and a shark! It was the best part of our trip. The captain and the crew are AMAZING and entertaining. Totally give them 10/10!
Our guides Jesus,Jonathan and Ivan taught us about the history of the outrigger and how to paddle as one. We saw whales fairly close and enjoyed a smooth journey.
A good workout. Bring a waterproof case for your phone, I wish I could have taken pictures.
We had 25 people on the boat and had plenty of room. The crew was great. We caught fish, snorkeled and saw so many whales. This boat comes highly recommended!
We’ve been to a lot of different Luau’s and Old Lahaina Luau is the best we’ve been to 👍😁
The eight ziplines offered great views of Maui’s coastline, and the guides made the adventure safe and fun!
Horses were well cared for and easy to ride, and the trails offered stunning mountain and ocean views
The timing and pace of the tour were perfect, with plenty of opportunities for photos and taking in the land.
A memorable and relaxing way to experience Maui from the ocean.
My favoprite part was the beachfront setting - it was beautiful, especially at sunset
Josh was an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about the island and it’s history.
Highly recommended for families.
We had a great time. Saw whale they gave us history and information about the whales today. Thank you
Great experience with all parties in my family. Make sure to bring a professional camera to capture the whale closely.
Sun protection is a must
Awesome culinary experience with authentic island flavors, nothing challenging, just delicious. Beautiful venue dedicated to this purpose only. It felt like attending a ceremony and celebrating with native people.
My daughter and I went on this trip and it was fantastic. I let her drive most of the time and we were directly behind the guide so it was great. Speaking of the guides, amazing dudes, not only for the trip and the assistance, but also for what they taught us about Maui and the restoration of the forest preserve. On every trip they plant a tree to try to bring back the rainforest and of course, Bella volunteered to plant it😎Highly recommend!!!
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.
10/10 highly recommend this tour! Best bang for your buck. Great staff and accommodations! Loved all the food and beverages as well as getting to know the captain and his crew. The snorkel gear and wetsuits were top notch, too. We will definitely do this again next time we visit.
Be prepared for a windy harbor and bring a dry change of clothes for the ride home.
Our family had an amazing time snorkeling and whale watching. The food was also very good and everyone had plenty to eat. Our favorite part was the wonderful crew. They were funny and kind and engaging and made us all feel super comfortable, mostly our 5 and 7 year old. This boat was great for kids and had a few options for them to be able to see the underwater life. We had plenty of time to snorkel and then lots of relaxing time in the boat to see a ton of humpback whales. We are already planning our Four Winds snorkel trip next year!
We enjoyed our experience a ton! Perfect way to end our vacation in Maui. You guys were excellent thank you!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the dinner cruise. We enjoyed great food, company, saw whales, and just relaxed and took it in.
The guides were fantastic! We very much enjoyed our trip, I've never seen views like that, so beautiful!!
The guides were very thoughtful and considerate of our needs and wants. They also shared Maui history and culture with us and it was all very interesting.
Cute farm with lots of cats to hang out with, pigs, goats, horses, etc. We even got to pet axis deer. We almost booked another tour but we had to leave in a couple days and had other stuff planned.
Highly recommended!!
The crew was great, the snorkeling sites were amazing, thank you for a great time.
Amazing adventure!! The ferry was easy, quick, and comfy! Josh picked us up and shared souch history, knowledge, and experience with us!!! Definitely recommend!!!
The crew and especially UA gave our family such a memorable experience. Highly recommend over the boat tours. Experience native Hawaiian culture through those that can share it best.
