Self guided Jeep tour

Reviewed by: Greg, 2021/06/16

Greatly enjoyed the freedom to explore the beauty and isolation of the island at a pace my wife and I determined. This allowed us to separate from the “pack” and explore like we were the only occupants! Really liked Ship Wreck and it’s desolation.

Great Day Trip To Lanai

Reviewed by: Jay, 2021/06/02

Really great day trip to Lanai with necessary jeep to really get the best experience of Lanai! It can be a little tight on time but pick what you most want to do on the island and go from there!

Great time in Lanai!

Reviewed by: Mandy, 2021/05/24

Great time in Lanai! Lanai offers 400 miles of road to explore by four-wheel drive. We rented a jeep in Lanai City and visited Koloiki Ridge, Kanepuu Preserve, the lunar landscape of Keahiakawelo (Garden of the Gods), the remote white sands of Polihua Beach, Shipwreck Beach and the Petroglyphs, and the ancient remains of historic Kaunolu, home to King Kamehameha’s favorite summer fishing retreat overlooking Lanai’s southern cliffs. Wow! What an adventure!

Awesome adventure !!

Reviewed by: TonyandNellie, 2020/03/22

This was our 3rd time doing this adventure and as in the past it did not disappoint !! From the time we boarded the ferry in Lahaina until we returned to Lahaina everything went perfect !! The shuttle to and from the rental car was right on time. We love exploring on our own and seeing all the beauty Lanai has to offer. We highly recommend this excursion if you like the open road and are up for adventure !!

Lanai for the day!

Reviewed by: B. Souza, 2019/12/11

This was a great way to get away for some private time with the wife. From the Ferry ride to picking up the Jeep. This trip was great. Being able to drive all over the island was cool. Getting to the beautiful secluded beach was the best. Cant wait to get back to Lanai. Made us want to book a vacation here next time.

Lanai Jeep Tour

Reviewed by: Rhonda A., 2019/11/19

Planning this trip was so easy! We've tried to book this before, but due to too much rain it was cancelled. My husband and I took the ferry from Lahaina to Lanai. What a super smooth ride! We met a shuttle driver who took us to our rental car agency to get our Jeep. Lanai City is super friendly and we toured down to Shipwreck Beach and to the church. We loved every minute of our day and highly recommend this adventure! You won't be disappointed!

I made it to Lanai!!!

Reviewed by: Pigalicious, 2019/09/25

The Expeditions morning ferry ride was like being in an airplane.  The vessel was really cold and it was such a smooth ride that it didn't feel like your on a boat.   Once you get to Manele Harbor the shuttle is waiting for you to take you to Lanai City. To make the most of our time in Lanai our family paid the driver the extra $10 per person for the shuttle ride but it was definitely worth it.  We all shared the excitement of how the trees are all beautifully aligned along the roads.  The attendant at the jeep rental gave us a map and some local tips of where to visit and eat. Being it was an early ferry ride, nothing was open so early around Lahaina Harbor we got our breakfast at the only gas station in Lanai.  We started the Munro Trail but after getting mosquito bites we decided to turn around and head towards the Garden of the Gods. It was my first time driving a jeep so I was a bit nervous but the trail ahead of the Garden was much more bumpy and thrilling.  Once we saw the dark clouds, we decided to make a u turn and head towards Lanai City. It was so nice to be driving on paved road again!!! The ferry ride back to Lahaina was nothing like the morning ride but with all the bumpiness you experience on the jeep I wasn't sure if was just the feeling of it or if was actually bumpy. My only regret us we left the Pineapple Island without seeing a pineapple plant!!!!  Thank you Expeditions for finally making my dream of visiting Lanai possible!

Epic way to explore Lanai!

Reviewed by: Mike, 2019/08/07

Renting a jeep to explore Lanai was the best decision we made on our vacation! Renting the jeep gave us the ability to really go explore the island. When we arrived to lanai on the ferry we caught a shuttle ride that took us to Lanai City and dropped us off at the jeep rental office. From there we spent a little bit of time checking out some of the small shops in Lanai City before grabbing some lunch to take with us. The first place we went was the Garden of the Gods, which is a rock garden area that resembles the surface of Mars more than Hawaii. It is impossible to describe the overwhelming peace and untouched beauty of this place. From there we continued on to Polihua Beach. The off road trail starts to get a little more rugged and we locked the Jeep into four wheel drive, this is where the real fun began. At the end of the trail was the deserted and untouched Polihua Beach. We made this our lunch spot but did not stay long. Our next destination was Shipwreck Beach. Here we found the hiking trail that leads to the ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs. It was maybe a 10 minute hike from where we parked the jeep to the site with the petroglyphs. At first we were not able to see any, but you must climb up a few feet to see the more well preserved petroglyphs. After the petroglyphs and shipwreck beach we went back to Lanai City to return the jeep and catch a ride back down to the harbor. We intentionally turned the Jeep in a little bit early so that we could have plenty of time to snorkel at Hulopo'e beach before boarding the ferry to return to Maui. Hulopo'e Beach was absolutely incredible. In my opinion, it is the best snorkel spot in the entire state of Hawaii! The only thing I would change would have been to take the early ferry over to Lanai and the last ferry of the day to depart from Lanai. Lanai may be a small island, but there is more there than you can explore in one day.

Memorable experience

Reviewed by: Cathy, 2018/09/29

The ferry ride was VERY rough on trip over to Lana I. Many roads not open due to recent rain. We enjoyed hiking in Shipwreck beach and seeing the landscape. The cat sanctuary was the highlight of the day. Walking arount town was pleasant. We enjoyed visiting the shops. Probably wouldn't return unless we were assured that more roads were open. Staff was quite accommodating.

Reviewed by: Bob, 2018/09/22

The Jeep experience on Lanai was great but we could not take it on most of the off roads except for shipwreck beach. The recent rain tropical storm dropped a lot of rain and left the roads impassable. This is the 2nd time I’ve tried and had the same result.

A little disappointing

Reviewed by: Michigan , 2018/08/06

Three of the five off road trails were closed. That should be advertised to people who are looking to come over. The trip to Shipwreck Beach was beautiful and worth that road. The Goddess trail was not clearly marked and hard to find where it was. One of the highlights of the day was pastries and coffee at Blue Ginger Cafe. Wish we had time to have lunch there too. It was a happening place and the staff were very friendly. Overall good day but would have been better if there were more trails open and they were up front with potential customers.

Opportunity missed!

Reviewed by: Marylibrary, 2018/08/04

Out of the five roads that took you to various parts of the island three were closed and the other two had restrictions. No mention of this was ever made on the website or when I booked. Also, my fault, Koele Lodge is closed and under renovation so did not get to see that! Lanai City was cute and people were so nice. Going to Lanai was a bucket list item for me. A little disappointed.

4X4 Jeep rental Lanai

Reviewed by: Rich McClure, 2018/02/14

Overall a very nice experience you will see places and things only accessible by Jeep.
However this was a very short turnaround. I was under the impression I would board a 6:00 AM ferry. It turned out to be a 9:30 ferry so I lost 3 Hrs right off the bat. Would have liked to have more time

Reviewed by: jerome, 2017/06/19

A true 4x4 adventure on Larry Ellison's private island. Time is on the short side since there are limited roads, and one must cover roads to and from each point of interest often overlapping and repeating. but that's part of the fun---given the breathtaking scenery, we didn't mind the back and forth driving.

Great day, money well spent!

Reviewed by: Alicia L., 2017/04/29

At first the day seemed like a pricey day when you consider for two people it cost over $300. The cost was well worth it! When we arrived at the Lahaina boat dock we received our vouchers and were told we could basically return on any ferry regardless of our departure time (so more flexibility than expected). The ferry ride was great, we got to see whales all over the place, which was a first for my mother. Once we reached Lanai everything was taken care of, the shuttle had been booked and paid for that takes you to the rental car site. The rental jeep was ready to go, although it's not really stated anywhere beforehand you are not allowed to remove the roof due to red dust. Most of the adds showing jeeps on Lanai have jeep tops off or down but you cannot do that. That being said I wouldn't have wanted it down due to the red dust either. The shuttle driver setup a pick up time before leaving, as well as his number in case we wanted to catch an earlier ferry back. We rode down to Shipwreck beach, did the Cat Sanctuary, and then Garden of the Gods and the beach below. This took all day and by no means did we do the entire island, which meant that we took the last ferry back to Lahaina. We would do this again as there is more to see and do on the island as well as the ease of just showing up and having everything set for your day.

Fun day

Reviewed by: Christine, 2017/04/06

We took the early ferry for a pleasant trip to Lanai. The shuttle to the Jeep rental was waiting for us so we got headed on our exploration of the island quickly. After a tasty omelette and pancakes at the Ginger Cafe we headed to the Garden of the Gods seeing beautiful rock formations and landscape on the way. Next stop was shipwreck beach. It was only a short hike to get fairly close to the shipwreck and being the only ones on the beach was lovely. We felt like we were the only people on the entire island. So tranquil and peaceful there. We headed back and stopped at the Four Seasons for a drink, appetizers and a glorious view. The package was a great way spend the day on Lanai.

Maui to Lanai Ferry - Fun for the Family

Reviewed by: Deric, 2017/02/06

We had a great time with the ferry to lanai and the Jeep rental. Although buyer beware - the Jeep rental agency on Lanai will try to shake you down for transporting you on the shuttle to the rental office. Only send your driver with the shuttle to avoid being charged for the shuttle.
