Isaac is awesome!
Reviewed by: Emily and Tatiana, 2021/03/03We had a great full-day tour of Lanai with Isaac — he is such a cool, authentic, fun, and knowledgeable guy who made our visit very memorable, through his many personal anecdotes and off-the-beaten path spots explored at a very welcome leisurely pace. Mahalo Isaac!

Highlight of my vacation to Maui!
Reviewed by: adennis300, 2019/11/13We 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.

Maui to Lanai Ferry Ride/Guided Island Full Day Tour
Reviewed by: Vasudha/DavidSullins, 2019/07/25Steve 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.

Maui to Lanai and half day island tour.
Reviewed by: Dave, 2019/06/21Bruce 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.

A Day on The Non-Pineapple Isle
Reviewed by: Marcia Darm, 2019/05/11For anyone who comes to Maui frequently an eventual day trip to Lana’i is a welcome diversion. The 45 minute ferry ride is relaxing with great cliff views approaching Manele Harbor. Our tour included a morning drive with high point and view stops and a tour of Lana’i City, a lunch/shopping break and another drive to cover some more points of interest. Lana’ Is a bit of a time warp with both an ancient history and a new future with its purchase by Oracle founder Larry Ellison. The best part was our tour guide, Bruce, who gave the day his all. Loved it! Take cash as it’s so tiny some places do not accept credit cards. We had a 5 year old in our group of 5 who did great. If you are curious take the whole tour. There is also one lovely beach you can walk to from the ferry if you just want to chill.

Excellent guided tour of Lana'i
Reviewed by: John and Eva, 2019/04/07We have been coming to Maui for years but have never ventured off the island to visit Lana'i. First of all, Veltra allowed us to change the tour date from a Monday to a Thursday with no problem since we had a conflict come up. The ferry ride from Lahaina was easy and took about 45 minutes. The sea was very calm and although they recommend taking sea sickness pills, it wasn't necessary for this trip. Our tour guide Bruce, met us at the ferry dock on Lana'i. He drove us around in an air conditioned Suburban which was very comfortable. It was just the two of us so the tour was really personalized. We took the full day tour which really gives you a great impression of the island. The tour was about 2 1/2 hours in the morning, then an hour for lunch and 2 hours in the afternoon. Bruce, our guide has lived on Lana'i for 20 years and was very knowledgeable. He has seen the positive changes that have occurred on Lanai' since Larry Ellison bought the island five years ago and thoroughly explained the evolution of the island through the current day. We were then dropped off at the ferry dock for the 4:30 p.m. ferry back to Lanai--note, you need to book the return ferry when you schedule the tour and for the all day tour, the 4:30 p.m. ferry is the one to take.

Great tour guide
Reviewed by: Tom, 2019/03/08Ron was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable. Only suggestion is to remove the tint from the back windows. They were dark and we had to roll down the windows to see out.

Exploring Lanai
Reviewed by: The Gees, 2018/12/07We have visited Maui for many years. We have always said we need to do a day trip to one of the lesser visited islands. So we chose Lanai. The tour package was inclusive, so all we had to do was show up. The ferry ride was quite nice. Your your guide was very informative about the history of Lanai. It was nice to see the island that was not over developed. Who knows how long it can stay that way, but we really enjoyed it. As the guide mentioned there is not much to do on Lanai, so the half day tour worked out well for us. Never the less we enjoyed our trip.

Nice way to discover lanai
Reviewed by: Elke, 2018/11/19Garrett was the best guide to discover lanai. You can feel his love for his homeplace.
The tour was very good organized. Even the flexebility to rebook to the earlier ferry to return.
To our opinion it is almost impossible to find the ways on lanai without a guide.

Awesome tour of the island and the lots of history of the island.
Reviewed by: Linda and larry frey, 2018/11/11This was an awesome tour by Bruce. He was very informative and a wealth of knowledge of the island. We went places and saw scenery and beaches that we would have never gotten to if we would have been on our own with a jeep. We were very pleased and would recommend this tour to anyone. We really enjoyed it.

Tedious day on the island
Reviewed by: Unhappy, 2018/07/26Too “tour bus” in style ( but it was Chevy). Tour went 2.5 hours with no food, water, or bathroom stop - family was not happy.
Tour and Island was ok, but it needs a mid point stop and event. Like swim in the ocean, or hike to some place, or zip line across a ravine, etc.
Needs more “ do it”, less sit.

Maui to Lenai ferry ride and half-day tour of Lenai.
Reviewed by: Bob and Sue Santos, 2018/07/21There was good coordination between the ferry boat ride timing and that of the tour. The tour guide, Garrett, is what made the tour great. He was very knowledgeable, personable, and very efficient in conducting the tour. He grew up on the island, knew its history personally--and this made all the difference in allowing for a great tour.

Reviewed by: 10th anniversary, 2018/03/03Great tour at a reasonable considering the ferry was included. We maybe didn't get our full value but only because of the rain. The tour guide was great and tried hard and did well to make up for the weather.

Worth it
Reviewed by: C. H. Mok, 2017/10/13Lanai is not well developed and roads are rugged so this is a good way to tour the island. Our driver and guide Ron knows the island very well and took us to places that I heard about but won't be able to reach by myself. He also told us the history and current state of the island. We learn and see a lot of the island via this tour.

Hidden Gem
Reviewed by: SNelson, 2017/09/25Bruce was awesome. Swept us up at the marina and asked if there was something in particular we didn't want to miss. We were open to anything so off we went. Nice hidden beaches. Great views. Lots of places we could have never found (or wouldn't dared) if we were touring alone. Bruce was so informative and was just comfortable to be around. The only improvement would have been the 4x4 that was advertised. The Yukon we went around in wasn't the best ride and that's fine but all the advertisements showed a very different vehicle.
Thanks Bruce for a great day!!!

Good experience
Reviewed by: Bebe Mireles, 2017/08/06The tour was a great experience. Definitely learned a lot about the island and saw places we would have never found on our own. The only complaint my group had was the political commentary from the tour guide. He started early on referencing those "damn democrats" and a negative reference to ACLU. Being a group of very liberal people, we found it offensive but did not say anything for fear that he would not provide as good of a tour. This would have been a great experience without this extra commentary.
