Loved this trip. A bit on the expensive side but worth every penny. Food was delicious, especially breakfast. Water was clear and warm. We saw an “underwater cleaning station” where turtles go to get “cleaned” by other fish. The crew was attentive, encouraging and helpful. I have snorkeled before, but some of the other passengers had not, so they got lots of help. Definitely recommend this tour.

This was my 2nd time visiting Maui and my biggest regret from the 1st trip was not going horseback riding. I would definitely recommend Circle M Ranch. The horses were well behaved and looked well cared for. Our guides made sure we all felt comfortable and were very informative. I've ridden many times but I still appreciated the way they explained everything before we saddled up. They provided some drinks that we were able to keep in our saddlebags. The trail was beautiful going through sections of forest, and gave us plenty of views of the ocean, including whales and that gorgeous coastline! We stopped at a few outlooks where our guide shared the history of the ranch and island, and for some photos. The whole experience was very professional. When we got back to the ranch I was only sad it was over. Thanks for a great experience!

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.

Wes was wonderful in anticipating our needs (we are old!) and made our experience unforgettable. It was everything we hoped for and beyond. We highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Lana'i

Everything that we expected was delivered. We had a great time and saw so many whales on the way over to the snorkeling area. We spent just enough time in the water to not get bored or overwhelmed. Would definitely do it again!

Very much a book cruise. Scenery was beautiful and staff were super friendly, but no information on whales other than that is was whale season. being on the boat was wonderful and can't beat the view and we did see whales, but I wish I hadn't had the mai tai as too strong for me. Bus was fun!

My wife and I had an amazing horseback ride through trails . Staff and management were very helpful and friendly. Very much a family vibe with everyone. My wife and I are not very experienced with horses. My horse “kojack “ was very tame and easy to ride. Highly recommend to anyone interested in a horseback riding while visiting Maui.

This day trip to Lanai’i was an experience my wife and I will never forget! Captain Joe and his crew are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and attentive! On the way we were able to spot a manta ray just as we left the dock and several whales on the way to Lanai’i where we got off the boat and snorkeled. We were also served a delicious lunch! Check out the photos the photographer takes too. She is awesome!
We’d like to send a special shout-out to Coby aka “Utah” who wins the Kindest Crew-member award for ensuring I was safe and still able to participate so my wife could fully enjoy snorkeling! We can’t tell you how much that meant to us, thanks again!

My hubby and I wanted a more intimate luau experience…something more like a real family luau! We found it! Although there was no emu ceremony, we were immediately seated and our drink orders taken. Then we were invited to a lovely buffet without having to wait…delicious mahi, chicken and the most delicious pork I have ever had at ANY luau! Decadent desserts too - yum! After dinner, we experienced a one hour Hawaiian luau show. The dancers were extremely skilled and their performances very entertaining. The fire knife dancer was excellent and never dropped a fire stick. Music, songs, dancing and continued drink service during a lovely sunset and a twinkle-lit venue.
We loved the experience and enjoyed it immensely….fabulous food, positive personalities, delightful dancers, melodious music - the perfect evening at a more affordable price! We’ll be back with more family!

初めて見るパイナップルプラント。可愛いベビーパイナップルが見れたら、試食もでき楽しいツアーでした。帰りに1人1つのパイナップルをお土産にもらいました。とても甘くてジューシー。黄色いパイナップルを初めてみたかも!

The experience was amazing! We were super well fed, the crew was so knowledgeable, we saw so many whales along the way, and had a great time!
The captain was super friendly and was great at keeping everyone on track for time. Chad really went the extra mile by learning all of the passenger’s names. Mark gave lovely whale knowledge and some history of the Trilogy. Justin made sure we were always with a drink and was extremely polite!
Will definitely be doing this experience again!

The snorkeling was very crowded. Can’t count the number of times I got hit in the head with one of their little glass bottom floating devises. Had to quit early because the waves were getting to big. Not their fault I know. The food wasn’t good and some of my family members had moldy buns. Did get to see some whales and turtles.

We had mild expectations due to my wife's previous whale watching trip.
This visit exceeded our expectations. The captain was very informative and kept us on our toes with whale sightings. W e had a great time for our party of 5.

We had so much fun during our Lanai trip. We saw whales, and dolphins on the way there and our way back to the harbor. The snorkeling was great and the staff were so caring and knowledgeable! The lunch was also a highlight for me, I wasn’t expecting such a nice spread. I cannot recommend it enough, it was truly worth it.

This was so fun for our group of 18 people! The buffet was great with tons of options that everyone liked. There was a great dessert spread too. Our waiter was awesome and on top of bringing us all-you-can-drink beverages. The entertainment was so fun, with a mix of Hawaiian history between acts. A must-do if you've never been to a luau!
Mahalo!

Clive, our guide/driver was fantastic! So much information about Lanai and Hawaiian culture. Was great to see this island before it gets too developed. The beach was lovely and so not crowded with gorgeous views!

The early morning ferry was a smooth ride to the island. We were met by our guide, Russ, for the half day tour and along with another couple made our way into town to pick up a light breakfast at the local coffee spot. We stopped at Garden of the Gods which is like being on a whole different planet. The views were outstanding! The red dirt road out the GoG is rough and we were glad to have someone who was familiar with the area driving. We went on to see Shipwreck Beach. Again the dirt roads out to the beach were rough and even the Jeep tours from the Four Seasons were going at a snails pace while we manuvered our way around then. We parked in an area just shy of Shipwreck Beach where our guide's family had once had land, where some of the buildings still stand and walked the quiet beach strewn with old lava flows and had a good view of the wreck. Russ showed us how to tell if a coconut washed up on the beach was still good or waterlogged and even opened one up for us...it was a little old but still delicious. The drive through town was short and sweet...there's not a lot of town to see...and he dropped us off to explore the area. We, unfortunately didn't make it up to the Cat Sanctuary but we did hire a shuttle (he called and made the arrangements for pick up, $10/person) and went to Hulopoe Beach for the rest of the day. While at the beach I recommend following the beach to the east and checking out the many tidepools then walk just a short distance to see Sweetheart Rock. The walk back to the harbor is only about 10-15 minutes but get there early to get a good seat on the top deck. The ferry ride back was a little rougher compared to the morning. It was a great day and Lana'i, at least to me, is a must do because of the super chill vibe and aloha compared to any of the other islands.

Best views of Molokai, Lanai, from the west.
Guides were great! Tour allows us to plant our own Koa tree for future island health.
Book now, don’t hesitate for this special tour of Maui.

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!

Aloha,
Thank for your choosing the Four Winds.
I'm sorry you felt the snorkeling location was crowded; Christmas time is the busiest time of the year on Maui, as I'm sure you could tell by the plane ride over.
Our hot BBQ lunch is a staple on our vessel, I am so sorry to hear that this wasn't the case for you and your family. I will be sure to pass your comment on to our management team.
Aloha,
Nikki
