Maui
The ferry was just fine but once on Lana’i there is little if nothing to do. There is one restaurant “the blue ginger” with ok food but surely order takers. There is no bar to grab a much needed drink. Two laps around the park and time to get a shuttle ride back. Two couples = $240 for ferry ride $80 for shuttle up and down the mountain, $50 for lunch = $370 bucks and 7 hours I’ll never get back.
Took my wife here for our Honeymoon / her Birthday and it was one of our favorite experiences on the Islands. Food was great, nice drinks and great views. Highy recommend going on this Sunset Dinner Cruise!
It was a lot of fun and a great experience! I learned a lot about the ocean, the history, and the fishes were adorable.
had a great trip over to lanai everything went smoothly would recommend the boat and staff.
So disappointed….. for the money we paid, we expected some aura of elegance……NO! Service was slow and probably because they couldn’t get workers! I get it…. Then don’t book a full ship! Ship very old and run down…… horrible smells! Food was Ok. Overall expected more judging on their advertisements! Will not recommend it to friends!
This was a horrible experience. Food was horrible, (my mahi mahi was not fresh and there was s curly black hair in mine). We were seated at a table with another random couple, (not very romantic.) My husbands food was also gross and very fatty. The cheesecake was still frozen and drinks were watered down, including my Diet Coke. The bathrooms were the worst part-absolutely disgusting like they hadn’t been cleaned in years. They smelt like vomit. The boat was extremely old and dirty and the “live music” was too loud and below mediocre. Please save your money!!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!
This was a great experience and beautifully executed from the welcome, to the food, to the dancers. Wonderful!
Aloha friends, we just completed our private guided tour of Lani, and we were very fortunate to have Joshua as our guide. This gentleman makes your visit an Amazing learning tour, and lets you know your are safe and welcomed on Lani.
The Island is privately owned and maintained, but is is an great tour experience in order really understand the Ancient Hawaiian culture and Survival skills. It is a beautiful place, and offers many photo opportunities.
Mahalo to Joshua!
Awesome evening! As good as it was 26 years ago!! Will definitely be back! Excellent!
Enjoyed grabbing a seat on the top deck. The team did a great job getting people on and off the boat. Ride was smooth as we could get given the high winds. Great experience overall.
The sunset dinner cruise was a very fun night. And of course, the ocean and views were so, soo beautiful. Dinner was pretty good. I had mahi-mahi with potatoes and carrots. Others in my party had some prime rib that was the better choice.
We had pleasant time all around!
1 note however, the boat was a little loud and looked a bit old and worn. But once the sun was setting and we had some drinks, none of that seemed to bother me anymore!
I definitely recommend!
Fast and easy, comfortable seating, and on time. Ferry is large enough so the ride is smooth. Available times are convenient for an all day visit, or for a couple hours of snorkeling. Parking at Lahaina Harbor was not easy due to construction but we found a parking lot several blocks away. Our first visit to Lana’i…very laid back and pretty.
The crew on board was friendly and efficient. Safety of the passengers was a priority. Booking the ferry was fast and easy, and a change of dates was easily done by phone. Thanks for the ferry ride!
I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was presently surprised. The crew and staff were great, the meal was excellent and the views were grand. There was an entertainer who sang and played, contributing nicely to the overall atmosphere. I had not booked a dinner cruise before but I’m glad,I did. I recommend the experience.
Great entertainment, food is only okay! But hey you are paying for the show!
This was a great experience. The crew of the boat was very attentive. The equipment was in excellent shape. Very nice breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately, we did not see any turtles, but this, of course, is not the fault of the tour operators. If you are looking to go to Molokini, I recommend this tour.
We had a late flight our last day in Maui so we wanted something fun and easy to do after we checked out of our condo. The MauI Ocean Center was a really fun time and educational to boot. There is a mix of outdoor and indoor spaces, an interactive show on feeding the sharks and rays, and plenty of exhibits that allow you up close views of the fish and turtles we saw while snorkeling.
The 3d video on whales was well done and the crowds were light enough to allow us good access to all the different viewing areas.
Such a fun experience. There were 4 in our party. Two actually went snorkeling and the other two watched turtles. The staff went above and beyond.
Nice atmosphere! Great dances which told stories. Engaging!
We had the best tour ever! We ended up being the only two on the tour and it was amazing. He even stopped and got us some donuts. We saw the best sunset and so many stars. Yoshi showed us all the different stars and the milky way on the telescope. He also took plenty of pictures of us and let me just say he is an amazing photographer. Would love to go again.
Yoshi is amazing! He is very thoughtful and came prepared. I went to Haleakala for sunset and then went for stargazing. He is very knowledgeable and explained a lot about stars to us using laser & telescope. He gave us donut, tea, blanket, gloves, jacket, and candy. It was amazing!!! He is very kind and friendly. I definitely recommended him to everyone.
Ps: Thank you, Yoshi!
My family and I had the best experience. From the moment we stepped onto the boat, the crew was very attentive, friendly, and funny. They provided a great overview of the day activities and what we needed. They checked on us frequently and even provided a little history lesson on the nearby islands. We took about 1 hr boat ride over to Lanai. Once at Lanai, it was a 7 minute walk to the beach. The beach was amazing!!! We did some snorkeling, a short nature walk, and had some time to chill at the beach. The BBQ LUNCH was delicious! The boat ride back we enjoyed 2 cocktails and ice cream. The crew exceeded our expectations. I would definitely do this again! I felt like VIP. Book it! You won’t regret it
Just a great show. Loved how it was about the entire pacific island triangle heritage. Definitely worth the money for the VIP.
It was an overall great time. You get to see marine life that you wouldn’t get to normally see on a regular snorkel trip. The shipwreck is fantastic and such a great experience. Definitely recommend if you have younger kids.
It was just a normal ferry ride from Maui to Lanai that took about a 45 minute ride each way. The boat was not full so it was nice that you had some room to not have to sit next to someone. Though there was a line I didn't worry because there were plenty of seats. If you prefer not to be under the sun then sit inside otherwise if you want to feel the breeze and get some sun then sit upstairs.
Live music was really pleasing, cocktails were only okay! Fun night overall.
Once in a life time experience!! The views were unbelievable! Very friendly driver who made frequent restroom or snack stops. Attentive to groups wants and needs! Pray you get a good group! Dress warm!!
My wife and I had an incredible day on this excursion! The exclusive rights to the island that other tour companies do not have is what makes this company one of a kind!! They take you to a "private" beach and allow you to snorkel, hike, and provide a breakfast and lunch! There were other companies snorkeling around reefs but this company actually takes you onto the island!! We HIGHLY recommend! Captain Raquel and her crew were fantastic!
The snorkeling experience was very good. They were informative and patient, helping everyone get equipped. They had 2 spots, I would have preferred just staying at the first stop, as there was less to see at the second, and the swim back to the boat was tiring at the second stop. I recommend using a flotation belt instead of a noodle. I also recommend taking Dramamine for the ride there and back.
Overall a fun time and we saw a lot of beautiful sea life!
John Hess was fabulous. Our whole family had the most amazing time. After talking about our week every one of us said this was an activity we would do again especially if we could have John as our guide.
We had a great time at this one . There wasn’t a bad seat in the house . Tons of great food and the performers were fantastic !
