My husband and I very much enjoyed the guided tour of Lanai. It's the best way to go. Our guide, Bruce, is very knowledgable about the Island and it's history (as he grew up on the island) and told us many, many interesting facts. He is very personable and accommodating. Best tour guide we've ever had. Highly recommend this tour for everyone.

I have seen a few hula shows, but the luau show at the Marriott had seats that were close to the stage and directly in front, which was wonderful! There were about 300 to 400 audience members, and we were the only two Japanese people there, but it was a lovely night show.
何度かフラショーは観ていますがマリオットでのルアウショーは座席が舞台に近く真正面で素敵でした!
観客は300~400名程度で日本人は私たち2名だけでしたが
素敵なナイトショーでした。

I booked the full day tour based upon the reviews I read and I was not disappointed. Garrett was our guide and he was fantastic. My sister and I are very inquisitive and he was able to answer all of our questions and maintained a running commentary about the island and its history. Lanai is very different from the other Hawaiian islands that I've visited (Oahu, Maui, Kauai, the big island) and I'm glad I had the chance to tour Lanai.

I visited Maui for the first time and decided to choose the Trilogy tour to visit Lanai, which only has luxurious resorts and can only be accessed through excursions. I stayed near Lahaina on Maui Island partly because it made it easier to participate in this tour. The price was a bit steep, but the boat's facilities were good, and the timing for snacks and fruit drinks was great! The staff was very friendly and professional! During the cruise, we even encountered a pod of dolphins, which was very exciting on board.
The reconfirmation, gathering, and everything on the boat was in English, but since we were the only Asians on that trip, they were quite attentive to us. The private beach on Lanai had a good state of coral preservation, and snorkeling from the beach was quite good. I read experiences from previous visitors and asked beforehand to be notified so I wouldn't miss anything. The island tour included explanations about Lanai's industries and historical sites, which were well done (it was in English, so I couldn't catch all the details, but with a guidebook or smartphone, it was manageable). At the end, there was applause in the vehicle. The local town felt like something out of a Western, and it was at an elevation just slightly lower than Takao Mountain in Tokyo, making it feel like a small highland. Enjoying both the highland and the beach was a double treat.
When we returned from the town visit, we had an early dinner? Or a late lunch? It felt like a 3 PM dinner, and the BBQ only had chicken, which made me think it didn't quite match the tour price, but considering it as a late lunch, I was fully satisfied! Notably, the sunset during the return cruise was spectacular! The town of Lahaina bathed in the sunset, along with Iao Valley and Haleakalā Mountain, created the most gorgeous sunset.
初めてマウイ島を訪れ、、豪華リゾートしか無いラナイ島は、エクスカーションで行くしかないなと、トリロジーのツアーを選択しました。今回マウイ島ステイを、ラハイナ近くにしましたのも、このツアーに参加しやすいからという理由もありました。お値段はちょっと張りましたが、船の設備は良いし、軽食やフルーツ飲み物のタイミングもGood!スッタフは、とてもフレンドリーで、プロフェッショナル!!行のクルーズでは、イルカの群れにも会え船内大興奮。
リコンファームも集合も船内も全部英語だったけど、私たちの参加した回は、東洋人らしき人は私たちだけだったので、かなり気を付けていてくれました。
ラナイ島のプライベート感覚のビーチで、サンゴの保存状態も良く、ビーチからのシュノーケリングとしてはかなり良かったです。前の方の体験談を読んで、聞き逃すといけないので事前に声をかけるよう頼んでおきました。島内観光は、ラナイ島の産業や歴史名所など、説明もばっちりで(英語なので、細かいところは聞き取れませんが、ガイドブックや、スマホがあれば、大丈夫)最後は車内で拍手が起きてました。ローカルな町は、西部劇に出てくるようで、標高が高尾山(東京の)よりちょっと低いくらいのところなので、ちょっとした高原です。高原とビーチ一粒で2度おいしい。タウンビジットから戻ると早めのデイナー?遅めの昼食?が3時デイナーと思うとBBQが、チキンだけだったので、ちょっとツアーの値段と見合わないかなとは思いましたが、遅めのランチと思えば充分満足!!特筆すべきは、帰りのクルーズのサンセット!!
夕焼けに染まるラハイナの町と、イアオ渓谷、ハレアカラ山最高のゴージャスサンセットでした。

If you haven't had the chance to view the sunset at Haleakala it is worth the trip.. allowing someone else to drive while you sit back and relax, is the way to go. the Dinner was ok, My wife ate the vegetarian fare and passed on most of it. The driver was great, full of knowledge and passed it freely. Its nice to know some the history of Maui..

I was with two older American couples. It rained until the evening, which shortened our stay at one location, and the colors of the sea and sky weren't great. However, on the positive side, there was no traffic congestion on the way, the waterfall had a lot of water and was impressive. Additionally, the waves crashing against the rocks at Black Sand Beach were spectacular due to the rough sea. However, since the road is right next to a cliff, it can be dangerous in some situations. Also, during the long mountain road, one of the grandmothers got car sick, so those who are sensitive to motion should be cautious. Our guide, Gayle Shufeldt, provided excellent service, taking photos and giving us candy, in addition to her detailed explanations. It seemed to end sooner than expected, but I thought it was not bad at all.
アメリカ人の年配の夫婦2組と一緒でした。夕方まで雨が降っていたので、1か所の滞在時間が短くなり、海や空の色はいまひとつでしたが、逆に、往きは交通渋滞がなかった、滝の水量が多く、見ごたえがあった、など、いいところもありました。また、海が荒れていたために、Black Sand Beachで岩石にぶつかる水しぶきが圧巻でした。ただし、道路が崖に即しているので、場合によっては、危険なこともあるようです。また、長時間の山道で、おばあさんが車酔いしたので、車に弱い人は注意が必要です。ガイドのGayle Shufeldtさんは、詳しい説明以外にも、とてもがんばって、写真をとってくれたり、飴をくれたり、サービスがよかったです。予想以上に早く終わったようですが、悪くないと思いました。

This was a tour I was looking forward to on my first trip to Maui with my eldest son. It was a morning tour, and we were able to see a mother and baby whale at quite a close distance, which got us both very excited. I thought it would have been helpful to have an explanation about the parking, but I would like to participate again when I visit Maui next time.
今回、長男と2人で初めてのマウイ島旅行で楽しみにしていたツアーでした。朝からのツアーでしたが結構近い距離でクジラの親子を見ることができ、親子で大興奮でした。駐車場の説明があると助かったなぁと思いましたが、またマウイ島に行った時には参加したいと思います。

This was an amazing adventure to take! The only thing I would want to change and suggest is to bring a cushion. The seats on the bus were extremely uncomfortable. Also, I wished we would have stopped at more waterfalls, seemed to rush through them pretty quickly, but I figured they have a set schedule and placement with all the other tours. It might be better to be different and step out of the norm of all the other charters? Anyway, I did enjoy the driver Larry, he was so knowledgeable and sometimes funny!

I participated in November 2015. Although the weather was good, at the moment of sunrise, clouds covered the sun, so I couldn't see the best view. However, the scenery from the summit was very magical and made for a great memory. Since you wait outside for over an hour for the sunrise, you need winter clothing similar to what you would wear in Japan's mid-winter.
2015年11月に参加、天気は良かったものの、日の出の瞬間、太陽に雲がかかっており最高の景色は見れませんでしたが、山頂からの眺めは非常に幻想的でよい記念になりました。外で1時間以上日の出を待ちますので、日本の真冬と同じ防寒グッズが必要です。
