Can't say enough good things about the day with captain Turtle and crew. The crew was so attentive and fun. The breakfast and coffee that was served on way out to island was delicious. What really impressed me was that the crew remembered everyone by name thru out trip. The island of Lanai was as beautiful as the pictures. On a personal note I'd want to thank the crew especially Steve. I had an accident in the water and had to be taken to hospital. Steve went with my family and never left. Fortunately I was able to travel back and take boat home with captain Turtle. The boat and crew were amazing. If you want to book a trip to Lanai I strongly recommend Trilogy with captain Turtle.

Set along the ocean in historic downtown, it is the best one to experience a slice of Maui’s history. Great food and even better staff. Worth every penny.
Even had exclusive beer from Maui Brewing. They are also giving a share of the cost to help rebuild, very cool.

Our tour of Lanai with Josh was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, he made the experience unforgettable. Josh’s friendly demeanor and deep knowledge of the island’s history and culture truly set this tour apart. He shared fascinating stories that really brought the island to life, and his passion for Lanai was contagious. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re looking for an enjoyable experience, Josh is your guy! And we most definitely will be back!! Thank you!!

Accommodation was in Kaanapali, and we were to meet at 8:45 AM.
The reviews mentioned it would take about an hour. In hindsight, that was based on a time when there was no traffic and no getting lost.
We decided to take the longer route. The reason was that we thought it would be easier and clearer to drive on a straight road without going through the city.
I estimated that it would take about two hours, allowing for some extra time.
On the day of the trip, however, my hotel alarm clock was broken, and I woke up at the scheduled departure time, leaving 15 minutes late.
Even so, I felt relaxed thinking that there would be little traffic on the longer route.
As we actually drove, it took less than 30 minutes to feel like we were on a mountain road. There were hardly any cars, and I thought we might arrive early while enjoying the scenery.
After a while, the road began to narrow, and I stopped seeing any houses; the only thing in sight was a warning sign for falling rocks.
At this point, I felt I couldn't turn back and had to trust my instincts to keep going.
As the meeting time approached, I was filled with anxiety, but then I saw a sign for horseback riding, and I was so relieved and excited.
We managed to arrive just in time, taking about 100 minutes.
We completed the check-in, and other participants started to gather. The briefing on horseback riding safety began at the scheduled time.
I can hardly speak English, but they kindly assisted me, and I understood the instructions on how to ride and the precautions through gestures.
Finally, it was time to ride. I was the first to get on a horse, and surprisingly, it was quite easy to mount, which relieved me. There were even small children riding.
The course was a mountain path with ups and downs, and we rode slowly, which made it enjoyable and pleasant. I had the leisure to enjoy the scenery as well.
When we reached our destination after descending the mountain, there was an explanation about the history of the area. On the way back, we took a different route for part of the journey.
It was a great experience, and I had so much fun.
By the way, the return trip took about 90 minutes on the shorter route.
I would love to go again someday, this time taking the shorter route (laughs).

今思えばこれは下回りで渋滞なく迷う事なく行けた時の記載でした。
私たちは上回りで行く事にしました。
理由は街中を通らず一本道で走りやすく分かりやすいと思ったからです。
所要時間は余裕を見越して2時間あればと勝手に推測してました。
さて当日、ホテル目覚ましが何と壊れており、出発予定時間に目覚めてしまい、遅れる事15分で出発しました。
それでも上回りは車が少なく渋滞はないと考えて気持ちに余裕はありました。
さて実際に走行して30分も掛からず山道を走る感じになりました。
それでも車は殆んど見なくて、これなら早く着くのではないかと思いながら景色も楽しみながら走っていました。
暫くすると、どんどん道幅が狭くなって来て、民家さえ見かけなくなり目に入って来るのは落石注意の標識だけでした。
それでもここまで来たら引き返す事も出来ず信じて進むしかありません。
集合時間も迫って来ている中で不安いっぱいな気持ちで進んで行くと乗馬の看板が目に飛び込んでた時はどれだけ感激した事か。
所要時間は100分でギリギリ間に合う事が出来ました。
無事受付も済まし他の参加者もぞくぞく集まり、予定時刻に乗馬の注意事項の説明が始まりました。
英会話は殆んど出来ないのですが親切に対応してくださりガイドの説明は手振り等で何となく乗馬の仕方、注意は分かりました。
さあいよいよ乗馬です。
初めて馬の上に乗ります。
よりによって私が一番でした。
実際に乗って見ると以外と簡単に乗れて安堵しました。
小さい子供も乗っていました。
コースはアップダウンがある山道でゆっくり歩きながらの乗馬なので楽しく気持ち良く乗れました。
景色を楽しむ余裕もありました。
山を下って行き目的地に着くとその土地の歴史と思われる説明がありました。
そして帰りは途中まで別ルートでした。
良い体験が出来て凄く楽しかったです。
ちなみに帰りは下回りで帰りましたが90分くらいでした。
またいつか行きたいです。
下回りで(笑)

The check-in lines were confusing. Not enough clarity on which line was for preferred attendees and which was for general. Stood in the wrong line for 20 minutes before realizing we were in the wrong one. Check-in was about 20 mins late, which added to the frustration. The lawn at the Sheraton was not in great shape which was surprising compared to other times we've visited the property. Drinks were okay but the food and entertainment were very good. Overall, a good time for our families but was hoping for a bit more for the price.

I took a day trip to Lanai Cat Sanctuary, using the ferry that departs Maui at 6:30 AM and returns from Lanai at 5:30 PM.
Both on the way there and back, you just need to show the reservation email or state your name at the boarding area, and the staff will quickly confirm and issue your ticket using a tablet. The ferry has plenty of seating, and they broadcast what seems to be a local Hawaiian TV station.
I didn't feel much on the way there, but on the return trip, the waves were higher in the evening, causing the ferry to sway significantly, and I experienced severe motion sickness. According to my family, there is a part where the ferry briefly goes out into open water, which can change the tide flow suddenly.
When I immediately told the staff that I felt unwell, they handed me a bag and instructed me to "go out to the deck." Many passengers followed suit, so it seems that motion sickness is quite common. I recommend taking motion sickness medication beforehand.
Once I got to the deck, it was difficult to even reach the restroom, and I spent about 30 minutes hunched over with my face in the bag. However, a crew member, who seemed to be the captain, kindly gave me a bottle of water and said, "Putting this on the back of your neck will help." Unfortunately, I still felt unwell, but I was relieved that the crew was completely accustomed to dealing with seasick passengers and treated everyone calmly and kindly.
It was an intense experience, but despite the mishaps, my trip to Lanai has become a wonderful memory, and I definitely want to visit again. While it seems there is also access by plane, I would absolutely choose to take the ferry again, prepared for motion sickness.
ラナイ・キャット・サンクチュアリ目当ての日帰り旅で、朝6時30分マウイ島発、夕方17時半ラナイ島発の便を利用しました。
行きも帰りも乗り場で予約時のメールを見せるか、名前を名乗るとすぐにスタッフがタブレットで確認して発券してくれます。船内は客席も十分にあり、ハワイのローカル局と思われるTVを放送しています。
行きはあまり感じなかったのですが、帰りは夕方で波が高くなるため大きく船が揺れ、ひどい船酔いを経験しました。家族いわく一瞬外洋に出る部分があるので潮の流れが一瞬で変わってしまうそうです。
すぐに「気分が悪い」とスタッフに伝えると、袋を渡され「デッキに出るといい」と指示されました。私の後にも続々と乗客が出てきたので、かなりの確率で船酔いが起こると思われます。酔い止めを事前に飲んでおくのをお勧めします。
いざデッキに出るとトイレにまでたどり着くことも困難で、ずっと袋に顔を突っ込んだまま30分ほどうずくまっていましたが、船長と思しきクルーの方が「これを首の後ろにつけると気持ちがいいよ」とペットボトルの水をくださいました。あいにくずっと気分は悪いままでしたが、船酔いする乗客にクルーも完全に慣れっこな様子で、皆落ち着いて優しく対応してくれたことにホッとしました。
壮絶な体験ではありましたが、ハプニングも込みでラナイ島行きは最高の想い出で必ず再訪したい場所になりました。飛行機でのアクセスも可能なようですが、船酔い覚悟でまた絶対フェリーで臨みたいです。

Sammie was our pilot, and we were fortunate enough that it was just our family on the flight. She made us all feel extremely welcomed and took the time to learn our names, which made our flight that much better. We also all enjoyed the fact that our pilot was an instructor and a female (the world needs more female pilots) With a smaller group it’s easier to be more open and ask more questions about what you’re seeing. No one in our family has ever ridden on a helicopter, but we have all flown and it was awesome!! Planes can only maneuver so much, but helicopters give you a different look and feel of flying. Regardless of where you are sitting you get the opportunity to see all that nature has to offer firsthand. It’s also nice to know that everything was being videoed so you can spend more time looking and less time trying to capture it on your phone. She also was a wealth of knowledge around all things in Hawaii and offered recommendations on additional things for us to see.
Our tour guide was ready and waiting for us at the airport as we landed from the helicopter tour with Sammie. He was extremely welcoming and easily buildings one on one relationships with people. He had a very rich background of experiences which he easily incorporated into all aspects of the tour. From local language, culture, history, nature, driving habits of locals vs. tourists, and stops to get one of a kind eats (shave ice… not shaved ice) we experienced it all. My family was the only group, so we all got to spread out and experience that limo van. We had a beachside lunch overlooking black sand beach and got to experience local foods and stories of the area. We got time to visit the beach and got some great pics within a lava tube. The beach was a little busy, but we still found a spot. He also had a vast knowledge of everything we drove by and experienced. We were also surprised at how smooth the ride was. We had just done the Garden of the Gods a few days before.
Aloha Jessie,
We are so very happy that you all enjoyed your tour with us. I will be sure to let your pilot and guide know of your wonderful email.
Mahalo,
