Maui
The initial booking was a challenge. I had tried several times, and three different days to book on the website. With each attempt I received a notice stating there was no availability. I did receive a call from the main office apologizing for the trouble, and I was able to book my preferred day/time. If you find you have the same issue, perhaps calling in might be a good idea, to check.
Our day was a bit of a whirl wind, as our guide, Jacob told us it would be. I didn’t pay for a 24 hour parking pass in Lahaina so, we had to make the first boat back. Jacob got us to the boat on time with no issue. As with all Hawaiian Islands, Lanai is special and has a unique story. We’d never been to this Island before, and visiting it was one of the main reasons I chose Maui as our vacation destination.
I would most definitely recommend taking this day tour. Enjoy the sights by folks who live, work, and can most appreciate this island.
The tour was very informative and our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He seemed to truly enjoy sharing his knowledge about the Maui Gold pineapple growing process and harvest. We enjoyed the whole experience.
Good food, nice and smiling starff. Good show. Nice place at the beach
Highly recommend this package!
- our boat captain, Cary, shared many interesting facts about all the islands while we were on our way to our snorkeling sites.
- he has great sense of humor and I enjoyed his choice of background music during the trip.
- I was blown away by the number of spinner dolphins and sea turtles we saw!
- Allison, one of the crew, was so friendly and helpful.
- Highly recommend.
Thanks again, Cary!
Thank you Maureen for the great review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your Lanai Dolphin Adventure! Mahalo!!
My family had a great experience. The staff was the absolute best. They were very accommodating and attentive, especially to our young children. I highly recommend Four Winds and would definitely book with them again.
Mahalo for choosing the Four Winds!
Our family had a wonderful time! We had 4 adults and 2 kids age 5 and 6.
The crew were so kind and helpful! They answered all our questions and really knew their material. We would definitely recommend this adventure to other families!
Our pilot Kurt was great, the view was tremendous.
It was a perfect day...comfortable boat ride with AC! It would be rated as perfect if the staff weren't rude as we were exiting the boat! ♀️
Theres nothing more to say so not sure why I needed 50 or more characters but here you go...useless words.
This was a fine ferry trip. No issues. The boat was clean and on time.
The crew was outstanding. Very efficient and personable. The music was a great added touch. The food and drink helped make this a relaxing and fun experience.
Our family of eight, included two 18 month olds. This trip was so accommodating. The entire crew seemed to love their jobs and were very helpful. The snorkel equipment fit perfect with no fogging up. They even had some little rafts that had a window into the ocean that was perfect for kids, including the toddlers. One of our kiddos was still not comfortable on the raft so he was able to view the fishies from the glass bottom. Breakfast and lunch hit the spot.
The on board photographer did a great job capturing our group even though we seemed to all go in different directions. And the cost of our album was very reasonable. It was nice to just focus on the snorkeling and not worry about the camera.
Although we didn’t need it, the crew also offered a short class on snorkeling for beginners.
It was the best day of our vacation.
Thank you for joining us Krier family! We are thrilled to hear you had a great trip with us. We would love to see you all again!
Aloha,
Nikki
My overall impression of the luau was beyond what I expected to be, it was awesome. In my opinion the food was top knotch. Our server Randy was incredible. The dancers and the show in general was excellent. I will recommend to my family and friends.
This was so much fun for my family! My 2 year old had so much fun and absolutely loved seeing the divers in the water. The whole crew were so great with my daughter and all so kind. The divers would give her high fives and fist bumps through the window, she loved it so much! The crew was so helpful getting on and off the boat and laughed at all my jokes lol. They are all so knowledgeable, smart, and so willing to help and answer questions. We definitely felt welcome and appreciated! Such an amazing experience for kids and adults alike! So thankful my daughter got to see fishies even though she can’t do things like snorkel.
Great food, good deck hands, and the music made the night!
Wish I could be back there right now! Our tour guide was AMAZING! Mahalo!!
Ride right with sunset. Food was absolutely delicious! Was great for our anniversary
Full of cultural knowledge, delicious food, and smiles! We loved the fire show!
I can’t fault the company too much for this but our outing got cancelled because of high surf so we moved it back and then that outing got cancelled for high surf. It’s a little frustrating because we try to schedule all of our plans for the day in the same area so this really threw off our plans on two separate days. It may have been useful to get a warning on the second rebooking that there was a decent chance that the boat could get cancelled again. I do understand safety is priority and as someone with no boating experience, I really don’t know how far out a high surf can be predicted. But overall, we’re pretty disappointed. I wouldn’t recommend booking boats that leave from Lahaina.
Feast at Lele definitely held its place as the number 1 luau in Maui. Every element from music and dancing, to food and cocktails, to table service was excellent. It wasn’t “hokey” which we wondered if it would. We expected the cost of tickets would be up there, and it was, the return from the high quality of our experience more than made up for the investment.
All that said, and as a side note we had a table right up front and center to the stage. I might attribute that to the fact that we made our reservation six months in advance of our trip. So I urge you to make your reservation as far in advance as possible.
I’m so glad we chose this Luau, The atmosphere alone was phenomenal! Hands down to the dancers they put on a great show and definitely entertained. It’s a must do while visiting Maui.
An amazing experience!! Really quite breath taking and mist do for first time Maui visitors! We visited O toner 4th and it was cold at the summit. Dress warmly (pants, sweatshirts, hat and gloves)! A special shout out to Preston, who was an amazing guide! so knowledgeable and a terrific host!
Lovely show, costumes, dancers and live music! The backdrop is just wonderful. The food now being delivered to your table was good portion and wonderful. The banana bread to go home with was just exceptional. Overall a great time! We love taking first timers.
Very helpful crew and captain, made the experience awesome!! Molokini crater and turtle garden are amazing places to go snorkeling
Breakfast and lunch tasted good as well which is a bonus!
The Haleakala National Park possesses a unique landscape and a variety of species only found there.
All the stops we made on our way up were worth it, however, our guide told us that the restaurant and visitor's center were not operating because of a lack of personnel, so it'd be nicer to have these options available.
According to the description of the tour, we were supposed to get back to our pick-up place/hotel after 10 pm but we got back at 8:30 pm. I was expecting to do some stargazing up there in the mountain but there was no time, our guide asked us to be back n the van at 6:45 pm...so this is was I liked the least!!
Other than that, our guide was very polite and helpful, and he gave us a lot of information about the places we were visiting.
I couldn’t experience more, than I had on our boat trip to Lanai
It’s perfect size of boat if you want to see views without other passengers heads in front of you, actually hear interesting and fun stories from captain and feel close to water.
We saw so many dolphins, colorful fish, turtles and learned a lot about these islands. As a bonus I got stung by a jelly fish, but I’ll take it as a very unique experience lol
If you’re very picky about food, bring your own, but for me it wasn’t important at that moment. They have different drinks and water, so nothing to worry about.
Both captains are super friendly and knew what they do.
Thank you guys!
The staff were so awesome, helping us with everything
We were the only Japanese participants on the English tour, but the staff were friendly, which eased our worries and allowed us to enjoy the experience. I was also concerned about seasickness, but the boat didn't sway as much as I had anticipated. The food was delicious. It would have been even better if the meeting and disbanding locations were closer to the Kaanapali area, as having transportation included would have been ideal.
英語のツアーで日本人は私達親子だけでしたが、スタッフの皆さんがフレンドリーで、不安は無くなり楽しめました。船酔いも心配していましたが、予想していたほど揺れなかったです。食事は美味しかったです。集合、解散場所がカアナパリ地区から遠かったので、送迎付きだと尚良かったです。
Bruce and Kendra were amazing guides! We loved our Lana’i tour, we are so glad we did it. It was great learning about the history and seeing more of the island than just the city and beach. We’d highly recommend this tour and we have told everyone we have encountered about it!
The crew on the Trilogy IV were unbelievably accommodating and welcome. The service on the ship and on the beach was unparalleled. Every part of the trip was an absolute blast from the snorkeling, the beach, and a last minute swim party to top off the ride. The Captain truely knows how to host a party; just when you thought the service couldn’t get any better, he would come by and clean your sunglasses.
If you’re debating between a trip to Molokini Crater or this trip to Lana’i, trust me; these guys put every other excursion to shame.
It was a great day boat trip to Lanai, and we saw dolphins. We enjoyed the snorkeling and swimming. The crew was professional and fun, and we were taken care of. In addition, the lunch was delicious, and they made sure had enough to eat. This is a trip that we will do again, and we highly recommend it for all.
