We have been coming to Maui for years but have never ventured off the island to visit Lana'i. First of all, Veltra allowed us to change the tour date from a Monday to a Thursday with no problem since we had a conflict come up. The ferry ride from Lahaina was easy and took about 45 minutes. The sea was very calm and although they recommend taking sea sickness pills, it wasn't necessary for this trip. Our tour guide Bruce, met us at the ferry dock on Lana'i. He drove us around in an air conditioned Suburban which was very comfortable. It was just the two of us so the tour was really personalized. We took the full day tour which really gives you a great impression of the island. The tour was about 2 1/2 hours in the morning, then an hour for lunch and 2 hours in the afternoon. Bruce, our guide has lived on Lana'i for 20 years and was very knowledgeable. He has seen the positive changes that have occurred on Lanai' since Larry Ellison bought the island five years ago and thoroughly explained the evolution of the island through the current day. We were then dropped off at the ferry dock for the 4:30 p.m. ferry back to Lanai--note, you need to book the return ferry when you schedule the tour and for the all day tour, the 4:30 p.m. ferry is the one to take.

It started out as an ordinary boat ride, on a beautiful clear day, light variable winds. Then, nearing Lanai, we noticed dolphins swimming close to the ferry, going the opposite direction. Some were leaping and spinning. Our boat captain took the moment to slow the boat and loop back around to circle the dolphins again. Thrilling boat ride after all!
I guess part of my delight in the day was the weather -- beautiful and warm on the island. Return trip just as smooth as when I went out in the morning. Then saw a whale.
I'd do the trip again in a minute!

The staff were friendly, and the service on board was attentive. On the way to Lanai Island, we encountered a pod of wild dolphins, and it was wonderful to stop the boat and take our time to watch them. Once we arrived at Lanai Island, we were able to see many colorful fish while snorkeling! Those who wished could participate in a tour of Lanai Island, and I joined. The local female guide was very polite and shared many stories unique to the area. On the return trip, we enjoyed drinks while watching the sunset, making for a truly lovely time. I would definitely like to go again!
フレンドリーなスタッフの皆さんで、船内でのサービスも行き届いていました。ラナイ島に到着する途中、野生のイルカの群れにも遭遇し、船をとめて、ゆっくり眺める時間も素晴らしかったです。ラナイ島に到着してのシュノーケリングでは、色とりどりの魚をたくさん見ることができました!
希望する人は、ラナイ島内の観光に参加することができ、参加しました。ガイドの現地の女性もとても丁寧に、地元の方ならではのお話をたくさん聞かせてくださいました。
帰りの船内も、夕暮れを見ながらお酒をいただき、とても素敵な時間となりました。またぜひ、行きたいです!

We live on Maui but decided to venture out to Lanai. This little ferry was great! I was able to book trip for 5 people fast online and confirm it within 15 minutes just one day ahead.
Weather was great and ride was smooth to Lanai. We even managed to see wails. On island we decided to stay longer and I was able to move our tickets to last ferry without any problems (there is a phone number on the tickets, they do pick up the phone fast). Ride back was in the dark but it still was fun, we got to see amazing starry sky!

We have visited Maui for many years. We have always said we need to do a day trip to one of the lesser visited islands. So we chose Lanai. The tour package was inclusive, so all we had to do was show up. The ferry ride was quite nice. Your your guide was very informative about the history of Lanai. It was nice to see the island that was not over developed. Who knows how long it can stay that way, but we really enjoyed it. As the guide mentioned there is not much to do on Lanai, so the half day tour worked out well for us. Never the less we enjoyed our trip.

Lanai City is a small, cute town where I enjoyed eating lunch bought from a deli in the park and spent my time peacefully.
The road to the beach and the shipwreck was quite tough, and I was glad to have a Jeep! It was fun too.
I heard that Lanai is a very safe town, and no one locks their car keys!
I experienced a new Hawaii that you can't find on other islands.

The boat was quite fast, and my family had a tough time with seasickness, but the boat itself was more comfortable than I expected. It was nice that the prices for purchasing on-site and through Veltra were the same, so there were no extra fees for consumers. Lanai Island itself felt somewhat like Molokai Island, but the roads were bad and there were few hotels, which was a bit of a downside. We enjoyed the cat shelter.
船がかなり速くて家族は船酔いが大変でしたが、船自体は思っていたよりも快適でした。現地購入とベルトラを通じての購入の値段が同じだったので手数料が消費者側にまわってこなかいのがありがたかったです。ラナイ島自体は、まあモロカイ島みたいな感じでしたが、道が悪かったのとあとホテルが少ないのがちょっと難点。猫のシェルターは楽しめました。

My first time on Lanai Island, and it's truly a relaxing and quiet place, unlike other islands. The people are kind, and the Garden of the Gods was nice, but the planned visits to Hulopoe Bay and the ancient petroglyphs didn’t happen. The weather was a bit cloudy that day, which was a bit disappointing.
初めてのラナイ島、他島と違ってホントのんびり静かな良いところです。人も優しいし、神々の庭園も良かったのですが、プランにあるフルポエ湾や古代ペトログリフ見学はなかったです。当日は天気も曇りがちで少しがっかりというところでしょうか。

Too “tour bus” in style ( but it was Chevy). Tour went 2.5 hours with no food, water, or bathroom stop - family was not happy.
Tour and Island was ok, but it needs a mid point stop and event. Like swim in the ocean, or hike to some place, or zip line across a ravine, etc.
Needs more “ do it”, less sit.

There was good coordination between the ferry boat ride timing and that of the tour. The tour guide, Garrett, is what made the tour great. He was very knowledgeable, personable, and very efficient in conducting the tour. He grew up on the island, knew its history personally--and this made all the difference in allowing for a great tour.

I visited Lanai Island for the first time, which I had always admired from afar! The one-day tour was a private experience just for the two of us! Our kind driver, who spoke slowly and gently explained things to us despite our limited English, really impressed us! The island is surrounded by wilderness, giving it an undeveloped feel that reminded me of a Western movie!

On spur of the moment my wife and I decided to take the ferry to Lanai then rent a Jeep to go exploring. The cost was reasonable and it was a spectacular day. We caught the 6:45 morning ferry. The Jeep was waiting for us in the parking lot. We headed out not really sure what to expect. We ran into Mikee as we were driving up the hill towards Lahaina City. Mikee is the guy we rented the Jeep from He gave us some tips on what to expect and where we should go. His suggestions were bang on. We had a leisurely day exploring the island; so many amazing sights that will take your breath away! We planned to take the 6:45 return ferry that day. It gave us some leisure time after we were done exploring. The return on the ferry was a bit rough but the boat handles it easily.

I continued to persuade my wife, who cannot swim, to join a snorkeling whale shark tour in Cebu last year, saying, "You can float!" This year, we challenged ourselves with snuba. My wife kept saying, "I'm so nervous! My heart is racing!" even before we left the hotel in the morning.
After about an hour of being rocked by the waves while having breakfast on the catamaran, we arrived at Lanai Island. As for my wife, she kept putting her face in the water and saying, "Buhh!" and then "Pahhh!" After 10 minutes of floating, she couldn't dive. However, thanks to Todd, our snuba instructor, who encouraged her with "You can! Believe me!" she finally went underwater.
She was deeply moved by being able to breathe underwater and, when it was over, she exclaimed, "Ahh, that felt so good! Why haven't I done this before?!" just like she said after last year's whale shark tour.
After snorkeling, those who wanted to could join a short tour of the island. Then we enjoyed a barbecue before heading back to the boat. The return trip had higher waves due to the wind. The catamaran stopped its engine and began sailing. I thought about getting tipsy on beer before getting seasick, so I enjoyed a Hawaiian beer. By the way, alcohol is all-you-can-drink.
The crew's hospitality in trying to entertain the participants was wonderful. We had a great time from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I think the cost performance is excellent.
Thank you, Captain Turtle, Crazy Cat Mario, Diving Todd, Balance Ninja Boy Brandon!! We would like to join the tour next year too, with you as the crew.

泳ぎのできない妻を説得し続けて(昨年はセブ島で「浮いてられるから」とシュノーケリング・ジンベイザメ・ツァーに参加)、今年はスヌーバに挑戦。
妻は朝ホテルを出る前から「緊張する! ドキドキする!!」と言い続けていました。
カタマランで朝食を頂きながら波に揺られること1時間少々。ラナイ島到着。
扨て、妻はと言えば、顔をつけては「ブフゥー」。顔をつけては「パフゥー」。浮くこと10分、潜れません。が、スヌーバ担当のTODDの「You can! Believe me!」洗脳(?)で漸く海中に。
海の中で呼吸できることにいたく感動して、終わってみれば「あぁ〜気持ちよかったぁ。今まで何でやって来なかったんだろう!?」と、去年のジンベイザメ・ツァーの時と同じこと言ってました。
シュノーケリング後、希望者は島内ショートツァーへ。
そしてバーベキューをしこたま食べて船に。
ここからの帰りは風の具合で波が高くなります。そして、カタマランはエンジンを止めてセイリングを開始。船酔いする前に酒酔いしてしまおうかと、ハワイビールを頂きました。因みに、アルコールは飲み放題です。
参加者を楽しませようとするクルーの気遣いは中々のものです。
09:00から18:00まで、たっぷりと楽しみました。CPはバッチリだと思います。
The crew's hospitality trying to entertain the participants was wonderful. Cost performance is also satisfactory enough, we enjoyed plenty.

Departing from the far right dock at Lahaina Harbor. There is no parking at the dock, so I recommend the free public parking located to the north. The boat is comfortable, and we even spotted something that looked like a whale. Once we arrive at Lanai Island, there is a bus that goes to the Four Seasons. The beach is peaceful and highly recommended. I think it's a great idea to take a little trip there during your stay in Maui.
ラハイナ港の一番右の船着場から出航です。船着場には駐車場が無いので北側にある無料の公共駐車場がオススメです。船は快適。鯨らしきものも見えました。ラナイ島に着くとフォーシーズンズ行きのバスが出ています。ビーチも平和でおすすめです。マウイ島滞在中にちょっくら行くのも良いと思います。
