Perfect way to travel

Reviewed by: Laurie, 2023/01/21

The ferry is clean, staff is friendly & helpful, ride is comfortable and you have a choice to be in air conditioning or open air.

We chose open air and had quite a show of whale activity.

I highly recommend!

Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry

Great sightseeing tour!

Reviewed by: Adriana , 2023/01/11

Great experience! Steve was extremely knowledgeable and told us all about Lanai’s history. He took his time and made sure we got the best from our tour. We wanted to see the turtles and he found them for us and gave us time to explore. He is the best and I highly recommend him as a tour guide if you want to explore Lanai.

Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry

Best Way to See All of Lanai

Reviewed by: Marc, 2023/01/04

Our tour guide, Steve, was right on time, friendly, super knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about his island home. We were able to see everything of interest on Lanai (except the resorts, which are not open to sight-seers). If you are on a one-day trip to Lanai, this is the way to go.

Wonderful time on the boat and island and in the water!

Reviewed by: Kurt, 2023/01/02

It was a great full day with my family. Captain Raquel and her team were amazing! Saw lots of whales in the morning with Haleakala in the background. Dolphins joined us on the ride back too! The entire team was fun and interacted w/ all of us. We can't recommend it enough!

Lanai Snorkel Tour & Dolphin Watch Cruise with Lunch - PacWhale Eco Adventures

Good experience

Reviewed by: Cyndy, 2022/12/25

The experience was good. We saw both whales and dolphins. The unfortunate thing was that they overbooked the boat and there wasn’t seats available for everyone on deck. Being forced to sit in the crew area below and not hear the captain’s commentary had a way of making you feel unwelcome. However, we did get to do the activities and saw wonderful marine life.

Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry

Great sights with a helpful, cheerful guide.

Reviewed by: Jackie, 2022/12/11

We had a wonderful time touring some popular sites on Lanai (Shipwreck Beach, Garden of Gods, Cat sanctuary). Many of the sites were off unpaved roads, so have a driving guide really saved a lot of work and planning. The tour group with Russ, Ray and Cory was very accommodating, making extra arrangements to make sure no one is left stranded, even when unplanned events arise. The hardest part was figuring out where to pick up the tickets that morning. For us it was a booth across the street from the Pioneer Inn, near a small lighthouse.

  • Garden of the Gods

  • Shipwreck Beach

  • Sunrise from the ferry

Great day trip from Maui.

Reviewed by: Jonathan, 2022/12/04

The ferry was good, prompt and safe. The island is terrific. The bay next to the ferry has terrific snorkeling, better than anything we’ve been able to find in Maui (but we’re newbies, so might easily mistaken). Take a pill if you get seasick, trip back was bouncy.

Overall I enjoyed the ferry ride to and from Lanai Island. There was limited seating outdoors and I wasn’t comfortable with COVID sitting inside. It was great though, that we were able to walk around during the ride.

Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry

A good way to see all the highlights in a day.

Reviewed by: Shelly Stone, 2022/10/24

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.

Maui Adventure Lanai Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Ocean Raft Tour with Lunch

I’m glad I booked this trip :)

Reviewed by: Anna, 2022/10/03

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!

Discover Lanai Day Trip from Maui, Hulopoe Bay Snorkeling & Sweetheart Rock

An absolute blast

Reviewed by: Scott & Amanda, 2022/09/26

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.

Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry

Worth it

Reviewed by: Squareone, 2022/09/25

The tour is probably the best way to see Lana’i. Our tour guide was very personable; he provided snacks and water, and even had a packet of pictures of the sites we saw and then some that we could take home with us. He went above and beyond. I was surprised how many people take the ferry to Lana’i for the day but have no plan for what they are going to do once they get there. We gave a few of them a ride to the only town on the island, which cost us a little bit of time. Highly recommend taking the tour vs. renting a keep and doing it yourself, since many of the roads that contain key sites are not paved.

  • Shipwreck Beach

  • Lana’i City

  • Inside the caldera heading toward Lana’i City. The trees along the ridge line were planted to collect groundwater from the clouds, as the island does not get much rain

  • On the road to Shipwreck Beach

  • Garden of the Gods

  • Shipwreck Beach, with Molokai in the background
