Even though my girlfriend and I were sea sick for most of the cruise the entire staff still made sure we were very well taken care of. Excellent hospitality.

Expeditions Lanai Ferry Boat Ticket from Maui | Round-Trip & One-Way Rides
Great day trip from Maui.
Activity Date: 2022/12/02 | Posted on: 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.

Molokini Snorkel Tour & Swim with Turtles Cruise - PacWhale Eco-Adventures
First timer to a life timer
Activity Date: 2022/11/27 | Posted on: 2022/12/02

It was my first time snorkeling. Couldn’t have chosen a better start. The crew was so supportive and encouraging. I hardly wanted to get out of the water once i got the hang of it. Now i cant wait for the next time I get to go snorkeling. The food on board was great. Towels weren’t mentioned in items to bring so i assumed they had towels. First timers mistake, so get your towels.

Smooth ride. Many people slept on the way back.

From beginning to end it was a pleasure to ride the ferry. Plenty of seats upper and lower decks. Most people slept, that's how comfortable it is. No issues.

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.

Deluxe Molokini & Turtle Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks - Trilogy
Must-do adventure!
Activity Date: 2022/11/21 | Posted on: 2022/11/24

This was such an amazing adventure for my teen daughter and I. We were served the most delicious cinnamon rolls with fruit for breakfast as we cruised to the Molokini crater. The snorkeling was unbelievable! At the next stop we swam with turtles. Once back on the boat the captain served up a delicious chicken, rice and salad lunch. Plenty of seconds too! Great POG drinks and ice cream to finish off the trip. The last 15 minutes of sailing through the trade winds was also a blast!
Thank you for everything guys! 5 stars!!

The tour up the Maui coast was breathtaking. We encountered a large pod of dolphins that were very playful, jumping out of the water and spinning around. The lunch was tasty.

We had a great time on a very nice boat, friendly staff, snorkeling at a the crater, and good food. Would definitely do it again!

This trip was more affordable than others, which made us wonder what we're going to get, but it turned out better than expected! It included a nice lunch, a great location for snorkeling, and a good length of time (four hours). We saw many varied fish and the day was fun!

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures
期待通りのシュノーケリングツアーでした。
Activity Date: 2022/10/31 | Posted on: 2022/11/02

当日は天候も素晴らしく、私達夫婦だけが日本人でしたが、キャプテンをはじめスタッフ全員が親切で、ユーモラスで、優しい人たちで安心してツアーをエンジョイしました。
28歳のクルーの男性は過去に日本を訪れたことがありその時の様子を聞かせてくれたり、翌日がハロウンだったので女性スタッフの仮装も乗客の雰囲気を盛り上げてくれました。
乗客の数名とも、カタコト英語でしたが、ボート内で色々な会話も楽しめました。
ホヌとの出会いだけでなくイルカやモンクシールとも出会て本当に楽しい半日でした。
キャプテン以外は皆さん若いスタッフです。(キャプテンが一番の盛り上げ役でしたが)

Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry
A good way to see all the highlights in a day.
Activity Date: 2022/09/28 | Posted on: 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.

Would do it again
Activity Date: 2022/10/09 | Posted on: 2022/10/19

This was probably the highlight of my week in Maui. The staff good, just not great. One of them seem more interested the women vs everyone. The experience was all that I expected. One negative is the deluxe lunch is burgers and chips. Hardly what I would call deluxe. So keep that in mind if you go.

Thank you for joining us! We provide a hot BBQ lunch of not only hamburgers, but also chicken breasts, hot dogs, vegan burgers, chips and fixings on the side. Most companies provide a deli sandwich, but we like providing a hot and fresh hearty option to our guests after snorkeling.

Mahalo!

Many visitors to Maui, whether they are aware of it or not, will have made a stop at Maalaea since a significant number of the island's whale watching and snorkeling cruises to Molokini Crater depart from Maalaea Harbor. The area is also well known for the Maui Ocean Center, often called The Aquarium of Hawaii and a top destination for families seeking a fun way to engage with sea life during their trip.
