All Reviews for Maalaea Harbor & Ocean Center

My family had a great time snorkeling. The staff was very supportive, friendly and helpful. Service was all quick, on time. I definitely will book with you guys again.

Totally loved the whole experience, from the friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff, the wonderful amenities, great food and drinks, to the beautiful place. Loved all the information that was given throughout the trip. We all felt safe and had the best time. All the crew members were very attentive to the guests. I was a little worried about feeling sea sick, but the sail was great. They even offered motion sickness over the counter medication and natural options if needed. 10/10 recommended. Trilogy is the best!

This cruise is truly a 5-star event! Not crowded like many other dinner cruises, the embeance, the crew, the vessel, the food was top notch!

We loved the cruise so much that we booked another dinner excursion at the end of our stay at Maui!

Mahalo, Alii Nui and crew!

Well worth the cost. Crew was fun and attentive. Swells were a bit high but passengers were under the watchful care of the crew. Raquel was the best. Will recommend to friends and family.

We arrived early and were greeted by staff. Once we set sail, the waitress did an outstanding job at making sure we didn’t need anything. The food was delicious. I will definitely be back and will attend another dinner cruise.

This is the first time I went to Lanai even though I have been to Maui many times and very happy I took the Ferry. They were very punctual, organized and seats for everyone. I liked it so much more than going on the very crowded snorkeling boats. Definitely worth taking.

The shuttle from Lahaina Harbor to Lanai and back was a seamless, wonderful experience. All of the directions/instructions were easy to follow and extremely helpful. We had a large party, but didn't experience any problems. I highly recommend using this service as well as making the trip from Maui to Lanai.

Saw some local fish, the state fish and a turtle! Would go agian

Reservations and boarding was easy, the round trip ride was timely and smooth. I would do it again. The crew was outstanding.

Tour guide Joshua was amazing and would recommend this activity with him.

We had an awesome experience. The crew was totally professional and helpful in every way. Couldn't have been more pleased. Thanks

Adela was our Snuba instructor and she was amazing she was able to teach us quick and made us feel comfortable. The crew was amazing very funny and the breakfast and lunch was delicious.

Great staff. Good grub! Great vibe! Beautiful views smooth boat ride.

We were in capable hands with Joshua, our born-on-Lanai travel guide. His enthusiasm and pride in sharing with us his homeland on this historically fascinating island was infectious as it was a pleasure.

We were picked up promptly at the ferry dock and whisked away upcountry into the hart of the island. The small town of Lanai City was a historical treat as Joshua pointed out many informative funfacts and things only personal knowledge can regale and recount.

We had a terrific time and will likely do it again when we visit. We highly recommend this tour for a close personal look at one of the jewels of the island state.

Great ride. Easy and convenient. Wish I could park a car as well as the captain maneuvered the boat!! The reservation said I could show tickets on my phone but they insist you go to the ticket booth and get the paper tickets. No big deal but we wasted time in line so wish we had known. If you want to sit outside on upper deck, get there much earlier than they recommend to be in line early enough on a full boat ride.

The crew is exceptional! You might be turned off initially that the crew is also performing but don’t be. They’re so good and very much a steward of the culture. They’re extremely talented, entertaining and my wife and I loved every minute of it! The food was good, the atmosphere was obviously amazing (it’s Maui). The captain is a super chill guy, he does a brief education of the islands that was super interesting and informative. I can’t say enough good things about this dinner cruise. To top is off the crew involved some of the guests in the show and everyone was just having a great time.

I highly recommend this activity, you won’t regret it!

We turned around and headed back because no transportation available and everything around the dock is closed or hotel guests only.

Very, very enjoyable time! Spectacular views, beautiful boat, spectacular crew.

The experience was very good, but we had rough waters coming back from Lana'i.

Boat ride was as promised and on time in both directions!

This is by far the best snorkeling trip I have ever been on and I have been on many!!!The staff was caring and worked so hard on helping everyone!!! The food was excellent and fresh and plentiful all day like lots of food!! I cannot praise the captain and the crew enough they were all very hard working awesome individuals!!! If you ever plan to go snorkeling do not waste your time picking any other boat besides this one there is no better boat or crew!!!

I booked this tour for myself, my husband, and my six year old son. It was well worth it. Captain Travis and his crew were consistently attentive, well organized, and kind. The snorkeling spot was fantastic as well. The food was GREAT as I was expecting just a wonder bread ham sandwich, a bag of chips, and a can of soda. Highly recommend - esp. just based on the crew alone and nothing else.

A great way to enjoy an amazing sunset in Maui celebrating a Mother/Daughter trip and my 60th birthday. Tasty 3 course meal with 3 cocktails included. The Captain and Crew were pleasant and accommodating. The Captain dropped nuggets of information about the island as we cruised. The waves were pretty rocky but was no big deal for us. The only thing I took issue with was the salad greens were wilted, other than that everything was great!

Molokini Island had calm waves and high visibility, and I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling. Perhaps I had high expectations, as there were fewer types of fish than I had anticipated. When we moved to the second spot, I encountered a large turtle. The Japanese staff were always watching over us, so I felt safe while snorkeling. The meals provided for breakfast and lunch were delicious.

モロキニ島は波も穏やかで透明度も高く、シュノーケリングを満喫しました、期待しすぎたか、魚の種類は思っていたよりかは少なかったか。
二番目のポイントに移動したら大きなカメに遭遇しました。
日本人スタッフが常に見ていてくれたので安心してシュノーケリングが出来ました。
朝昼の食事が着いていて美味しかったです。

We had a pleasant ride to Lana’i. The ferry had an indoor seating area with AC as well as an outdoor seating area. Make sure to get there 30min before departure time.

The captain and his crew were outstanding and made the experience amazing. They were professional, attentive, informative and fun! The snorkeling and snuba spots were so worthwhile.
The only bad part was the boat ride to the 2nd location, but it was because of the wind and the amount of water that sprayed up. The crew warned us about it and offered other places for everyone to sit.

We absolutely loved our sunset sail! We were on our honeymoon and it was the perfect activity! From the appetizers and drinks to seeing the most beautiful rainbow to having a live musical artist on board, it was truly the best experience.

Our guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. Problem is with the booking agency. We booked a half day tour that turned out to be a on day that the coast guard had required maneuvers that cancelled the mid afternoon ferry from lanai to Maui. Veltra knew this months in advance but didn’t bother to change our schedule. They informed us that we would be back by 5:00 but given no other information we assumed that the ferry ride took that long. They repeated that we had a half day tour. Big problem if you have nothing to do for hours on lanai and/or have reservations on Maui at 6:00.
That’s half of it. If you read Veltra’s description of the tour it sounds like you’ll tour the town, the garden of the gods, the shipwreck beach, and more. No way, as our guide pointed out when we told him what we expected based on Veltras description. It’s a big island and you can’t fit all those places in a half day tour

It was my first time to go to Lanai and my experience with the ferry boat was excellent. The captain and the crew did an excellent job.

Our family truly enjoyed this snorkeling trip! We've been on several and this was the best yet! The crew was super nice and took very good care of everyone on board. They fed us breakfast, a snack and lunch and it was all very good. The snorkeling at Molokini was wonderful and at the end of the trip they raised the sails and we sailed for a while. Such a pleasant experience - we'll do this one again if we come back to Maui!
