Maui
My wife and I had an incredible day on this excursion! The exclusive rights to the island that other tour companies do not have is what makes this company one of a kind!! They take you to a "private" beach and allow you to snorkel, hike, and provide a breakfast and lunch! There were other companies snorkeling around reefs but this company actually takes you onto the island!! We HIGHLY recommend! Captain Raquel and her crew were fantastic!
We were met at the harbor with plenty of aloha from our guide Joshua. He had an intimate knowledge of the island. From its long history to now, Joshua knew it all. He explained how the ecosystem has evolved through the years. We went to a great store and picked up some ono poke and a loaf of guava bread (cake) Joshua recommended. He dropped us off at an awesome snorkeling beach near the harbor. We spent the rest of our day on that beautiful beach snorkeling and enjoying our lunch. You’ve got to buy the guava bread! The ferry trip was easy and it was a perfect time to catch a nap. Well worth our time and hard earned money.
Our family truly enjoyed this tour of Lanai’i. It was made even better as we had Josh as our tour guide and he did an amazing job as our host on this breathtaking island. He made us feel right at home and was always making sure we were fine and asked us for our input on what we wanted to do / see on the island! He drove us to some very special places and told us wonderful stories about the Hawaiian culture on Lanai’i as well as current information about the island and its current population. He also made a special stop at the cat Sanctuary and our daughters were absolutely thrilled about this! Thank you Josh for making this experience most enjoyable and memorable for our family!
The best snorkeling cruise at two different sites. Molokini and turtle town. Did not disappoint either sites. Lots of fish, sea life and coral at Molkini. Then on to turtle town which also did not disappoint. Turtles and fish abound. One turtle even came to surface for air while we watched. The staff is amazing, knowledge and very helpful. Pacific whale foundation cruises give back their profits to benefit the sea life. I highly recommend.
Staff was awesome. Food great. Sunset phenomenal. I highly recommend this cruise.
This was my first time in Hawaii, and I was a bit anxious about snorkeling after a long time. The crew consisted of the captain, one person in charge of the snorkeling equipment, and two out of three others who were Japanese. They were busy with operations, lending out equipment, preparing breakfast and lunch, providing drinks, and on top of that, they had to manage COVID safety measures, yet everyone was working diligently. (Even so, it seems the number of participants was lower compared to before COVID.)
Despite being so busy, everyone was kind and answered our questions, and they took great care of my sister, who was scared while diving. I was worried about whether the sunscreen I brought could be used, but it was available for purchase on the boat.
We were blessed with good weather, and thanks to that, we were able to enjoy snorkeling. I want to go again!
初めてのハワイ、久し振りのシュノーケリングでちょっぴり不安でした。
クルーは船長、スヌーバ担当の方がおひとり、あと三人のうちお二人が日本の方。運航、器具の貸し出し、朝食と昼食の準備、飲み物の提供、そもそもお忙しいのに、COVIDで感染対策も加わった訳で、みなさんくるくると働いておられました。(それでもCOVID前に比べれば参加人員が少ないとか。)
そんなでお忙しいのに、みなさん親切で優しく質問には答えて下さり、潜る時には怖がっている妹に付きっ切りでお世話をして下さいました。
持って行った日焼け止めが使えるか心配でしたが、船で購入が出来ました。
お天気にも恵まれ、お陰様でシュノーケリングを楽しめました。また行きたいです。
Great time, kids love it, amazing view from boat ,
Very professional service
We boarded the ferry at the Lahaina main dock and took a very smooth 50 minute ride to the Lanai Harbor. We we greeted by our guide Josh. Josh was is an extremely passionate guide who explains current and past customs and cultures on this small but interesting island. He was very amenable to making stops in town to shop and to go to the world famous cat sanctuary for my wife! We had time to take in the beauty of the coastline as well as the mountain ranges. This guided tour is one of the best we’ve taken and Josh made all the difference. Thanks Josh!
Joshua was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. He gave us tons of information and history. He answered all of our questions. He made the tour about us and showed us what we wanted to see. We loved it!!
The ferry ride to Lanai from Maui was on time, very organized, and smooth sailing at 6:45 in the morning. We spent the day in Lanai, and definitely worth it! Lanai was beautiful, and people there were all very friendly. The ferry ride going back to Maui from Lanai again on time. We didn't have to check-in again as we already have our boarding pass when we took it in the morning. Ride was good, wth a few rough spots as it was 5:30 in the afternoon, but I felt very safe. Will definitely do it again! Thank you for the wonderful experience!
Crew on their toes the hole time. Customer service was outstanding. Boat and snorkeling were outstanding as well.
Thank you for a memorable trip. Will be back.
This experience was easy from start to finish - easy booking on line, staff courteous, informing, and efficient. The ride itself was very relaxing and the views were outstanding. So glad we decided to take this ferry to Lanai instead of flying over!
Top dinner cruise with professional approach tasty food and drinks with smiling service
Exceptional sitting for couples with privacy
Keep up the good work
Hospitality is to another level. Highly recommended. Special thanks to all the crew members for being so awesome. Our 3 year old had a blast!!!
If you are a beginner or lack swimming experience (non swimmers), you must try this.. they make it so easy..
Thank you for joining us on the Four Winds II! We are thrilled to hear you had a great trip with us. We hope to see you again!
Aloha,
Nikki
We took the ferry to Lanai and then had a taxi take us on a tour. It was a great way to see Lanai without staying there
The experience was fun. The crew was very nice. The gear provided needs a serious update. Old a little gross and very poor quality. I would absoloutly recommend the experience to anyone coming but I would deffinitly recommend to aqua adventures to update the snorkel gear.
Excellent ferry to Lanai from Lahaina. The crew were super knowledgeable about passengers’ safety and were very friendly. We decided to shorten our visit in Lanai bec of the rain and they were able to accommodate us.
This was perfect for a half day trip to several snorkeling destinations. The crew was a lot of fun and personable and had great food prepped for us. Very easy going and the underwater wildlife was great! I highly recommend this tour group.
My wife and I booked this last minute and glad we did. It was an excellent adventure, ample time given for each spot, really took care of the passengers, great service, and good equipment.
Absolutely loved it! The crew was super helpful with showing us how to snorkel, and giving us tips to make snorkeling easier so we’re not working as hard. This was my family and I’s first time snorkeling and it’s an experience we’ll remember forever! Thank you to the crew for giving us an amazing experience! From the helpful classes and underwater picture availability, to the helpful crew looking out for us, I’d definitely do this again!
Thank you for choosing the Four Winds! It sounds like you had a great time.
We hope to see you on board again!
Aloha,
Nikki
Words cannot describe how magical and breathtaking this experience/tour was. My girlfriend and I had an unforgettable time on this full-day tour. We were able to see "Sweetheart's Rock" from the most immaculate viewpoint. There were also no other people/tours on Lanai the entire day, so again, the experience felt very private, romantic, and exclusive. An absolute incredible experience that you must do to understand...
The boat shuttle was good. The only thing I have frustrating to me is that there was no way to get around the island unless you booked a car two days in advance. And I booked to come back at 5:30 I had to go all the way back to the kiosk lady and tell them we want to go on the early shuttle back That’s after I was in line I wish there was clear instructions or somebody would announce that while sitting there waiting for the shuttle and standing in line
Sunset cruise was amazing. Friendly staff and service was great. The sunset has a beautiful scenery with great seating arrangements you can really see a lot. The steak tasted great as well.
It's called a snorkel tour but that title really falls short of everything involved. We had not one but two dolphin sightings. I'm not saying we saw a couple of them in the far distance. They were swimming right beside us, and there were literally dozens upon dozens of them jumping and spinning above the water. The beach at Lanai is peaceful and exclusive. The team set up games and activities for everyone to enjoy. Yes there's snorkeling but they are not assuming that everyone is into that. You wanna chill on the beach? You wanna play giant Jenga with the fam? You wanna walk up a nature trail? All covered. The short trail up to the cliff side is indescribable. After all of that they feed you a freshly prepared bbq lunch and they make certain that you don't leave hungry. The servers came by a half dozen times to make sure that everyone had enough food. I took the 630am tour in anticipation of afternoon winds because I tend to get motion sickness. I am not a morning person at all but considering the perfect conditions I had no regrets. The crew was attentive, friendly and considerate. I don't eat meat and I avoid gluten. I stupidly forgot to mention that in my booking, but they were still able to accommodate me on the spot with no hassle or judgement. If you've read this far and you still haven't booked, you'll be missing out on one of the best tours the island offers.
The food is DELICIOUS, they have great choices. The music was beautiful and the views were so serene!
We had an amazing experience aboard the Trinity. Aside from the wonderfully planned experiences, such as snorkeling a hike up to see Puu Pehe and a delicious lunch, we were met with extraordinary surprises as well! We were greeted by whales and dolphins! The voyage from Maui to Lanai was very enjoyable. The scenery of the ocean and islands around us, as well as the service on board with the friendly and knowledgeable staff. The snorkeling was AMAZING.
This cruise was outstanding. Everyone did an amazing job at giving us the best service! The staff was very friendly. I highly recommend this cruise dinner!
5 Stars across the board:
Boat Cleanliness and Size
Professional Captain & Crew: Friendly, Attentive, Caring
Dinner: Great food and plenty of it!
Drinks: All inclusive with both Alcohol and Non-Alcohol choices
Sunset: We had an amazing sunset in a cove!!!
Staff very friendly and helpful. Return to Maui in the afternoon was rough, but we were advised to move out of the stern if we didn't want to get wet, and stay seated for the ride. Great fun!
The snorkel equipment was the best we found, instructions for use were useful and enhanced the experience. The trip over to Lanai was fun and the captain was entertaining.
The timing of everthing was correct. The snorkelling was over at the correct time for the meal, the meal was great and appropriate for the day
The weather was perfect, and we even saw a whale breach in the way back.
