All Reviews for Maalaea Harbor & Ocean Center

Shuttle took off without us. Had to rent an Uber.

Lana’i is a must see

Expeditions servicecwas great

Hit a few bumpy waves but good over Al I would recommend for Lana’i trip

We boarded the Trilogy catamaran and saw humpback whales, ate a breakfast snack on way over to Lanai. We snorkeled and went on a nature hike. Later on we had a great lunch break at the pavilion at the small boat harbor. Our captain and crew served us very well throughout the trip. On sail back to Maui we had adult beverages and ice cream. It was first class and recommended trip for everyone

There were no other Japanese tourists on the tour, and everything was in English, but I enjoyed it without any issues. I was moved to see whales appearing here and there, even from a distance. The vast scenery was absolutely amazing! Depending on the weather, this time there was no wind, and it was a pleasant cruise, so I didn't get seasick. (Just in case, everyone else took motion sickness medication.) This trip to Maui was also aimed at whale watching, so my long-held wish came true. I took a commemorative photo before boarding and purchased it, but later I received an email with a download method, so I was able to check it comfortably at hand. Thank you very much!

ツアーには他に日本人観光客はなく、全て英語でしたが問題なく楽しめました。遠目ではありますがあちこちにクジラが出現するので感動しました。なんと言ってもあの広大な景色は最高でした！！天気次第とはなりますが、今回は風もなく気持ちの良いクルージングでしたので酔う事はありませんでした。（念の為、私以外は酔い止めを飲んでました。）今回のマウイ旅行はホエールウォッチングが目的でもありましたので、念願が叶いました。乗船前に記念写真を撮って頂き購入しましたが、後にメールが届きダウンロードする方法でしたので、早く手元で確認する事ができ快適でした。ありがとうございました！

We saw so many whales. So happy to tick this off my bucket list ❤️

We had the greatest time on Lanai! The tour was fantastic! Josh was gracious and catered to what we were interested in. We felt like a local riding around town with him and are already talking about when we are going to come back!

Quick and easy to fill your afternoon and then head to a sunset dinner! We got tons of great sightings and the crew kept us safe

The island is so beautiful and so different from Maui, it is so great that they still have tours like these!

It was a bit of a long day on the water, but we loved it all around, the crew was very knowledgeable!

We got to make it to Molokini and the snorkel was great that day, lots of ocean life, clear conditions, all around a wonderful day!

We had a great time snorkeling at the Molokini Crater. The staff was all really friendly and helpful. The boat was perfect for young kids and they loved the snorkel boards that the boat provided. The food was delicious and the slide and glass bottom portion provided lots of entertainment when we were done snorkeling. We saw whales on the way out and turtles on the way back. We'd definitely use this company again!

Tour guide was very attentive and informative. The ferry ride was great but no chargers so make sure your prepared with things for your phones!

Harbor is a bit hard to figure out, but the tour was fabulous!

Shout out to the staff member who held the ferry in time for us to get on at 6:30am. * Ensure to get to the docks at least 1/2 before as parking, and finding your meeting point, isn’t simple. Something we didn’t do 😞
Russ was a great tour guide who showed us how beautiful, and peaceful, Lanai is. Would have loved to see the inside of the Four Seasons Hotel.
Eat at the Blue Ginger Restaurant. Home cooked, fresh food!
We initially booked to stay the full day on Lanai, but was able to get an early ferry back.

The staff was so friendly and entertaining and it was a comfy ride, the food and drinks were great!

We arrived at the aquarium parking lot at 7:15, paid for parking (just to be safe, for 5 hours), and headed to the shop at 7:30.
From the parking lot, go down the stairs behind the sign, and the shop is on the right side.
There are various tours available, so we got a bit confused.
We were the only Japanese people there.
It was a large boat, so I didn't get seasick and it was comfortable.
We encountered a lot of whales, but only saw their tails and backs.
However, I would love to go again.

7:15に水族館の駐車場に着き、パーキングでお金を払い(念のため5時間分)、7:30にショップへ
駐車場から案内板の裏の階段を降りて右側がショップです。
色んなツアーがあるので、ちょっと迷いました。
日本人は私達だけでした。
大きな船なので酔うこともなく、快適でした。
鯨には沢山遭遇しましたが、しっぽと背中ぐらいかな。
でも、また乗りたいです。

Most important to me!

1. Always reliable
2. Very knowledgeable and courteous personnel
3. Always willing to assist those in need

Great tour! But I think a lot of it had to do with Josh! He honestly made it so fun, going into great detail about the island, stories about how he grew up and things his grandpa would tell him! He always made sure we were happy with what we were doing and where we were going! We saw so much and learned so much! Yay Josh! Lanai truly felt like a small cute community with lots of character and history!

the snorkeling was incredible and the crew was fantastic!! would recommend them 1000% and take the tour every trip to maui. thank you

My then girlfriend (and very soon to be wife) and I took this day trip for the first time in 1985. On this outing in 2025 we marked our 40th wedding anniversary. It was wonderful then and still is a wonderful way to spend a day in paradise. The crew was amazing. Between their stories about the sea life and history of the islands and the family run business, their humor and incredibly attentive and diligent work ethic, they truly make you feel special!

We had an amazing time on the boat. The food was delicious, the crew was amazing, and we saw whales. We were traveling with a 4 and 6 year old and they had all the perfect amenities for kids. 10/10!

Our ferry rides over to Lanai and back were great and the return was the best. We had one of the best sunsets ever looking back over the water with colorful cloud layers over Lanai. Also lots of whale activity in the morning and evening.

Josh was the best guide. Very memorable.
Saw everything up close. Shipwreck beach and Valley of the gods.

Josh was our guide for the morning and shared great information about Lanai City, the Ship Wreck, and Garden of the Gods.

Josh was amazing! Knowledgeable, patient, kind, accommodating. He knew just where to go and provided personal as well as historical information. We loved his tour!

wonderful crew and our family had a great day getting to snorkel with just our family!

They did a traditional thanksgiving dinner spread, it was so awesome! The sunset was as well gorgeous.

We got a mom and her 2 babies on our tour, it was so amazing!

Our guide was very helpful and informative, bringing a lot of history and information about the island! The island however was not as pretty as Maui!

Really wonderful views in the water at Molokini! A must see when on Maui :)
