Maalaea

Josh gave us a great tour of Lani. We enjoyed seeing the beach and features of the island.

This was a standard whale watching experience. Boat was nice and clean. Crew was friendly and fun . We didn’t have much luck seeing whales, but it was early in the migration season. If nothing else then it a a nice boat ... moreride around beautiful Maui.

We had a fully handicap person with us and the crew was great. They lifted her, in her electric wheelchair, onto the boat. She had room to move around the boat with ease. The bathrooms were not accessible but that was ok... more. The crew kept checking on her and made sure she was comfortable. It was a good experience, something that she wouldn't normally have been able to do. We were able to snorkel (not her), and didn't have to worry about her not being comfortable. We did not see any turtles, but got to see a small whale.

Booked the SUV trip around Lana'i. Our driver, Josh, was fun (even with a hurt ankle). He was informative and had loads of family and local stories. We lucked out with a very clear day. Saw a dolphin, whales, turkeys, de... moreer, frankolins, and a beautiful views.

Right from the original phone call, until we were dropped back off at the ferry. The staff was great. Their response time is quick. The instructions they sent are very clear, we had no questions to where to go, what was going to happen, etc.

My total cost for this excursion was $242.30. It was not worth that price. The crew was sarcastic and snappy. They did lighten up as the morning went on, but my first impression stayed. Fortunately I’m a seasoned swimmer... more and snorkeling/snuba is easy, so I didn’t require any assistance. Lastly, it’s a big money grab without much service in return. I understand they are a business, but I cannot understand why they can’t pay their employees? Why do they guilt trip you into having to tip every chance they get? Even the emails leading up to it state the expected gratuity. TL:DR Molokini crater is amazing - you should go! Unless you’re dying to try snuba, then go with a different company and have fun.

Josh was an excellent tour guide for the half day 4x4 trekker!! Enjoyed the views as much as the stories!! Snorkeling was excellent!! Been told all you need is one day to see Lana’i but he changed our minds and we will d... moreefinitely be back!!
