Four Winds Afternoon Snorkel Cruise & Turtle Watching Tour with Taco Bar Lunch

Great crew great adventure great location

Reviewed by: Cathi

The crew was great. I was only in the water for about 10 minutes. I was struggling and a little nervous but very quickly I was asked if I needed help by a blonde female ( forgot her name) she was very calm which calmed me down and guided me back to the boat

Discover Lanai Day Trip from Maui, Hulopoe Bay Snorkeling & Sweetheart Rock

Snorkel and Beach Day trip to Lanai

Reviewed by: Jerry

The day with the Trilogy people was amazing. We had great weather with little wind for the trip over to the island. We were able to pick a pod of dolphins along the south shore of Lanai. Captain Raquel and her crew on April 8 onboard Trilogy IV took care of everything. They were active to check on everyone to be sure that all were doing well. Beach time on Lanai was incredible. Snorkel time over the reef in the middle of the bay allowed lots of fish viewing time. Crew was active to assist everyone into the water and was watchful as we were in the water to stay safe. Plantation lunch was excellent and was served comfortably in the Pavilion. Our return trip was comfortable in spite of the waves being more vigorous.
We have been to Lanai with other companies. Captain Raquel and her crew delivered incredible service and made the day very enjoyable.
Leave early to avoid traffic issues even if arriving for the 6:00AM check in. We parked in the Republic lot on Dickenson and had a short walk to the check in area.

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Pleasant, relaxing

Reviewed by: Oscareen

The crew was awesome! The snorkeling was a great experience. Yes, it’s VERY EARLY in the morning, but with the air temperature being cooler, the water feels warmer, which is a plus.
Saw many different kinds of fishes, and a turtle and an octopus.
It was relaxing just floating there and watching the ocean life.

Alii Kai Molokini Snorkel Cruise - Luxury All-Inclusive Catamaran with Breakfast, Lunch & Open Bar

In love with this company!

Reviewed by: Angelina23

What an amazing tour! The breakfast buffet surpassed any boat breakfast I have literally ever had, and I was not expecting that at all. Afterwards you hop in the water and swim at the first dive spot, and that is nothing short of breath taking truly. Molokini Crater is something everyone should see. The lunch is super delicious too, and the crew just makes the trip 10000/10 times better. Cant thank you guys enough for this amazing trip for my friends and I and I can't wait to be back. Strongly thinking you guys are the bests company around so far.

Expeditions Lanai Ferry Boat Ticket from Maui | Round-Trip & One-Way Rides

One day trip to lanai

Reviewed by: Yari

I booked a day trip to lanai with my family. I issued on doing a bit or research before hand as to what to expect once I landed in lanai. As I get to the booth to get my tickets for the ferry the lady who attended us was amazing at answering my questions. She told me I should of before hand rented a vehicle as where you dock is a little out of the way where you rent vehicle in order to enjoy the island. You also most reserve a spot to ride from the dock to the car rentals. She gave me contact numbers for me to call in order to see if there were any more available. Talk about stressful moments. While inside the ferry most of the vehicles were reserved and fortunately my last attempt was a success I was able to reserve a spot for transportation and rent a keep. Do your research before hand.

The group was amazing and very informative

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

I would, hands down, do this again!

Reviewed by: Ashley

I would, hands down, do this again. The crew was amazing, friendly and great with the 2 kids my group had with (ages 1 and 3). My son did snuba, said it was awesome and the instructor was great and friendly, easy to chat with. The Captain stopped to let us see whales (baby, mom and escort), it was absolutely great. There was a very knowledgeable crew member who gave tid bits of facts throughout the tour and another crew member who helped point out turtles a well as gave pointers for going under the water. Food was good too. Nothing fancy, but it did not disappoint. Not to mention mai tais were delicious. Can't wait to book again!

Expeditions Lanai Ferry Boat Ticket from Maui | Round-Trip & One-Way Rides

Trip to Lana’i

Reviewed by: Jana

Die Fähre nach Lana’i war pünktlich und gut. Jedoch war es unpraktisch, dass die gekauften Tickets zuerst gezeigt werden mussten und dann neue Tickets verteilt wurden anstatt, dass diese Online gezeigt werden konnten. Etwas flexiblere Rückreise wäre Praktisch, anstatt nur genau zu der Ausgewählten Zeit. Sonst war der Ausflug gut und hat sich gelohnt.

Molokini Snorkel Tour & Swim with Turtles Cruise - PacWhale Eco-Adventures

Great snorkeling cruise!

Reviewed by: Anh

This was a great snorkeling cruise that also supports the Pacific Whale Foundation. In total we had about 2 hours of snorkeling time at two different locations (one being Molokini). We didn't get to see any sea turtles but there were plenty of fishes and coral reefs. You'll get a light breakfast and lunch provided. We also saw a lot of whales since it was whale watching season.

Would recommend

Reviewed by: Radhika

My husband and I did the 2 hour Calypso whale watching on Feb 22nd and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The guide was very informative and told a lot of fun facts about mother and baby whales. We saw many whales as this is the time when mother whales come down to Hawaii waters to give birth and to train their babies.
The boat was big with comfortable seating and was clean. The bartenders were great too and made some amazing drinks for very fair prices.
