Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry

Hidden Gem

Reviewed by: SNelson

Bruce was awesome. Swept us up at the marina and asked if there was something in particular we didn't want to miss. We were open to anything so off we went. Nice hidden beaches. Great views. Lots of places we could have never found (or wouldn't dared) if we were touring alone. Bruce was so informative and was just comfortable to be around. The only improvement would have been the 4x4 that was advertised. The Yukon we went around in wasn't the best ride and that's fine but all the advertisements showed a very different vehicle.

Thanks Bruce for a great day!!!

Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Cruise with Food & Open Bar - Pride of Maui

Great overall adventure

Reviewed by: Lane W

Great attentive staff. Great venues at Molokini and Turtletown. I swam with a turtle. The food was great- best burger I've had in a while. The boat ride was great. I liked having the option of being out of the sun on the main deck or outside on the the deck or up on top and there was plenty of seating. It was nice having a restroom available. We really enjoyed it and I would highly recommend this trip for all ages. There was a toddler on board and some older people who did not swim but stayed on the boat and still had the option to view fish through the glass bottom window.

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ ＜朝・昼食付／現地集合＞

Transparency! 透明度！

Reviewed by: ちゃお

I participated in a snorkeling trip to Molokini Island. I had requested transportation, and they arrived on time, allowing us to board the boat without any issues. It took about an hour by boat to reach Molokini Island, and shortly after boarding, we had breakfast. During the trip, Takako gathered us for an explanation. Since we weren't sitting the whole time, I didn't get seasick.

I was incredibly impressed not by the fish, but by the clarity of the water at Molokini Island! I've been to various seas both domestically and internationally, but I've never seen such clear water; it was amazing. It was so clear that it took my breath away.

Afterward, we had lunch, and the burgers we ate on the boat were exceptional! We moved to another spot, and Takako guided us to see sea turtles, so we were able to see them multiple times. Additionally, when we went, dolphins showed themselves to us!

There were many foreigners on the boat, but Takako was always attentive, so it was perfectly fine. I would love to request this again when I visit Maui.

モロキニ島シュノーケルに参加しました。
送迎もお願いしておりましたが時間通りに来て下さって無事船に乗る事が出来ました。
モロキニ島までは船で一時間程で、乗船してすぐ朝食、途中でタカコさんに召集され説明を受けました。座りっぱなしではないので船酔いはしませんでした。
モロキニ島はお魚ではなくその透明度に非常に感動しました！
国内や海外の様々な海に行きましたが、こんなに透明な海は初めてで素晴らしかったです。
透明過ぎて身がすくむ程です。
その後昼食があり船の上で食べるバーガーは別格です！
別ポイントに移動し海ガメもタカコさんが場所を教えて下さるので何度も見られました。
また、私達が行った時はイルカが姿を見せてくれました！
船には外国人も沢山いますが、タカコさんが常に気を使って下さるので全然大丈夫です。
またマウイ島に行く際はお願いしたいです。

It was okay even though I couldn't swim. 泳げなくても大丈夫でした

Reviewed by: TMAF

I was initially hesitant to join this tour because I can't swim at all and I'm nearsighted, so I can't see anything without my glasses. However, I participated at the request of my companion. When I asked in advance if it would be okay, I received a response from a Japanese guide named Takako, who assured me that floatation devices and nearsighted snorkeling gear would be provided, so it would be fine. On the day of the tour, she kindly instructed us on how to use the floatation devices on the water, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling somehow. Although we only snorkeled at Molokini due to high waves that day and didn't see many fish or turtles, the beautiful, clear blue sea was stunning. Thank you very much.

私は全く泳げない上に、近視でメガネなしでは何も見えないので、このツアーの参加に前向きではありませんでしたが、連れの希望で参加しました。事前に大丈夫か聞いたところ、タカコさんという日本人ガイドの方が、浮き具や近視のスノーケルが用意されているので大丈夫とご返答いただき、当日も、浮き具の使い方などを海上で丁寧に指導していただき、何とかスノーケリングを楽しむことができました。当日は波が高いとのことでモロキニ一箇所だけのスノーケリングでしたが、魚や亀などはあまり見れませんでしたが、美しい、透明度の高い青い海でした。ありがとうございました。

I visited Lanai Island for the first time. There was a Hawaii I had never seen before, and it felt like being on a completely different planet. The guide only spoke English, but Bruce, our guide, spoke in clear English that was easy for us to understand, so we didn't have any trouble. He provided a lot of detailed information about the history of Lanai Island and its future, which was very educational.

I participated with my child. I used to be a diver, but I hadn't been in the ocean for quite a long time, so I was worried about my physical condition. However, with a Japanese guide who provided thorough explanations and plenty of floatation devices, I was able to swim without any issues. We also saw three sea turtles. While I didn't feel the same excitement as I had when I saw many corals and fish during my previous diving experiences, the guide was pleasant, and we had a fun time.

The crew was amazing and fun. They were very knowledgeable of the island and surrounding area. We had an amazing time snorkeling and the crew made us feel very comfortable and at easy in the water. It seems as if we were also eating during the cruise before, between and after snorkeling at the two spots chosen for the morning cruise. The end of the cruise was awesome because the captain and crew raised the sails and we sailed back to harbor by the wind. It was amazing watching the crew work at raising the sails.

The tour was a great experience. Definitely learned a lot about the island and saw places we would have never found on our own. The only complaint my group had was the political commentary from the tour guide. He started early on referencing those "damn democrats" and a negative reference to ACLU. Being a group of very liberal people, we found it offensive but did not say anything for fear that he would not provide as good of a tour. This would have been a great experience without this extra commentary.

It was amazing! 最高でした！

Reviewed by: ami

The snorkeling points were in two locations, both with very clear and beautiful waters! I was able to see lovely fish and sea turtles. However, since there aren't many corals, those who have diving experience in places like Palau or Ishigaki may feel that there are fewer fish.

On the boat, breakfast and lunch were provided, and the hamburgers for lunch were really delicious! It might be because we were eating on the boat. They also prepared drinks so we could hydrate whenever we wanted, which was great.

If you're prone to seasickness, it's better to take motion sickness medication. However, in our case, we ended up sleeping soundly on the boat due to the fatigue from our previous travels and the drowsiness from the medication, so we missed some of the scenery.

The boat is equipped with inflatable rings for playing in the water, which anyone can borrow, and there's also a slide on the boat that you can use. The slide drops from quite a height, so I recommend it for those who can swim! ★

シュノーケルポイントは二箇所でどちらで透明度の高い海でとても綺麗でした！
綺麗な魚や海亀にも会えました。
ただし、サンゴが沢山あるわけではないので、パラオや石垣方面でダイビング経験がある方には魚が少ないという印象を持つかもしれません。
船の上では朝食と昼食がでて、昼食のハンバーガーはすごく美味しいです！船の上で食べるからかもしれませんが。
飲み物もいつでも飲めるように準備してくださっていて、こまめな水分補給ができて良かったです。
酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んだ乗った方がいいです。しかし、私たちの場合はそれまでの旅行の疲れと酔い止めの眠気効果で船上で爆睡してしまいましたので、景色が見れなくなることもあります。笑
船の中には海で遊べる浮き輪などを備えてあり、誰でも借りられますし、船には滑り台がついていてそれもできます。滑り台はかなり高いところから落ちるので泳げる方にはオススメです★

It was my first time on Maui, and my first participation in this tour. I went to the meeting place by rental car after checking it out the day before, and then it was time for the tour! However, the lady in the parking lot directed me to a spot that was quite far from the reception. Before boarding, I had to sign a waiver acknowledging that I was responsible for any accidents that might occur. First, we were served light snacks on the boat. Even though I had eaten at the hotel, I couldn't resist and ended up overeating, which made me seasick. During snorkeling at Molokini Island, I accidentally swallowed a lot of seawater. The visibility was indeed excellent. We also got to see sea turtles during our travels. There were some unexpected events, but overall, it was a lot of fun.

I was satisfied. 満足できました。

Reviewed by: ダンヒル

I participated with my wife. There were no other Japanese participants besides us. There were about 15 passengers, mostly couples and newlyweds. It seems that there is a limit on the number of participants, so we were able to use the space comfortably. We could move freely inside the ship, and it was also possible to lie down on the deck. The meals were served buffet-style, and the taste was quite standard.

The ship itself was large and had little sway, so I was able to consume alcohol without feeling seasick. Since we departed during daylight hours, I recommend using sunscreen and a hat (which are provided on board).

Additionally, since the pick-up time to the hotel was around 4:00 PM, it is also possible to participate in this tour after morning activities.

妻と参加しました。自分達以外の参加者で日本の方はおられませんでした。乗客数は15人程度で夫婦や新婚旅行で来られた方が多かったです。おそらく人数制限していると思われ、広々と使うことができました。船内は自由に移動ができ、デッキの上で寝そべることも可能です。食事はビュッフェ形式で、味は一般的なものです。
船自体が大きく、揺れが少なかったのでアルコールを摂取していましたが、船酔いすることもありませんでした。明るい時間帯から出港するため、日焼け止めや(船内に装備されています)帽子の使用をお勧めします。
上記に加え、ホテルまでのお迎えの時刻が16:00前後であったため、午前中のアクティビティの後にこのツアーに参加するといった方法も可能です。

I experienced the best moment ❤️ 最高の瞬間を体験できました❤️

Reviewed by: ゆうなり

This was the only tour I participated in during my first visit to Maui, and I had a wonderful time. I was picked up from the hotel at 6:30 AM and after picking up a few others, we headed to the port. At the port, we signed a waiver before boarding and received our tickets, which were provided in Japanese, so I felt reassured. There were 149 people from various backgrounds that day, but only three groups of five Japanese, including myself. If you line up early for boarding, you can get on the boat sooner and secure your preferred seat.

Depending on the boat you take, this may vary, but for those prone to seasickness, sitting slightly forward in the middle of the lower deck might be best. There are restrooms on both sides of the middle section, which can be left open when not in use, causing some odor, while the back of the middle section had a noticeable gasoline smell from the engine. I’m not very strong with vehicles either, but I didn’t experience any seasickness or motion sickness from the large waves at sea.

Once on board, as I had worried, various explanations were given repeatedly in English. During these times, our guide Takako gathered the Japanese guests and summarized the information in Japanese, which was comforting. The boat had various regulations, but I felt they were taking proper care of everyone’s safety. The light breakfast served after boarding and the hearty hamburger lunch after our stay at Molokini Island were both surprisingly delicious, and I thoroughly enjoyed the unlimited drinks available at the bar until we returned to port after all activities.

If you want to rent underwater cameras or wetsuits for activities, there are rental fees, so it’s a good idea to bring some cash. Items like noodles and life jackets are available for free. There isn’t a safe for valuables on the boat, so you need to manage your belongings yourself. It’s best not to bring more than necessary.

The waters around Molokini Island are very clear, allowing for beautiful views of the fish. The coastline has coral, so you can see fish up close, but be careful not to get too close due to the waves. The seawater isn’t too cold, and the hour of snorkeling flew by. After that, we moved to a spot known for a high encounter rate with sea turtles, which was my main goal. I heard Takako, who was on a surfboard, calling out when she spotted a turtle, and I was able to meet my first turtle. I encountered a total of four turtles of various sizes, and one swam right beside me as I turned, and while I felt I should avoid it, I got so caught up in taking pictures. Of course, Takako gently reminded me afterward, and I apologized. But it was a truly wonderful experience, and I felt lucky and grateful.

As for the schedule, it was roughly as follows, just for reference. Please consider this as an approximate outline of what happened this time: 30 minutes for pickup and travel to the port, 1 hour by boat to Molokini Island, 1 hour at the Molokini point, 1 hour to move to the turtle point, 1 hour at the turtle point, 1 hour to return to port, and 30 minutes for the drive back to the hotel. This was the timing with a smooth progression.

During the boat ride and snorkeling, Takako took great care of us. For the pickup on the way back, another Japanese guide (I didn’t catch their name, and I apologize if I forgot) assisted us. Especially on the return, I was the only solo traveler, so I got to sit in the front seat and had a great time chatting along the way. When I mentioned that I hadn’t encountered any turtles near Black Rock close to the hotel, they shared some points where I might be able to see them. I plan to give it a try in the coming days. It was truly a wonderful tour, including the guides, and I would love to join the same tour company again when I come back. Thank you very much.

初めてのマウイ島で、厳選して唯一参加したツアーでしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
朝6時半にホテルに迎えにきてもらい、何人かをピックアップしてから港へ。港では乗船前に規約書にサインして引き換えに乗船券をもらいますが、ちゃんと日本語で書かれたものがあるので安心です。いろんなところから集まったいろんな人種の人々がこの日は149人いましたが、日本人は私を含め、3組5名のみでした。乗船のために並ぶ列は早めに並ぶと、船内へ早く入れるので自分好みの席を確保できます。
乗る船が変われば参考になりませんが、酔いやすい人は揺れにくい下のフロアの真ん中より少し前寄りがベストかもしれません。真ん中両サイドにトイレがあり未使用時には開けっ放しなので臭いが、真ん中より後ろはエンジンのガソリン臭が気になりました。ちなみに私も乗り物にはあまり強くないですが、船酔いも海上での大波が連続することでの波酔いも全くありませんでした。
乗船すると、心配していた通り、いろんな説明が英語で何度もされることに。そういう時はガイドのタカコさんが日本人を集めて、要約して日本語で説明してくれたので安心でした。船にはいろいろ規定がありますが、一人一人の安全に対してきちんとしてくれてるなあと思いました。乗船後に出た軽い朝食も、モロキニ島滞在の後の移動時間に出たガッツリハンバーガーの昼食も予想以上に美味しく、全てのアクティビティが終わった後の帰港するまでにバーでオーダーできる飲み放題のアルコールもたっぷり楽しめました。
アクティビティ用の水中カメラやウエットスーツなどをレンタルしたい場合はレンタル料がかかるので、多少のお金は持って行った方が良いと思います。マスクやフィン以外でも、ヌードルやライフジャケットなどの小物は無料で貸してもらえます。船内に貴重品入れがあるわけではないので、持ち物は自己管理。必要以上のものは持っていかないのが無難です。
モロキニ島周辺は、透明度が高く、魚がキレイに見られます。海岸沿いはサンゴがあるので魚を近くで見られますが、波があるので近づきすぎには注意してください。海水もさほど冷たくなく、シュノーケリング時間の約1時間があっという間でした。その後、私的には本命だったウミガメの遭遇率が高いポイントへ移動。サーフボードに乗ったタカコさんがウミガメを見つけて周りに知らせてくれてた声を聞いて、最初のウミガメに出会うことができました。その後も合計4匹の大小様々なウミガメに出会い、1匹は横を向いたらすぐそばを泳いでいて、避けなきゃいけないと思いつつ、写真を撮ることに夢中になってしまいました。もちろん後でタカコさんに優しくたしなめられました、ごめんなさい。でも、とても素敵な時間を過ごせたポイント。幸運だったなと感謝しました。
スケジュールはおおよそですが、参考までに。あくまで今回はこんな感じだったという程度に考えてください。ピックアップ&港への車移動に30分、船でモロキニ島までの移動に1時間、モロキニ島ポイント1時間、ウミガメポイントへ移動に1時間、ウミガメポイント1時間、帰港するのに1時間、港からホテルまでの車移動に30分。スムーズに進行してこのくらいってことで。
船の中やシュノーケリング中はガイドのタカコさんにいろいろとお世話してもらいました。行き帰りのピックアップでは、別の日本人ガイドさん(お名前は聞かなかったと思いますが、失念したならごめんなさい)にお世話していただきました。特に帰りは1人客が私だけだったので、助手席に座らせてもらい、道すがらいろんな話が出来て楽しかったです。ホテルの近くのブラックロックでまだ亀に遭遇できないと話すと、会えそうなポイントを教えてくれました。明日以降チャレンジしたいと思います。ガイドさんたちを含め本当に素敵なツアーだったので、また次に来た時は、同じツアー会社の企画に参加したいなと思います。ありがとうございました。

I boarded a boat with people from various countries, and the Japanese guide was very considerate, providing the right information to ensure we had a comfortable experience. I can speak a little English, but I was really glad to have the Japanese guide with us.

The water clarity around Molokini Island was breathtaking, and I was able to see a lot of tropical fish. We also went snorkeling at a spot with sea turtles, but it was unfortunate that many people rushed to the turtle spot at the same time, making it quite crowded underwater. The turtles might have been bothered by it too.

I drove to the meeting point with a rental car, but I had trouble because I didn't have a clear map of the boat's location at the port. However, I received clear instructions in English over the phone, so even though I was late, I was glad I made it in time for the departure.

色々な国の方と一緒に船に乗りますが、日本語のガイドの方がとても気を利かせてくださり、快適に過ごすことができるように適切に情報を教えてくださいました。多少英語ができますが、日本語のガイドの方がいて本当に良かったと思いました。
モロキニ島周囲の水の透明度は感動的で、熱帯魚も沢山見ることができました。海亀のいるスポットでもシュノーケリングしましたが、大勢が一斉に亀スポットに向かったために海中で芋洗い状態になったのが残念でした。亀も迷惑だったかも。
レンタカーで集合場所に行きましたが、きちんと港での船の場所の地図を把握できていなかったため、港に着いてから困りました。電話でわかりやすい英語で教えていただけたので時間には遅刻してしまいましたが、出航には間に合って良かったです。
