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. If you're going to Maui, I definitely think you should make the trip to Lanai Island!
初めてラナイ島へ行きました。
そこには見たことのないハワイがあり、まるで違う惑星にいるかの様に思える場所がありました。
ガイドさんは英語のみですが、あまり話せない私たちに合わせて、ガイドのブルースがわかりやすい英語で話してくれるので、困る事もありませんし、ラナイ島の歴史や今後の行方など、とても詳しく教えてくださり、ラナイ島を知る勉強になりました。
マウイ島まで行くなら、絶対にラナイ島まで足を運んで欲しいと思います!

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.

The day was spent in a most enjoyable way.
We started on time and went to first snorkeling spot after about one hour cruise. Since we left at 700 am, (early in the morning) they gave us good breakfast. The water is blue and beautiful. We saw some flying fish while sailing which I got amazed. They have wings(?!), come out of water, fly for about three feet above the surface and go into water. It was amazing to see a fish with wings. They clearly flew and not just jump in and out of water.
The captain gave a 5 min lesson on snorkeling 101. It was full of very helpful tips and this greatly helped to snorkel without fear. The gears were provided. By the end of the day I became an expert. This is an example, how useful the people are to help you whatever you need in the trip.
The snorkeling part was very enjoyable and after about one hour, we were allowed to jump into the ocean from the second level of the cruise ship via a slide. That was so cool.
Next we went to a second place and we got to see lots of turtles. Some turtles came to top of water, so you can see them from the boat. We snorkeled and also jumped into water from the second level of cruise via slide for about one hour. It was fun. Lots of foods, drinks were given. We returned by 200 pm. What a day to spend.

We had a great time on this cruise. Everything about it went basically as planned. We went to two different snorkeling spots where we had an hour or a little more to swim around checking out the coral reef and the marine life. In the beginning, they had a little breakfast that included muffins, fruits and different types of juice. After the first snorkeling spot, they made chicken breasts, hot dogs and burgers patties for lunch which were also very good. They didn't have KETCHUP!!! Which was a pretty big bummer, but the food was good and there was plenty of it. They also handed out bags of chips and pretty much everyone was able to get a second bag. The best part about the cruise was the dolphins that we saw. We spent about 20-30 minutes watching a pack of dolphins swim around and with out boat. They got up so close, it was amazing. My nephew and I sat at the front of the boat and actually got yelled at by the captain, but it was definitely worth it because my feet were about 10 feet away from touching the dolphins they were so close. Then at the last snorkeling spot, we got to swim with sea turtles (only noticed one when I was swimming but it did get pretty close), and a 6 foot long shark that was laying underneath the wreckage we were snorkeling above. It was pretty awesome and scary all at the same time. The shark was sleeping (or dead) because it didn't move and there was no danger, but I still didn't want to take my eyes off him! The boat provided the snorkel equipment including the liquid to keep your goggles clear. There is also a slide that goes off the side of the boat which was really fun to go off of! The crew ended the cruise with a free alcoholic beverage for each adult over 21 years old, and it was very tasty and had a lot of alcohol in it! I believe this was well worth the money.

Maui was my first solo trip. I love snorkeling, and I felt like I could enjoy it alone, so I decided to go for it. Since it was May, it was bright, and I couldn't see the sunrise... I stayed in Lahaina, so I scouted the meeting place the day before and found it easily. The weather was great all day, and during the cruise, it felt nice. The cinnamon rolls that everyone recommended were delicious (though I got a bit tired of them halfway through...), and there were sandwiches that looked tasty, but I thought I shouldn't eat too much. The snorkeling was amazing; I got to see lots of fish! It was fun (^_-)-☆ I also joined an island tour, and we traveled around in a van! English was quite difficult, but I enjoyed the peaceful Lanai Island and highly recommend it. When we returned, it was lunchtime with salad, yakisoba, BBQ chicken, and so on. Well, it was just ordinary taste. There were no other solo travelers, and no Japanese people, but I still had a great time! The return trip was quite bumpy, but that was fun too. It got better once we raised the sails! I only had one beer. One of the crew members remembered my name, so I didn't feel lonely at all. I splurged on the boat dive and went to Lanai Island, and I'm glad I did (・ω・)ノ
マウイは初めての1人旅でした。シュノーケルも大好きだし一人でも楽しめるような気がしたので思い切って参加することにしました。5月だったのでさすがに明るくて日の出は見れないですが。。。 ラハイナインに泊まってたので集合場所は前日に下見に行ったしすぐに分かりました
。1日中お天気もよくてクルーズ中も気持ちよくみなさんおすすめのシナモンロールもおいしく
(途中で飽きましたが…) サンドイッチとかもあり、おいしそうだったのですが、あんまり食べ過ぎてもしんどくなりそうだったので。シュノーケルはやっぱりいっぱいのおさかなさんたち見れました! 楽しかった(^_-)-☆ アイランドツアーにも参加してバンで回ってくれました! 英語がなかなか難しいですが… のどかなラナイ島を楽しめてお勧めします。戻ったらランチタイムです。サラダとか焼きそばBBQチキンなどです。まあ普通の味。1人で来てる方もいなくて日本人も0でも楽しめました! 帰りは結構揺れます。それもまた楽しかったり。帆を上げたらましになってました! ビール1本だけにしときました。クルーの1人の人が名前を覚えてくれてて1人でもさみしくなかったですよー ボートダイブしたりラナイ島にも行けて奮発したけど行って良かった (・ω・)ノ

This was a fun boat trip for the family. The captain was knowledgeable and we saw many dolphins. That was probably the highlight of the trip. Due to rougher waters, we snorkeled in some different areas than normal. One was one a reef off of Lanai and the other was over a ship that had been sunk in deeper waters. The reef was Okay, but we saw more fish and more variety of sea life snorkeling off the beaches. The ship was too deep to dive to so pretty much we were just floating above it. The breakfast and lunch was good and there was plenty of food.

I traveled from Oahu to Maui, then to Lanai, and back to Oahu. It was a trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, visiting places filled with memories. There are no direct flights from Maui to Lanai since they are close together. Taking a route via Oahu would take an outrageous amount of time and money. This ferry is inexpensive and offers about an hour of travel. The journey while enjoying the surrounding islands, blue skies, and blue seas was very pleasant.
オアフ島からマウイ島へ、そしてラナイ島へ行って再びオアフ島へ戻るルートで旅行をしました。結婚25周年記念の旅行で、思い出の地を巡る旅行でした。マウイ島からラナイ島へは近いので航空機便が有りません。オアフ島経由だととんでもない時間とお金がかかります。このフェリーだと料金も安く1時間程度の船旅。周りの島々と青い空、青い海を見ながらの航行はとても快適でした。

During my recent trip to Maui, I took a day trip to Lanai, a place I had always wanted to visit. Since there weren't any tours to Lanai that fit my plans, I used the ferry that departs from Lahaina Harbor. There is a paid shuttle available at the port of Lanai, which I used to explore Lanai City and the Four Seasons Hotel. Next time, I definitely want to stay on Lanai and enjoy a more leisurely visit.
今回マウイ島に旅行に行った際、いつか行ってみたいと思っていたラナイ島に日帰りで行きました。自分のプランに合うラナイ島ツアーはなかったため、ラハイナ港から出ているフェリーを利用しました。ラナイ島の港には有料のシャトルが出ており、そのシャトルでラナイシティやフォーシーズンホテル内を散策しました。今度はぜひラナイ島で宿泊してゆっくりと滞在したいと思いました。

I visited Maui for the first time and decided to choose the Trilogy tour to visit Lanai, which only has luxurious resorts and can only be accessed through excursions. I stayed near Lahaina on Maui Island partly because it made it easier to participate in this tour. The price was a bit steep, but the boat's facilities were good, and the timing for snacks and fruit drinks was great! The staff was very friendly and professional! During the cruise, we even encountered a pod of dolphins, which was very exciting on board.
The reconfirmation, gathering, and everything on the boat was in English, but since we were the only Asians on that trip, they were quite attentive to us. The private beach on Lanai had a good state of coral preservation, and snorkeling from the beach was quite good. I read experiences from previous visitors and asked beforehand to be notified so I wouldn't miss anything. The island tour included explanations about Lanai's industries and historical sites, which were well done (it was in English, so I couldn't catch all the details, but with a guidebook or smartphone, it was manageable). At the end, there was applause in the vehicle. The local town felt like something out of a Western, and it was at an elevation just slightly lower than Takao Mountain in Tokyo, making it feel like a small highland. Enjoying both the highland and the beach was a double treat.
When we returned from the town visit, we had an early dinner? Or a late lunch? It felt like a 3 PM dinner, and the BBQ only had chicken, which made me think it didn't quite match the tour price, but considering it as a late lunch, I was fully satisfied! Notably, the sunset during the return cruise was spectacular! The town of Lahaina bathed in the sunset, along with Iao Valley and Haleakalā Mountain, created the most gorgeous sunset.
初めてマウイ島を訪れ、、豪華リゾートしか無いラナイ島は、エクスカーションで行くしかないなと、トリロジーのツアーを選択しました。今回マウイ島ステイを、ラハイナ近くにしましたのも、このツアーに参加しやすいからという理由もありました。お値段はちょっと張りましたが、船の設備は良いし、軽食やフルーツ飲み物のタイミングもGood!スッタフは、とてもフレンドリーで、プロフェッショナル!!行のクルーズでは、イルカの群れにも会え船内大興奮。
リコンファームも集合も船内も全部英語だったけど、私たちの参加した回は、東洋人らしき人は私たちだけだったので、かなり気を付けていてくれました。
ラナイ島のプライベート感覚のビーチで、サンゴの保存状態も良く、ビーチからのシュノーケリングとしてはかなり良かったです。前の方の体験談を読んで、聞き逃すといけないので事前に声をかけるよう頼んでおきました。島内観光は、ラナイ島の産業や歴史名所など、説明もばっちりで(英語なので、細かいところは聞き取れませんが、ガイドブックや、スマホがあれば、大丈夫)最後は車内で拍手が起きてました。ローカルな町は、西部劇に出てくるようで、標高が高尾山(東京の)よりちょっと低いくらいのところなので、ちょっとした高原です。高原とビーチ一粒で2度おいしい。タウンビジットから戻ると早めのデイナー?遅めの昼食?が3時デイナーと思うとBBQが、チキンだけだったので、ちょっとツアーの値段と見合わないかなとは思いましたが、遅めのランチと思えば充分満足!!特筆すべきは、帰りのクルーズのサンセット!!
夕焼けに染まるラハイナの町と、イアオ渓谷、ハレアカラ山最高のゴージャスサンセットでした。
