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

Lanai half day trek with ferry ride.

Reviewed by: Mike and Damaris

Lanai and Lanai City remind me of a Hawaiian version of Mayberry. Everyone knows one another and the slower pace and smaller scale was refreshing and brought back memories of my own childhood. Our guide, Joshua was a native and we enjoyed talking about the island, the State of Hawaii, and the state of the current political situation.

The wife and I enjoyed ourselves as we trekked across old pineapple fields seeing quail, turkeys, pheasant and deer. Their "Garden of the Gods" was a trip to a Martian landscape and afforded us a great view of Molokai. My only gripe is that we ran out of time and I wanted to see more.

Day trip to Lanai

Reviewed by: Bob

Can't say enough good things about the day with captain Turtle and crew. The crew was so attentive and fun. The breakfast and coffee that was served on way out to island was delicious. What really impressed me was that the crew remembered everyone by name thru out trip. The island of Lanai was as beautiful as the pictures. On a personal note I'd want to thank the crew especially Steve. I had an accident in the water and had to be taken to hospital. Steve went with my family and never left. Fortunately I was able to travel back and take boat home with captain Turtle. The boat and crew were amazing. If you want to book a trip to Lanai I strongly recommend Trilogy with captain Turtle.

Unforgettable Lanai Experience!!

Reviewed by: Kat and Vinny

Our tour of Lanai with Josh was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, he made the experience unforgettable. Josh’s friendly demeanor and deep knowledge of the island’s history and culture truly set this tour apart. He shared fascinating stories that really brought the island to life, and his passion for Lanai was contagious. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re looking for an enjoyable experience, Josh is your guy! And we most definitely will be back!! Thank you!!

We had a great experience touring Lanai! We feel that we really got to see the whole island on our tour. We visited Lanai City, Shipwreck Beach, Garden of the Gods, the Cat Sanctuary, and stopped for beautiful photo opps around the island.

ラナイ島行きフェリーチケット 古代ハワイアンの伝説が残る島へ<片道・往復/マアラエア港発着>

It's the best memory, including all the happenings. ハプニングも込みで最高の想い出です

Reviewed by: タンタン

I took a day trip to Lanai Cat Sanctuary, using the ferry that departs Maui at 6:30 AM and returns from Lanai at 5:30 PM.

Both on the way there and back, you just need to show the reservation email or state your name at the boarding area, and the staff will quickly confirm and issue your ticket using a tablet. The ferry has plenty of seating, and they broadcast what seems to be a local Hawaiian TV station.

I didn't feel much on the way there, but on the return trip, the waves were higher in the evening, causing the ferry to sway significantly, and I experienced severe motion sickness. According to my family, there is a part where the ferry briefly goes out into open water, which can change the tide flow suddenly.

When I immediately told the staff that I felt unwell, they handed me a bag and instructed me to "go out to the deck." Many passengers followed suit, so it seems that motion sickness is quite common. I recommend taking motion sickness medication beforehand.

Once I got to the deck, it was difficult to even reach the restroom, and I spent about 30 minutes hunched over with my face in the bag. However, a crew member, who seemed to be the captain, kindly gave me a bottle of water and said, "Putting this on the back of your neck will help." Unfortunately, I still felt unwell, but I was relieved that the crew was completely accustomed to dealing with seasick passengers and treated everyone calmly and kindly.

It was an intense experience, but despite the mishaps, my trip to Lanai has become a wonderful memory, and I definitely want to visit again. While it seems there is also access by plane, I would absolutely choose to take the ferry again, prepared for motion sickness.

ラナイ・キャット・サンクチュアリ目当ての日帰り旅で、朝6時30分マウイ島発、夕方17時半ラナイ島発の便を利用しました。

行きも帰りも乗り場で予約時のメールを見せるか、名前を名乗るとすぐにスタッフがタブレットで確認して発券してくれます。船内は客席も十分にあり、ハワイのローカル局と思われるTVを放送しています。

行きはあまり感じなかったのですが、帰りは夕方で波が高くなるため大きく船が揺れ、ひどい船酔いを経験しました。家族いわく一瞬外洋に出る部分があるので潮の流れが一瞬で変わってしまうそうです。

すぐに「気分が悪い」とスタッフに伝えると、袋を渡され「デッキに出るといい」と指示されました。私の後にも続々と乗客が出てきたので、かなりの確率で船酔いが起こると思われます。酔い止めを事前に飲んでおくのをお勧めします。
いざデッキに出るとトイレにまでたどり着くことも困難で、ずっと袋に顔を突っ込んだまま30分ほどうずくまっていましたが、船長と思しきクルーの方が「これを首の後ろにつけると気持ちがいいよ」とペットボトルの水をくださいました。あいにくずっと気分は悪いままでしたが、船酔いする乗客にクルーも完全に慣れっこな様子で、皆落ち着いて優しく対応してくれたことにホッとしました。

壮絶な体験ではありましたが、ハプニングも込みでラナイ島行きは最高の想い出で必ず再訪したい場所になりました。飛行機でのアクセスも可能なようですが、船酔い覚悟でまた絶対フェリーで臨みたいです。

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

Great day trip to another island!

Reviewed by: Jessie

Michael (Mike) was our tour guide and created an exceptional experience for us. He was very welcoming, building rapport almost seemed second nature for him. He knew how to keep the audience engaged during the entire experience. The ride to pick up and start the event was just about the right length of time. I especially liked the fact that he could use a microphone while driving and that everyone in the vehicle could hear him. My family had our eyes opened on the lush landscape, history, and culture that Hawaii has to offer. Mike ensured that every angle was covered, and I honestly wish we could have strapped an audio recorder to him so we could capture all that he had to share. We all had ample time at the stops for swimming and pics. Mike was even nice enough to make an additional jump off the waterfall cliff with my go pro as I wasn’t brave enough to take that plunge. Our only constructive feedback on this event would be to tighten up the “meet up” process at the local shops. We were unsure where or how we needed to check in. Once we saw the white van arrive with the logo we understood.

The trip was excellent. Parking at the Maalea harbor dock is a pain. In the future tell your clients to get the ParkWhiz app on their phone You can pay for close up parking on this app. The code reader at the dock is crappy. Our Lanai on site guide, Russ was a wealth of information and had as much fun with us and the other couple as we did with him and the tour. A nice day was had by all.

Kindest crew in Maui!

Reviewed by: Denise and Melanie

This day trip to Lanai’i was an experience my wife and I will never forget! Captain Joe and his crew are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and attentive! On the way we were able to spot a manta ray just as we left the dock and several whales on the way to Lanai’i where we got off the boat and snorkeled. We were also served a delicious lunch! Check out the photos the photographer takes too. She is awesome!

We’d like to send a special shout-out to Coby aka “Utah” who wins the Kindest Crew-member award for ensuring I was safe and still able to participate so my wife could fully enjoy snorkeling! We can’t tell you how much that meant to us, thanks again!

Easy way to see Lana'i

Reviewed by: Beth H

The early morning ferry was a smooth ride to the island. We were met by our guide, Russ, for the half day tour and along with another couple made our way into town to pick up a light breakfast at the local coffee spot. We stopped at Garden of the Gods which is like being on a whole different planet. The views were outstanding! The red dirt road out the GoG is rough and we were glad to have someone who was familiar with the area driving. We went on to see Shipwreck Beach. Again the dirt roads out to the beach were rough and even the Jeep tours from the Four Seasons were going at a snails pace while we manuvered our way around then. We parked in an area just shy of Shipwreck Beach where our guide's family had once had land, where some of the buildings still stand and walked the quiet beach strewn with old lava flows and had a good view of the wreck. Russ showed us how to tell if a coconut washed up on the beach was still good or waterlogged and even opened one up for us...it was a little old but still delicious. The drive through town was short and sweet...there's not a lot of town to see...and he dropped us off to explore the area. We, unfortunately didn't make it up to the Cat Sanctuary but we did hire a shuttle (he called and made the arrangements for pick up, $10/person) and went to Hulopoe Beach for the rest of the day. While at the beach I recommend following the beach to the east and checking out the many tidepools then walk just a short distance to see Sweetheart Rock. The walk back to the harbor is only about 10-15 minutes but get there early to get a good seat on the top deck. The ferry ride back was a little rougher compared to the morning. It was a great day and Lana'i, at least to me, is a must do because of the super chill vibe and aloha compared to any of the other islands.

  • Sweetheart Rock

  • View of Molokai from Garden of the Gods

  • Arriving in Mehele Harbor

  • The one gas station on the island. Good food too!
