Maui
Quinn was a guide and he was so cool. He took us on the long road around not just to Hana and back. We saw so much and he slowed down or stopped whenever he could for photo ops. The sights were indescribable and seemed to be unlimited! It was a long but full day!
Aloha, how wonderful to hear that. Mahalo for sharing and a hui hou!
On the ride to the summit, we stopped for everyone to be fitted with bicycles and gear. I signed up for a tour. The sunrise at the summit was phenomenal. The ride down however was a bit uncomfortable because I was the only one on the bus. We were mainly watching the bikers, making sure they got down the mountain safely. We stopped in two towns where Rory let me get off and walk around, but it wasnt much of a tour.....it was a bus ride to the sunrise and back. It's not what I paid for but I did get to see the sunrise. Also, my friend was suppose to go but got sick as we left the motel. Eddie was the driver to the summit and had to stop for her. Luckily we hadnt gone far so he returned her to the motel and I did the 'tour' on my own. Rory was the driver coming down and he was great doing what he was supposed to do. I tried to get a refund for my friend to no avail. They said she must have a dr note. Since she wasnt sick enough to go to the dr, she lost her money. It was a beautiful sunrise but all in all I was disappointing in the day. Make sure if you want a tour, you aren't going with bikers. The description did not make that clear.
This was a wonderful activity. The crew were so nice, friendly, and knowledgable. Lunch was great!
Mahalo for the 5-stars!
My family and I went to Lanai for a day trip. The beach was maybe a 10 minute walk from the harbor. Make sure to pack a cooler with drinks and snacks. The general store at the harbor has limited things. The Four Seasons is close by but the restaurant isn’t open to public like we thought. There are cabanas on the beach, but they are only reserved for hotel guests. If you have small children there is a lagoon on the opposite side of the beach that is calmer and cooler for children to play!! The boat ride was great. It was a little choppy coming back, but overall a great experience!!
We really enjoyed the snorkeling tour. The staff were locals which we appreciated. They were charming, funny and accommodating. The ride was smooth and snorkeling equipment worked great. Highly recommend if you haven't been before and a great beginning snorkeling spot
45 minute ferry ride to Lanai. We spent the day visiting the cat sanctuary - contacted the shuttle service the day prior. Ferries were on time and smooth
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
Mahalo for the review! Please let us know what we could of done to improve and make this a 5-star experience for you. We hope to see you again!
Aloha,

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.
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.
Our guide Josh provided a wonderful tour on the island of Lana’i. He was very knowledgeable of the islands history as well as the areas vegetation. Josh was personable and professional. We would definitely recommend this experience with Expeditions.
This trip was nice, not too many vehicles going counter clockwise. We saw such a long line of cars towards the end. Glad we went backwards, and skipped the traffic.
There were some narrow squeezes and even had to back up once. But the views were great (just look quickly!) the rainbow trees are beautiful.
Time constraints didn’t allow us to swim under the waterfall, which I would have liked to do (colder water needed to get used to it and dry off..,)
Hana town looks quaint and cute.
The black sand beach and swimming was great!
Thank you so much for your review and images!
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.
Aloha Angelina - Mahalo for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed everything on board as well as the snorkeling at Molokini. We can't wait to see you again soon!
Mahalo nui loa & a hui hou kakou!
(Thank you very much & until we meet again!)
Preston has to be the most amazing tour guide I've ever had the privilege of touring with! From being knowledgeable, to witty, he's got it all. He wants to ensure that EVERYONE no matter what season it is layers up, wears clothes toed shoes (toe warmers like the ones used in Tahoe would be the best idea ever!) and BRING A BLANKET! Whatever size you want, fluffy, non fluffy donuts matter. But, this awesome tour guide lets you leave you items safely on the bus so all your have to comfortable carry the very few far steps you actually have to walk, is the blanket and your camera for beautiful views. Keep your positive attitude when waking early, plan ahead with an energy drink or snack to keep you going until you reach to Kula Lodge (TRY THE LOCO MOCO JUST TRUST ME) and you'll be good to go!
Needs more shuttles at the port………………..,
We had a great time in this tour! All the staff are very nice and entertaining. We would go again!
A great day of fun in the sun. The captain and crew were great, The captain stopped for whale watching on the cruise to the island. The snorkeling was awesome and the crew went over the equipment thourghly. I would recommend this trip to anyone headed to Maui.
Had a great sunset cruise with Trilogy. Was great from the crew to the Captain to the food and drinks! I highly recommend this company!
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
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!
Amazing service and expertise on the whale watching excursion! The crew was amazing and helpful along the way. Would highly recommend this trip for individuals and families!
Yamauchi-san's tour was absolutely amazing. He was so courteous and professional. He also took so many good, creative pictures of us and he is very talented. We enjoyed his company and tour. It ended up being the most favorite activity during our entire trip. Who knew an astronomy tour could be so fascinating? A must-go tour in Maui!
It was easy to do, safe and comfortable. We would use this again.
Totally impressed! My husband and I had fun and enjoyed the beautiful views and excitement of being off the grid! We ride back home (Idaho) and this was a different kind of experience and we loved every moment!
Can't miss this tour- the top of Haleakala is like a different world compared to the beach!
Loved the tour guide, he was so awesome in knowledge of every part of the journey!
There was a whole family of tem it was a bit scary but surreal!
HI Kara,
Thank you for your review. Glad you saw some awesome whale action!
The sun was setting right as we were eating, it was awesome! Food is delicious and show was wonderful!
We had an amazing time. It was nice that there wasn’t too many people on the boat. The captain was great, Daryl, as well as the rest Of the staff. They were all friendly, and really looked like they were enjoying themselves too :-)
It was a very windy day but we made the best of it!
we loved the show, the atmosphere, the storytelling, and the food! great accomodation for our dietary needs and warm service.
Went here for my wife and I 30th anniversary. We wanted to experience a more "authentic" Hawaiian Luau, not the Las Vegas type with all the glitz. Food was fine, but the hostesses,waiters were outstanding. The ambiance of the setting is paradise. Then there was the actual show! Can't say enough about how much we loved it! Very very talented dancers, musicians and storytellers! Really awesome experience!
