All Reviews for Lanai Island Excursions, Maui

our guide was amazing... So interesting... Being from the Island was so informative about the history

Shuttle took off without us. Had to rent an Uber.

Lana’i is a must see

Expeditions servicecwas great

Hit a few bumpy waves but good over Al I would recommend for Lana’i trip

We boarded the Trilogy catamaran and saw humpback whales, ate a breakfast snack on way over to Lanai. We snorkeled and went on a nature hike. Later on we had a great lunch break at the pavilion at the small boat harbor. Our captain and crew served us very well throughout the trip. On sail back to Maui we had adult beverages and ice cream. It was first class and recommended trip for everyone

We had the greatest time on Lanai! The tour was fantastic! Josh was gracious and catered to what we were interested in. We felt like a local riding around town with him and are already talking about when we are going to come back!

The island is so beautiful and so different from Maui, it is so great that they still have tours like these!

Tour guide was very attentive and informative. The ferry ride was great but no chargers so make sure your prepared with things for your phones!

Shout out to the staff member who held the ferry in time for us to get on at 6:30am. * Ensure to get to the docks at least 1/2 before as parking, and finding your meeting point, isn’t simple. Something we didn’t do 😞
Russ was a great tour guide who showed us how beautiful, and peaceful, Lanai is. Would have loved to see the inside of the Four Seasons Hotel.
Eat at the Blue Ginger Restaurant. Home cooked, fresh food!
We initially booked to stay the full day on Lanai, but was able to get an early ferry back.

Most important to me!

1. Always reliable
2. Very knowledgeable and courteous personnel
3. Always willing to assist those in need

Great tour! But I think a lot of it had to do with Josh! He honestly made it so fun, going into great detail about the island, stories about how he grew up and things his grandpa would tell him! He always made sure we were happy with what we were doing and where we were going! We saw so much and learned so much! Yay Josh! Lanai truly felt like a small cute community with lots of character and history!

My then girlfriend (and very soon to be wife) and I took this day trip for the first time in 1985. On this outing in 2025 we marked our 40th wedding anniversary. It was wonderful then and still is a wonderful way to spend a day in paradise. The crew was amazing. Between their stories about the sea life and history of the islands and the family run business, their humor and incredibly attentive and diligent work ethic, they truly make you feel special!

Our ferry rides over to Lanai and back were great and the return was the best. We had one of the best sunsets ever looking back over the water with colorful cloud layers over Lanai. Also lots of whale activity in the morning and evening.

Josh was the best guide. Very memorable.
Saw everything up close. Shipwreck beach and Valley of the gods.

Josh was our guide for the morning and shared great information about Lanai City, the Ship Wreck, and Garden of the Gods.

Josh was amazing! Knowledgeable, patient, kind, accommodating. He knew just where to go and provided personal as well as historical information. We loved his tour!

Our guide was very helpful and informative, bringing a lot of history and information about the island! The island however was not as pretty as Maui!

Great place to propose out at garden of the gods.
Four seasons the break is not open to public.

Josh gave us a great tour of Lani. We enjoyed seeing the beach and features of the island.

Booked the SUV trip around Lana'i. Our driver, Josh, was fun (even with a hurt ankle). He was informative and had loads of family and local stories. We lucked out with a very clear day. Saw a dolphin, whales, turkeys, deer, frankolins, and a beautiful views.

Right from the original phone call, until we were dropped back off at the ferry. The staff was great. Their response time is quick. The instructions they sent are very clear, we had no questions to where to go, what was going to happen, etc.

Josh was an excellent tour guide for the half day 4x4 trekker!! Enjoyed the views as much as the stories!! Snorkeling was excellent!! Been told all you need is one day to see Lana’i but he changed our minds and we will definitely be back!!

Josh, our guide, picked us up right at Manele Bay Harbor. Got a quick tour of Lanai City and stopped for coffee, then headed to Shipwreck Beach. The drive there was almost as cool as the beach itself. Josh grew up on the island and had some amusing stories he shared as we drove. We continued on to the Garden of the Gods, it's totally other-worldly. We made a quick stop at the Cat Sanctuary, before catching the ferry back to Maalaea Harbor.

Excellent service and experience! 100% recommended

My wife and I had a great time and the tour guide was very knowledgeable, informative, and hilarious! Very fun!

It’s not a private tour. We had another couple with us. I sat in the front seat and my husband in the 3rd row. The other couple sat in the second row. The driver was awesome! Showed us around town and took us to the places to see. He was very accommodating to our stop requests. Very personable and talkative. Very knowledgeable of the history of Lana’i. Not a 4x4… just a suburban but lots of fun! I would recommend it for your day trip

Lanai is amazing, our guide went above and beyond. He was very knowledgeable and experienced. The views are spectacular. I love the views from the Island of the Gods. I highly recommend the tour and I will definitely return to Lanai. This was my favorite adventure during my stay in Maui.

Josh was our guide and did an awesome job taking us around the island. We stopped at a coffee shop and got a delicious pastry and then proceed to tour the island. Josh was full of stories about growing up on the island which we all enjoyed hearing. We went to everything on the list and then went into the small town and ate lunch. It was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour. It was our favorite thing we did on the during our stay on Maui.
The only thing we would do differently is come back on the afternoon ferry instead of waiting for the 5:30 ferry. Again, it was a fantastic time!

We had a fabulous time on this tour with Josh!! He was very knowledgable on the island, inhabitants, customs, shops, restaurants and used personal stories to make this experience enjoyable by all. I would definitely recommend this tour and our tour guide Josh. On a side note, we were able to enjoy this experience. with another couple in which the husband worked the pineapple fields back in the 70's when he was 15 years old on a school reference. It was great seeing Lanai through his eyes and hearing about his time back in the day.

Everyone should consider going on this trip. It's a lovely trip on a large boat with a crew and captain who really love what they do and love Maui and everything there is there. Maui is magical and having the opportunity to share it with people who truly care about it is such a fantastic experience. Do it!! You will not regret it :)

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.

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.
