All Reviews for Lanai Island Excursions, Maui

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!!

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 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.

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.

Needs more shuttles at the port………………..,

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.

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

It was easy to do, safe and comfortable. We would use this again.

Die Fähre nach Lana’i war pünktlich und gut. Jedoch war es unpraktisch, dass die gekauften Tickets zuerst gezeigt werden mussten und dann neue Tickets verteilt wurden anstatt, dass diese Online gezeigt werden konnten. Etwas flexiblere Rückreise wäre Praktisch, anstatt nur genau zu der Ausgewählten Zeit. Sonst war der Ausflug gut und hat sich gelohnt.

Great experience. The crew was great, full of information about marine life. They took us to amazing shallow reefs off of Lanai and there were no other boats around at all. Saw sea turtles and octopus. They also made sure to get us to see whales and since it's late March, they were everywhere. We followed some pods and got to see them go under the boat. Incredibly professional as well, helpful for getting gear on for those we have never snorkeled before. Wetsuits available for rental which was great to use in the water since it gets cold after a while. Breakfast, nonalcoholic drinks, snacks available, BYOB and you can store stuff in their huge cooler.

Great crew on a nice ride to Lanai. I really liked Captain Turtle’s snorkeling lesson. It was funny but very informative!

Whale sightings and sunrise, followed by an awesome day on Lanai, then wrapped up by even better whales sightings and the most epic sunset over Lanai as we landed back in Maui. Will so do this again! The staff was really friendly also.

This was my wife and my first trip to Lanai. The ferry was such an easy way to enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean! We will defiantly take this trip again.

We loved our Lanai experience. Bruce was so knowledgeable and thorough. He knew so much about the island and history of Hawaii. We learned so much and had a great time. Thank you Bruce for everything. We will never forget our experience. It was a perfect trip.

Excellent day, we were supplied with all equipment needed - even beach chairs and Mats. We had a great time

My husband, daughter and myself went on the 3 1/2 hour tour. Bruce was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, not only showing us places on Lanai, but also giving us the history, customs, and pointing out the different trees, plants, and animals. We were also fortunate to see deer and whales. After the tour, we spent a couple of hours in Lanai City, having lunch and visiting the art galleries and stores. The half day tour was perfect, allowing us to go back to Maui on the 2:30 ferry. The only thing we wished we had more time on the island so we could have hiked some of the trails.

Wanted to see Lana'i and this met our needs. The harbors were excellent.

Having been on snorkel tours to Molokini previously, we were happy to find this tour to Lanai for something different.

From the minute we stepped on the boat, we had a great time - the crew was great, the food was great, and we really liked being able to dock on Lanai and snorkel from the beach. We took part in the SNUBA activity and then hiked afterwards. It was great to have the lawn chairs, sun mats, sunscreen, and snorkel gear readily available as well.

The lunch provided at Trilogy's dock-side pavilion was fresh-cooked and delicious.

Our trip back to Maui was great with lots of whales sightings and we were able to stop periodically to watch them. We bought the photo package offered and whale photos were part of the package.

We would definitely recommend this snorkel tour!

Our motivation to go to Lanai was to visit the cat sanctuary but it was so much more. We had a great view of whales breaching on the 45 minute ride to Lanai. Along with the other passengers, we pointed out where we saw whales. Reservation tickets were purchased online and boarding passes at the dock where we checked in. Everything went smoothly, the ferry left on schedule and brought us back on time. The trip to Lanai was one of the highlights of our stay on Maui and the ferry made it happen for us.

It was a wonderful trip by ferry from Lahaina To Lanai. We were only there a half day because of other family requirements back on Maui. But it was a good introduction to the island. I would like to go back and stay longer. Boat was great, staff also!

The tour of Lanai was amazing. Our guide, Clyde, customizes the tour based on his clients wishes, capabilities, etc. He was knowledgeable and shared the island’s stories. The island of Lanai is beautiful and has many distinct things to see (petroglyphs, Shipwreck Beach, native vegetation, Garden of the Gods and much more). We would not have had the same experience if we toured on our own. Take the tour with Clyde!

Bruce was our guide and was awesome. It was just my husband and me. He took us around the whole island and shared so much history and personal knowledge. It was an amazing day. He even brought us Bananas from the tree in his yard which were super sweet. We highly recommend this tour and Bruce.

Really enjoyed the day sailing to Lanai from Maui with Captain Turtle! The captain and his crew made it fun and a day of adventure. We did the Snuba when we got to Lanai and Shamus did a great job working with everyone and keeping things safe. Courtney, Shamus and Clay were great on the boat keeping us entertained and personally served everyone.

We saw whales, flying fish and some whitecaps which made for an adventurous trip back.

Wonderful time and a enjoyable trip over on the ferry. Our shuttle driver, Cory. Was great.

The short trip from Lahaina to Lanai was beautiful. The ferry was punctual, clean, and efficiently run by the crew. We will take the ferry again on our next visit to Lanai.

A very clean ferry with friendly crew! Very well organised despite Lahaina harbour often being hectic. The staff were nice and helpful and the trip over was smooth with a GORGEOUS sunrise!!

This tour is one of the most interesting and enjoyable activity one can take while on the island of Maui. The tour includes the Ferry from Lahaina Harbor to the Island of Lana’i. Once there we were greeted by our tour guide Bruce and off we went in a Chevrolet Suburban. Bruce was so knowledgeable and shared his experiences living on the island.
He shared the history of the island as well as the myths of the gods in the valley of the gods. We were able to see the entire island which has so many different highlights.
This was our second time we have taken this tour and I would highly recommend it for everyone. There is so much to see. A real gem. .

Isaac was outstanding. He was super knowledgeable about the island and its history. I cant imagine a better way to tour the island.

We all had a wonderful ride to Lanai.
Ferry was on time both ways. Boat is clean and Captains and crew were so friendly and helpful. Covid rules followed.
And, we saw whales!

This was a simple, easy, comfortable and beautiful way to check off another island for your bucket list. Crew was friendly, ferry was clean, and it was just a fun way to see the whales---I suggest doing this than paying for a whale watching experience because we saw more whales here on our way to Lanai. Highly recommend.
