Ferry LaHaina to Lanai

Reviewed by: Janice, 2023/02/18

Boat was on time and boarding was easy. We went in January when their were a lot of whales in the channel. The captain slowed and drove the boat to maximized our whale viewing! Lovely day!! Get in line early for a top seat on the boat!

Perfect way to travel

Reviewed by: Laurie, 2023/01/21

The ferry is clean, staff is friendly & helpful, ride is comfortable and you have a choice to be in air conditioning or open air.

We chose open air and had quite a show of whale activity.

I highly recommend!

Great day trip from Maui.

Reviewed by: Jonathan, 2022/12/04

The ferry was good, prompt and safe. The island is terrific. The bay next to the ferry has terrific snorkeling, better than anything we’ve been able to find in Maui (but we’re newbies, so might easily mistaken). Take a pill if you get seasick, trip back was bouncy.

Smooth ride. Many people slept on the way back.

Reviewed by: BigFred, 2022/12/01

From beginning to end it was a pleasure to ride the ferry. Plenty of seats upper and lower decks. Most people slept, that's how comfortable it is. No issues.

On time and well organized

Reviewed by: S from Canada , 2022/11/25

Overall I enjoyed the ferry ride to and from Lanai Island. There was limited seating outdoors and I wasn’t comfortable with COVID sitting inside. It was great though, that we were able to walk around during the ride.

Great experience in Lanai

Reviewed by: Unknown from AZ, 2022/10/19

It was a perfect day...comfortable boat ride with AC! It would be rated as perfect if the staff weren't rude as we were exiting the boat! ‍♀️
Theres nothing more to say so not sure why I needed 50 or more characters but here you go...useless words.

Wonderful experience

Reviewed by: Dawn, 2022/09/11

This is the first time I went to Lanai even though I have been to Maui many times and very happy I took the Ferry. They were very punctual, organized and seats for everyone. I liked it so much more than going on the very crowded snorkeling boats. Definitely worth taking.

Wonderful experience!!!

Reviewed by: Julie, 2022/09/07

The shuttle from Lahaina Harbor to Lanai and back was a seamless, wonderful experience. All of the directions/instructions were easy to follow and extremely helpful. We had a large party, but didn't experience any problems. I highly recommend using this service as well as making the trip from Maui to Lanai.

Great Ride

Reviewed by: Debo, 2022/08/19

Great ride. Easy and convenient. Wish I could park a car as well as the captain maneuvered the boat!! The reservation said I could show tickets on my phone but they insist you go to the ticket booth and get the paper tickets. No big deal but we wasted time in line so wish we had known. If you want to sit outside on upper deck, get there much earlier than they recommend to be in line early enough on a full boat ride.

Bad last minute trip idea

Reviewed by: T. Axelrad, 2022/08/15

We turned around and headed back because no transportation available and everything around the dock is closed or hotel guests only.

Lonesome Lana’i

Reviewed by: Scott L, 2022/07/15

The ferry was just fine but once on Lana’i there is little if nothing to do. There is one restaurant “the blue ginger” with ok food but surely order takers. There is no bar to grab a much needed drink. Two laps around the park and time to get a shuttle ride back. Two couples = $240 for ferry ride $80 for shuttle up and down the mountain, $50 for lunch = $370 bucks and 7 hours I’ll never get back.

Easy way to Lana’i

Reviewed by: Sherlocks, 2022/07/02

Fast and easy, comfortable seating, and on time. Ferry is large enough so the ride is smooth. Available times are convenient for an all day visit, or for a couple hours of snorkeling. Parking at Lahaina Harbor was not easy due to construction but we found a parking lot several blocks away. Our first visit to Lana’i…very laid back and pretty.

The crew on board was friendly and efficient. Safety of the passengers was a priority. Booking the ferry was fast and easy, and a change of dates was easily done by phone. Thanks for the ferry ride!

Nothing Extraordinary Than Expected

Reviewed by: Daisy, 2022/06/23

It was just a normal ferry ride from Maui to Lanai that took about a 45 minute ride each way. The boat was not full so it was nice that you had some room to not have to sit next to someone. Though there was a line I didn't worry because there were plenty of seats. If you prefer not to be under the sun then sit inside otherwise if you want to feel the breeze and get some sun then sit upstairs.

  • This is in Lanai
