Smooth Sailing

Reviewed by: Judith , 2022/05/27

The ferry ride to Lanai from Maui was on time, very organized, and smooth sailing at 6:45 in the morning. We spent the day in Lanai, and definitely worth it! Lanai was beautiful, and people there were all very friendly. The ferry ride going back to Maui from Lanai again on time. We didn't have to check-in again as we already have our boarding pass when we took it in the morning. Ride was good, wth a few rough spots as it was 5:30 in the afternoon, but I felt very safe. Will definitely do it again! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Excellent!

Reviewed by: Heather W., 2022/05/27

This experience was easy from start to finish - easy booking on line, staff courteous, informing, and efficient. The ride itself was very relaxing and the views were outstanding. So glad we decided to take this ferry to Lanai instead of flying over!

Lanai ferry

We took the ferry to Lanai and then had a taxi take us on a tour. It was a great way to see Lanai without staying there

Excellent ferry to Lanai from Lahaina

Reviewed by: Jojo S, 2022/05/20

Excellent ferry to Lanai from Lahaina. The crew were super knowledgeable about passengers’ safety and were very friendly. We decided to shorten our visit in Lanai bec of the rain and they were able to accommodate us.

Review on boat shuttle.

Reviewed by: Sabrina Adsuara , 2022/05/11

The boat shuttle was good. The only thing I have frustrating to me is that there was no way to get around the island unless you booked a car two days in advance. And I booked to come back at 5:30 I had to go all the way back to the kiosk lady and tell them we want to go on the early shuttle back That’s after I was in line I wish there was clear instructions or somebody would announce that while sitting there waiting for the shuttle and standing in line

Ferry to Lanai

Reviewed by: Wendy Schneider, 2022/05/03

Staff very friendly and helpful. Return to Maui in the afternoon was rough, but we were advised to move out of the stern if we didn't want to get wet, and stay seated for the ride. Great fun!

Great day trip!!

Reviewed by: Great day trip!!, 2022/04/14

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!!

One day trip to lanai

Reviewed by: Yari , 2022/04/01

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

Trip to Lana’i

Reviewed by: Jana, 2022/03/23

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.

Epic Day!

Reviewed by: Dee, 2022/03/07

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.

Day trip to Lanai

Reviewed by: M Miller, 2022/02/19

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.

Trip to Lanai

Reviewed by: Barbara , 2022/02/19

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!

Super easy and fun way to get to a different island

Reviewed by: Strempta, 2022/01/15

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.

Easy way to island hop.

Reviewed by: TheVandergriffs, 2021/12/10

We got to the terry just in time (arrive early even at 6:30 you’ll be searching for parking). We rode it to Lanai stayed in lanai 30 minutes then got back on ferry and returned to Maui. So for cost of ferry we got to go to more than one island on our trip to Hawai’i.
Boat was clean and comfortable everyone who worked for ferry was courteous and nice. Great trip. We saw a couple of whales and a pod of dolphins.
You should try it.

  • Lanai

  • The ferry

  • Bye bye Maui.

  • Sunrise

  • Sailboat in lanai harbor.

Still telling everyone to wear masks outdoors. Really?

Reviewed by: Barre, 2021/12/09

They are still telling you to west a mask outdoors. The girl taking tickets was very aggressive about putting your mask on. I was on the dock in the open air without my mask, which is totally legal and I stated to her, that when I go to get on the ferry I would be happy to put my mask on.
Really? Enough with the bullying.
She could have been so much more pleasant to everyone.

On time and picturesque trip to Lanai Island

Reviewed by: Jerry, 2021/10/11

The ferry left on time, and the ride provided a tranquil and picturesque view of the ocean and both islands. My only issue with the experience was the third party parking cost we incurred. Which resulted from the endorsement given from your business that wound up costing us $42 for 6 hours. There was plenty of parking elsewhere but we followed your recommendation and instructions provided in our packet. This was an additional 35% surcharge or cost we did not anticipate.
