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.

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.

Enjoyed grabbing a seat on the top deck. The team did a great job getting people on and off the boat. Ride was smooth as we could get given the high winds. Great experience overall.

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!

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!

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

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.
