Expeditions - Maui to Lanai Ferry Boat Shuttle from Maalaea Harbor & Manele Bay
Overall Rating
4.60Loved the tour, well planned and executed
Reviewed by: ignacio hermosilla, 2024/03/16Loved the tour, it’s well timed as it felt I had enough time in water at both Molokini and turtle town. The crew is very good and they really make sure you are well taken care of.
This is also an excellent opportunity for whale spotting, I did a whale spotting tour as well and this one was better.
The slide is awesome and everything is very family friendly.

Smooth ride!
Reviewed by: AST, 2023/07/23Professional and welcoming crew took us from Maui to Lana’i. Ride was smooth - so much so that I fell asleep. Shows onboard included some interesting things about the island and ideas about where to go. Rating 10 out of 10.

Trip to the Cat Sanctuary
Reviewed by: Liza, 2023/07/01The Ferry was clean and the trip was well organized. I couldn’t give it a five star review because the waves were extremely choppy and the ride was nearly unbearable on the way back. And, although there were “puke bags” in our seat on the way over, there were none on the way back. I had a motion sickness patch in place, but it wasn’t enough to keep me from feeling like I might be sick. Fortunately I did not get sick, but I was so stressed about not having a bag just in case. There were some bags on the back counter, but it was unsafe to get up and move around.

Rough ride
Reviewed by: Just, 2023/05/08The ride was very rough. My wife got sick and her motion sickness is so mild that even though the water was rough going from maui to Lanai she didn't get sick but going back she was about to throw up. Felt they could of made the a little smoother by either showing down a bit or taking a little altered.

Love taking the ferry!

I love the ferry
Reviewed by: Casey, 2023/03/26I always go back and forth on whether I want to fly or ride to ferry to Lana'i and I'm always so glad I choose the ferry when I do. Although it is a longer ride and takes a while to get to the harbor because of where I live, it's always a leisurely ride and I love watching the whales. The only downside is that if you don't get there early enough, you have to sit inside which is not as nice on a pretty day.

Careful where you park
Reviewed by: Debbie Sullivan, 2023/03/22The only issue was parking. We were told to park in the lot across from the big banyan tree so we did. We got a $60 ticket for overtime parking. Not pleased!!!!!

Easy ride over to Lanai
Reviewed by: Bri, 2023/03/04It was a great ride! If you want to sit on top of the ferry and get a good view, be sure to get there early. We saw lots of whales on our way back from Lanai! Take a Dramamine if you get a little motion sickness and you won’t have any issues. The ferry was spacious and super easy to book online. We will definitely be going back to lanai using this service!

Great ride
Reviewed by: TAHT, 2023/02/21I was on a vacation to Maui with friends and we did a day trip to Lanai using this ferry service. The staff were wonderful and went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable during the ride. It was whale season, so we saw many whales during the crossing. The ferry left promptly on time and the captain ensured that we were well informed the entire journey. Highly recommend!
