Discover Lanai Day Trip from Maui, Hulopoe Bay Snorkeling & Sweetheart Rock

Unforgettable

Reviewed by: Kamille

It's called a snorkel tour but that title really falls short of everything involved. We had not one but two dolphin sightings. I'm not saying we saw a couple of them in the far distance. They were swimming right beside us, and there were literally dozens upon dozens of them jumping and spinning above the water. The beach at Lanai is peaceful and exclusive. The team set up games and activities for everyone to enjoy. Yes there's snorkeling but they are not assuming that everyone is into that. You wanna chill on the beach? You wanna play giant Jenga with the fam? You wanna walk up a nature trail? All covered. The short trail up to the cliff side is indescribable. After all of that they feed you a freshly prepared bbq lunch and they make certain that you don't leave hungry. The servers came by a half dozen times to make sure that everyone had enough food. I took the 630am tour in anticipation of afternoon winds because I tend to get motion sickness. I am not a morning person at all but considering the perfect conditions I had no regrets. The crew was attentive, friendly and considerate. I don't eat meat and I avoid gluten. I stupidly forgot to mention that in my booking, but they were still able to accommodate me on the spot with no hassle or judgement. If you've read this far and you still haven't booked, you'll be missing out on one of the best tours the island offers.

Star of Honolulu Waikiki Sunset Cruise - Steak and Lobster Dinner & Hula Show

Good service, bad food.

Reviewed by: Tourist

The entertainment was so much fun to watch and the staff and service was great. We were sitting elbow to elbow with the tables next to us which was very uncomfortable. Way too crowded. Way way way too crowded. Another huge disappointment was the food. Overall I would not recommend for the price. Maybe if you can find a discounted ticket it would be worth it.

Discover Lanai Day Trip from Maui, Hulopoe Bay Snorkeling & Sweetheart Rock

Adventure on Lanai

Reviewed by: SSVOYAGE

We had an amazing experience aboard the Trinity. Aside from the wonderfully planned experiences, such as snorkeling a hike up to see Puu Pehe and a delicious lunch, we were met with extraordinary surprises as well! We were greeted by whales and dolphins! The voyage from Maui to Lanai was very enjoyable. The scenery of the ocean and islands around us, as well as the service on board with the friendly and knowledgeable staff. The snorkeling was AMAZING.

Oceanfront Royal Kona Luau with Open Bar - Voyagers of the Pacific Show

Loved it!

Reviewed by: April

Had seating for 5 and was awesome to get our photo taken so if we wanted, we could purchase after the show. It rained in the beginning for half an hour but they had ponchos for everyone. Finally the rain stopped and the music was cool. We got to eat and the show started. Loved everything about the host and how he explained everything like a story teller. My family enjoyed the food and the show. The luau was great and we left happy! Photos and memories! I recommend for sure. Mahalo!

Amazing ride, excellent and enjoyable pilot and guide!

Reviewed by: John L.

The team was professional, friendly and competent. Toshi, our pilot, was extremely knowledgeable about the areas we flew over and provided some incredible views of the canyons, cliffs and waterfalls along the journey. We were able to spend ample time viewing and enjoying the highlights. Toshi was very knowledgeable about a wide range of topics related to the areas we flew over. Highly recommend this trip for anyone considering it.

The people were friendly, funny, and had all the right answers to make this an exeptional trip

Reviewed by: Clark Simpson

The snorkel equipment was the best we found, instructions for use were useful and enhanced the experience. The trip over to Lanai was fun and the captain was entertaining.

The timing of everthing was correct. The snorkelling was over at the correct time for the meal, the meal was great and appropriate for the day

The weather was perfect, and we even saw a whale breach in the way back.

Family oriented and extremely accommodating to dietary needs

Reviewed by: Mama Bear

The manager - Kamika - was the host for the evening and his hospitality was phenomenal. The whole evening was incredibly well thought out and organized. It was very family oriented. I eat a fully plant-based diet and he personally came to our table to inform me of the amazingly unexpected meal accommodations they made JUST for me. The experience was incredible.

Highly recommend activity with young children! The crew was so accommodating to everyone on board and nothing makes it a great time when good music, food and fun under the sun. We still talk about this activity and how much fun we had. It was definitely the highlight of our trip in O'ahu and we'd do it again the next time we're back!

Good boat and staff. Crappy food

The boat and staff were very nice and the tour was good. However, if you are going to charge the prices you do, not can at least expect fresh pineapple and not canned. It is Hawaii. And the rest of the food was underwhelming.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Best Luau show deal around!

Reviewed by: JoseP

We have been to luaus on all four major Hawaiian islands and they are expensive. Traveling with a party of six can be quite expensive. Being able to just purchase tickets for a luau show was very inexpensive and the value was fantastic. Great show we actual stadium style seating. And for the price, this is the best luau show on any of the islands. A short “train” ride from the entrance was also included in the price, which was only $20 per person when we went. Great value!
