Aloha friends, we just completed our private guided tour of Lani, and we were very fortunate to have Joshua as our guide. This gentleman makes your visit an Amazing learning tour, and lets you know your are safe and welcomed on Lani.
The Island is privately owned and maintained, but is is an great tour experience in order really understand the Ancient Hawaiian culture and Survival skills. It is a beautiful place, and offers many photo opportunities.
Mahalo to Joshua!

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.

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!

A little hard to find the place, so make sure you go early, you have to follow the guide from the parking spots to a different area when its check in time.

This was a great experience. The crew of the boat was very attentive. The equipment was in excellent shape. Very nice breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately, we did not see any turtles, but this, of course, is not the fault of the tour operators. If you are looking to go to Molokini, I recommend this tour.

We had a late flight our last day in Maui so we wanted something fun and easy to do after we checked out of our condo. The MauI Ocean Center was a really fun time and educational to boot. There is a mix of outdoor and indoor spaces, an interactive show on feeding the sharks and rays, and plenty of exhibits that allow you up close views of the fish and turtles we saw while snorkeling.
The 3d video on whales was well done and the crowds were light enough to allow us good access to all the different viewing areas.

We had the best tour ever! We ended up being the only two on the tour and it was amazing. He even stopped and got us some donuts. We saw the best sunset and so many stars. Yoshi showed us all the different stars and the milky way on the telescope. He also took plenty of pictures of us and let me just say he is an amazing photographer. Would love to go again.

The guides, the views and just riding an ATV combined for an incredible morning adventure in our overall relaxing Maui vacation. The guides were happy, friendly, helpful and informative. The views were incredible. I had never driven an ATV and I was given clear directions and guidance and felt at ease and had fun from the moment I put it in drive. This is 100% worth it!

Yoshi is amazing! He is very thoughtful and came prepared. I went to Haleakala for sunset and then went for stargazing. He is very knowledgeable and explained a lot about stars to us using laser & telescope. He gave us donut, tea, blanket, gloves, jacket, and candy. It was amazing!!! He is very kind and friendly. I definitely recommended him to everyone.
Ps: Thank you, Yoshi!

My family and I had the best experience. From the moment we stepped onto the boat, the crew was very attentive, friendly, and funny. They provided a great overview of the day activities and what we needed. They checked on us frequently and even provided a little history lesson on the nearby islands. We took about 1 hr boat ride over to Lanai. Once at Lanai, it was a 7 minute walk to the beach. The beach was amazing!!! We did some snorkeling, a short nature walk, and had some time to chill at the beach. The BBQ LUNCH was delicious! The boat ride back we enjoyed 2 cocktails and ice cream. The crew exceeded our expectations. I would definitely do this again! I felt like VIP. Book it! You won’t regret it

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.

My wife and I had an incredible day on this excursion! The exclusive rights to the island that other tour companies do not have is what makes this company one of a kind!! They take you to a "private" beach and allow you to snorkel, hike, and provide a breakfast and lunch! There were other companies snorkeling around reefs but this company actually takes you onto the island!! We HIGHLY recommend! Captain Raquel and her crew were fantastic!

The snorkeling experience was very good. They were informative and patient, helping everyone get equipped. They had 2 spots, I would have preferred just staying at the first stop, as there was less to see at the second, and the swim back to the boat was tiring at the second stop. I recommend using a flotation belt instead of a noodle. I also recommend taking Dramamine for the ride there and back.
Overall a fun time and we saw a lot of beautiful sea life!

We were met at the harbor with plenty of aloha from our guide Joshua. He had an intimate knowledge of the island. From its long history to now, Joshua knew it all. He explained how the ecosystem has evolved through the years. We went to a great store and picked up some ono poke and a loaf of guava bread (cake) Joshua recommended. He dropped us off at an awesome snorkeling beach near the harbor. We spent the rest of our day on that beautiful beach snorkeling and enjoying our lunch. You’ve got to buy the guava bread! The ferry trip was easy and it was a perfect time to catch a nap. Well worth our time and hard earned money.

Our family truly enjoyed this tour of Lanai’i. It was made even better as we had Josh as our tour guide and he did an amazing job as our host on this breathtaking island. He made us feel right at home and was always making sure we were fine and asked us for our input on what we wanted to do / see on the island! He drove us to some very special places and told us wonderful stories about the Hawaiian culture on Lanai’i as well as current information about the island and its current population. He also made a special stop at the cat Sanctuary and our daughters were absolutely thrilled about this! Thank you Josh for making this experience most enjoyable and memorable for our family!

The best snorkeling cruise at two different sites. Molokini and turtle town. Did not disappoint either sites. Lots of fish, sea life and coral at Molkini. Then on to turtle town which also did not disappoint. Turtles and fish abound. One turtle even came to surface for air while we watched. The staff is amazing, knowledge and very helpful. Pacific whale foundation cruises give back their profits to benefit the sea life. I highly recommend.

This tour is absolutely worth it! Yoshi is tour owner and tour guide with over 20 yrs experience! His tour is perfect for those who don’t want to drive up for their first time in the dark and windy road (like the other tour). Everything was provided as described- and the arctic jackets were a must have because it was freezing and windy! Loved the hot tea provided too! Yoshi is super knowledgeable about the stars and with his telescopes we were able to see the beautiful stars. Oh and the sunset was absolutely terrific too! Definitely worth taking this tour!

初めてのハワイ、久し振りのシュノーケリングでちょっぴり不安でした。
クルーは船長、スヌーバ担当の方がおひとり、あと三人のうちお二人が日本の方。運航、器具の貸し出し、朝食と昼食の準備、飲み物の提供、そもそもお忙しいのに、COVIDで感染対策も加わった訳で、みなさんくるくると働いておられました。(それでもCOVID前に比べれば参加人員が少ないとか。)
そんなでお忙しいのに、みなさん親切で優しく質問には答えて下さり、潜る時には怖がっている妹に付きっ切りでお世話をして下さいました。
持って行った日焼け止めが使えるか心配でしたが、船で購入が出来ました。
お天気にも恵まれ、お陰様でシュノーケリングを楽しめました。また行きたいです。

We boarded the ferry at the Lahaina main dock and took a very smooth 50 minute ride to the Lanai Harbor. We we greeted by our guide Josh. Josh was is an extremely passionate guide who explains current and past customs and cultures on this small but interesting island. He was very amenable to making stops in town to shop and to go to the world famous cat sanctuary for my wife! We had time to take in the beauty of the coastline as well as the mountain ranges. This guided tour is one of the best we’ve taken and Josh made all the difference. Thanks Josh!
