After years of annual vacations on Maui we finally planned a day-trip to Lanai. Out of respect for the native culture and not wanting to violate any sacred areas we decided to hire a local guide to show/drive us around. That was a great decision and great fun. We went all over the island hearing stories of the olden days and current events. If you are at all curious about how Maui (and other Hawaiian islands) looked and felt decades ago, than a trip to Lanai should be on your next itinerary. Like many other Maui adventures, you have get an early start as the first 45 minute Ferry run to the island leaves Lahaina at 6:30am. Enjoying sunrise on a boat in paradise can't be beat. We were greeted at the harbor by our tour guide, who has lived on the island for 20 years. He knew every inch, nook and cranny of the island. He told us about his growing up on the island, and stories old and new of life there.
After lunch in Lanai City we had time to shop in the few local shops and boutiques. Life is a much slower pace there, with way fewer cars and less people. We continued on our tour with a few more afternoon stops, ending at a beautiful beach a short walk to the harbor. We caught the last ferry back to Maui and enjoyed an evening ocean cruise back to Lahaina.
I would highly recommend a day trip and guided tour of Lanai. It's great fun and you never know who you might bump into on this unpretentious paradise island!

We did the full day tour with Isaac, a semi-retired local who knows the ins and outs of the island of Lanai. We're glad we took the full day tour otherwise you only get to see a glimpse of the island. Don't expect a beach day here, you'll rather get a ride all aroud the island with the history (old and recent) of the place on top of the usual sites: garden of the gods, shipwreck beach...

This was a awesome experience. It turned out to be the highlight of my trip to Maui and I have been five times to Maui. Bruce showed me 80% of Lanai'i and obviously cared about the island and it's people. If I ever return to Maui, I will try to take this tour again. Thanks Bruce.

This was an amazing experience from the beginning. The guides were so friendly and accommodated every rider based on their experience level. We chose the 2 seater so I could record while he showed off his driving skills until I took over and amazed him with my hidden talents. It was a pure adrenaline rush and memorable experience to add to our honeymoon in Maui. Loved it!

The boys did a UTV drive and the girls did the horseback ride. One of the girls did not want to do the horse and the guides were super accommodating and put her in a UTV to still get to do something. She wound up have a blast after she got in the UTV with her husband. She was able to take a ton of photos and videos of the tour.
My wife got on the horse and had a BLAST on the ride. They did the same trail as the UTV/ATV does but the UTV/ATV goes out first, so they never cross paths. My wife had a great time, but she did say it was not for a very beginner, as they do have a few steep hills. At the very end they let you go faster (For the experienced rider) and go at your own pace for everyone.
The only thing is remember to wear long pants and closed toed shoes. Also DO NOT WEAR WHITE. You will come back with part of the trail on you as it is dusty.
If you ride, this is a must do trip.

We went on the UTV not the ATV, but it was a blast. The guides told us about things that we did not know about the island, and they talked about the history of the island, movies that were filmed there. They had cold drinks before and after the ride.
We were a little freaked out when the meeting place was a GPS point not an address. When we showed up we were greeted by a guide on a ATV and waited for everyone to show up. We then followed her on the street to the facility. If you plan on doing this be aware that the ride up the hill to the stable and ATV spot, is up a hill that is NOT paved, we felt sorry for the people behind us in a Dodge Charger, we thankfully had a Jeep.
It is a Must do if you are in Maui.

I purchased this because we did an ATV tour in the past. We normally go much faster and it’s exciting. We were in the back so i guess we can only go as fast as the line allows. We were just bouncing through those lands, but not very fast. Maybe that would have been more dangerous given the landscape, idk. That part was just making me nauseous. Also, wear a gator or cloth around your mouth. The overview of the land was great to learn. I appreciated the efforts to restore the land and enjoyed learning how the trees are connected to the Hawaiian culture. Our tour guides were informative, funny, and had great energy. I was just expecting more excitement.

We were fortunate enough to have had a new moon and clear sky up on Haleakalā back in September. We had breathtaking views of Milky Way, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, the Andromeda galaxy, and much more thanks to our amazing guide, Yoshi! Yoshi brought us a box of donuts and served us hot tea throughout the night. We were a bit fearful of driving down from the summit in the dark, but Yoshi led the way and made us feel very safe. This was easily one of our most memorable experiences during our visit to Maui and highly recommend it!

I was told I would be able to do the hike it would be a moderate hike but doable. The day of I couldn't bend my knee so I stayed back, my husband was told no refund even though I let them know 3 days before that I had an injury. Had they not encouraged me I would have canceled the day I called, that is why I was calling them. In the end when Veltra contacted them they fully refunded my money. It was greatly appreciated!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Maui! First you get to drive up 10k feet up Haleakala and view amazing landscapes, be above the clouds and then watch the sunset. Guide, Yoshi (not sure if spelling correctly) was amazing! Has been doing this tour for 20 years. Very laid back, knowledgeable, and offers up various spots for photos. He has very good equipment for star gazing. He sets everything up, provides winter jackets and even coffee and tea. We got to see Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Andromeda galaxy and much more. Would recommend to anyone! We spent about 1 hour of the tour star gazing and other tours were already gone while we were still up there. Absolutely amazing!

I cancelled our hotel luau reservation and booked this 2 seater ATV for my husband and I and our daughter and her best friend! I thought it would be more fun for my family to experience this for the very first time. I saw the blogger on YouTube and explained about using this company. The staff were very nice and pleasant to talk to. This was our very first time be on the island of Maui and able to experience riding the ATV. We had a lot of fun! Our tour guide who I called “Aloha” or Brandon was very informative and even extended the help of taking our family photos! We liked the farm where the ATV were situated. We did not expect we will see many animals here! I highly recommend using the Maui Activities Company. We shall return to visit Maui and ride the ATV again!

We had an amazing personalized tour of Maui driving through the Hana Road. Gus and AnnaLisa both provided a fantastic narrative of the beautiful island of Maui from the lush rain forest to the beach and circled entire island. Stopped at wonderful places for local banana bread to ice cream and BBQ lunch as well as local island coffee. Enjoyed hearing about Maui’s culture, history, plants and flowers. Not to mention the breathe tasting scenery with personalized photos. Very social distance friendly and felt completely safe throughout the tour. Highly recommended.

Awesome tour with Bruce! He provided many interesting facts and information about the island. We saw areas of the island that we would have missed if we were on our own. He offered us the opportunity to spend extra time at the cat sanctuary with over 600 cats when we told him we liked cats, such an awesome place. I mentioned we hadn’t seen many turtles (honu) and he took us to a beach that had about 6 right along the shore. Though not guaranteed, we were able to see Maui, Molokai, Oahu, Big Island of Hawaii, Molokini and Kahoolawe from Lanai (per Bruce he’s only seen Oahu a few times from Lanai).
Definitely would recommend this tour!

Docking a star due to starting over an hour late, as well as getting a horse that was older and clearly needed to rest during the tour (other horses were just fine).
Otherwise, the experience was really nice and the views were amazing. Great for beginners, more experienced riders may not enjoy as much (they probably wouldn't book this).
Kinda wish they allowed us to trot/gallop a little.
Great for family and friends!

Very unique experience not to be missed while traveling to Maui. Completely different from anything else on the island and I highly recommend it. Having a driver was great just so we can spend more time looking around and he knew several of the places to stop that we otherwise would have had no idea about. Also places do not stop, they were covered in tourist and other things. Our driver and the service did a great job.
