It’s not a private tour. We had another couple with us. I sat in the front seat and my husband in the 3rd row. The other couple sat in the second row. The driver was awesome! Showed us around town and took us to the places to see. He was very accommodating to our stop requests. Very personable and talkative. Very knowledgeable of the history of Lana’i. Not a 4x4… just a suburban but lots of fun! I would recommend it for your day trip

Lanai is amazing, our guide went above and beyond. He was very knowledgeable and experienced. The views are spectacular. I love the views from the Island of the Gods. I highly recommend the tour and I will definitely return to Lanai. This was my favorite adventure during my stay in Maui.

Josh was our guide and did an awesome job taking us around the island. We stopped at a coffee shop and got a delicious pastry and then proceed to tour the island. Josh was full of stories about growing up on the island which we all enjoyed hearing. We went to everything on the list and then went into the small town and ate lunch. It was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour. It was our favorite thing we did on the during our stay on Maui.
The only thing we would do differently is come back on the afternoon ferry instead of waiting for the 5:30 ferry. Again, it was a fantastic time!

We had a fabulous time on this tour with Josh!! He was very knowledgable on the island, inhabitants, customs, shops, restaurants and used personal stories to make this experience enjoyable by all. I would definitely recommend this tour and our tour guide Josh. On a side note, we were able to enjoy this experience. with another couple in which the husband worked the pineapple fields back in the 70's when he was 15 years old on a school reference. It was great seeing Lanai through his eyes and hearing about his time back in the day.

Lanai and Lanai City remind me of a Hawaiian version of Mayberry. Everyone knows one another and the slower pace and smaller scale was refreshing and brought back memories of my own childhood. Our guide, Joshua was a native and we enjoyed talking about the island, the State of Hawaii, and the state of the current political situation.
The wife and I enjoyed ourselves as we trekked across old pineapple fields seeing quail, turkeys, pheasant and deer. Their "Garden of the Gods" was a trip to a Martian landscape and afforded us a great view of Molokai. My only gripe is that we ran out of time and I wanted to see more.

Our tour of Lanai with Josh was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, he made the experience unforgettable. Josh’s friendly demeanor and deep knowledge of the island’s history and culture truly set this tour apart. He shared fascinating stories that really brought the island to life, and his passion for Lanai was contagious. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re looking for an enjoyable experience, Josh is your guy! And we most definitely will be back!! Thank you!!

We visited Lanai City, Shipwreck Beach, Garden of the Gods, the Cat Sanctuary, and stopped for beautiful photo opps around the island.

Michael (Mike) was our tour guide and created an exceptional experience for us. He was very welcoming, building rapport almost seemed second nature for him. He knew how to keep the audience engaged during the entire experience. The ride to pick up and start the event was just about the right length of time. I especially liked the fact that he could use a microphone while driving and that everyone in the vehicle could hear him. My family had our eyes opened on the lush landscape, history, and culture that Hawaii has to offer. Mike ensured that every angle was covered, and I honestly wish we could have strapped an audio recorder to him so we could capture all that he had to share. We all had ample time at the stops for swimming and pics. Mike was even nice enough to make an additional jump off the waterfall cliff with my go pro as I wasn’t brave enough to take that plunge. Our only constructive feedback on this event would be to tighten up the “meet up” process at the local shops. We were unsure where or how we needed to check in. Once we saw the white van arrive with the logo we understood.

He also helped us out with shuttles to the cat farm and back to the beach.

The trip was excellent. Parking at the Maalea harbor dock is a pain. In the future tell your clients to get the ParkWhiz app on their phone You can pay for close up parking on this app. The code reader at the dock is crappy. Our Lanai on site guide, Russ was a wealth of information and had as much fun with us and the other couple as we did with him and the tour. A nice day was had by all.

The early morning ferry was a smooth ride to the island. We were met by our guide, Russ, for the half day tour and along with another couple made our way into town to pick up a light breakfast at the local coffee spot. We stopped at Garden of the Gods which is like being on a whole different planet. The views were outstanding! The red dirt road out the GoG is rough and we were glad to have someone who was familiar with the area driving. We went on to see Shipwreck Beach. Again the dirt roads out to the beach were rough and even the Jeep tours from the Four Seasons were going at a snails pace while we manuvered our way around then. We parked in an area just shy of Shipwreck Beach where our guide's family had once had land, where some of the buildings still stand and walked the quiet beach strewn with old lava flows and had a good view of the wreck. Russ showed us how to tell if a coconut washed up on the beach was still good or waterlogged and even opened one up for us...it was a little old but still delicious. The drive through town was short and sweet...there's not a lot of town to see...and he dropped us off to explore the area. We, unfortunately didn't make it up to the Cat Sanctuary but we did hire a shuttle (he called and made the arrangements for pick up, $10/person) and went to Hulopoe Beach for the rest of the day. While at the beach I recommend following the beach to the east and checking out the many tidepools then walk just a short distance to see Sweetheart Rock. The walk back to the harbor is only about 10-15 minutes but get there early to get a good seat on the top deck. The ferry ride back was a little rougher compared to the morning. It was a great day and Lana'i, at least to me, is a must do because of the super chill vibe and aloha compared to any of the other islands.

Our trip to Lana’i was amazing!
It was an early morning to catch the first ferry of the day. Plenty of seating, plenty of room for our bags. We were off to Lana’i.
Greeted at the docks by our guide, Russ. He went above and beyond. We had bottled water and pastries waiting for us.
We hit shipwreck beach, Garden if the gods, and the Cat Sanctuary. Which is what I expected, but we also had great photo spots, local history and stories. Got to see the beautiful Lanai City. Tour even allowed us time to walk the city, have lunch, do a little shopping. Lastly we got dropped off at the beach, which was the icing on the cake. Beautiful, quiet, safe beach. Great snorkeling. Great tide pool to relax in.
I hate leaving a great review because the whole experience was so wonderful, I don’t want to spoil it. But, because of days like this one, I have so much love and respect for this island and its people. This day was my dream come true. I look forward to returning to the island of Lana’i.
Thank you is not enough. Blessings to this island and its people.

The ferry ride from Maui to Lanai was great. Our tour guide, Russ, met us as we disembarked from the ferry. He provided a great deal of information as he drove us to the different sights on Lanai. After lunch, he dropped us off at the Lanai Cat Sanctuary. We spent a full two hours at the sanctuary interacting with all of the different felines. As a cat lover, I was in heaven. It's very heart-warming to see people making a difference in the lives of the feline and bird populations of Lanai. Russ, then picked us up and returned us to the ferry for our return trip back to Maui. It was a long day (saw the sunrise & sunset) but worth it.

The ride to Lanai and back was very choppy. So much so that we were drenched when we sat on the second level outside. We didn't have much time on our 3 hour tour to see much and locations are spread out. We only saw Shipwreck beach, which was underwhelming. We then had lunch in town and it was time to go. If you are prone to motion sickness, skip it. The ferry ride and the 4x4 ride will not sit well with you.

Our guide, Isaac was very knowledgeable about the island and the culture. We loved the trip. The only downside is the ferry was late so the tour started late. We got paired with another couple who couldn’t/wouldn’t change to a later return ferry time so our tour of the island was very rushed. There should have been a way to ensure both couples had the same ferry time before the trip began so that we would get our money’s worth. Isaac’s knowledge of the history of the island was amazing. I wish we had more time to spend listening to his stories.
