Great time in Lanai! Lanai offers 400 miles of road to explore by four-wheel drive. We rented a jeep in Lanai City and visited Koloiki Ridge, Kanepuu Preserve, the lunar landscape of Keahiakawelo (Garden of the Gods), the remote white sands of Polihua Beach, Shipwreck Beach and the Petroglyphs, and the ancient remains of historic Kaunolu, home to King Kamehameha’s favorite summer fishing retreat overlooking Lanai’s southern cliffs. Wow! What an adventure!

Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable but I think it would have been more fun exploring on our own, not a ton to see on Lanai but if you go rent your own jeep for the day.

Isaac gave us a wonderful tour of Lanai filled with interesting facts and history. His intimate knowledge as a resident there was very interesting.

We had a great full-day tour of Lanai with Isaac — he is such a cool, authentic, fun, and knowledgeable guy who made our visit very memorable, through his many personal anecdotes and off-the-beaten path spots explored at a very welcome leisurely pace. Mahalo Isaac!

This was our 3rd time doing this adventure and as in the past it did not disappoint !! From the time we boarded the ferry in Lahaina until we returned to Lahaina everything went perfect !! The shuttle to and from the rental car was right on time. We love exploring on our own and seeing all the beauty Lanai has to offer. We highly recommend this excursion if you like the open road and are up for adventure !!

We went just amour every where the Jeep would take us. We saw so many cool things, enjoyed a lunch on the beach and brought the Jeep back covered in dirt! :) my husband and our two teenage daughters really enjoyed the time we spent on Lāna’i. Will definitely do this again!!

This was a great way to get away for some private time with the wife. From the Ferry ride to picking up the Jeep. This trip was great. Being able to drive all over the island was cool. Getting to the beautiful secluded beach was the best. Cant wait to get back to Lanai. Made us want to book a vacation here next time.

一度は行ってみたいと思って、フェリーチケットのみではなく観光付きのプランを探しもうしこみましたが、がっかりのツアーでした。
高いお金を払て参加するツアーではなかったなという感想です。
ラナイ島はラハイナから見るだけで十分でした。

Planning this trip was so easy! We've tried to book this before, but due to too much rain it was cancelled. My husband and I took the ferry from Lahaina to Lanai. What a super smooth ride! We met a shuttle driver who took us to our rental car agency to get our Jeep. Lanai City is super friendly and we toured down to Shipwreck Beach and to the church. We loved every minute of our day and highly recommend this adventure! You won't be disappointed!

二人のみの プライベート ツアー でした。
初めての ラナイ島、 効率よく 案内していただけました。
残念だったことは、 当方の 英語力の 無さでしたが、 30%くらいは
分かったつもりになって 楽しめました。
ラナイ島は ハワイアンの 原風景や、 日系 移民(棄民)の名残も 感じられ
ワイキキや オアフ島に ない魅力が イッパイで、 何度でも 行きたい場所の
一つです。 風と 波と 鳥の 3W の世界は、 原始的で 素朴で 少し 怖い
くらい の 魅力に 溢れています です

We took a half-day trip from Maui to Lanai on November 12, with a guided tour of Lanai. It was a fabulous, educational experience and the highlight of our 11-day trip to Maui. Our guide, Bruce, was exceptionally knowledgeable on the island's history. He made the trip so enjoyable and, with the small number of people on each tour, it was very interactive. The online booking process was so easy. We were able to pick the exact date we needed to fit in with our vacation plans. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

The Expeditions morning ferry ride was like being in an airplane. The vessel was really cold and it was such a smooth ride that it didn't feel like your on a boat. Once you get to Manele Harbor the shuttle is waiting for you to take you to Lanai City. To make the most of our time in Lanai our family paid the driver the extra $10 per person for the shuttle ride but it was definitely worth it. We all shared the excitement of how the trees are all beautifully aligned along the roads. The attendant at the jeep rental gave us a map and some local tips of where to visit and eat. Being it was an early ferry ride, nothing was open so early around Lahaina Harbor we got our breakfast at the only gas station in Lanai. We started the Munro Trail but after getting mosquito bites we decided to turn around and head towards the Garden of the Gods. It was my first time driving a jeep so I was a bit nervous but the trail ahead of the Garden was much more bumpy and thrilling. Once we saw the dark clouds, we decided to make a u turn and head towards Lanai City. It was so nice to be driving on paved road again!!! The ferry ride back to Lahaina was nothing like the morning ride but with all the bumpiness you experience on the jeep I wasn't sure if was just the feeling of it or if was actually bumpy. My only regret us we left the Pineapple Island without seeing a pineapple plant!!!! Thank you Expeditions for finally making my dream of visiting Lanai possible!

Renting a jeep to explore Lanai was the best decision we made on our vacation! Renting the jeep gave us the ability to really go explore the island. When we arrived to lanai on the ferry we caught a shuttle ride that took us to Lanai City and dropped us off at the jeep rental office. From there we spent a little bit of time checking out some of the small shops in Lanai City before grabbing some lunch to take with us. The first place we went was the Garden of the Gods, which is a rock garden area that resembles the surface of Mars more than Hawaii. It is impossible to describe the overwhelming peace and untouched beauty of this place. From there we continued on to Polihua Beach. The off road trail starts to get a little more rugged and we locked the Jeep into four wheel drive, this is where the real fun began. At the end of the trail was the deserted and untouched Polihua Beach. We made this our lunch spot but did not stay long. Our next destination was Shipwreck Beach. Here we found the hiking trail that leads to the ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs. It was maybe a 10 minute hike from where we parked the jeep to the site with the petroglyphs. At first we were not able to see any, but you must climb up a few feet to see the more well preserved petroglyphs. After the petroglyphs and shipwreck beach we went back to Lanai City to return the jeep and catch a ride back down to the harbor. We intentionally turned the Jeep in a little bit early so that we could have plenty of time to snorkel at Hulopo'e beach before boarding the ferry to return to Maui. Hulopo'e Beach was absolutely incredible. In my opinion, it is the best snorkel spot in the entire state of Hawaii! The only thing I would change would have been to take the early ferry over to Lanai and the last ferry of the day to depart from Lanai. Lanai may be a small island, but there is more there than you can explore in one day.

Steve was our driver/guide on the Lanai Full Day Tour.
He is a very knowledgeable guide and answered all our numerous questions. He is also an excellent driver.
Despite the fact that our tour was cut short by about 2 hours due to the cancellation of the last ferry because of bad weather, we were able to see everything on our list.
Thanks Steve for making our Lanai trip so memorable.

復路は14:00発のフェリー。
SUVでの案内は10:30で終了。
足の無い初めての島で3時間半何をしろと言うのか?
最初から教えてくれれば計画も立てられたのに残念でした。

ラハイナ港のメインローディングドック集合だったが、そこには、誰も迎えがなく、ラナイ島行フェリーチケット売り場でこのバウチャーを見せてみたら、ぴったしカンカン、ここで、このツアーのチケットが用意されていた。
フェリーに揺られ到着直前には、景勝地であるプウ・ペヘ(スイートハート・ロック)を海側から見ながら45分でマネレ港に到着した。4WDツアー案内人(日系2世で祖父は福岡の出身とのことであるが、日本語は少しか話せず、一度は日本に行きたいが、ラスベガスでお金儲けできず、行ったことはないとのこと)に迎えられ、私たちとテキサスからの夫婦計4人のツアーが始まった。フェリーから見てると、どこに人が住んでいるのかという気配が全くない島であったが、20分ほど山を登っていくと、島のほとんどの人口(約3000人)が集結している??ラナイシティに到着。ここには、ビルはない、スーパーもない、娯楽施設は映画館は一軒、レストランは2,3軒?、ただ、教会は14軒あるとのこと。だが、Lグレードの高級ホテルが2軒ある。ここに宿泊される人たちは、観光ではなく、ゆったりとした時間をすごされる違う世界の人たちだと思われる。この街を周回して、神々の庭園と呼ばれるケアヒアカベロに向かい、北上していく道沿いにはパインツリーが整然と植樹されており、少し道路から離れたところには、野生のシカの家族が多く見られた。ここら一帯は、パイナップル農場だったとのことであるが、一部は馬牧場が運営されていた。道沿いには、パイナップル農場で使用していたらしい黒色のシートフィルムが細切れになり、散乱し環境汚染になっているという話があった。どんどん北上すると、さすがに4WDなのかがわかる超でこぼこ道にゆられて赤土の大地に、大きな岩や奇形の石などが至る所に散在するケアヒアカベロに到着。ここからは、すぐそこにモロカイ島も見ることができた。私たちは、半日ツアーであり、もう一か所、運が良ければ、モンクシールやホヌ(亀)に会えるとのことでシップレック(難破船)の見える場所に行き、ビーチウォークしたが、残念ながら見ることはできなかった。そこを離れ、ラナイシティに戻り1日ツアーのテキサスのご夫婦と別れ、マネレ港に出港時間の10分前に到着し、無事、乗船できた。帰りの船は、行と異なり、かなりの大波を受けながらの45分であった。ハワイ諸島のなかでも、こじんまりとしていて、ゆっくり時間が流れている静かな島をほんの少し体感できた。残すは、あと一つ、モロカイ島。いつ、訪れるか検討中。

マウイ島から船で気軽に行けるという事で、ラナイ島に行ってみました。そこは、全く想像していなかったとにかく、とても素晴らしい島でした!!
地球の始まりと言うか、自然はこうやって生まれていった。みたいな・・・始まりの場所。
中でも一番素晴らしくまた訪れてみたいと思った所はスイートハート・ロック!! 悲恋の伝説がある為か、誰も手をつけられない景観!ダイナミック過ぎる(≧∀≦)空も海も青い!ずーっと眺めていたかった。
そしてぇ!ガイドのIsaacさんが最高〜〜♪英語のおぼつかない私達にとにかく一生懸命に説明してくださり、お昼の心配までしてくれて感謝感謝です(≧∀≦)
絶対!!またIsaacさんのツアーに参加したいと思いました♪素敵な思い出を沢山ありがとうございました\( ˆoˆ )/

For anyone who comes to Maui frequently an eventual day trip to Lana’i is a welcome diversion. The 45 minute ferry ride is relaxing with great cliff views approaching Manele Harbor. Our tour included a morning drive with high point and view stops and a tour of Lana’i City, a lunch/shopping break and another drive to cover some more points of interest. Lana’ Is a bit of a time warp with both an ancient history and a new future with its purchase by Oracle founder Larry Ellison. The best part was our tour guide, Bruce, who gave the day his all. Loved it! Take cash as it’s so tiny some places do not accept credit cards. We had a 5 year old in our group of 5 who did great. If you are curious take the whole tour. There is also one lovely beach you can walk to from the ferry if you just want to chill.

We have been coming to Maui for years but have never ventured off the island to visit Lana'i. First of all, Veltra allowed us to change the tour date from a Monday to a Thursday with no problem since we had a conflict come up. The ferry ride from Lahaina was easy and took about 45 minutes. The sea was very calm and although they recommend taking sea sickness pills, it wasn't necessary for this trip. Our tour guide Bruce, met us at the ferry dock on Lana'i. He drove us around in an air conditioned Suburban which was very comfortable. It was just the two of us so the tour was really personalized. We took the full day tour which really gives you a great impression of the island. The tour was about 2 1/2 hours in the morning, then an hour for lunch and 2 hours in the afternoon. Bruce, our guide has lived on Lana'i for 20 years and was very knowledgeable. He has seen the positive changes that have occurred on Lanai' since Larry Ellison bought the island five years ago and thoroughly explained the evolution of the island through the current day. We were then dropped off at the ferry dock for the 4:30 p.m. ferry back to Lanai--note, you need to book the return ferry when you schedule the tour and for the all day tour, the 4:30 p.m. ferry is the one to take.

We have visited Maui for many years. We have always said we need to do a day trip to one of the lesser visited islands. So we chose Lanai. The tour package was inclusive, so all we had to do was show up. The ferry ride was quite nice. Your your guide was very informative about the history of Lanai. It was nice to see the island that was not over developed. Who knows how long it can stay that way, but we really enjoyed it. As the guide mentioned there is not much to do on Lanai, so the half day tour worked out well for us. Never the less we enjoyed our trip.

Garrett was the best guide to discover lanai. You can feel his love for his homeplace.
The tour was very good organized. Even the flexebility to rebook to the earlier ferry to return.
To our opinion it is almost impossible to find the ways on lanai without a guide.

This was an awesome tour by Bruce. He was very informative and a wealth of knowledge of the island. We went places and saw scenery and beaches that we would have never gotten to if we would have been on our own with a jeep. We were very pleased and would recommend this tour to anyone. We really enjoyed it.

The ferry ride was VERY rough on trip over to Lana I. Many roads not open due to recent rain. We enjoyed hiking in Shipwreck beach and seeing the landscape. The cat sanctuary was the highlight of the day. Walking arount town was pleasant. We enjoyed visiting the shops. Probably wouldn't return unless we were assured that more roads were open. Staff was quite accommodating.
