What people are saying about Lanai

Wonderful excursion and 10/10 would recommend and do it again! Captain Chase, James, Amanda, and Sylvia were so much fun, so knowledgeable, sweet and very attentive! They absolutely made the trip that much better. We got lucky and got to see dozens of dolphins swimming around and had plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful waters to snorkel and explore!

This snorkeling experience was the best we’ve ever been on! The crew was fantastic-always checking in on us- there was plenty of food and drink, we got to snorkel for over an hour, there were lots of picture opportunities, and they provided prescription goggles. We had a FANTASTIC experience. Highly recommend!

It was our first time snorkeling and our group had such a blast! The entire experience was so worth it. The attendants are so sweet and the captain is a hoot! The breakfast is light but filling and lunch was 10/10. Kudos to whoever made the pasta salad!

This was an amazing experience. The staff on the boat were super friendly and very attentive. We went to a great spot for snorkeling and enjoyed every minute. I would highly recommend this tour and would do it again if I return to Maui.

Worth every dime! Courteous, friendly crew. Good timely boat and snorkel experience.
