What a great trip! One snorkel site and dolphin searching along the south coast of Lanai, and then the Lanai Explorer lands at Manele Bay Harbor. You get to spend three hours on the island of Lanai, exploring some fabulous isolated beaches that are a 7-10 minute walk away.. More great snorkeling is available at the beach, and don't miss the fascinating tide pools found nearby (see the amazing photo above). This 6.5 hour trip is perfect for people who want to go on a snorkel trip to Lanai, but who don't want to spend the entire time on the boat. During the three hours on the island you are on your own and free to go off on your own. Breakfast and a deli lunch are included. The boat is fast, fun, and comfortable with a maximum capacity of 35. Not recommended for anyone with neck or back injuries or pregnant women. Minimum age for this tour is 5. Exceptions may be made for kids who are 4 years old and particularly adventurous and are good swimmers.

NOTE: The Lanai Explorer with Landing is the single most highly recommended activity by our clients. Here is an email we received on 6/14/2006.  

"I just wanted to let you know that the Lanai Explorer w/ landing trip was the best trip ever!  I will never forget the snorkeling experience that I had.  My whole family enjoyed it.  They packed a mean lunch that fed us the whole time we were on the island.  Just to experience this was once in a lifetime, but if I do come back I will definitely take this trip again."  J McKernan, Lafayette, OR

We have another client who did this tour back in 2005 and loved it so much, that they booked it TWICE for their trip to Maui in 2006.

Unfortunately NCL cruise ship passengers who are in port in Kahului are NOT able to do the Lanai Explorer with Landing tour.  This tour CAN work for Lahaina cruise ship passengers on their first day in port for the 9:30am trip OR the second day in port for the 7:00am trip as this tour departs right next to the cruise ship tender in Lahaina.

Lanai Explorer Dolphin Trip (no landing)

This tour is operated on the same boats that do the Lanai Landing, but with a shorter itinerary. Instead of landing at Manele Harbor and giving you three hours to explore the island of Lanai, the boat goes to a second snorkel stop of about an hour in length. Two snorkel sites, breakfast, deli lunch, and dolphin watching in a 4.5 hour trip. This tour is available on Monday through Saturday. List: $89  Internet special: $79, kids 5-12 $54

Not recommended for anyone with neck or back injuries or pregnant women. Minimum age for this tour is 5. Exceptions may be made for kids who are 4 years old and particularly adventurous and are good swimmers.

Lanai Explorer has a $3 per person fuel surcharge which is added to the above rates.

 

NCL cruise ship passengers are able to do the Lanai Explorer (no landing) on their second day in port in Kahului but it requires a one hour drive to Lahaina. We can arrange a rental car for you for $39 per day. For rental cars with cruise ship shuttle pick-up see our rental car page.  This tour can also work for Lahaina cruise ship passengers on their second day in port as this tour departs right next to the cruise ship tender in Lahaina.

Ocean Riders is the ultimate Lanai adventure, completely circling the island in a zodiac raft. See shipwrecks, take a short stroll on a remote beach, enjoy three outstanding snorkel sites, and zoom in and out of every nook and cranny of the coastline. Lanai has some unbelievable scenery and wild rock formations ... and with Ocean Riders you get to see it all! For thrill seekers, this is the trip for you! It also offers you the ultimate get-away adventure. They are going to snorkel at places where other snorkel boats just don't go.

This trip is limited to 16 people per day ... children under 5 are not permitted. No one who is pregnant or has neck or back injuries is allowed. Sound like the sign posted at the entrance of a roller coaster??? Maybe a little ... but after all, this trip is the ADVENTURE of a lifetime. 

NCL cruise ship passengers are able do Ocean Riders on their second day in port in Kahului but it requires an hour drive to Lahaina. We can arrange a rental car for you for $39 per day. For rental cars with cruise ship shuttle pick-up see our rental car page.  Lahaina cruise ship passengers can do this tour on their second day in port and it requires a 5 minute cab ride to get to the boat ramp.

I acknowledge that I have read the booking procedures and wish to submit my itinerary for processing.

 

Upon submitting your activity reservation for processing, we will make reservations for you and send an e-mail confirming all of the details. These confirmations are often sent a few minutes after your reservation, but some activities take longer to confirm than others. You will receive an e-mail confirmation by the end of the next business day at the latest. There are no tickets that you need to pick up prior to your event. Your e-mail confirmation will have all the details you need to check in and enjoy your selected activity. This saves you precious time when you come to Maui! 

Please be sure that you have typed your email address perfectly; an incorrect address will prevent you from getting your confirmation details, and we will have no way of knowing that you never received your confirmation. We cannot be responsible for errors that clients make which causes them to miss their tour. If you do not see your email confirmation within 24 hours please call us right away to check on the status of your order.

A credit card is required to guarantee payment for your reservations, but in almost all cases your credit card is not immediately charged when your order is placed. Your credit card is typically charged five days before you leave for Hawaii, and a voucher is faxed to the vendor. (Some activities are charged at the time of check-in and your e-mail confirmation will inform you if this is the case). Any activities that will be charged at the time of order will be clearly marked "Payment is required at the time of reservation." 

For activities charged by Adventuremaui.com five days before the start of your vacation, If you cancel your activity after your credit card has been charged you will receive a full credit to apply to another tour or activity during your vacation. If you don't use that credit before you leave the island, a refund of 90% will be processed on your credit card. 

After making reservations, you may reschedule or cancel your activity up until 48 hours prior to its start (a few activities have 72 hour cancellation policies ... see your confirmation e-mail for details). Within 48 hours of the start of your activity all reservations are final and non-refundable (unless the event is cancelled by the vendor due to weather or other factors). Due to our incredible climate weather cancellations are rare, but in those cases you will receive a 100% refund. No-shows and cancellations without adequate notice are charged in full on the credit card used to secure the reservation and are non-refundable.

 

Activity Tips

A Lanai dolphin adventure is a must-do on my list of Maui activities. If you have time for two snorkel boat tours, go to Molokini and Lanai. If you only have time for one, go to Lanai!!! The reef there is just as good as Molokini (better in places) with lots of fish and turtles ... and there are a lot less people.

Lanai trips are definitely a good way to go for people staying in the West Maui area (Kapalua, Kahana, Honokowai, Kaanapali, and Lahaina). Lanai trips leave from Lahaina, so much less driving is involved than most of the Molokini boats. 

While none of the Lanai trips GUARANTEE dolphin sightings, it is unusual to not encounter dolphins along the south coast of Lanai. Your chances of seeing dolphins is in the 85-90% range.

Lots of people ask if they can swim with the dolphins. The honest answer is "probably not." The dolphins are a protected species, and it is illegal for boats to throw you in the water when they encounter the dolphins as this alters their behavior. Once in a while a boat will stop to snorkel and the dolphins will approach out of curiosity. If this happens, enjoy the moment ... you are truly blessed. Don't plan on it happening. You will likely see plenty of activity just watching them from the boat ... the large pod of spinner dolphins at Lanai is very active. You will likely witness acrobatic behavior and dolphins will probably swim on both sides of the bow of the boat just a few feet away from you.

My recommendations on Lanai trips ... for adventure go with Ocean Riders rafting.  And to actually land on Lanai and spend some time there, go with the Lanai Explorer with Landing.
