Absolutely Incredible Excursion—Whales, Dolphins, and Snorkeling!

We had an absolutely incredible time on this whale and snorkel excursion! The departure location at Mala Ramp in Lahaina was incredibly easy to find. From start to finish, the staff was both friendly and highly knowledgeable. The boat itself was very comfortable, and because they limit the tour's capacity, the experience never felt crowded and was thoroughly enjoyable. The wildlife we saw was unforgettable—we lucked out and spotted bottlenose dolphins, spinner dolphins, and even a mother and baby humpback whale! We also got to snorkel at two absolutely beautiful stops. They kept us well-fed throughout the day, providing a nice continental breakfast, lunch, and a snack at the end, along with plenty of soda and water. The only downside—which was completely unavoidable—was that crossing the channel on the way back from Lanai to Maui was very choppy. If you have any neck or back issues, I would not suggest this excursion. But if that's not a concern for you, this is an awesome excursion and we thoroughly enjoyed our day trip!

Lanai Dolphin Trip

Nice trip! However, a microphone would have been helpful to hear instructions and info regarding aquatic life. Also, the sandwich would be best served without condiments as ours was soggy/wet- hate wasting food! Loved seeing whales (unexpected) and the spinner dolphins were amazing!

This experience was well...

This experience was well thought, organized, and executed! Our boat was less than 20 people, all families with varying ages. We had two adults and 5 kids from age 10-16. Our captains were kind, considerate, helpful, full of knowledge around the places we went. We got to see spinner dolphins, tons of fish, coral gardens, beautiful cliffs, blue water. They provided muffins, fruit, chips, drinks, sandwiches along the way. Would do it again any day. Great tour and loved the family friendly small intimate experience.

Amazing Snorkel Adventure!

We had an amazing time snorkeling at 4 different unique spots off of Lana’i. Captain Jill and Casey were so accommodating and great telling us all about the local reefs. The water was so clear it was like swimming in an aquarium. We looked for dolphins but we couldn’t find the pod. We will have to return again to go on their Whale tour in the winter.
