Well worth it. - We stayed in Lahaina so Lanai meant a hour less drive time to Molokini but about almost an hour longer boat ride. Trip was rough but boat is made to handle it. Reefs were fantastic and worth the trip. Staff was phenomenal. Much more personal than the big nboats.

Don't Miss Lanai! - Started well with good communication and loved the trip - Captain Dan is great and has so much history and humor, and we loved Nico as well! Saw several whales on our way out, had two fantastic snorkel stops and saw a massive spinner dolphin pod on the way back! Highly recommend!

Half day snorkel trip to Lanai - It is about an hour trip to the island. You snorkel for about an hour in the first spot, then move to a second location for about another hour. Then an hour trip back. The first spot had many tropical fish to see. Some of the guests saw a sea turtle as well. Second spot was good as well but I got a little seasick so make sure to take dramamine. On the way back, we saw a pod of about 50 spinner dolphins. Captain Dan was very experienced and helpful. His first mate Kono was very helpful and friendly and socialized with us a lot. They helped me feel better when I got sick as well. They had drinks and fruits and breads to snack on as well. The snorkeling equipment was in very good condition. Overall it was an outstanding experience even with getting seasick. I brought an underwater camera for some great pictures of the fish.

Fabulous snorkel tour - We got up very early for this snorkel tour and it was completely worth it. Dan took us to 2 wonderful spots to snorkel and then we were able to see about 30-40 spinner dolphins on our way back. Dan was a great captain - very informative about the gear and safety as well as making sure we were staying hydrated and fed. Crew member Konou was friendly and kept watch on us in the water. Both clearly wanted us to have a great time and we did. We highly recommend this tour!

Perfect day! - Half day snorkeling with Captain Dan was fantastic! Beautiful ride, fun watching the spinner dolphins frolic alongside our boat, and the snorkeling was other worldly!

Great experience - Great snorkeling trip to Lanai to a coast without any other tourists. Saw dolphins and many other colorful reef fish. Dave was serving us with fresh fruits and biskuits and drinks. Enjoyed it a lot!

Five stars; will do again! - We had a terrific time, and we REALLY loved the captain and crew. Captain Dan was knowledgeable and intent on all of us having a great snorkeling experience. Because conditions weren't ideal, he had to hunt for a good spot for us at Lanai...and he found a FANTASTIC one just past the lighthouse. The first mate Dave was extremely experienced, a great snorkeler, and also worked hard to make sure each person on the boat had the ideal experience.
The boat isn't fancy, but the ride was smooth, the drinks were cold, and we had pastries and fresh fruit to dine on as well.
We LOVED getting to snorkel some places that we couldn't drive to!

Above and beyond service - The boat staff were wonderful. We got lost before the boat trip, were running late, and the company asked another staff person to pick us up and drive us 2 miles to the launch site. We were so grateful!

Clearwaters choppy waves. - The tour operator called to reschedule our day because there weren’t enough people on their boat. Luckily, we were available for their next tour day. We met at 6:45 as they requested, but they spent the next hour loading up the boat with supplies and didn’t actually leave until 745. The ride to and from the island was extremely choppy! The tour operators were very nice and very helpful! The water was very clear and the snorkeling was great!

Try another more dependable vendor. - We received notice that our snorkeling tour was cancelled a couple hours after we had been sitting on the beach waiting for the boat to arrive to pick us up.
Poor communication and service.
