Review of Maui’s five-hour West Coast snorkel and sail to Lanai, with reef stops, whale watching, breakfast, lunch, and open bar.
“Our trip to Lanai was windy and choppy but that did not ruin the experience. The crew was so kind and friendly. The crews first priority was safety and that made me feel so comfortable on our trip. We had to find a calm spot to snorkel which took a while but the crew kept us informed and explained everything. The food was perfect and the drinks kept coming so I was very happy. One of my children got seasick (even though I gave her medicine before we got on) and the crew was so helpful and understanding. They are a wonderful crew and I would recommend this adventure for…”
