DISCOVER LANAI BY LAND AND SEA
Enjoy a sailing adventure at Lana'i as you explore the island by sailboat, swimming, snorkeling, and the increasingly popular SNUBA. Then satisfy the more education-based side by taking a tour of Lana’i’s historic plantation town with a Hawaiian-born culture guide. Finish your experience with a Kaiwe wood BBQ dinner, complete with an iconic view of Manele Bay, and then a wet and wild or relaxing sail back to Maalaea Harbor. Adventure, relax and learn about Hawaii’s culture and scenery as you explore the richness of Lana’i.
The return sail to Maui can be restful and relaxing, or wet & wild, but it is always safe and lots of fun. So whether you are a sunrise or sunset kind-of-person, many of our guests write to tell us that discovering Lana‘i was the highlight of their whole vacation!

Sail From Maui to Lanai
We depart from Maalaea Harbor at around 10 am (seasonally we offer a sunrise departure at 6:30 am–this is the “Crew’s Favorite”) and begin our day with an island-style breakfast of Mom’s homemade cinnamon rolls, coffee, juice, and seasonal fruit. Deli snacks are also served onboard during the one-and-a-half-hour sail to this extraordinary island (10 am departure only). Because we are the only company with permission to bring guests to Hulopo’e Marine Preserve (Voted the #1 beach in America by Dr. Beach), we pay close attention to both your safety and comfort. Our Trilogy crew, as well as our island-born Beach Boys, are trained in CPR and First Aid and are experts at ensuring your safety in and out of the water.
Visit Some Amazing Landmarks
Experience the beauty of Hulopo'e Bay on Lana'i, recently voted the #1 beach in America by Dr. Beach. This protected Marine Preserve offers stunning views of coral reefs and a vibrant marine ecosystem. Dive in and discover an array of tropical fish and maybe even spot some dolphins! Upgrade your experience with our optional SNUBA adventure.
For those seeking even more excitement, take a scenic hike to the iconic Pu'u Pehe (Sweetheart) Rock. Or explore the nearby tide pools, ideal for young swimmers wanting to test their skills. Lace up your sandals and embark on an unforgettable island adventure.
Try a SNUBA Upgrade
Get up close and personal with Maui's marine wildlife with our optional SNUBA upgrade. Suitable for guests aged 8 and older (limited space available), SNUBA offers a safe and exciting way to explore the underwater ecosystem. Breathe underwater through a mouthpiece and air hose connected to a surface raft, while wearing a light harness for diving down to 20 feet. Experience the beauty of our reef and marine life up close and personal! Contact us to check availability for this tour.
