"Pleasant in every way"

I have taken the Expeditions ferry roundtrip probably 25 times over the years to visit friends on Lana'i. On every occasion the experience has been punctual, professional and pleasant in every way. Can't recommend them enough.

"Great trip back and forth"

It was a great trip back and forth to Lanai for the day ! Crew are amazing and they know what they are doing. Saw lots of whales both ways which was an added bonus.

"Magical"

A very comfortable ride. On the 6:45 shuttle to Lana’i we got to watch a fiery sunrise through the clouds over Haleakala and the full moon set right on top of Lana’i. Magical.

Wildfire Recovery Update

Expeditions will continue to work tirelessly to return our services to their pre-disaster levels but there will continue to be growing pains, changes and delays associated with our return to “normal”. Once again, we ask for your patience and understanding as our staff and business recover from this tragic event.

We are very happy to see most of our displaced crew and reservationists return to work. Some have made the decision to move on. Training our new vessel crew and office staff to the highest level of competence and professionalism takes time, rest assured that proper training that ensures your safety is our highest priority.

We continue to offer our thoughts and prayers to those suffering loss in our community.

As in recent weeks, our plan is still fluid. We are doing our best to meet the needs of our community and to keep you updated as we grow.
