Take A Day Trip to Lana’i

Blog Post by Athena Walsh

The Island of Lanai is going through transformations since it was sold to Mr. Ellison in 2013. The Four Season Manele Bay Hotel has recently finished renovations and the Lodge at Koele is currently being renovated. Mr. Ellison hopes to make his Island self-sufficient and self-sustainable!

From Lanai’s 1,000 ft. Sea Cliffs, Blow Holes, Lava Caves, Arches and beautiful Beaches to it’s 2 Luxury Resorts, the Island of Lana’i is a must do for those looking to get away “from it all”.

Maui Sights and Treasures offers Ferry and Jeep Packages to explore the Island of Lana’i on your own. You can also purchase RT Ferry only. We also sell 4×4 Trekker Tours with RT Ferry. Let an Island guide show you around the Island of Lana’i and learn more about Hawaii… Save $20.00 per couple on our 4×4 guided Jeep discounted Tours.

The Lana’i Shuttle van that has always picked up passengers at the Ferry is no longer in service. If you are staying at one of the 4 Seasons Hotels, they do have a shuttle service for their guests.

The new Lana’i Shuttle company that has taken over is Rabaca Taxi Service. According to Neil Rabaca, the owner, he has a fleet of SUV’s and a 15 Passenger van for groups. You must make a reservation in advance. Call 808-565-6670 or call our office here at Maui Sights and Treasures at 808-879-6260 ext. #1. We can also make your Ferry reservation; $30.00 each way for Adults and reserve the taxi for you at that time.

Rental Jeeps

There are only Jeep Rentals at this time. (No Car Rentals)

It used to be there was only Dollar Rent a car renting Jeeps for $135 and up, now there are several options, however they are still $135 and up.

John at 808-280-7092 Rents Jeeps on Lana’i. Very nice guy, he gave me the info on some of the others….*Hint: Locals & Kama’aina living on Maui…do not use the 808 area code. This is a Maui phone # not Lana’i! I had the hardest time getting through, because i kept using the 808.

Bart at ABB Executive 808-649-0644  He has Jeeps, a BMW and Truck and I hear he is out of Hotel Lana’i. His ad says:  “ABB Executive Rentals has a small fleet of vehicles to choose from ranging from coupes, sedans, trucks and jeeps. Each vehicle at ABB Executive Rental will get you around the island and take you where you want to go, island style.
