About Expeditions - 4x4 Trekker Tour
Trade Maui's bustle for the quiet of Lanai on this full-day adventure. Your morning starts at Maalaea Harbor, where the Expeditions ferry boards for a 75-minute cruise across the Auau Channel. Keep your camera ready—on clear days you'll spot Molokai, Kahoolawe and the ridges of West Maui along the way.
Docking at Manele Harbor, you'll meet your local guide and climb into an air-conditioned 4x4. Over the next three and a half hours, bump along red-dirt roads to remote beaches, ironwood forests and the otherworldly boulder fields of Garden of the Gods. Stories of ancient chiefs, shipwrecks and plantation days bring the island's quiet landscapes to life.
Back at Manele Harbor you can choose the early ferry to Maui at 1:00 pm or linger, grab lunch at the Four Seasons Lanai and catch the 5:30 pm sailing instead.
