    4th of July drink!
    Anna G.

    Wow! What an incredible experience with the Trilogy team! Captain Carrie and her crew of Kevin, Bex and Morgan went above and beyond during our snorkeling trip! We started off the morning with homemade cinnamon roles and POG juice - so delicious! We went snorkeling at Honolua Bay and it was absolutely incredible. We saw beautiful coral, colorful fish and even sea turtles!! I had to squeeze my husband's hand because it was so magical!! After snorkeling, we ate lunch consisting of teriyaki chicken, rice, and salad! We were stuffed and the crew came around asking if anyone wanted seconds. On our sail home, we got the special 4th of July drink (since it was 4th of July, of course) which was a twist on their margarita. We had 2 glasses and then they served ice cream for dessert. Overall it was an incredible experience and I would recommend them to anyone staying in Maui! Our crew was super friendly, knowledge and made sure we got everything we needed. Thank you Trilogy team for making our snorkeling experience unforgettable!!

    We've been on a few Trilogy sails now and every one is as fantastic as the last- today was serviced by Chris & Caydn & the thing about Trilogy is that is always feels calm, relaxed and a little bit like family Nice to see them leaving out of Lāhainā again- we mostly snorkel on our own around Hawaii but my family has great memories with Trilogy and we'd like to see them succeed post fire - they've been back in Lāhainā now for a month (using other ports as well before this reopened) and have that same Aloha spirit they're known for (don't sleep on the cinnamon rolls, lunch, drinks and ice cream sundaes: all on your sail!) To me they're the only company to sail with

    This is by far the best excursion on the island. Come hungry, they feed you constantly. The staff is exceptional ask for Seamus, Rachel and Helen. They are an awesome team. We will do this every year. Thank you Trilogy for hiring such awesome staff.

    Exceptional service from all decks on hand, quite literally. From the moment the first mate, Brayden, helped you on board to the accommodating service provided by Katherine it was a perfect evening. We boarded and set sail promptly at 5:00 pm, returning just shy of 8:00 pm. Once settled on board, drinks were served, appetizers were spaced out, dinner service was confirmed and dessert with coffee rounded out the evening. We coasted along with a few key whale shots, the wind picked up, so the captain anchored down in the five, Kate literally put on her snorkel gear and tied off in the middle of the ocean. We treaded for dinner service with an open bar. The service was phenomenal, the staff made you feel like you were catching up with old friends. Laughter was contagious.during dessert blankets were passed out for the journey back to the marina, if it got too windy you could go inside instead of braving the elements. A true 10/10 experience...boom you sunset cruise, dinner cruise or snorkel by day excursion you will not be disappointed.

    After over 10 years, we were back on Maui and ready to do another Trilogy cruise. This time we did a Sunset Whale Watching cruise. We left from Maalaea Harbor and took a 2-hour cruise that included drinks and heavy appetizers. The crew were amazing and made sure we had everything we needed, as well as answered all of our questions about whales. We saw so many whales and had a wonderful time! Our 5-year-old loved sitting on the net in the front of the boat and the warm chocolate chip cookies at the end. We highly recommend Trilogy and will be back next time we are on Maui!

    If I could give 10 stars I would!! The best service, great food, beautiful boat, amazing adventure! We started our sail at 7:00am to Lani. It was a 1.5 hour boat ride over. They served us a cinnamon roll with fruit and an egg croissant sandwich. After we arrived we took a short hike to an overlook, then snorkeled, built a sand castle, and ended our trip with lunch. Lunch was amazing!! It was teriyaki chicken, noodles, salad and roll. There were yard games that my 3 year old loved! Then on our way back we were served alcoholic drinks (mai tais were great), then an ice cream sundae. As we approached the dock they even gave us a cold towel smelling of eucalyptus! It was a great experience from start to finish! Everyone on board went above and beyond! They even gave extra help to my brother with Down Syndrome trying to help/encourage him to snorkel. I would highly recommend trilogy!

    Best vegan lunch in Hawaii is where? On the Trilogy!

    Absolutely extraordinary. Captain Nick was the stuff. He even helped get a whale help from NOAA while we were on board (sick whale, possibly entangled, reported by Cap'n Nick!). Maurice took care of us like a Baywatch guardian! He rode the waves on his boogies board and watched out for us. We felt very safe knowing he was our sheepdog! Clay was hilarious but made sure we knew how to snorkel safely (and to look good doing it!). He had us laughing but he definitely wants you to do the right thing and be safe. Brooke shared her experience with Manta rays with me! She showed me her video. She was also really helpful while we were hanging out with a dolphin! She knews her stuff. This crew is off the chain, I imagine them hanging out on the land, all a bunch of dedicated and kind hearted people who love the ocean and its inhabitants! We are vegan and were afraid we would be met with scorn. Opposite was true! Two different crew members said to us, "are you my vegans?" It was so loving and kind, and not with the usual side eye. They made a scrumptious lunch for us - salad, quinoa and chickpea salad, and a delicious wrap. Even the coffee was amazing. The snorkeling was off the chain. Such great locations they brought us to - first on the Molokini crater, with tons of great fish. We even spotted an eel out there! The next spot was Turtle Town. We saw lots of fish and had an excellent time in the water. We spotted dolphins on our way back, and saw loads of humpbacks on the way out and back in - yes, including our sick friend, who I hope has gotten some help since we were out there.

    Trilogy has been our go to whenever we are on Maui. We went on a sunset cruise this time. The catamaran was in pristine condition, staff were friendly and food was excellent!

    Absolutely amazing trip from Lahaina to Lanai for snorkeling. I didn't snorkel but my kids did and they had the best time, so so many great sealife. As I stayed on the boat, because I'm old! lol I was taken such great care of by the staff, esp. Mia and Duke and Kevin and the Captain who brought me drinks, food and shade! We saw spinner dolphins and spent some time watching them off the bow of the cat, which was brand new and beautiful. Usually the head (bathroom) isn't the best but this one was pristine.

    We had the best time on our snorkeling tour today! It was our first snorkeling tour, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. My husband was also snorkeling for the first time and was (not so quietly) terrified, but Will made him feel so much safer and more comfortable in the water. Will, Nicholas, Zac, and Catherine were all so wonderful - they made us feel welcomed and excited from the moment we arrived. Lila was also great and so much fun to take photos with! The entire experience was fantastic, and the food and drinks were delicious as well. We had such an amazing time and will absolutely be booking more tours in the future. Highly recommend!

    Thank you to the Trilogy staff for a wonderful cruise in Maalaea Bay. We went on the Captains dinner cruise for our last night in Maui. It was great. Food was excellent. Drinks were flowing. Staff was friendly , accommodating, and just awesome!!! This will be a memory of a lifetime for us. Thank you !!! Mahalo!!!

    Ralph And Ellen O.

    We took a Molokini Tour on 4/11/26 and had an Awesome time .. check in was simple, the boat did not feel crowded at all, staff were fantastic !! We were almost immediately served breakfast and some drink options , and headed out to the crater. We snorkeled two different locations and both were perfect with coral and fish in abundance. On the way back we were served a hearty lunch and cocktails. It was the end of whale season but we saw several on the trip which was great. I would not hesitate to go on Trilogy again and would highly recommend them to everyone !!!

    Ask the Community - Trilogy Excursions

    Hi, we have 2.5 yr old with us? Will we be still able to participate in the snorkeling activities?

    Likely not, to young

    We are coming in January to take your tour. Is it likely that we will get seasick? Do people often get seasick on your tours?

    No one on our tour was sick. It is very open and fairly smooth sailing the whole way.

    Is there toilets on the boat to lanai?

    We had two of them onboard. They are tiny but functional. If you plan to change in there I wouldn't especially since it's lower on the vessel and can get rocky

    How many passengers are on a snorkeling tour?

    We went in late May (2022) and there were approx 30. When we booked the 6:30am boat (to Lanai), the 10:00am was sold out. (So maybe less ppl on the early morning sail?) If… 

    Looking for recommendations for the best snorkeling tour with Trilogy this Sept/Oct?

    I definitely recommend trilogy, my friend went on a different tour the day before me to molokini, when comparing our experiences our was way better by far, the food drinks and space aboard our boat was better by far

    My husband walks with a cane and has some mobility issues. Is there a tour for him?

    We did the sunset sail on Maui and it was very accessible. You're sitting the entire ride. They feed you an amazing dinner with drinks! It's wonderful!

    How long were the snorkel swim times? I've had some let you go for a couple hours which still flies by. Some I've only got a dip in for 30 mins and it felt so rushed.

    We took the 6:30 tour. Once there, we walked to the beach, got a safety talk, then had until 11 to meet for lunch (or 10 for a "nature walk". So, plenty of time to snorkel.

    Is it a big boat? How many people can be on board?

    Big is relative. It holds around 50 people. You will have plenty of space and seating. Obviously some seats are more sought after than others but it really depends on the person

    I emailed customer service but haven't heard back. Adding the Snuba option is pricey. How long do you actually get to Snuba for? Is it just at one of the two stops (we're looking at the Molokini Tour?

    Great question! I’d recommend being cautious with the SNUBA option on the Molokini tour. When booking online, Trilogy presents SNUBA as a single $90 upgrade ($79.85 plus taxes/fees), which makes it seem like the full experience. What’s not disclosed… 

    Read where it says they provide flotation devices (required for safety reasons). Are you required to wear them while snorkeling?

    Yes. They want to be able to see people snorkeling plus it helps you be in the snorkeling position. They have the flotation belt or a vest. Better safe than sorry!!

    Are any floatation devices or life vests provided? My mom cannot swim very well. Will she still be able to snorkel with a vest?

    Trilogy provides a belt style flotation device. They also have boogie boards you can hold onto.

    Staying on Maui and looking for a good snorkel tour. This company has great reviews but there are many different tours. Which would you recommend for the best snorkeling? Thanks!

    We researched a number of the snorkeling options s before making our final plans and chose Trilogy. We are so happy we did. It was a highlight of our trip. The crew was great. The Snuba guide had a Marine Biology background and was extremely… 

    I'm traveling alone will it be fun?

    I think you will enjoy it! There were lots of couples (we were celebrating our anniversary) and there were also groups of friends who went. The crew is awesome and we were lucky enough to see a mama with her calf. The food was great too!

    What is the best sailing to take with a baby?

    Aloha Jennifer B. and mahalo for your question! We have found that the Discover Lanaʻi tour can be one of the best options for touring with a baby. This tour leaves Lahaina and sails to the island of Lanaʻi where guests get off the boat and can…

For us, we prefer the Sunset Cocktail cruise as it's the perfect amount of food and drinks. This last trip, we took the whole family for the express snorkel trip. It's a shorter trip, which worked perfectly for the younger kids and didn't tie up a big amount of island time. Captain Nick and his crew was all about making sure all had a great time while keeping safety at the top of mind. They guaranteed we'd see turtles... we did! Immediately. I accused them of being remote controlled because they were there right on cue! I'm not a big snorkel guy, but I had a blast. We'll keep returning to Sea Maui. Greatest crew on Maui !!

    On our vacation to Maui last week, we took trips out to the sea with Sea Maui twice. Our first trip…read moreout was an adults-only family excursion while the kids hung out with their grandma and auntie. The catamaran was pretty sweet, with some really comfy bean bags overlooking the edge out to the ocean. While we did occasionally get splashed in this area, it was worth the unobstructed view of the sunset and the breeze in my hair. The crew was especially sweet and treated all of us like absolute royalty. A note to those who are prone to motion sickness: do not try to be brave and only wear sea bands thinking you'll be okay. Take your Dramamine an hour before you board the catamaran. While the first half of our dinner cruise was fine with my motion sickness, the second half of the trip left me feeling really queasy around dinner service time. This made me very sad. This was no fault of the crew, and 100% my fault for thinking I could tough it out. If you are ill-prepared, the crew has ginger ale, club soda and ginger chews to help. Speaking of dinner, the few bites I was able to eat on our first trip were fantastic: a full dinner buffet prepared by Cafe Jai. The salmon was perfectly tender, as was the short rib. The caesar salad was just the right amount of tangy (and the extra dressing was really great on the salmon as well.) I'm not sure what kind of sauce was on the crispy seasoned potatoes but they were absolutely delightful. And of course, the crown on top of a delicious meal was the mini brownie cup we were served for dessert before we wrapped up the trip. Our second trip (where I was prepared with some Dramamine) was a memorial for our grandparents, where we released their cremains at sea with eco-urns. I must say that the crew handled everything wonderfully. We had the full bar, another beautiful buffet spread including some delicious crispy chicken, a pesto pasta salad, pulled beef sliders, and rolls. After we said our emotional goodbyes, we were given rose petals to release into the ocean. We even received certificates after the trip that gave us the coordinates of where my grandparents cremains were released. I seriously cannot thank Sea Maui enough for giving my family a truly memorable experience on our trip to Maui. They made our trip so special. A million thanks for the kindness!

We booked the 7 AM tour, which lasted about 2.5 hours, and it was absolutely worth waking up early for. The check-in location can be a little confusing to find, but the locals around the area are super helpful--just ask someone nearby and they'll point you in the right direction. The weather was perfect that morning, and we were lucky enough to see several whales. The highlight of the tour was a close encounter with two whales that came incredibly close to the boat--it almost felt like they were curious and checking us out. It was such a surreal and unforgettable moment. We also learned so many interesting and unique facts about whales throughout the tour. A special shout-out to Captain Kelly and our whale guru Cassy--they made the entire experience so fun, engaging, and informative. It honestly felt like we were out on the ocean with friends rather than on a tour. If you're considering a whale watching tour, I can't recommend Ultimate Whale Watch enough. It was truly a memorable experience!

    This is a hard review to write. I have supported them for a long time (9 years out of the 17 I've…read moretraveled to Maui). My family and I went on a snorkeling tour today and two of the areas we were gonna snorkel that we could not, and it was due to inclement weather / high surf. Now I know they cannot control the weather however, there's no way in my mind they received a clean weather report prior to going out. The swells and the waves were so large. The boat was rocking so bad. There is a predicted tropical storm/cyclone in two days, so I cannot imagine that a clean weather report was provided, and if it was the person who gave it should be looked into. Then they took us to another place where we were able to snorkel, but it was sub par at best. Before we took the tour, the staff at Pacific whale told us that food and drink will be offered on the boat however, no alcoholic beverages will be served prior to snorkeling. This was later changed by the captain of the boat, possibly due to the fact that we were unsuccessful as snorkeling at the first two sites and time was slipping away. It makes it seem like safety went from being number one the most important to number two. Also, the staff on the boat, we're not the greatest. It took almost 20 minutes to anchor and secure our boat in order for us to finally go snorkeling, which obviously cut into the amount of time we actually had. I later overheard the captain talking to the staff member about the issues that were there when she was trying to tie the boat up. I overheard him saying well you learned this time hopefully next time it'll be better, but that did not help our current situation. While, many of their tours are great and you may have very little issues. Be careful when booking especially if there is turbulent weather ahead or it is during hurricane season make sure you check the weather report, even if others who work there do not.

    Located in Maui, HI, the dock is in Lahaina. I came in the middle of February 12, 2026. I hear that…read morewhale season is end of December to April, with February being the peak month. Surely, we were surrounded by whales. I went on the 6:45am 2 hour Eco Raft tour. One boat tour holds around 12 persons. The temperature in Maui in February was fantastic, about 65F at night, and 75F at peak of day. It was great value, costing about $111 for the 2 hour tour. Keep in mind, you need to show up 30 minutes before the actual time to fill out waivers, etc. Many whales were a few feet away. There were so many whales! We must have seen 50+ individuals. See my video of baby whale breaching. I didn't capture alot of photos, because I would rather see it with my own eyes. Tip for those traveling in February: it's a peak travel season for Maui, so book your rental cars well in advance 10-12 months ahead. If you book 5-6 months ahead, you won't get any. You may try rental car with Turo, or have to rent E-bike, bike or take Lyft, Uber, etc. Clothing suggestions: depends on the time of day you go. For early mornings, you may wear shorts or long pants, something warm like sweatshirt or I did Patagonia fleece with lightweight Outdoor Research rainjacket on top. Shoes come off, so you will be barefoot on the boat and you will get the shoes back afterwards, so that won't matter. It's kind of windy, so hold on to or get a hat with a string that goes around your neck. Bring sunglasses, and put on sunblock while you're signing the waivers. You will not regret it if you come during whale season!
