Nick and the crew were stellar. Everyone was friendly, efficient, and competent. I just wish we had brought beach towels to dry off during the rogue ocean sprays! Would definitely do another excursion with Trilogy in the future. read more

Discover Molokini Snorkel Tour was a blast. Kersten was a standout -- a true pro who made our 4-year-old feel like part of the crew. Everyone was kind, fun, and made snorkeling safe and easy. We even spotted some turtles (they'd set expectations we might not, which I appreciated). The photographer was great, and when a woman's hat blew off they treated it like a lighthearted "man overboard" drill -- sails spun, everyone laughing and cheering. All in good fun. Just a memorable day start to finish. I can totally see why Discover Molokini is the highest rated snorkel tour on Maui. read more

My wife, kids and I woke up at 5:45 am for the 7:00 departure in early April and they had to cancel the trip because the sand bar was altered in the storm. Apparently the boat was not able to get on the beach for safe enough entry, and they cancelled. Sort of felt they should know and provide a warning of some kind so that we could have had a back up plan. Hear great things about the outfit though! read more

We have nothing but amazing things to say about our Discover Lanaii tour with the Trilogy team today. Zach, Justin and the Captain were amazing at taking care of our group and making us feel safe, appreciated and welcome on our tour. From giving our young boys an amazing experience with attention and care, to ensuring our older boys and parents were well taken care of. There were so many laughs, smiles, and a great time had by all! I would highly recommend Trilogy, this was our third time touring with them, and we will definitely be back again! Thank you for creating so many amazing memories and experiences for our family! read more

Captain Nick, Kaden, Newman, and Dave turned a very windy day into a delightful adventure. We were able to see many whales and even had a speaker so we could hear them. We found a great snorkeling spot where we swam alongside turtles, fish, and even a reef shark. After snorkeling, the trip turned into a relaxing sailing experience. The boat was beautiful, and the food and drinks were top-notch. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience unforgettable. Next time we are in Maui we will definitely do another trip. read more

So, let me start by saying this was a great trip. We did the dinner cruise. However, there's some things that aren't disclosed to you when you book. 1. All the seating is outside. The boat doesn't have an inside dining area. 2. The winds in Hawaii kick up as the day goes on. It's very windy by the time you set sail. They do anchor in a cove by some cliffs, but it doesn't stop the wind, but it's better than before the cove. The food is good. Not spectacular. The drinks are good, not spectacular. The stars of the show are the crew. They're great. Friendly and also act like they've known you for years. I would give this excursion a 5 star review if we had known what to expect re: seating arrangements and environmental elements. Also highly recommend a jacket or blanket and if you wear a short dress, don't be too modest. read more

I love Trilogy and go out multiple times a year with them! I love their Kaanapali Whale Watches and the Kaanapali Snorkel Sails. Captain Carrie is an amazing captain! Newman is great, so friendly, & makes the best drinks! You can't go wrong with any drinks that they offer onboard - they are all specialty to Trilogy and taste like Aloha! Thank you for an awesome Whale Watch sail and experience! read more

Nick, Cayden and crew on 2/13 4:30 were incredible! Sorry, I'm missing names!!! We saw so many whales, and maybe also got engaged on the boat. Crew was incredible, welcoming and gave great recommendations for the island. Amazing time aboard! read more

We did the discover Lana'i sail with Captain Turtle Konami, Chris & Zach. The entire crew were amazing humans. They were kind, knowledgeable, funny and caring. The food was delicious, and drinks generous! This was a magical experience, where all the details were considered: beach chairs, snorkel gear for the entire family, sunscreen, snacks, motion sickness goggles, safety and gear demos with a smile. Cannot wait for the opportunity to come back. read more

My husband and I have been coming to Maui for over 20 years. It's been a while since we've done an excursion, but today we boarded the Trilogy III to the island of Lanai and had an absolutely wonderful time. Captain Jenna, Kevin, Z, Amelia and the crew were welcoming, super helpful, warm and engaging. We will definitely recommend you guys to friends and family. Aloha and Mahalo! read more

My friend and I took the Kanaapali trip on Triology 7 with Captain Mike, Amanda and Brook. Sammy was a photographer on board. Best crew, really smooth ride. Best way to snorkel Honolua Bay and Slaughterhouse Bay. So many fish and sea turtles. Food was ok, ( shoyu chicken was kind of dry) but really nice service and we had ice cream! Sailing on the way back was such a great experience so I definitely recommend this and will be back to do it again one day! No seasickness and plenty of space. 8am take off from Sheraton Resort/ Kaanapali beach and got back at 1pm. I really like the conservation talk, using reef safe sunscreen and safety talk. Very professional and happy staff, especially Brook! read more

Just had the most amazing experience snorkeling with trilogy excursions. Zack was such an incredible captain and made us feel welcome and at home from the start. Justin was the first mate and made sure everyone was enjoying their time on the boat or in the water. Kirstin did a great job giving a snorkeling briefing. Rachel made sure we all had a cinnamon roll for breakfast and drinks throughout the day. And Lisa was an excellent photographer and a fun person to be around. And sailing on the way back we got chicken and rice for lunch, and ice cream for dessert. Overall the whole crew did an amazing job the ship never felt crowded, it was extremely comfortable and welcoming the whole time. My wife and I had such an amazing time I would highly recommended that everyone goes on an excursion with trilogy. Plus we got to snorkel with a sea turtle so that was such a fun time! read more

If there were more starts to give I would. Captain Turtle, Cat, and Zack helped make this day to Lanai the best day of our vacation! For the second you check in to moment it's time to say see ya later. The day started with excellent cinnamon rolls, juice, fruit. The beach time was extremely organized. The BBQ so tasty, felt like family coming together to celebrate. If you're looking for an excursion definitely get on board with this crew! read more

This is a class act! They are celebrating 50 years of being in business. I had the opportunity to do a snorkeling excursion with them 34 years ago, and I thought it was great then - however, it's even better! The crew is very conscientious to making sure you are cared for during the whole trip. They also make the day fun from start to finish. The breakfasts (yes, plural) - you get two - are a nice start to give you energy for the time at Lanai. During your time at Lanai, again the crew are available to help you with snorkeling and any other activities you would like to do while there. The lunch is also delicious! Bonus to the ride home is if they get to put the sails up. Important: make sure to wear sunscreen and reapply! You are out in the sun the whole day. read more

My friend and I did the Lana'i excursion and it was nothing short of FABULOUS. Staff was super attentive, pretty much waited on us hand and foot. Super accommodating and friendly, absolutely no complaints. They had some repeat customers which speaks for itself, people want to keep going back and it truly seems that they care for everyone on the boat. Captain knows your name almost the instant you step foot on the boat. Worth every penny and more. Food was great (and plentiful) and photographer was on board ensuring everyone got photos- we paid the small fee for our pics and are so happy. Best part of all, not an overcrowded tourist trap! Loved this experience from start to end. read more

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Trilogy Excursions on Maui. Trilogy Excursions is a locally owned and operated business on Maui. Fun fact: The grandson of the founder was our captain and it was a special experience because he shared so much knowledge of Trilogy Excursions. If someone asks how's Trilogy, I would tell them this is the Four Season's of boat tours and cruises. 5 star service, 5 star dining, and 5 star experience. Trilogy Excursions went above and beyond to ensure comfort and satisfaction throughout the trip. But most importantly, safety of the crew and passengers were their main focus. The crew aboard the Trilogy Excursions was friendly and very knowledgeable. A plus about this tour, was having a photographer on board to take pictures and make the experience even more worth it. Not only are you riding in this luxurious boat, but you are also being educated by the crew members about the local history and marine life of the islands. The ride over to Lāna'i was serene, waters were calm, and it was relaxing. I highly recommend Trilogy Excursions for anyone seeking a memorable adventure on Maui. With their excellent service, knowledge of the 'āina, and culinary delights, Trilogy Excursions will leave you with an unforgettable experience out at sea. read more

Trilogy Excursions was one of the highlights of our trip to Maui. The crew provided us a 5 star experience from the minute we boarded the boat to the very end. We booked the Molokini snorkeling package, which leaves around 8:00 am. There's plenty of parking in the lot and multiple lots; I recommend you keep driving to the one closest to the piers as the other lots the GPS routes you to are about a 10 minute walk away. As the boat leaves, Trilogy serves a light breakfast (we had cinnamon buns), coffee, and juice. They also review safety features and an overview of what to expect. They did a thorough job with teaching you how to put on your snorkeling gear, which was so helpful as it was my boyfriend's first time snorkeling. The boat takes you to two different locations (crater and " Turtle Bay"). We spent about 40-60 minutes at each site, which is really plenty of time to explore the area and see all the fish and reefs. They have someone in the water with the group in case you do need any guidance or have any questions. After the tour and on the way back to the pier, they serve a very delicious and filling lunch (we had chicken, rice, and salad), drinks, and dessert. We were thoroughly impressed with the quick service and attentive crew. Lastly, they also had a photographer on board with us who told pictures of us on the boat and in the water. The pictures are really beautiful and great to have as they capture this day wonderfully. The package for the pictures is a bit pricey, but worth it. Overall, I cannot recommend Trilogy enough. We were treated so well during our time and learned so much. If we ever come back to Maui, I'd definitely book another excursion with them. read more

I sailed with this crew two days in a row this past week. Ohmygosh! They are fantabulous. I felt very safe and had a blast. The first trip was to Lanai; it was beyond beautiful. They had the beach all set up with water, juice, and snacks (try the Hawaiian popcorn). After a quick talk, we were off snorkeling. The water here was clear and the fish were large, colorful, and plentiful. The coral is healthy and beautiful. Just to the side of the beach are tide pools with tiny fish and other creatures to see while the waves crash into the rocks so close by... it was fun to watch. The food after the snorkel was divine, teriyaki chicken, a soy noodle side, a Hawaiian roll, and a locally grown salad. Nom nom nom. The next day I went to Molokini Crater where the water was the clearest I have ever seen. Afterwards we went to another spot with turtles where the coral was just everywhere. I haven't seen coral so healthy since diving in Pennecamp 15 years ago. Both days, after the snorkeling was finished... it was time for Mai Tais!!! Thanks for the best memories of my trip! read more

We booked a sunset dinner cruise out of Ma'alaea harbor and found it to be an overall great experience. The weather was a little overcast and rainy but the captain and crew made the best of the situation. We were greeted warmly at the dock and escorted onto the boat. The boat itself was well maintained and very comfortable with ample seating and tables. We were oriented to the schedule, given a safety briefing and introduced to the crew. Unsure if I got all the names but captain Joey, Kathryn , Macie , Helen and Shawna were all great. Joey, our captain was clearly customer focused as he chipped in to help out and interact when it was safe to do so. The crew were attentive, engaging and overall very friendly. The food was much much better than I was expecting and I found every course to be tasty. The drinks were equally good and the crew were quick to bring more drinks when needed. Finally, no high pressure tip requests at the end but rather an open invitation to offer tips to the crew for services rendered. I was happy to tip as my overall experience was excellent and the crew were all great. We will be back in April and will be bringing our extended family on this boat...hope we get some of this same crew! If you're thinking of doing a dinner or sunset cruise, you can't go wrong with Trilogy! read more

20 years we've been traveling to Maui and we have sailed various Trilogy adventures over the years and have always been happy with our trips. Our most recent we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary and planning to just chill but still wanted that sunset cruise. Trilogy provided like they always have. Thanks trilogy!! We will be back. read more

Trilogy are just great, from the staff in the office taking reservations to the crews on the boats and the locations that they take you too. We have done snorkeling in Lanai, Molokini and Kapalua with them and been amongst turtles every time, not to mention the reefs and fish, and we have not been eaten by sharks once! Everyone on Maui has suffered as a result of the fires, so please come and support the local businesses and their employees. Trilogy offer many different excursions to suit everyone's schedule so take them for a sail. read more

Such an incredible organization with an enthusiastic, knowledgeable crew that's as attentive to preserving both Hawaiian culture and nature as it is to its guests. Did the Lānaʻi tour (shout out to Mike, Ryan, and Chris) and the Sunset Sail two days later (kudos to Nick, Parker, Kanai), both starting in Ka'anapali. On both excursions the teams were efficient with check in, engaging with guests between food/drink services and sailing demands, and concerned with safety and comfort. Loved the stories they shared (both of the island and of themselves), the food and beverage options they offered, and just the overall enjoyable vibe. Have been on several of the Trilogy excursions in the past (Lānaʻi, Molokini, Sunset), several of them more than once. Having a great experience is one thing, having TWO great experiences seems increasingly rare, but having an exceptional adventure EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. suggests that this is a company that truly loves what it does and loves sharing it with others. Thank you, Trilogy staff--from the people helping with reservations to those on board--for sharing that love with others! read more

I apologize in advance if I misspell any names. Our second time with Trilogy to Lanai was just as good if not better than the first. We went with grandparents, and our kids. Captain Nick was amazing with the incredible trip and the he also added in entertainment for the kids at lunch, continuing to step up each balancing act. Kayden was great deck side, giving us flag trivia and involving both of our kids in the sail raising. Federico was amazing also through and through always accommodating every request. Chancey was our introduction in the morning and was an amazing representation of Trilogy. Anytime we visit Maui it is our must do, and we recommend it to every one that comes to the island. read more

We just spent the best day sailing with Trilogy Excursions. Captain Mike, Shannon, Utah, and the rest of the crew really went above and beyond to ensure everyone was attended to and taken care of. The boat is beautiful, super clean and cut through the choppy water making for a very smooth ride. The food they served (there was so much food!!) was tasty and fresh. They were funny, kind, informative... I was truly blown away watching them engage every guest, from the kiddos to a few with special needs. I really couldn't have asked for a better day. We can't wait to come back and use them for a trip to Molokini Crater. Thank you for a perfect day!! read more

We sailed on Trilogy again in September of 2024 and had another great experience. A shout out to Captain Mike, Kevin, and the rest of Trilogy VII crew. Honolua Bay was crystal clear and we saw many fish and a few sea turtles too. One thing I should mention is the food. The morning cinnamon rolls with fresh fruit were great. The luncheon cooked chicken meal was hot and delicious and Captain Mike's world famous mai-tai's hit the spot. Non alcoholic and beer options were also available. We could not have enjoyed ourselves more and will definitely sail Trilogy again on our next visit to Maui. read more

Trilogy Excursions - Snorkeling Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

We recently went on the Discover Molokini trip with Trilogy. While the crew was excellent and the boat experience itself was enjoyable, the SNUBA upgrade left us feeling misled and disappointed. When booking directly with Trilogy, we paid $90 for the SNUBA upgrade, which was presented as the full cost. Once onboard, however, we were told we had to pay an additional $60 per person if we wanted to continue SNUBA diving at the second site. This extra charge was never disclosed on the website, during booking, or in the confirmation emails. When I raised this with Trilogy afterward, their explanation was that the second dive is "optional" and that they don't disclose it because "very few people" choose it. The reality is that on our trip, every single guest who SNUBA'd ended up paying the extra $60 when it was sprung on us mid-excursion. In practice, the true cost of SNUBA with Trilogy is not $90 as advertised, but $150 per person after taxes and fees. To make matters worse, Trilogy tried to justify this by saying the second dive was actually offered at a "courtesy" rate -- that instead of charging us the full $90 again, they were only charging $60. Framing it as if they were doing us a favor, when the extra fee was never disclosed in the first place, only reinforced the bait-and-switch feeling. Trilogy may provide a fun outing, but guests deserve honesty about pricing before stepping on board. Unfortunately, our experience showed that Trilogy is not upfront about the real cost of SNUBA. If you're considering it, be prepared -- the actual cost will be $150 per person, whether or not they disclose it beforehand. read more

This was our first experience on a sunset cocktail cruise. Trilogy provided an absolutely perfect trip! Kevin greeted us on the beach, super nice and welcoming! We loaded from the beach as they described, very smooth process. Captain Carrie was the best! Her crew were made us feel like so pampered from the minute we stepped on the boat. Kevin, Shamus, Jonah , Kaio ! The food was exceptional,and cocktails were delicious! We even saw a whale breach in front of our boat! Best experience, highly recommend this outfit! read more

Instead of taking everyone out for a rehearsal dinner, we booked a private Trilogy whale watching charter for our wedding guests... and I'm so glad we did! Captain Riley, Jenna and Kelly took great care of us and our guests. They gave everyone SUCH a memorable day! Captain Riley located a mama and baby humpback not far from where we exited the harbor, and positioned us with the engines off. Luck had it that this pair of whales "mugged" us with their presence and played near the boat for 40 minutes. It was incredible. At first, I wondered if the Trilogy crew told every excursion that "This is the best whale watching tour we've done all year!" but after a while, it was evident that the crew was just as excited about the humpbacks as we were! Jenna and Kelly took great care of our guests. They bartended, took drink orders, passed out cinnamon rolls, immediately helped with anyone who showed the faintest sign of seasickness, and conversed with everyone. Captain Riley hosted curious guests (and many of the kids wanting to give it a try) at the helm. He was terribly kind when one of the kiddos refused to relinquish the helm when we had to return. I cannot recommend Trilogy Excursions enough! Even if we hadn't been so lucky with the whales, everyone went out of their way to make sure our party had a great time and we really appreciate it. read more

Our Trilogy snorkeling excursion was one of the highlights of our trip! The crew made it so fun and really made an effort to make each passenger feel special. Captain Zack, Caden and Hope were excellent, professional, and fun! We swam with turtles and saw a small shark and a pod of dolphins. Cynthia the photographer got some great shots too! I will definitely recommend this tour company to friends and family. Thanks Trilogy crew! read more

Absolutely amazing experience I had today with the Trilogy boat, the crew was amazing and the food was delicious! PJ was great to chat with during the sail and Chad the Turtle whisperer guided me to see my first Sea Turtle! I would recommend this boat to anyone looking for an amazing day snorkelling the Ocean! Thanks again to the Crew! read more

Captain Nick and his crew were the best. Even though it was a windy day we quickly left the harbor and saw 6-7 male whales sparing for a female whale. We were able to follow and stay with the group and it was a once in a lifetime event. I have never seen so many males in one spot. Chris one of the crew members mentioned how this was a rarity that they stayed around and didn't take off when we drifted near by . Yesterday was so special and you must take friends , family and clients on this wonderful charter. We left the harbor at 2 and returned a bit after 4;00pm. I wish we could go more often but we will be back before our dear whale friends leave to migrate back to Alaska. You will love this boat, the crew and the beautiful Maui whales that come here each year to have their babies. Thank you all !, Captain Nick, PJ , Chris and Emily the wildlife photographer. Loved every minute. read more

Our family did the sunset sail with Captain Travis, Zach, Will and Caedon and it was nothing short of a truly magical experience. The whole crew was kind, funny, and knowledgeable, the food was tasty, drinks more than generous, But the real magic was being accompanied by a pair of dolphins for about 20 minutes and then seeing multiple humpback whale families right off of our boat's bow! Captain Travis extended the sail so we could keep following the whales a bit longer. We will never forget this amaxing read more

My wife, 16 month son, and I took their afternoon whale watching tour in February 2024 and had an incredible experience. We saw two whales breach right in front of our catamaran, probably less than 30 yards away. We saw baby whales jumping around almost the entire time we were out too. It was a great experience for us. The seas were rougher than we would've liked but the whales apparently enjoy playing in the choppy waters more than flat seas, so we'll take it. Our young boy nursed most of the time as he didn't seem to enjoy the wind so it might not be the best for tiny humans like him, but your kid might be different. Don't sit on the front corners if you don't want to get wet, otherwise you'll truly enjoy your experience like we did. The food and beverage service was above and beyond what we were expecting. They served some well made turkey wraps with fruit and had a full bar available, all included in the price. I would highly recommend the cruise but just know the baby whales do more at of the out of water activities in this region so don't expect too many large whales jumping out of the water. read more

Did a sail over to Lanai and Trilogy is the way to go. It is the perfect tour to do from Kaanapali Beach.

Their quality can't be beat!! read more

I did the Molokini morning snorkel and it was a great experience from start to finish. The captain was funny and made his speeches entertaining. During the snorkel, the visibility was amazing . We saw managed to see an octopus and tons of fish at the first stop at Molokini where we got to snorkel for about an hour. At the turtle town stop, we got to snorkel for another 40 minutes and managed to spot an eagle ray (rare) , turtle and an eel. It was such a nice variety of things to see. The service onboard was really above and beyond with them serving the food, coming around with drinks and dessert. All of the staff was very friendly and in a good mood. The food was good but nothing exceptional. Do bring a towel, sunglasses, and I would suggest a sweatshirt as it was a little chilly in the morning. It's also windy which made it a little cold on the way back so maybe change into dry clothes. They do have reef safe sunscreen for you to use. read more

Great staff... They were took excellent care of all of us. The weather was amazing. The food & drinks were great as well. The staff made the difference. I will always highly recommend Trilogy Excursions to everyone. read more

We took the trilogy catamaran to Lanai and had a fantastic time. We left on the early boat and the excursion was eight hours. They fed us breakfast and coffee on the catamaran, they made us a fresh cooked lunch while we were on the island, and provided snorkeling, equipment, and experienced assistance on the island and access to the protected bay where we snorkel. I really can't imagine the staff being any more professional or friendly. By the time the trip was over I felt like I had a few new friends. Because it's a catamaran the trip is very smooth and on our day Pacific Ocean was like glass. We saw a few whales and even had an opportunity to stop in the middle of the ocean and those of us who wanted to were able to jump in and swim for a bit. If you think it is a little pricey, take a look at the cost of the ferry to Lahaina, renting snorkeling, equipment, And then making and packing your own food for the trip there and back. Honestly, at first glance, I thought it was pricey, but after the experience, I think it's well worth the money and not much more than taking the ferry and doing everything yourself. Hundred percent would do this again. read more

Went on the dinner cruise and Joey was our captain! He was more than welcoming and made us feel like we were sailing with family.

Would highly recommend a cruise out with Joey! Thanks for the experience! read more
