Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Optional Underwater Sea Scooter Upgrade
Great experience
Reviewed by: Osidemike
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Maui. The adventure began about 7 AM, on time, and we were shuttled to the boat in a small dinghy with the boarding of the small shuttle being an interesting and fun experience. The captain and crew provide everything that is needed to have a great time including snorkel and mask and fins. Wetsuit tops are available. Flotation devices were available if needed. In fact it is best not to bring too much equipment since boarding the dinghy may cause some of your belongings to get a bit wet. Willow, the captains mate, gave us a safety talk and off we went on our adventure to Lanai. The two dive spots were wonderful. We were able to do some spectacular whale watching on our way to the dive spots and on our return trip. Snacks and drinks were perfect. All in all this was a well run adventure and one of the high points of the trip was Willow with her bubbly personality and friendly demeanor. My spouse and I recommend this trip highly for both experienced snorkelers and beginners. At the end of the journey we left a well-deserved gratuity since we were so impressed with the entire operation. We are sure that, if you take this trip with Kaanapali ocean adventures, you will be thrilled with the entire experience just as we were. As a final note, the adventure begins early in the morning. There is parking available at every hotel that is free and is identified as “beach access parking“. There are only about 20 spots available at each hotel but, since the adventure begins so early in the morning, we had no trouble finding these free parking spots. If you park in the parking structure the cost of a days worth of parking is around $40. In addition, the organization will send a text the day before the trip to inform you of items you need to bring and specific instructions on where to meet.

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures
Aqua Adventures Was Amazing!!!
Reviewed by: Aaron Roberts
The crew for Aqua Adventures was spectacular. I'm disabled, I can walk with a brace but mainly use a wheelchair. They helped me on to the boat and carried my chair on to the boat. They made sure I was included in every activity, including the bonus whale sightings we have seen. One crew member helped me get fin on and off each time and made sure that I was able to find the turtles during the coral city visit. The captain was upbeat and had wonderfully bad jokes but made sure everyone knew exactly was going on and safe in their Adventures. The food was great too!

Molokini Snorkel Tour & Swim with Turtles Cruise - PacWhale Eco-Adventures
We had a great time!
Reviewed by: Ash
Staff went above and beyond to enhance the experience for everyone involved. We came across two pods of whales and a pod of dolphins, and the staff used their marine biology experience to educate us on what we were seeing. The water was warm, safety was prioritized, there were multiple head-counts conducted by multiple staff members, and we were fed and entertained. Overall we couldn't've asked for more.

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures
Wind & white caps? No prob
Reviewed by: Liz
Fun experience! Windy on the day we went so we couldn’t go to the crater. Boat is clean. Crew friendly, professional, organized and helpful; prepared us for everything and kept on schedule. The food was alright, kept us fed and hydrated for all the snorkeling.
Tons of fish in west Maui where we stopped. Two spots. We even went to a turtle cleaning station! Saw a honu or two.
We had a great time. Maybe next time we can check out the crater :)

Luxury Molokini Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast, Lunch & Open Bar - Alii Nui Maui
Best Day in Maui
Reviewed by: Laura Connell
The crew of Alii Nui was incredible! They treated us like royalty while aboard their vessel. From the delicious breakfast and lunch with open bar, to the sunscreen and fresh towels, to the cooling eucalyptus towel and sunglass cleaner upon arrival back to port, they thought of every detail. I’ve never seen a crew work so hard as a team and make it look effortless, all with a smile and servant attitude and total engagement. Truly a pleasure meeting each of you. And the snorkeling was absolutely beautiful! We saw turtles and beautiful fish of all kinds. Captain Trent was so knowledgeable and knew the best places to go to see the beauty but avoid the crowds. And Savannah, thank you for capturing the underwater photos of us that we wouldn’t have been able to get. Thank you so much for the amazing day! I highly recommend this excursion!!

Sea Maui 2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Tour from Kaanapali with Drinks [Apr-Dec]
Amazing snorkeling with sea turtles trip!
Reviewed by: Sarah G
My number one goal while in Hawaii was to see a sea turtle in the wild and boy did this trip deliver! There were about a dozen sea turtles right where we jumped in the water and would come close and just hang out. It was truly incredible! The boat crew were awesome and made sure we had everything we needed. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

The best snorkel adventure we’ve been on!
Reviewed by: Derek VW
Let me start by saying that this entire experience was fantastic. Captain Chris was delightful, his crew was kind and informative and the boat itself was top notch. We were lucky enough to see plenty of tropical fish, bottlenose dolphins and three different sea turtles. We felt safe the entire voyage and it was the perfect amount of time on the boat and snorkeling for the average tourist. Would absolutely recommend! Plus it’s for a good cause, what more can you want!

Fantastical!!
Reviewed by: Julie
Thoroughly enjoyed the trip from beginning to end. The food was plenty and very well done. The lunch especially made you feel like you were royalty. The crew served everything. There was plenty to go around. They were all like a well oiled machine working in harmony to get everyone taken care of. The snorkeling was really nice because it wasn't crowded. We had the whole cove to ourselves. The hike was just right. The ride back was a wild one thanks to the wind. They had even supplied supplies at lunch like ginger and dramamine for sea sickness. I give them 5 stars. Best tour I have ever been on. Thanks to you all.

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures
Must do activity with these guys..!!
Reviewed by: Nitin Lakhotia
A first-time snorkeler with basic swimming experience, they taught us really well how to do it right from basics & also kept an eye to guide us in the ocean. Only regret is they should allow to hold the rope anchored for people who panic in the vast ocean, coz it takes 5-10 minutes for people with no swimming background to get familiar with the unpredictable ocean. My wife was not allowed to touch the rope & she couldn't enjoy snorkeling with us for the rest of the trip. Good lunch & breakfast. Overall they do good if you know a bit. Great locations..unfortunately no turtles.

Great and Relaxing Excursion to Lanai
Reviewed by: Katie
We had a great experience with Trilogy to Lanai. The captain and crew were welcoming and accommodating from the first moment to the very end. We were cared for and serviced for all beverages (coffee, juice, water, cocktails, you name it!) from morning until the last moment as well as with all of our meals, plus some surprise snacks. For being a group excursion, we were pleasantly surprised with how fun and completely relaxing this day was! We only wish it could have been longer… but next time, we’ll sign up for that. I highly recommend!

Unbelievable Experience
Reviewed by: Catalina
This half-day snorkel adventure was one to remember! Not only did we see schools of beautiful fish at each reef, we were able to swim with sea turtles at the second location. As we were leaving, pods of spinner dolphins surrounded us which was a once in a lifetime experience. The captain and her first mate were friendly, energetic, knowledgeable, and had a fantastic sense of humor! The lunch that was provided was also outstanding! I would HIGHLY recommend this trip to anyone!!!!

Maui Adventure Lanai Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Ocean Raft Tour with Lunch
Best trip we’ve ever taken on Maui!
Reviewed by: Ann T
Captain Cary and Shannon are a mighty crew of 2! Cary is a good Texas boy who has lived on Maui for many years… But that Texas hospitality shines through! The man is packed with personality, and genuinely loves his job. He and Shannon both shared so many fun facts and interesting details during our trip. They packed lunch and breakfast for everyone which were outstanding and could not have been friendlier nicer or more accommodating the entire time start to finish! When our original destination was less than ideal he explained to the passengers why it would be in our best interest to go someplace else and he was exactly right! I’ve never encountered more knowledgeable or happy go lucky and fun loving captain. The boat is small so you will have lots of time to interact with Cary and Shannon and he will get more time in the water than on any other cruise. They know where to look for all the things you want to see… You will not be disappointed. If you only book one thing on Maui book this charter!!!
Mahalo for your wonderful positive remarks! We are so pleased you enjoyed your Lanai Dolphin Adventure! Our captain and crew love being out on the water and sharing their passion for Maui, the ocean and its creatures with you and all our guests. Come back and visit us again!

Discover Lanai Day Trip from Maui, Hulopoe Bay Snorkeling & Sweetheart Rock
Best Birthday Ever
Reviewed by: VickyG
I can not express how perfect our day was going to Lanai with Trilogy.
I have always wanted to go to Lanai so my friends booked this Birthday excursion. Captain Casey and his crew exceeded our expectations!
From the moment we check in and got on board the beautiful catamaran we were treated like VIPs. The hot cinnamon rolls, breakfast sandwiches, and fruit and were delicious.
As we came into the pristine Lanai Harbor the crew again were amazing in escorting us to the bay to snorkel. They made sure we has sunscreen and were constantly insuring our safety in and out of the water. We also purchased the photo package and I will always cherish the amazing above and below water professional photos.
We headed to the Harbor Pavilion for a hot lunch cooked and served by the crew. It was so good we had ate until we could not chew anymore.
Sailing back in to Lahaina was almost as fun as snorkeling. The crew were professional yet so fun! Hoisting the sail we glided across the ocean with cold drinks in our hand.
I can not express what a delight it was to be with the Crew of the Trilogy! I will never forget my Best Birthday Ever!

Lanai Snorkel Tour & Dolphin Watch Cruise with Lunch - PacWhale Eco Adventures
Snorkeling was good...ride and time on boat was not good.
Reviewed by: Diane Ortiz
Snorkeling was good. However, I felt like we spent more time on the boat than in the water. There was also a lot of information giving on the way to Lanai. However, I don't understand the need to keep everyone on the boat and do another 30 minute talk on the mic while we're all dying in the sun waiting to get in the water. Then we're excused to go in the water and another 30 minutes or more go by before you can get in the water because everyone is now in line to put their gear on and get in. It's very time consuming.
The 30 minutes of talking on the mic once we're docked was a bit much and over the top.
I don't feel the customer or their interests were a priority.
