We just got back from a Maui vacation and our snorkel trip was the highlight of an amazing vacation.
We checked in with Snuba Willie by the beach. Willie gave us an outline of the day, company background, and basic safety instructions. He also mentioned an additional activity called Snuba. He said there was no pressure but if anyone was interested, to flag him down once we were on board and he’d tell us more. He then gave us instructions on how we were going to get on the catamaran.
We went down to the water and made our way on board. Our catamaran was Triology 111 and it is beautiful! It is spotless, in perfect condition, comfortable, and spacious. Once everyone was on board, we gathered below deck for an introduction and safety briefing. Captain Mike introduced our crew- Captain Carrie, Snuba Willie, Jamie, Gabriel, and David. He went over emergency information and all the details of our boat and what to expect. Then we got on our way.
The crew turned on music and we were allowed the run of the boat. Breakfast was served and the entire crew was incredibly attentive and thorough. While on our way to the site, we saw multiple whales- more than on the whale tour we took the day before. Captain Mike stopped the boat so we were able to watch them.
At the reef, we were given our gear. My family talked to Snuba Willie about the snuba option and decided to try it. We are so glad we did! It was spectacular!
The crew grilled our lunch while we enjoyed the water. We returned to the boat for lunch. After a fantastic lunch, we returned to the water.
The entire experience was beyond our expectations. We felt safe, informed, and very well taken care of. The entire crew was professional, warm, and engaging. If we are fortunate enough to return to Maui, we will absolutely take this trip again and if we can, we’ll do a full day snuba experience. It was well worth it!

12月初めの参加でしたが、とにかくこの日は強風で、モロキニ島までは行けず、近くのシュノーケリングスポットで、シュノーケルをしました。
魚もみれて、楽しかったです。
ガイドさんが、とても親切で、70代の父親も、初シュノーケルでドキドキでしたが、一番楽しんでました。
船の中の、朝食と、ランチのチーズバーガーも、とてもおいしかったです。
モロキニ島まで行けなかったのは残念ですが、とても楽しめましたが、またモロキニ島にリベンジしたいと思います。

The services provided were better than our expectations. Making advance reservations through Veltra was easy. We were met at the airport by a Roberts of Hawaii agent stationed at the bottom of the escalator. She was holding a sign with our name on it, greeted us with shell leis, and directed us to the luggage pickup area and Roberts of Hawaii desk. After we retrieved our luggage, another agent transported all bags to their van. A short time later we, along with several other customers, were driven to our respective hotels. Everyone was very professional, helpful and efficient. Veltra and Roberts of Hawaii made the entire experience a good one. Mahalo!

We had an incredible time on this trip. The boat was clean and the staff was courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our captain was great at locating whales and she was extremely skilled at maneuvering the boat so we always had the best view. Originally I had bought my ticket for 3 days earlier however, upon arriving in Maui my husband got sick and we were unable to go. I expected to have to just eat the cost of our tickets but I called the company and Sylvia was great and rescheduled us for later in the week with no penalty. I highly recommend this company and I would use them again.

First off, the crew was amazing. Wonderful, friendly, and never a frustrated or unhappy moment. They ensured everyone had all their gear, handed out drinks and food, and answered questions with ease.
The snorkle part of our day felt considerably shorter than expected, especially since looking at something so beautiful makes the time fly. If you are wanting lots of time in the water I would suggest another snorkle focused excursion instead.
The food was yummy and plentiful. One perk to the afternoon tour was it was less busy and everyone was able to get great views and seats during the whale watching cruise. There were so many humpbacks around, and we were able to catch some amazing breaches and slaps not too far from our boat. Because this boat was large it was harder to get as close to the whales as the smaller vessels, but was non the less breathtaking!
I would reccomend this activity to first time snorklers, and those wanting a taste of both the coral reefs and the open waves. I want to commend the captain and his crew for the smooth sailing and great memories!

Everything was great. The instructors made it fun by their sense of humor, but you could tell that they also always had safety in mind. Felt safe at all times.
I was afraid that we would be hiking up a huge mountain or something because the description states you will do a lot of walking, however they take you up the mountain in a van. The only walking that you do is front platform to platform, which isn't much. So we were glad for that.
The views from the ziplines of the ocean were amazing. Would recommend for all.

Everything was great. The food, the drinks, the entertainment. It wasn't cheezy like I was thinking it would be. The dances actually had meaning behind them. Service was great also. Sometimes you think whenever they say "All you can drink" that they will give you like 1 drink and make you beg for the rest. Not the case here, they kept the drinks coming and they were good quality drinks.
Also liked how the local people were selling their goods around the interior. This package had everything that you could want. Great Hawaiian experience.

Overall I think this was the best activity we did while on Maui. My wife and I had a great time and the crew did an amazing job. We saw multiple whales on the way to our snorkel spot. When there one of the crew members would act as a scout and point out cool stuff. We swam with 4 sea turtles. On the way back we had burgers and hot dogs, plenty to go around. Great beer choices and Mai Tai's as well. Would definitely recommend!

For our last full day in Maui, my husband and I decided to book the 10:30 a.m. Discover Lanai Sail; what a good choice! From the moment we boarded the boat until the end of the day, the Trilogy crew did everything possible to make sure we had an exceptional experience. There were 5 crew for 50 passengers, so one of them was always nearby.
Once we were underway to Lanai, they served beverages, delicious cinnamon rolls and fresh fruit. The humpback whales were very active so the captain did his best to get closer when there was a sighting. As we got close to Lanai, we were surrounded by a school? of spinner dolphins. What fun!
After docking, they took us to the beach — quiet and sandy with restrooms and plenty of shade. Chairs, mats and snorkeling gear were efficiently distributed to get us into the water quickly. There was gentle surf but it was fairly easy to walk in. We’ve snorkeled many places, and this was nice, though not extraordinary. There were many fish, but the variety was limited. Still fun, and crew were very vigilant about keeping everyone safe.
For those who didn’t want to get in the water, (or didn’t stay in very long, like us), there was an island van tour that took about an hour an a quarter. There was no microphone used so I couldn’t hear quite everything, but it was interesting to see Lanai City.
At 3:00 we had a late lunch in Trilogy’s covered pavilion overlooking the dock area. Very pretty there. They served healthy and tasty food — tossed salad, noodle salad, corn on the cob, and BBQ chicken.
On our trip back to Lahaina (4-ish), the crew opened the bar as soon as the boat cleared the harbor for our trip back to Lahaina. Woo-hoo! Whale watching was even better than it had been in the morning. We also saw two baby whale breeches; what a thrill!

天気予報どおり、くもり、風強しでした。
小雨も予想されたので、できることなら日程変更をお願いしたのですが、
当日は催行とのことでお返事はありませんでした。
ゆっくり高地にならしながらいきますとのことで、お得なお土産情報もいただきながら、山に向かいました。
ゲートのところで、5時を過ぎていたので、係員不在の時は、各車のドライバーが、クレカで入山料(通行料)の手続きをしなければならず、渋滞となっていました。
結局、日没も見れず、火口の展望台も暗くなって見れず、でハレアカラの風景は見れずじまいだったのが残念でした。
もしこの渋滞事情が事前にわかっているのなら、五時までにゲートを通過する計画もあったのでは、と思います。
特に、その日は星空も期待できないのは素人でもわかっておりましたので、明るいうちに火口でも見れたら、また違った感動があったと思います。
ガイドさんのお人柄は申し分ありませんし、お話も魅力的でした。
ただ、日没は見れるような口ぶりだったのに、そのことについては何も触れられず・・??でした。

Overall impression of this company is outstanding. The trip itself was very professional. They are very safety oriented and make sure everybody on the boat is doing what they are supposed to do and all accounted for at the close of your snorkel adventure. The whale watching was very good as well. Beyond all the structure and safety of the trip is also the fact that they want you to have fun! They feed you great and drinks flow freely. Honestly this trip was one of the highlights of our time on Maui. I would highly recommend this to anyone, couples or families. Thank you for a great memory.

We did this tour during the whale mating season so we expected to see a whale or two but what we saw was amazing. At first the whales kept their distance but after awhile they began approaching the boat. Soon dozens of whales were surrounding the boat and showing off their dives, breaches and spouting. They were close enough to spout whale 'snot' on us!! The skipper said their nearness was very unusual and he prolonged the tour by 1/2 hour.
