Our family truly enjoyed this snorkeling trip! We've been on several and this was the best yet! The crew was super nice and took very good care of everyone on board. They fed us breakfast, a snack and lunch and it was all very good. The snorkeling at Molokini was wonderful and at the end of the trip they raised the sails and we sailed for a while. Such a pleasant experience - we'll do this one again if we come back to Maui!

Pros:
Friendly and helpful crew members, and great communication from the captain when we encountered some dolphins.
I enjoyed the pulled pork for the lunch. Very fresh.
The snorkels they provided were way better than what you get at ABC stores for $10. Very easy to breath with, and I never got water inside the snorkel.
They provided great floatation devices. Noodles and belts. Made it easy to focus on watching the under-water world.
Cons:
Too much time spent on the way. I would like to spent ~30min more in the water.
Tips:
Bring your own disinfectant wipes to further clean the snorkel if you are concerned.
You can rent a GoPro on the boat to take video/photos under water. I tried water-proof bag with my cellphone, but it didn't work well.

This was a great experience. The crew of the boat was very attentive. The equipment was in excellent shape. Very nice breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately, we did not see any turtles, but this, of course, is not the fault of the tour operators. If you are looking to go to Molokini, I recommend this tour.

My family and I had the best experience. From the moment we stepped onto the boat, the crew was very attentive, friendly, and funny. They provided a great overview of the day activities and what we needed. They checked on us frequently and even provided a little history lesson on the nearby islands. We took about 1 hr boat ride over to Lanai. Once at Lanai, it was a 7 minute walk to the beach. The beach was amazing!!! We did some snorkeling, a short nature walk, and had some time to chill at the beach. The BBQ LUNCH was delicious! The boat ride back we enjoyed 2 cocktails and ice cream. The crew exceeded our expectations. I would definitely do this again! I felt like VIP. Book it! You won’t regret it

My wife and I had an incredible day on this excursion! The exclusive rights to the island that other tour companies do not have is what makes this company one of a kind!! They take you to a "private" beach and allow you to snorkel, hike, and provide a breakfast and lunch! There were other companies snorkeling around reefs but this company actually takes you onto the island!! We HIGHLY recommend! Captain Raquel and her crew were fantastic!

The best snorkeling cruise at two different sites. Molokini and turtle town. Did not disappoint either sites. Lots of fish, sea life and coral at Molkini. Then on to turtle town which also did not disappoint. Turtles and fish abound. One turtle even came to surface for air while we watched. The staff is amazing, knowledge and very helpful. Pacific whale foundation cruises give back their profits to benefit the sea life. I highly recommend.

初めてのハワイ、久し振りのシュノーケリングでちょっぴり不安でした。
クルーは船長、スヌーバ担当の方がおひとり、あと三人のうちお二人が日本の方。運航、器具の貸し出し、朝食と昼食の準備、飲み物の提供、そもそもお忙しいのに、COVIDで感染対策も加わった訳で、みなさんくるくると働いておられました。(それでもCOVID前に比べれば参加人員が少ないとか。)
そんなでお忙しいのに、みなさん親切で優しく質問には答えて下さり、潜る時には怖がっている妹に付きっ切りでお世話をして下さいました。
持って行った日焼け止めが使えるか心配でしたが、船で購入が出来ました。
お天気にも恵まれ、お陰様でシュノーケリングを楽しめました。また行きたいです。

Words cannot describe how magical and breathtaking this experience/tour was. My girlfriend and I had an unforgettable time on this full-day tour. We were able to see "Sweetheart's Rock" from the most immaculate viewpoint. There were also no other people/tours on Lanai the entire day, so again, the experience felt very private, romantic, and exclusive. An absolute incredible experience that you must do to understand...

It's called a snorkel tour but that title really falls short of everything involved. We had not one but two dolphin sightings. I'm not saying we saw a couple of them in the far distance. They were swimming right beside us, and there were literally dozens upon dozens of them jumping and spinning above the water. The beach at Lanai is peaceful and exclusive. The team set up games and activities for everyone to enjoy. Yes there's snorkeling but they are not assuming that everyone is into that. You wanna chill on the beach? You wanna play giant Jenga with the fam? You wanna walk up a nature trail? All covered. The short trail up to the cliff side is indescribable. After all of that they feed you a freshly prepared bbq lunch and they make certain that you don't leave hungry. The servers came by a half dozen times to make sure that everyone had enough food. I took the 630am tour in anticipation of afternoon winds because I tend to get motion sickness. I am not a morning person at all but considering the perfect conditions I had no regrets. The crew was attentive, friendly and considerate. I don't eat meat and I avoid gluten. I stupidly forgot to mention that in my booking, but they were still able to accommodate me on the spot with no hassle or judgement. If you've read this far and you still haven't booked, you'll be missing out on one of the best tours the island offers.

We had an amazing experience aboard the Trinity. Aside from the wonderfully planned experiences, such as snorkeling a hike up to see Puu Pehe and a delicious lunch, we were met with extraordinary surprises as well! We were greeted by whales and dolphins! The voyage from Maui to Lanai was very enjoyable. The scenery of the ocean and islands around us, as well as the service on board with the friendly and knowledgeable staff. The snorkeling was AMAZING.

The weather was perfect, and we even saw a whale breach in the way back.

The crew member on the ship made the experience possible and fun! They will meet your needs and help you the best as possible. Madison and RACHEAL ARE THE BEST! They helped us when they could and kept my daughter Evelyn entertained. The only thing I recommend is to download the app for ParkWhiz because you will need to spend extra time going online to pay for the parking space and if you did not show up a half an hour early you may miss the opportunity to board on time because your still trying to pay for your parking spot. Warning it gets very windy so you need to hide inside sometimes and May get crowded. Other than that the food was great for us and so were the unlimited drinks.
Thank you for your review! We appreciate you choosing the Four Winds II and we hope to see you and your family again!

This was the best snorkel trip we have ever done! The crew was extremely kind and helpful. The boat was small with about 30 people on board (versus boats with 100+), which made snorkeling and the boat ride very nice as we all had our own space. Molokini was amazing. I have never seen such great coral and fish. The visibility was like seeing in HD. At Turtle Town, the one crew member (I can't remember his name, I'm sorry!) did an amazing reef tour where he pointed out different fish, gave lots of facts, and helped us try to swim under the arches. He even pointed out a white tip reef shark! And of course, we saw some turtles. Mollie, the photographer, got lots of amazing pictures of us diving and gave us an amazing deal. She even gave us lots of helpful tips for our road to Hana experience. The food was great and I truly can not stress how amazing the crew was in making this experience one of the most memorable. I would do this again!

The day with the Trilogy people was amazing. We had great weather with little wind for the trip over to the island. We were able to pick a pod of dolphins along the south shore of Lanai. Captain Raquel and her crew on April 8 onboard Trilogy IV took care of everything. They were active to check on everyone to be sure that all were doing well. Beach time on Lanai was incredible. Snorkel time over the reef in the middle of the bay allowed lots of fish viewing time. Crew was active to assist everyone into the water and was watchful as we were in the water to stay safe. Plantation lunch was excellent and was served comfortably in the Pavilion. Our return trip was comfortable in spite of the waves being more vigorous.
We have been to Lanai with other companies. Captain Raquel and her crew delivered incredible service and made the day very enjoyable.
Leave early to avoid traffic issues even if arriving for the 6:00AM check in. We parked in the Republic lot on Dickenson and had a short walk to the check in area.

What an amazing tour! The breakfast buffet surpassed any boat breakfast I have literally ever had, and I was not expecting that at all. Afterwards you hop in the water and swim at the first dive spot, and that is nothing short of breath taking truly. Molokini Crater is something everyone should see. The lunch is super delicious too, and the crew just makes the trip 10000/10 times better. Cant thank you guys enough for this amazing trip for my friends and I and I can't wait to be back. Strongly thinking you guys are the bests company around so far.
