All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

I was worried that we wouldn't be able to enjoy it due to the strong winds and cloudy skies since the morning, but my 70-year-old mother was able to get on the SUP and move around on the water, which was great to see.

強風と朝からの曇天で楽しめるか心配でしたが、70歳の母もSUPにまたがり、海の上を移動したり、楽しめたようで何よりでした。

This was an experience under the clear sky that truly felt like a Hawaiian beach. I added a wetsuit to my equipment rental and was fully prepared with my own gloves. The high tide allowed for sufficient water depth, so the fish were coming out from the rocks. The large size of the fish may be due to the thorough management of the reef. I was able to see a small turtle, possibly carried by the current. To be honest, the waves were high, visibility was low, and it turned into a challenging snorkeling experience due to seasickness and physical exhaustion, but that’s just the luck of the draw. I hope for better conditions next time.

これぞ、ハワイビーチと言う晴天下の体験でした。機材レンタルにウェットを追加して、持参の軍手をして準備は万全。
満ち潮で水深が確保出来ていたので、魚達も磯から出て来ていました。魚体が大きいのはリーフの管理が徹底出来ているからでしょうか。潮に流されてか小亀を観ることが出来ました。正直、波が高く、視界は低く、波酔いと体力消耗するハードなシュノーケルとなってしまいましたが、こればかりはツキ次第。次回に期待したいと思います。

You can see sea turtles, and the scenery is amazing! Above all, the staff was wonderful. Thank you for the best time! Don't worry if you're not good at snorkeling; the staff will teach you properly! I definitely want to go again!

海亀にも会えるし、景色は最高‼️
何よりスタッフが超ステキでした。最高のひと時をありがとう
シュノーケリングが上手くできなくても大丈夫！
ちゃんとスタッフが教えてくれますよ！

また、絶対に行きたいです！

We had an enjoyable day out. The weather wasn’t very favourable but the team still did an outstanding job. Lunch was cooked fresh and was very nice. We didn’t snorkel but looks like all had a great time.
The only thing I would change is we had 2 boats tied together and it made for a lot of flippers in the water, looked very crowded around the reef. I’m saying that, the team always kept their eyes on the job and communicated together at all times.
Great job done by all.

I was in Maui this time for two weeks, which I think is the perfect amount of time to be able to see and do everything you’d like and kick back a little. Our trip on the Trilogy was so much fun and we saw 2 whales and got a wonderful picture of a whale slap with his tail.. The crew and the captain were all very friendly and approachable. I would say to others thinking about taking this trip brink what you think you’ll need if it’s still April or before if it departs in the morning take a sweat shirt!! But definitely do this tour it’s something you’ll never forget!!

A great tour, lead by 2 very professional guides, we felt completely safe. The turtles were amazing and the boat ride was cool. Thank you

I participated in April 2023.
There are a lot of sea turtles! My wife said it was the most fun she had during our stay in Hawaii!
The Japanese guide teaches you various things, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind.

2023年4月に参加。
ウミガメ沢山います！妻はハワイ滞在中1番楽しかったと言ってました！
日本人のガイドさんが色々教えて下さるので安心して楽しめますよ。

I was able to see a manta ray just at the last moment. Since I easily get seasick, I took some medicine before joining, and I was fine, but others were unfortunately getting sick. Also, it was colder than I expected. It's essential to have measures for warmth after coming out of the sea.

最後ギリギリにマンタに会えました。
船酔いしやすいので薬を飲んで参加したら、大丈夫でしたが、他の方はどうにももどしてらっしゃいました。
後、想像以上に寒いです。海からあがったあとの防寒対策必須です。

2 thumbs up. Crew was knowledgeable and made it a fun day.

We arrived at the requested 8:45 am check in, but at 9:30 the shuttle showed up with the remaining tour guests? Then we had to move to accommodate a larger party. The musical entertainment and staff were marvelous and of course feeding the fish was awesome overall pretty cool, next time we'll kayak un ourselves

My family and I had a great time out at the Sandbar. We have never snorkeled or been on a paddle boat. The crew was super helpful and made us feel very comfortable that at the end of the day we were all pretty good on SUP boards. The live music was awesome. Would definitely recommended to family and friends.

The sandbar was cloudy with occasional showers, making it not very beautiful, and it was cold with rainy weather. The snorkeling was a bit murky, and I didn't see many fish. The sixth day had bad weather, which was a bit disappointing, but the crew did their best to keep us entertained.

サンドバーも曇り時々シャワーであまりきれい見えず、寒くて雨模様。スノーケリングも少し濁りがあり余り魚に会えなかった。6日目が悪天候、少し残念ですがクルーの方は、一生懸命楽しませてくれました。

You can only go to the sandbar if you join the tour, and there are no tours on Sundays, so my husband, who works on weekdays, couldn't join and I went alone. (By the way, most of the others were couples, so it felt a bit lonely!)

However, on the day of the tour, it was drizzling and overcast from the morning. The scenery was far from what you see in the photos; everything was gray. There's nothing you can do about the weather, so I suppose we can only hope for good weather.

Even though I participated alone, I was able to get explanations and practice for snorkeling at the sandbar. They provided explanations in both English and Japanese, so even if your English isn't great, you can feel at ease.

The hamburger for lunch was very delicious on the boat. The snorkeling in the second half wasn't very clear due to the bad weather, but I did see some fish.

However, it was really cold after getting out, and I was shivering. I had hot cocoa on the boat, but it didn't warm me up much. On the bus ride back, I was still in my wet swimsuit with just a cover-up, and the bus air conditioning was quite strong, making me shiver even more...

I recommend that participants try to take off as much wet clothing as possible and wear more layers for the return trip!

ツアーに参加しないとサンドバーまで行けないということと日曜日はツアーはないということで、平日は仕事だった主人は参加できず1人で参加しました。(ちなみに他のみなさんはカップルが多くてちょっと寂しい〜！)
しかし当日は朝からずっと霧雨の曇天。
写真のような景色とは程遠く、全部グレーでした。天候に左右されるのは致し方ないですから、こればかりは良い天気を祈るしかないかと思います。
1人参加でしたがサンドバーの時にシュノーケリングの説明と練習をさせてもらえます。英語での説明と日本語での説明をして下さるので英語がイマイチでも安心です。
ランチのハンバーガーは船上でとても美味しくいただきました。
後半のシュノーケリングも天候が悪かったので視界はあまり良くありませんでしたがお魚見えました。

ただ、とにかく上がった後寒くて寒くてガタガタ震えてしまいました。船上で熱いココアをいただきましたがなかなか温まらず。帰りのバスも濡れた水着を着たまま上に羽織って帰るのですが、これまたバスのエアコンがよくきいていてブルブル…。
参加される方は濡れたものは出来るだけ脱いで、行きよりたくさん着て帰れるようにすることをオススメします！

We had a really great experience overall. The staff was super friendly and helpfull. We highly recommend the kayak tour and the provider. Thanks a lot

Absolutely amazing tour, loved our crew. Absolutely amazing views and saw so many dolphins.

I had a wonderful time being watched over by the very kind and humorous Chieko and Dan. There were a total of seven of us: two young couples, my 66-year-old self and my son, and one man from overseas. They held my hand, as I’m not a strong swimmer, and guided me to where the fish and turtles were swimming. I was quite anxious as a beginner and being older, but the one-hour snorkeling experience was just fine. Their advice was to take motion sickness medication if you’re worried about seasickness. I also recommend borrowing a wetsuit to prevent injuries and sunburn. I’m really glad I participated.

とても優しくてユーモラスなチエコさんとダンさん2人に見守られ楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。若いカップル2組、66歳の私と息子、海外の男性1人の計7人でした。泳ぎの苦手な私の手を繋いで、魚や亀の泳いでいる場所を案内してくれました。1時間たっぷりのシュノーケルに、初心者で高齢の私は不安ばかりでしたが、大丈夫でした。アドバイスは、波酔いの心配がある方は酔い止め薬を服用すること。ウェットスーツは怪我や日焼け予防にも借りる事をお勧めします。参加してとても良かったです。

Snorkeling at Molokini Island was beautiful and fun. However, I didn't know that renting a wetsuit (upper body) would cost $10 per person, and I only brought cash for tips (since it's dangerous to take money on the boat), so I was short on cash and had a hard time. I would have liked a notice that the snorkeling set is included in the price, but the wetsuit fee is not. It costs $10 per person. Without a wetsuit, I couldn't get in because it was too cold with just a swimsuit.

モロキニ島でのシュノーケリングは綺麗で楽しかったです。
ただ、防寒用のウェットスーツ（上半身）のレンタルが1人10ドルかかるとは知らず、チップしか現金を持って行っていなかったので（船の上にお金を持っていくのは危ないので）、お金がたらず困りました。
あらかじめ、シュノーケリングセットは価格に含まれているが、ウェットスーツ代金は含まれていません。1人あたり10ドルかかりますという告知が欲しかったです。ウェットスーツを着ないと、水着だけでは寒くて寒くて入れませんでした。

My wife and I had a great time. The two guides, captain and turtle-whisperer, were confident, relaxed, and funny. The pick-up location was incredibly convenient for us, near our hotel on the Waikiki beach strip. The ride to the canyon was just 15 minutes, and looking back on the city was breathtaking.

Once there, we distributed masks and floaty-belts and jumped right in! I foolishly wiped off my mask and it clouded up, but the captain was keen to fix it after I brought it to his attention. The turtle-whisperer was around to spot turtles and check in on our snorkelers, but otherwise we were allowed to roam.

There were quite a few other tour boats and snorkel groups at the site, but we were able to still find turtles and fish while staying a bit away from the groups of other snorkelers. We ended up among a school of black fish and had two turtles swim very close to us! Once while my wife and I were holding hands. A highlight of our vacation!

Don't go into this expecting a private/guided tour of the reef. Instead, it's a relaxing transportation to a great snorkel spot, with equipment included. For this price, I highly recommend it.

There were many sea turtles, and the ocean was beautiful; I was able to see a large sea turtle resting! During the trip, there were two people who spoke Japanese fluently, which made me feel at ease! I was also very satisfied to be able to feed the fish!

ホヌも沢山いて海も綺麗で大きなホヌが寝ている姿も見ることができました！
移動中は日本語をしっかり話せる方が2名も居たので安心できました！
魚に餌やりもできて大満足！

Unfortunately, the weather was not great on the day of my visit. I had imagined the perfect location under a blue sky with clear waters, but it was completely cloudy. I heard the sea was murky, but during snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles and various colorful fish, which was truly moving.

Even in the rain, it was enjoyable, and I highly recommend it.

当日、あいにくの天気でした。
青空の下、透明度の高い海で最高なロケーションを想像してましたが、一面が雲。
海も濁っているとの事でしたが、シュノーケリングではウミガメも様々な色をした魚も見ることが出来、感動しました。

雨でも充分楽しめ、お勧めです。

Me and my husband had a great time. The guys are very prompt with safety and are very accomodating. We saw turtles and other sea creatures too. My husband was not very confident with snorkeling but they helped him out by getting acquainted with the waters and eventually he gained confidence to snorkel and he enjoyed it a lot later on to see sea life.

Started off by getting a call from captain to ensure we were in the area because we couldn’t find it initially. Get on the boat yummy bfast cinnamon rolls- beautiful ocean. We sat up front on the netting- saw flying fish dolphins and whales! The captain of the ship made sure we had a great experience by allowing us to view the dolphins and driving toward the whales to ensure we got a better look. They had lots of facts about the marine animals we saw- the island- and the history of trilogy. During the stay at lanai we enjoyed the beautiful beach and tide pooling- we did not snorkel or snuba. Before we left the island we had a yummy lunch, bbq chicken and noodles that the crew made fresh in a wok smelled so good! Then we boarded the ship and headed back- on the way back we got to see some whales and we learned about the end of whale season and the competition between male whales to get female etc. Mai tais on the way home even offered non alcoholic moctails for the kids. Plus delicious ice cream. Was by far our favorite trip adults and kids included. Thanks trilogy for the amazing experience!

This sandbar tour was the best choice! It was so fun! They had all the gear and all we had to do was bring ourselves! They supplied the tastiest BBQ burgers with vegan options as well! Our captain was so professional, yet funny, and extremely helpful taking pictures for us, and giving us the best sandbar adventure ever! We played volleyball, snorkeled, and enjoyed cruising around the sandbar. I can't wait to go again!

Mahalo nui loa!

Diego, Trevor, and Tamae were incredible! They were fun and upbeat and super helpful. We got in the water and we say more than a half dozen different manta rays swimming around right beneath us! It was an experience we’ll never forget!

Staff on boat were helpful snd professional. Snorkel equipment was ok, kind of old but worked. It was nice to be able to bring our on snacks and drinks on board.

My family enjoyed a wonderful day touring the Na Pali coast line. Captain Mike and his crew made their guests feel welcome, safe and part of the family. The bonus for me was the historic and cultural connection of the Mike and his crew to the land. We saw a mama whale and her calf up close. This excursion was the highlight of our vacation.

I was able to see sea turtles, and I really enjoyed activities like stand-up paddleboarding and beach volleyball. I gave it four stars because I was a bit anxious while waiting for the bus to pick us up at the meeting point.

ウミガメを見れて、サップやビーチボール等もとても楽しかったです。
集合場所にバスのお迎えが来るまで不安だったのもあり星4つとさせていただきました。

The weather was rainy, which was a bit disappointing, but I was satisfied with the activities. Both paddle boating and snorkeling were fun. I even got to see a turtle. The staff's service was also good. I deducted one star because of the weather!

お天気が雨模様で、少し残念でしたが、アクティビティは満足。パドルボートもシュノーケリングも楽しかった。
亀にも会えたし。
スタッフの対応も良かったです。お天気の分だけ☆マイナスさせてもらいました！

I was especially grateful to the female crew member who did her best to help when one of my companions got seasick. The meals served during the cruise were also delicious and satisfying. Thank you very much.

We were also lucky enough to experience whale watching. Since it was getting late in the season, I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be a fortunate experience.

特に、仲間の一人が船酔いになった際にも、一生懸命対応をしてくれた女性の乗組員には大変感謝しました。またクルーズの間に出された食事もおいしく満足できるものでした。ありがとうございました。

途中運よくホエールウォッチングも体験できました。そろそろ季節外れになる時期故、期待していなかったのですが、幸運でした。

Fantastic trip from beginning to end - The boat ride to the island was smooth and very enjoyable, saw tons on dolphins right up to the boat, flying next to the boat and jumping our of the water. Even saw a Mommy and Baby dolphin - so Cute!!! Then to the Lanai island for a unbelievable snorkeling experience - so many beautiful fish - schools of them - amazing. The Crew was supportive and watchful for the entire group's safety and highest level of Fun. The lunch is all you can eat freshly cooked noodles, teriyaki chicken, salad with mango dressing, refreshing drinks - the most wonderful meal. Don't miss this trip - it is 100% worth your time and the cost of the trip. We plan to go again when we return to Maui.
