Maui
We participated as a family of four.
It was a morning sunrise tour.
We drove to the Lahaina Harbor parking lot with a rental car. Even though it was early in the morning, there were staff present, and when we mentioned the Trilogy tour, we were able to park for $10 for the day.
Participants came from Canada, the United States, and South Korea, and there were no Japanese participants. There was no Japanese-speaking guide.
The ride was comfortable with no waves or wind, just as the sun was rising. On the way, we passed near a large pod of dolphins that were swimming around. The dolphins played a game of chase with the boat. The classic cinnamon rolls were freshly made and warm, and they were delicious.
At Floppy Bay, there was still no one around around 9 AM. It felt like we had the place to ourselves. The bay had high waves at the shoreline, so we needed to wear fins a little offshore where the waves were calmer, which confused my 9-year-old a bit. We saw plenty of fish, and the coral preservation was good, with excellent water clarity. Since there were some waves, it seemed better to stay away from the shallows and rocky areas. We observed underwater at a depth of 2 to 3 meters in slightly deeper water. Since we had children with us, it was reassuring that a staff member from Trilogy sat on a surfboard nearby to monitor everyone's safety. Finally, when we were getting back onto the sandy beach, we had to rush up with the waves, or we might get pulled back out, but the tour captain helped pull the children up onto the shore.
The city tour didn’t have much to see. It was evident that many Japanese immigrants had once contributed to pineapple farming, and their struggles were palpable. There were photos of Japanese people and Japanese dolls in the museum.
Back at the harbor, the barbecue chicken was delicious. Unlike snorkeling from the boat, being on land meant we could enjoy lunch without getting seasick, which is one of the great things about this tour.
The return trip was supposed to follow the same route, but there were a few waves. The captain had advised everyone to take motion sickness medication for the return trip, saying it would be bumpy, so I took it and ended up feeling good and falling asleep.
This felt like a true resort tour, and I was very satisfied.
家族4人で参加しました。
朝のサンライズツアーでした。
ラハイナ港の駐車場まではレンタカーで行きました。早朝ですが係りの人がおり、トリロジーのツアーというと一日10ドルで駐車できます。
参加者はカナダ、アメリカ、韓国からで、日本人はいませんでした。日本語ガイドもつきません。
行きは波もなく、風もなく、ちょうど朝日が昇る時間で、快適でした。ラハイナの北岸を西へ回り込む途中、イルカが大群で生息している近くを通ります。イルカは船と追いかけっこをしてくれました。定番のシナモンロールも作り立てで温かく、おいしかったです。
フロポイ湾は9痔頃はまだ誰もいません。独占状態です。湾は波打ち際で波が高くなるので、波が立たない少し沖でフィンを履く必要があり、小さい子供(9歳)は少し戸惑いました。魚はたくさん見られます。サンゴの保存もよく、水の透明度も抜群です。やや波があるので、浅瀬や岩場には近寄らないほうがよさそうでした。やや深いところで水深2から3メートル下を観察しました。子供連れでもあり、近くに同行したトリロジーの方がサーフボードの上に座って皆の安全を監視してくれていたので安心でした。最後に、砂浜に上がるときも波とともに一気に駆け上がらないと、また沖に引き込まれそうになりますが、ツアーのキャプテンが子供の手を引っ張って上陸させてくれました。
市内ツアーは特に見るものもないです。かつて日本から移民が大勢パイナップル作りに加わっていたことがわかり苦労がしのばれました。資料館に日本人の写真、日本人形があります。
港に戻って、バーベキューのチキンはおいしかったです。船の上からのスノーケリングと違い、陸上ですので酔うこともなく昼食を満喫できるのがこのツアーの良いところです。
帰りはほぼ同じ航路のはずですが、波が少しでました。あらかじめキャプテンが帰りはrompyだからと、皆に酔い止めを勧めましたので服用したら、いい気持ちで寝てしまいました。
これぞリゾートのツアーという感じで大満足でした。
We participated as a family of four. There were no Japanese people, including the staff, but the cheerful staff made it enjoyable without feeling alienated.
We went snorkeling in Honaunau Bay, and there was only one other boat in the spacious bay, allowing us to swim freely.
The water was very clear, and we enjoyed the corals and fish. We encountered a large number of sea turtles, almost six of them gathered together.
We changed spots and went snorkeling again, but at that location, there were fewer corals compared to the first spot, as it was rocky.
The waves on the way there and back were not too rough, and I didn't feel seasick at all.
I think more Japanese people should consider visiting.
家族4人で参加しました。スタッフを含め日本人はいませんでしたが、陽気なスタッフで、とくに疎外感を感じずに楽しめました。
ホノルア湾でスノーケリングをしましたが、湾にはもう一船いるだけで、広々した湾でのびのび泳ぎ回れました。
海の透明度は高く、サンゴ、魚は十分楽しめました。ウミガメの数は半端なく、6匹近くまとまって集まっているのに遭遇しました。
スポットを変えて、もう一度スノーケリングしましたが、そちらは岩場で、最初のスポットほどサンゴは見られませんでした。
行き帰りの波はそれほど荒くなく、まったく酔わずに済みました。
日本人がもっと訪れてもいいように思います。
Ferry ride was nice, fun at times with the waves. Beautiful view. Beaches in Lanai gorgeous. Good service. Not much to do in Lanai City. Most of the Restaurants there, which are not too many, close really early. We were lucky to be able to have a late lunch at one of them, cant recall the name, and the food was delicious.
I heard that driving to Hana is very difficult, so I chose this tour. The car had spacious seats and was very comfortable, and the driving was very careful, so I didn't feel nauseous at all.
Hana had untouched natural beauty and mystery.
The Lava Tube exploration and the tropical rainforest plants, as well as the ocean, were all very moving in their own ways.
I was nervous because I didn't know it was an English tour until the day before participating, but I was able to spend a fun day with a couple from Korea and a parent and child from El Salvador living in Los Angeles, so it was very pleasant.
I brought my swimsuit, but I found the ocean and the water inside the cave a bit scary, so I couldn't go in, but I think you can enjoy playing in the water.
Lastly, Mr. Wayne, thank you for taking care of us.
We had a very good time indeed!
See you next time!
ハナへの運転はとっても大変だと聞いていたのでこのツアーを選びました。車は座席が広々としてとても快適で、運転もとても丁寧だったので酔ったりは全くありませんでした。
ハナは手つかずの自然の美しさ神秘さがありました。
Lava Yube探検や熱帯雨林の植物、海もまた感じが違うのでとても感動しました。
ツアーに参加する前日まで英語のツアーだと知らなくてドキドキでしたが、韓国のご夫婦、エルサルバドル出身のロス在住の親子と私と娘でしたので 和気あいあいと楽しく1日過ごすことができました。
水着を着てきましたが、海も洞窟内の水もちょっと怖くて入ることはできませんでしたが、水遊び程度なら楽しめると思います。
最後に、Mr.Wayne,Thank you for taking care of us.
We had a very good time indeed!
See you next time
It was my first horseback riding experience in Maui.
The scenery was amazing! The horse ran more than any I’ve ridden before.
I especially recommend it for those who want to ride rather than just lead a horse.
The distance is long, and you can see both mountains and the ocean.
The dust is intense, so you’ll get dirty all over like after cleaning a chimney, but you can fully enjoy the nature of Maui.
I highly recommend it!
マウイでは初の乗馬でした
景色は最高!お馬さんも今までで一番走ってくれました。
引き馬でなく、馬で駆けたい方には特にオススメです。
距離も長く、山も海も見ることができます。
砂埃が凄まじいので煙突掃除をした後のように全身汚れますが
マウイの自然を堪能できます
オススメです!
Overall the event was fun. The staff was friendly and helpful. However, the trail was not the easiest of rides and the equipment could be updated. For example, my rein broke in the middle of the ride. Other than that, it was a great experience.
Awesome adventure. Jeremy did a super job. Waterfalls were at capacity. Swimming was unique.
We had a great time on this hike. Got to see lots of plants and trees. Jeremy was an awesome guide. Knew when to stop and show things and when to slow down for people. Very informative. Waterfalls were great; recent rain so they were active.
This is the best snorkeling/SNUBA activity on Maui. Trilogy does a fantastic job and my wife and I had a great time on this activity. I highly recommend it to all! We will definitely do it again the next time we visit Maui.
My wife and I had a marvelous time at the Luau, the intertainment and food were excellent.
The timing was great on the trip. They made it clear how things would work. We couldn't have ask for anything more for the price.
Although the weather was not ideal we enjoyed the entire trip. The staff was great and the Captain was very entertaining.
I really enjoyed this cruise with my wife. We went on an afternoon cruise and had burgers for lunch. It was a different experience having lunch on a cruise after snorkeling. The staff was very nice and friendly and made sure we enjoyed and had fun. If we go back to Hawaii, then will definitely take this cruise again.
We first headed to Haleakala. There was a pleasant stop along the way for drinks and snacks. The views were spectacular and there was ample time to see the sites without being rushed. Judy, our tour director and driver, offered interesting facts and other information but appeared to be very bored and tired of the tour routine. She repeated the blurb about taking nothing but pictures about a gazillion times. Maybe it was just an off day for her. We headed to a very nice town for lunch. This was a pricey place, but the food was excellent and the service good. After lunch we headed to Iao and the rainforest inside. It was beautiful and once again we had ample time to see the sights without being rushed. At Iao we were switched to a different van that met us there and headed back home. All in all, a very pleasant day!
While we all had a lot of fun and took some great pics, the 2-hour ride ended up closer to 3 hours. Although I'm not an expert on horses, it seemed to all of us that the horses were exhausted and hungry. The house and surrounding grounds are not well maintained with too much trash around and lots of tall weeds around the buildings and lots. There were two guides. Our main guide was the younger one, and he was very nice. The other tour guide kept coming back and trying to make the horses run and go faster, which was a little unnerving for beginners...especially since the majority of the ride was either uphill or downhill on very rocky terrain. There was very little pasture riding. As the tour description indicates, you will get VERY dusty. We are glad we went for the ride, but would much rather have taken a shorter, easier ride for our first time. It's definitely a great picture-taking opportunity.
Our tour guide was very informative and fun to talk to. We saw some great views and had a fun time on the helicopter ride. The best wat to see Hana!!
Had a great time!
It was a nice trip to molokini, the water there was so clear compare to other snorkeling spots. Although the wave there was turning larger at the end and we did not see too much fish. The staff was very helpful and experienced in helping people in the water.
Another destination was turtle town and we did enjoyed our fantastic turtle-experiences.
I would definetely recommend people to go there, but possibly earlier time (We took off around 8am).
The cruise started off with a simple but nice breakfast and coffee. The staff is great and very friendly. The boat is also very large and roomy. Things went downhill when halfway to molokini it was announced the wind was to high and we were going to a second location. We got to this location about an hour into the cruise and went out snorkeling. I hate to say it, but it was DISSAPOINTING. We had better snorkeling at the beach outside our hotel. We stayed in this location for several hours, but after about 1 hour we had seen everything. We got back on the boat and they had a great lunch, tons of food. Then we just sat around for 2 hours waiting for all the children on the boat to finish up. On a side note, it seemed like the kids all enjoyed it. Personally, for this amount of money, it would be nice if they mentioned they dont always go to Molokin and offered some kind of rebate. Additionally, they need a better location to go as a backup plan. Obvioulsy our trip was differen
I almost gave this one a overall 3 rating, but the views and weather were so nice I had to go with 4. There are however a few downsides to this one. First, there were a ton of empty tables, but they still opted to seat couples with other couples in tiny cramped tables forcing everyone to make akward conversation. Personally, I wanted a nice relaxing time with my GF to enjoy the experience, not have to talk to someone we just met. Second, the dinner was just ok. Maybe it is because everywhere else in Maui is so good, this dinner just didnt quite do it for me. The staff were friendly enough, but they work in an assembly line fasion and once you get your food its hard to find them again.
If you are very sociably and want to meet people this might be a better cruise for you. If you want a nice quiet evening with just you and your loved one this might not be the best option.
Was a good show, all the dancers were very good. I so enjoyed the food. The pork was amazing..... Met some nice people for different places and had a great time. A little pricey i thought, but if you have never been, it was a good experience.
I've done Piiholo Ranch Zipline before, so I wanted to try something different for our Maui trip this time. The course was awesome, and we were really high up on the tree. We just zipped from a tree to a tree, so we didn't hike too much like the other tour.
The guide was awesome, and we played a game the whole time we were on the tour, and the winner got a free T-shirt. Be ready to scream. I highly recommend this tour!
It was great. Had the best time. Dustin our guide was the best. Very informative and helpful. Would highly recommend....
We took advantage of the opportunity to try snuba. Jamie was great! He helped us feel comfortable very quickly so that we could enjoy ourselves. He was a perfect tour guide under the water, pointing out unique bits of corral and things living within the corral, dusting things off as we went.
The Captain worked hard to help us find unique and interesting things to see as we sailed - made for great pictures and gave us a better understanding of the wildlife and the environment they live in.
The crew on board were fantastic hosts! So helpful and cheerful! They all worked really hard to make sure we were safe and happy and well fed...all with a smile! We really appreciated all of their efforts to make us welcome!
Mahalo! Mahalo! Mahalo!
We participated with our family at the end of March. My parents in their 70s also had a great time.
The explanations are all in English, but I was able to understand the main points. The horses are very well-trained and know what to do, so there were no issues.
It seems that this is the only place where you can experience galloping, and it was very exciting.
3月末に家族で参加しました。70代の両親も、楽しく参加しました。
説明は全部英語ですが、要点は理解できます。馬はとっても慣れていて、よく分っているので、問題ナシです。
ギャロップを体験できるのは、ココだけらしく、大興奮でした。
We had an amazing time with our guide Finch with South Pacific Kayak!! We got to witness so many amazing, beautiful things! Whales breaching out of the ocean, Dolphines dancing 10 feet in front of us and the beautiful, colorful fish and turtles that inhabbit the ocean. Such an amazing time!! We wanted to go back the next day!! This was our first time Kayaking, it was amazing.
Thank you for an amazing adventure!!
Kristy and Tim
Bob was so entertaining and informative! He made the early morning quite pleasant. However, I think arriving at Haleakala 75 minutes before sunrise was a bit too soon. Too much time to stand around and be cold. Also, the bus was a little small and cramped for leg room. The payoff, the spectacular sunrise, was exceptional.
We just took this trip last week and had a great time. This was our first time snorkeling and the staff was so helpful in getting our gear ready and giving us pointers on what to do to make the most of our snorkeling adventure. We did see whales, dolphins and sea turtles!! The lunch was great! I would definitely make this a stop for us again in the future.
Our day started with a guided tour around the Maui Dragon Fruit Farm. The tour started with our guide sharing their story about the farm and how Dragon fruit helps your health.... very interesting! The farm is really big and has other crops than Dragon Fruit.
Aqua Ball was a BLAST!! My kids and I had such an incredible time jumping into the ball (which contains water so remember to bring your swim suit) and rolled down the course. Super Fun!!
Next up was the zipline! It was great zipping across the farm but I only wish the lines were higher and longer so it would be more thrilling! However, it was perfect since I was traveling with my 7 year old daughter.
OVERALL, This tour was educational, unique and FUN!! I will definitely suggest this tour to all of my friends who visit Maui!!
We saw lots of dolphins, 5 turtles, and many whales swimming around our boat!!! Best trip ever!!! We def will do it again!!!
