Kaanapali Deluxe Snorkeling Cruise with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks - Trilogy

Awesome experience on the Trilogy

Reviewed by: Sheri Shepard , 2023/05/06

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!!

  • Blow the picture up you’ll see the whale

  • Tail wave by the whale so awesome

Wonderful experience

Reviewed by: LCL, 2022/11/14

This experience was great on its own, but the staff made it special - my husband suffered from seasickness and they did not hesitate to take care of him giving him special glasses to wear, ginger tea and a ginger pill - after which he felt much better.

Sea Maui Kaanapali Deluxe Snorkel Cruise with Meals & Open Bar

Kept getting cancelled

Reviewed by: Rosa, 2022/10/11

I can’t fault the company too much for this but our outing got cancelled because of high surf so we moved it back and then that outing got cancelled for high surf. It’s a little frustrating because we try to schedule all of our plans for the day in the same area so this really threw off our plans on two separate days. It may have been useful to get a warning on the second rebooking that there was a decent chance that the boat could get cancelled again. I do understand safety is priority and as someone with no boating experience, I really don’t know how far out a high surf can be predicted. But overall, we’re pretty disappointed. I wouldn’t recommend booking boats that leave from Lahaina.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Optional Underwater Sea Scooter Upgrade

A Fun Snorkeling Experience for Everyone

Reviewed by: Bob, 2022/06/18

The snorkeling experience was very good. They were informative and patient, helping everyone get equipped. They had 2 spots, I would have preferred just staying at the first stop, as there was less to see at the second, and the swim back to the boat was tiring at the second stop. I recommend using a flotation belt instead of a noodle. I also recommend taking Dramamine for the ride there and back.
Overall a fun time and we saw a lot of beautiful sea life!

It was an experience

Reviewed by: MacFam, 2022/06/04

It was our first time snorkeling. Willow was very helpful and we felt comfortable getting into the water right away. My only disappointment was that we did not circle around Shipwreck Bay to see the tankers. Apparently its no longer part of the excursion. Overall I would recommend.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Optional Underwater Sea Scooter Upgrade

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Lucy, 2022/03/21

Great experience. The crew was great, full of information about marine life. They took us to amazing shallow reefs off of Lanai and there were no other boats around at all. Saw sea turtles and octopus. They also made sure to get us to see whales and since it's late March, they were everywhere. We followed some pods and got to see them go under the boat. Incredibly professional as well, helpful for getting gear on for those we have never snorkeled before. Wetsuits available for rental which was great to use in the water since it gets cold after a while. Breakfast, nonalcoholic drinks, snacks available, BYOB and you can store stuff in their huge cooler.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Optional Underwater Sea Scooter Upgrade

Great experience

Reviewed by: Osidemike, 2021/12/18

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.

Sea Maui Express Morning Snorkel Tour from Kaanapali with Drinks [2.5-Hours]

Amazing snorkeling with sea turtles trip!

Reviewed by: Sarah G , 2021/10/04

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!

Great snorkel cruise from Kaanapali beach.

Reviewed by: Steve B., 2019/08/11

Trip, crew, boat and food were great! Crew was professional and friendly. Trilogy III was spacious and comfortable. Food provided accommodated family members with allergies to gluten, peanuts and tree nuts. Was our second trip with Trilogy and look forward to our next excursion with Trilogy on a future Maui vacation. Would highly recommend considering Trilogy for your snorkel cruise.

カアナパリ沖 セーリング&シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事・アルコール2杯付き>

大満足でした

Reviewed by: tky, 2019/07/07

とても満足のアクティビティでした。
【体験内容】
スポット2箇所でたっぷりの時間で魚や亀を見ることができました。
行きの船ではイルカの群れに出会い、スピンも見れました。
スポット各々で、たくさんの魚を見れ、亀も6匹、タコも見ることができました。
一方、7月頭の参加でしたが、少し水が冷たい箇所もありました。数日後に台風が迫っていたことが理由かもしれません。
帰りはセーリングで帰りながらボリューミーな鶏肉のバーベキューを食べるのも良い体験でした。
【その他】
日本人は我々夫婦のみでしたが、スタッフは皆海の男&女で爽やかに明るい方々で、気さくに接ししていただきました。
我々の他はご家族やカップルが中心でした。
説明など英語はかなりスピーディに話されるので、得意でないわたしには正直聞き取るのは無理でしたが、基本周りの真似をしていれば大丈夫かと思います(笑)
前日リコンファームで電話ということでしたが、完全に忘れており当日心配しておりましたが、大丈夫でした。
また、チップは、下船時にお一人に20ドルをお渡ししました(周囲の方も同様な形でした)

総じて大満足のアクティビティでした。

Pride of Maui Afternoon Snorkel Cruise with BBQ Lunch from Maalaea [Open Soon]

Well worth the price

Reviewed by: Fenyx, 2019/01/01

This was my only tour in Maui since I did another in Kona.
Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon!
I was the only person in the cab to and from the tour.

I had a great seat on the boat and everyone seemed very friendly.
They provided everyone with free snorkeling gear but I had a cold so brought my own snorkel. Not sure how much they clean the gear.

Snorkeling site wasn't the best. I didn't see much but others claimed to see a turtle and manta ray. There were far too many people in the water! There was another tour group right next to us. We didn't see many whales either :(

Food and drinks were good, even able to take leftovers.
Overall good experience for singles, families, and couples- gay or hetero.

カアナパリ沖 セーリング&シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事・アルコール2杯付き>

楽しかった

Reviewed by: AKIKO御一行, 2018/10/28

カアナパリ地区の滞在なら目の前のビーチから出発なので絶対このツアーがイイです。集合場所はビーチからすぐの芝生でちょっとわかりにくいですが、時間になると参加者が集まってくるのでわかると思います。日本人はうちらだけでしたが英語がわからなくても心配無く楽しめます。イルカにも沢山出会え、シュノーケルではウミガメとも泳げました。魚の数はそれ程多くはないです。朝食はシナモンロールにコーヒー、昼食はチキンのバーベキュー、アルコールも飲めて美味しくて満足でした。解散もカアナパリビーチなのでそのままホテルのプールに行けるので潮も洗い流せます。カアナパリでのバケーションには最高のセーリングだと思います。

Snorkeling fun

Reviewed by: Ángel , 2018/08/18

This snorkeling tour was awesome. We got enough time to play in the water and see plenty of beautiful coral and fish. The food was good and so were the drinks. There was only two downfalls. One, it was a little hard to locate the area if you get there too early. Two. The sun Blai i they had left everyone white, regardless of the constant rubbing in. Besides that, it was an amazing trip!

This was a great afternoon snorkel and whale watching event. The crew was very well organized and knowledgeable in the area and the whales. Ciara and Sal were great hosts.

Pride of Maui Afternoon Snorkel Cruise with BBQ Lunch from Maalaea [Open Soon]

Our favourite Maui activity

Reviewed by: Hayley, 2018/03/01

There were 5 of us that went on the afternoon snorkel and whale watch and all agreed it was a stand out experience of our ten days in Maui.
The staff are all very friendly, helpful and overall seemed like really great people who love what they do.
We were able to stop whenever a whale was spotted (we saw at least 20) not just during the first part of as was first indicated. The captain had an endless supply of information about the whales and all the islands surrounding.
The snorkel location was absolutely stunning. We had gone out snorkelling multiple times ourselves and this location was by far the best, calm waters, loads of fish and coloured reef.
The trip was finished off with burgers and vegetarian pasta for lunch and cocktails as we stopped again for a few more whale sightings.

We will be back!
