All Reviews for Maalaea Harbor & Ocean Center

Food was excellent and service was right on point. Cruise was very relaxing.

I would recommend Calypso Sunset Dinner Cruise to everyone!! We are definitely doing this again when we return for another Hawaii vacation. Everyone was super nice and friendly! They truly cared to make your experience a memorable. They also offered to take really nice pictures of the sunset....and those are the memories we can take back with us and cherish!

Thank you Calypso and all crew members for a great experience!!!!

Very friendly and direct service. Got there in about 40 minutes.

Let me start by saying that this entire experience was fantastic. Captain Chris was delightful, his crew was kind and informative and the boat itself was top notch. We were lucky enough to see plenty of tropical fish, bottlenose dolphins and three different sea turtles. We felt safe the entire voyage and it was the perfect amount of time on the boat and snorkeling for the average tourist. Would absolutely recommend! Plus it’s for a good cause, what more can you want!

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip from beginning to end. The food was plenty and very well done. The lunch especially made you feel like you were royalty. The crew served everything. There was plenty to go around. They were all like a well oiled machine working in harmony to get everyone taken care of. The snorkeling was really nice because it wasn't crowded. We had the whole cove to ourselves. The hike was just right. The ride back was a wild one thanks to the wind. They had even supplied supplies at lunch like ginger and dramamine for sea sickness. I give them 5 stars. Best tour I have ever been on. Thanks to you all.

A first-time snorkeler with basic swimming experience, they taught us really well how to do it right from basics & also kept an eye to guide us in the ocean. Only regret is they should allow to hold the rope anchored for people who panic in the vast ocean, coz it takes 5-10 minutes for people with no swimming background to get familiar with the unpredictable ocean. My wife was not allowed to touch the rope & she couldn't enjoy snorkeling with us for the rest of the trip. Good lunch & breakfast. Overall they do good if you know a bit. Great locations..unfortunately no turtles.

Awesome tour with Bruce! He provided many interesting facts and information about the island. We saw areas of the island that we would have missed if we were on our own. He offered us the opportunity to spend extra time at the cat sanctuary with over 600 cats when we told him we liked cats, such an awesome place. I mentioned we hadn’t seen many turtles (honu) and he took us to a beach that had about 6 right along the shore. Though not guaranteed, we were able to see Maui, Molokai, Oahu, Big Island of Hawaii, Molokini and Kahoolawe from Lanai (per Bruce he’s only seen Oahu a few times from Lanai).
Definitely would recommend this tour!

Fun time with a fun crew.

The drinks were great, really good value we’d do this again

Our first trip to Lanai was bookended by a ferry ride from Expeditions. We thoroughly enjoyed swimming in Manele bay, eating delicious poke and exploring the exotic grounds and sculptures of the Four Seasons.

Great captain and great snuba instructor!! Definitely will do again!!

We had a great experience with Trilogy to Lanai. The captain and crew were welcoming and accommodating from the first moment to the very end. We were cared for and serviced for all beverages (coffee, juice, water, cocktails, you name it!) from morning until the last moment as well as with all of our meals, plus some surprise snacks. For being a group excursion, we were pleasantly surprised with how fun and completely relaxing this day was! We only wish it could have been longer… but next time, we’ll sign up for that. I highly recommend!

This was one of our excursions we did while being on our 27th annual girls trip. The four of us had such an amazing time! The crew was so helpful, knowledgeable and sweet! Food was really good! Definitely a must do! Can’t wait to do it again next time I’m there!

My husband and I absolutely loved this sunset cruise! The food we had was amazing! The drinks were great too and the service on the boat was outstanding! The views from the boat were breathtaking! We will absolutely go on this cruise again during our next trip to Maui!

Everything was amazing. Thank you to entire crew and specially to our server Meg.

We had a fantastic day with the crew on the catamaran. Friendly, hospitable, and safety conscious staff made sure we all enjoyed the day snorkeling. Truly a fun day for my family.
We even saw rare dolphins and swam with turtles

I can not express how perfect our day was going to Lanai with Trilogy.
I have always wanted to go to Lanai so my friends booked this Birthday excursion. Captain Casey and his crew exceeded our expectations!
From the moment we check in and got on board the beautiful catamaran we were treated like VIPs. The hot cinnamon rolls, breakfast sandwiches, and fruit and were delicious.

As we came into the pristine Lanai Harbor the crew again were amazing in escorting us to the bay to snorkel. They made sure we has sunscreen and were constantly insuring our safety in and out of the water. We also purchased the photo package and I will always cherish the amazing above and below water professional photos.

We headed to the Harbor Pavilion for a hot lunch cooked and served by the crew. It was so good we had ate until we could not chew anymore.

Sailing back in to Lahaina was almost as fun as snorkeling. The crew were professional yet so fun! Hoisting the sail we glided across the ocean with cold drinks in our hand.

I can not express what a delight it was to be with the Crew of the Trilogy! I will never forget my Best Birthday Ever!

The Ocean Spirit experience was fantastic. The crew was attentive, the and drinks were tasty and the musical entertainment was pleasant and informative about the islands and history of the people. And the sunset was epic!! It was truly a great way to cap off our visit with friends.

Thanks for the patience to share with us and now we are doing great love

Snorkeling was good. However, I felt like we spent more time on the boat than in the water. There was also a lot of information giving on the way to Lanai. However, I don't understand the need to keep everyone on the boat and do another 30 minute talk on the mic while we're all dying in the sun waiting to get in the water. Then we're excused to go in the water and another 30 minutes or more go by before you can get in the water because everyone is now in line to put their gear on and get in. It's very time consuming.
The 30 minutes of talking on the mic once we're docked was a bit much and over the top.
I don't feel the customer or their interests were a priority.

What a wonderful sunset cruise. The crew was amazing and catered to everyone’s needs. The appetizers were extremely tasty to go along with the live music on the ukulele. Our family had a great time and would highly recommend booking a cruise with this team on your trip to Maui! The price is very reasonable compared to other cruises.

I got to see multiple sea turtles and it was amazing. Staff were very kind, funny, and helpful throughout the activity. We couldn't go to Molokini because of wind which was shame, but I still loved it and enjoyed a lot! Seating at the front deck of the boat was also a pretty cool experience. They also had a photographer! We paid to get the photos and was super worth it. Thank you!

My family and I enjoyed our afternoon snorkeling.Lunch was great and the staff was awesome.

We were hoping there would be a couple of stops to increase chances of seeing the turtles and dolphins… other than that, great experience, lovely reef with schools of colorful fish, and the crew is fantastic…

We really enjoyed our experience with Pacific Whale Foundation- we went on a snorkel cruise a couple of days prior to dinner cruise and had a blast. Solid staff with lots of Passion and knowledge about the oceans and specifically Maui.
The Dinner cruise was nice but we were all fairly disappointed in the food servings and 3 of our steaks were basically blood rare and we ordered them MR. it was too late to get them back on the grill. first course was a delicious good size at artichoke spinach dip. Or something close to that. It’s was tasty and plentiful but just a few pieces of bread for the whole thing and there was so much dip and no seconds on bread !? Kind of ridiculous, especially for the price of the dinner. The salad of mixed greens and some veggies was served with very tasty dressing … sure would have been nice to have some bread with that .. then came our entrees … so small ! A petit steak and one piece of chicken or a few prawns … small portions of protein then this outrageous amount of carrots. And a scoop of purple sweet pot mash which was tasty too. Drinks were okay- not great. Very sugary. … Mai tais , margaritas or wine were some of the choices.
Brownies for dessert were delish !
It was beautiful to cruise Lahaina area and eat on the water. Just wish the food was more plentiful - it’s really felt skimpy with all those carrots … just seemed like they were cutting corners. We ate when we got home. That should tell you something.
The staff wonderful , sweet, nice energy.

Fiancé and I had a lot of fun, there were plenty of fish to see (some of them swam right up to us), and the crew was great. We definitely recommend this.

The Alii Nui Sunset Cruise was incredible! My husband and I booked the cruise for our honeymoon and were very pleased with the whole experience. The boat launched from Maalaea Harbor around 5pm and began serving drinks once out of the harbor. We loved the signature drinks! Dinner was delicious and offered gluten free options including seared ahi tuna, prime rib, potatoes, and chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. The ribs were advertised as GF, but had bbq sauce containing gluten on top. The crew was very helpful when I asked to check on gluten friendly options!

We could see amazing views of the sunset the whole time which was super important to us. We also loved that we had freedom to move around the boat as desired.

The whole crew was fantastic! Captain Jamey, Kalina, Farel, and Jackson went out of their way to make our experience enjoyable. We were impressed that the crew not only served throughout the dinner, but also picked guests up from hotels, sailed the boat, bartended, and also made time to be friendly with the guests. The cruise also had a professional photographer, Anna, who took beautiful photos of the guests throughout the evening. During the dinner, she edited the photos and then we were able to purchase them as keepsakes.

This would make a great romantic evening for any honeymooners or couple! We highly recommend. :)

Our experience couldn’t be any better. Thank you!!

The crew were extremely knowledgeable made us feel so safe, we had questions about sharks they answered everything for us and made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease. They made the trip super fun. they were very funny and welcoming. The food was more than enough for breakfast and lunch. We spent plenty of time at each stop, we saw plenty of turtles and cool fish. The crew let us swim for as long as we needed to. I am very thankful we chose this boat ride and I would do this 100 times over again!
A big thank you to Brian and the crew

The staff was amazing and very attentive to everyone. BBQ lunch was super yummy.

Ride was very relaxing. Food was good - we had steak and chicken. Drinks were good, too. Staff was very friendly.
