On the day of the event, due to strong winds, we couldn't go to Molokini Island and were taken to a different spot. I felt reassured that the staff spoke Japanese from the hotel pickup. I thought it might be cold, but after borrowing a wetsuit, we were ready to go! The staff member, Takako, was very helpful, especially since most of us were beginners. At the second spot, we encountered sea turtles, which was very satisfying. The water temperature was not as low as I expected, and I had a wonderful time swimming with many fish. Although the activities depend on the weather, we were taken to two spots, and we had plenty of time at each, so it really felt like we swam a lot. I had a blister on my foot from traveling, so I couldn't wear fins, but the staff provided precise instructions about safety, which I greatly appreciated. I had snorkeling experience in Australia before, but thanks to Takako, I had a really enjoyable time this time. Looking back, I wish I had borrowed a camera; it would have been nice to have more information on how to take pictures during the camera rental explanation. I was worried about dropping it, so I didn't borrow one, but now I regret not doing so. The big cookies and the hamburgers cooked on the boat were delicious, and I would love to experience this again. Thank you!
11/27当日は、強風で結局モロキニ島には行けず違うスポットへ案内してもらいました。ホテルのピックアップから日本語の通じるスタッフの方で安心でした。寒いかなと思いましたが、ウエットスーツを借り、いざ! スタッフのTAKAKOさん、ほぼ初心者ぞろいだったと思うのですが、いろいろ細かく教えて下さりありがとうございました。二番目のスポットではウミガメとも遭遇でき、大満足。思ったより水温も低くなく、たくさんのお魚たちとランデブーいたしました。その日の天候に左右されるアクティビティーですが、二か所のスポットへ連れて行って頂き、各々の時間も充分だったので、「泳いだー」って感じでした。旅行中足にできた靴ずれで足ひれがつけられなかったのですが、足ひれがないと流されるからと的確な指示を下さり、安全に留意頂き大変お世話になりました。以前オーストラリアでシュノーケリングの経験がありましたが、今回のTAKAKOさんのおかげで、とっても楽しく過ごせました。あとになってみると、カメラを借りておけばよかったなと思いました、カメラのレンタルの説明の時に撮り方(きっと簡単なんでしょうけれど)とか、どんな写真が撮れるかとかもう少し教えてもらえたらよかったかな、借りて落っことしちゃったら困るかななんて考えて借りませんでしたが、やっぱり借りとけばよかったなと後悔しきり。おっきなクッキーや船上で焼いてくれたハンバーガーも美味しかったです、また体験したいです、ありがとう!

We have been on three or four other snorkel trips in Hawaii and this is by the far the best. The ship is in excellent condition, and the skipper and crew were friendly and knowledgeable. They made it a wonderful time for all on board! They even stopped during their regular trip to show us spinner dolphins (twice) and an early season whale.

This is a Fantastic way to spend 1/2 of a day. The crew and Captain couldn't have been any nicer or more informative. The ride out to the dive/snorkeling site was fairly short, and the snorkeling was awesome. My husband really enjoyed the snubbing, I tried, but was unable to actually do it, the instructor tried her best to help me, but after several attempts I decided to stick with the snorkeling, which worked for me, because as I stated, it was awesome. We saw lots of beautiful fish. The second site they took us to had several turtles, and even more beautiful fish the closer you ventured into the coral. They provided a nice lunch, and continental breakfast. I had booked this activity a month or so in advance, and was really looking forward to it...I was not disappointed.

From the moment we checked in, they set a tone of relaxation and fun that carried through to the very end. Oh, and the Maitais were amazing :)

We went on our honeymoon.
On the day, there were only four Japanese people, including us, and just one Japanese staff member.
They were very kind and taught us a lot, like saying we could be the first to enter if we lined up here, and that it would be better to do this first. They were very considerate.
I'm not very good at swimming, but since there are wetsuits available, even if I get carried away while snorkeling, they monitor us from above in a canoe, guiding us to make sure we don't stray too close to the island.
新婚旅行で行きました。
当日は、日本人が私たち含めて4名しかいなかったので、
日本人スタッフは一人。
とっても親切にしてくださって、ここに並んでたら一番に入れるよ~とか、これは先にしておいたほうがいいよ~ってたくさん教えてくれたし、気を使ってくれました。
あまり泳ぎが得意ではないけど、ウェットスーツもあるし、
シュノーケルに夢中で流されても、カヌーで上から監視してくれてるので、ちゃんとはぐれないように、島に近づき過ぎないように誘導してくれます。

I participated in a sunset tour. Everything was in English, which might be tough for those who don't understand it at all. Personally, I dislike tours that are only for Japanese people, so I found it interesting. Also, since it's quite an expensive tour, there weren't many young people who looked like students (Maui itself is a luxury resort, so there weren't many young people like that).
The food and service were very attentive, and I think the cost performance is quite good. Cinnamon rolls, burritos, and fruits were served on the boat, along with a BBQ dinner, and on the way back, alcohol and ice cream desserts were provided. Of course, drinks were included as well. I think it was quite generous.
The staff answered various questions, and their explanations about the island and the boat were interesting. However, if you're a beginner at snorkeling, the sunset tour might be a bit challenging. Since the winds are strong in the afternoon in Maui, I recommend the morning tours over the sunset ones. It seems that morning is the best time for snorkeling in Maui. Therefore, I hardly saw any fish on this tour... Additionally, when we landed on the island, there were options for exploring the island by car or snorkeling at the beach, which was nice because we could do what we wanted.
I didn't feel seasick at all. People from other tour companies also said that Trilogy's tour is the least likely to make you seasick and that the service is good.
サンセットのツアーに参加しました。すべて英語です。まったく英語が分からない方にはつらいかもしれません。個人的には日本人だけのツアーが嫌いなので面白かったです。また、値段もかなりするツアーですので、学生と見られるような若い人はほとんどいません(マウイ自体高級リゾートなのであまりそのような若い人はいませんでしたが)。
ご飯やサービスは大変丁寧でコストパフォーマンスはかなりあると思います。シナモンロール、ブリトー、フルーツが船上で提供され、そしてBBQの夕食、帰りの船ではアルコール&アイスのデザートが提供されます。もちろん飲み物もです。かなりいたれりつくせりだと思います。
スタッフも色々質問に答えてくれます。島や船の説明も面白かったです。ただ、スノーケル初心者でしたら、サンセットのツアーはちょっと大変かもしれません。マウイ自体午後は風が強いのでサンセットのツアーよりも朝のツアーをお勧めします。マウイでのスノーケルは朝がベストのようです。なので、このツアーでは魚はほとんど見れませんでした。。。また、島に降りると、ドライブでの島散策やビーチでのスノーケル島各自チョイスがありますので、自由にできるのがよかったです。
船もまったく酔いません。他のツアー会社の人もトリロジーのツアーが一番酔わないし、サービスもよいといっておりました。

I haven't ever SCUBA'd and this is as close as one could get with little to no experience snorkeling or diving. The staff was top notch in their customer service. There are some other tours out there for a bit less money but they have so many people on their tour. Aqua Adventures was amazing in that the smaller tour (mine was about 20 some people) allowed for a more personal experience. I would do it again. I had plenty of time at two locations to SNUBA and snorkel. The fresh sandwiches and not too sweet mai thais (sp?) were great. Thanks AA for the awesome time!

My family took this ferry between the islands. I was honestly wondering how the kids were going to behave on the trip, never having taken them on a ferry before...and knowing full well how crazy airplane travels usually are for us...I have to admit their was some hesitation on my part.
But the kids loved it...and it was really a short trip...done before they even had a chance to get grouchy or fidgety too much.
Added to the relatively short duration, were the views from the water that always gave us all something pretty to look at from all sides. A hassle free way to get between islands.

Definitely do the Snuba! We was so many turtles at the second dive site. The first site was great for getting used to Snuba and seeing some interesting fish. One of the kids from the family on board with us saw a shark even!
There were so many turtles at the "cleaning stations" for the second dive site. They were popping up to breathe near the boat before we even got in the water! We got underwater cameras on the boat as well. The diver guiding us through the snuba snapped some closeup pictures of the turtles for us! Such a great experience!
The crew was fantastic. It was a smaller boat, so it wasn't like a cattle call getting on and off the boat. The captain even went out of his way on the way back so that we could see some whales! We got to see 6 whales total on the trip! Great experience! Great crews! I couldn't recommend this particular tour enough. Tremendous value for the money and a crew that was so much fun!

I enjoyed the sail to Molokini on the Four Winds. It was a one-hour sail to the crater, however in that short timespan, I started feeling the effects of the water motion. This was partly due to the fact that we had spent 25 minutes listening to the snuba instructor's instructional briefing, which kept us focused on him, inside the boat. By not keeping our eyes on the horizon during that time, we started feeling queazy earlier than expected.
The snuba itself was fun, although I had difficulty sinking down to the bottom despite the weights. I guess my technique needs improvement. The water was beautiful and warm, and the fish were fun to see.
Both breakfast and lunch were provided on the catamaran. Breakfast was served at 7:30 am, when the boat departed the harbour, and lunch was served at 10:00 am upon arrival at Molikini. It was a little odd to have hamburgers and hot dogs served at that time, and we weren't really hungry due to the queasiness, so we didn't eat. Luckily, I had br

It was great to see the elegantly swimming sea turtles up close, which were actually quite larger than I imagined. It felt like I was swimming alongside them while snorkeling.
I also challenged myself with snuba, and although I struggled a bit, it was wonderful to experience the fish and underwater scenery that you can't see with just snorkeling.
My wife seemed to struggle with seasickness, but TAKAKO was very kind and supportive, which was a big help. Having Japanese staff really brings a sense of安心.
I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

Swimming with sea turtles in the crystal-clear sea was the best! We were able to see three sea turtles. Having a Japanese guide made it easy to enjoy ourselves on Maui, even though Japanese is not widely understood there. After all, since it’s a tour where you entrust your life, it would have been really anxiety-inducing if there was a language barrier. However, there were some people feeling a bit queasy from seasickness, so it might not be enjoyable for those who are prone to it.
何と言っても、透明度の高い海でウミガメと一緒に泳げたのが最高!!3匹のウミガメを確認できました。日本人ガイドさんがいてくれるので、日本語がほとんど通じないマウイ島でも、安心して楽しめました。やはり、命を預けるツアーなので、言葉が通じないと、ちょー不安だったと思います。でも、船酔いでダウン気味の人たちもいたので、船酔いしやすい人には楽しめないかもしれません。

I participated with my 12-year-old son on March 24, 2010. Although we had snorkeling experience in Oahu, it was our first time in Maui. The boat for this tour was large and impressive, unlike the smaller boats we had in Oahu, and my son didn't get seasick.
There were only two Japanese families participating, including us, so there was just one Japanese staff member. However, they were very attentive and provided us with timely information, allowing us to act smoothly and enjoy the activities.
The water clarity at Molokini exceeded our expectations. You could almost see the seabed from the surface! While there weren't an overwhelming number of fish, we still had a good time. We also moved to a spot where turtles were supposed to be, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any.
From a Japanese perspective, it gets quite cold when you come out of the water, so I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear on top. The meeting place, Ma'alaea Harbor, can also be windy and chilly in the morning.

I participated in a tour on October 6th, and I'm a banker with a henna tattoo on my arm.
The clarity of the water at Molokini is amazing! I signed up for the snuba as an add-on, but I couldn't go deep because I couldn't use the ear plugs. However, I recommend it because you can see different scenery compared to snorkeling. The sea turtle spot was truly filled with turtles (laughs). I lost count of how many I saw... While I was popping my head out of the water, trying to find my friend, people around me gestured, "Next to you, next to you!" When I looked over, there was a turtle that had come up for air right next to me! I hurriedly moved away, but I was so excited and moved to see it breathing and moving its eyes up close.
The staff member Takako was very helpful, accompanying me since I was anxious about swimming and taking many underwater photos with my friend. The luau show she recommended was really great!
I also encountered a pod of wild dolphins, making it an incredibly rare experience. I highly recommend this tour! ★
