The snorkeling experience was breath taking,literally!! I hadn't snorkeled in years and had a hard time not breathing through my nose. The team worked with me to get be back in the water and snorkel. The team was very friendly and connected with everyone in a personal level. The boat was smooth ride, which surprisingly didn't get my husband sea sick. We had a great time snorkeling Molokini crater and searching for sea turltles along the shore. We weren't able to snorkel turtle town due to the murky waters, however, snorkeling the back of Molokini crater was also a unique experience. We would definitely take this snorkeling tour again and recommend it to anyone!!!

I participated on October 14, 2009.
In the morning, the pickup was at 8:04, so it didn't feel too early, and I wasn't too sleepy, which was great!
The boat was very sturdy, the lunch was delicious, and above all, there were two Japanese instructors, which made me feel very reassured and supported!
And the clarity of the sea! It was much more amazing than I had imagined, and I couldn't believe I was in the water! The water temperature was around 25 degrees, and my child and I went in without renting wetsuits, but if you're really not good with the cold, you can rent one for about $10, so I recommend that. If you're not a strong swimmer, you can borrow a floatation device, and the guides will watch over you in the water, so it's very safe.
One disappointing thing was that we couldn't see any sea turtles. Some people in our group were able to see them, so I guess we were just unlucky... If we had seen the sea turtles, it would have definitely been a five-star experience!
I was blown away by the clarity of Molokini, and I definitely want to go diving next time!
Overall, I think this tour is perfect for making memories!
2009年10月14日に参加しました。
朝は8:04にピックアップでそれほど早いとかんじることもなく朝早く眠くて大変だったということもありませんでした(^^)
船はとてもしっかりしたものでランチもおいしかったし、なにより日本人のインストラクターの方が2人もいてとても安心しましたし心強かったです!
そして海の透明度!!これは想像していたよりずっっっとすばらしいもので水の中にいるとは思えませんでした!水温は25度くらいで、私達親子はウェットスーツは借りずに入りましたが、寒いのがすごく苦手!という方は確か10ドルくらいで借りることができるのでそちらをおすすめします。泳ぐのが苦手という方も体を浮かしてくれる棒を借りれるしガイドの方が海の中で見ててくれるので安心です☆
1つ残念だったのが海亀を見ることができなかったこと(><)
一緒に行った人の中では見れた人もいたようなので私達は運が悪かったんだと諦めてはいますが・・・もし海亀が見れていたら珍しさも☆5つでした!
モロキニの透明度にやられてしまい、次は絶対ダイビングをしたいです!!
とにかくこのツアー思い出作りにはもってこいだと思います

I participated on October 6th as a nurse. Molokini is absolutely wonderful. That blue color is truly special. I usually can't be without my glasses due to my eyesight, but the world I saw in that ocean was completely different from my everyday life. I think it's because of the high transparency, but above all, the blue! The moment I entered the water from the boat and dipped my face in, the blue was just mesmerizing. The freshly made cheeseburger with a patty was delicious too!
I was feeling very satisfied, but then a pod of dolphins suddenly appeared, and I was not just satisfied, but extremely excited! They swam alongside the boat and showed off their spin jumps; the surprise of encountering wild dolphins is unforgettable.
The turtle spot afterward was also incredibly exciting! Even though you're not supposed to touch them, they come so close that it's thrilling, yet I found myself thinking, "Don't come so close!" many times! The staff member Takako was also very kind to us.
While chatting about some adult topics (laughs), I went to the luau that you recommended, and it was absolutely fantastic. I mean, it was just the best! There's no way you can go to Maui and not visit Molokini! I absolutely recommend it!
10月6日に参加させていただきましたナースです。
モロキニ、素敵すぎます。あの青さはホント特別です。
私は普段からメガネの手放せない視力なんですが、あの海で見渡す世界は、完全に普段と別物です。
透明度も高いせいなんだと思いますが、なんといっても青さ!船から海に入って、ちょっと水に顔をつけたところから始まる青さはたまりません。
お昼に焼きたてのパテをはさんだチーズバーガーもおいしかったです♪
満足満足~と思ってたら、突如現れたイルカの群れに満足どころか、大興奮!!船に伴走したり、スピンジャンプを見せてくれたり、野生のイルカちゃんたちの、嬉しいサプライズは忘れられません。
その後のウミガメスポットは、また大興奮o(>▽<)o
触っちゃだめなのに、触れちゃうくらいにくるから、ものすごく嬉しいのに「そんなに近くに来ないで!」って何度思ったことか!
スタッフのtakakoさんにも、大変よくして頂きました。
ちょっと世知辛い大人の話もしつつ(笑)
教えていただいたルアウに行きましたが、最高によかったです。なんていうかもう…最高に良かったんですよ!
マウイまで行ってモロキニ行かないなんてありえません!絶対お勧めですv

My husband and I just went snuba diving at the Molokini Crater. This was my first time being in the ocean yet alone dive 20ft under the ocean. It was way better than snorkeling! Now I'm hooked on snuba and willing to do it again in the future! I recommend this to everyone who wants to experience a whole different world!

My girlfriend and I used Aqua Adventure on the 14th of August and it was great. The crew was easy to get along with and they were very helpful with the snuba part of the adventure. I would recommend them to anybody who wants more of a one on one experience they had a small group so it was a lot easier moving around on the boat. The only thing is they need to seperate the twosomes more on the tie line during the snuba dive so they don't run it to each other or get tangled. I was worried about the underwater breathing but it was very easy to do. Hope you give them a shot they are well worth it.

My wife was having difficulty adjusting to breathing with the regulator and was on the verge of a full blown panic attack. I had actually thought she was heading back to the boat but the next thing I knew, she was swimming right beside me. The diver/guide had removed her weight belt to let her get used to breathing underwater and then put it back on. She absolutely did not give up on my wife and had her underwater in no time. It would have been real easy to just let her go back to the boat, but she just wouldn't take no for an answer and we are glad she didn't. The dive was the one of the highlights of our trip!!! Many thanks to the staff!!!

This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Maui. We had a group of five for this trip, ranging in age from 8 to 73 and everyone had a blast. It was something completely new and unique for us and the memories of my son's face and he was swimming with the turtles and fish will always be with me. It was priceless and I would highly recommend it. The staff were great and gave me complete confidence that they would take care of my son as they encouraged him with the Snuba-ing. They were very patient and explained everything with a sense of humour and made the day completely memorable for us all. Thank you!

When I see the ocean, I remember. Especially in summer!!!
I participated in the tour last September. Sorry for the delay.
I joined with my husband.
There is a Japanese staff member, so even first-timers can participate with peace of mind.
I'm not a strong swimmer, so I thought I might just wait on the boat, but I was amazed by the beauty and clarity of the ocean and decided to give it a try!!
They provide life jackets and long sticks to help, so as long as you're not a complete non-swimmer, you'll be fine.
On our way to the spot where the sea turtles are, we were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins!! The staff were so excited by the large number of dolphins; it seems to be a rare occurrence.
Of course, we got to see the sea turtles!
Their eyes were so beautiful... they were close enough to touch, but I held back out of fear of a fine.
I want to go to Maui again this year~.
海を見ると思い出すのです。特に夏!!!
ツアー参加は昨年の9月でした。古くてすみません。
主人と2人で参加しました。

参加できます。
私は泳ぎが得意ではないので船で待っていようかな?
なんて思いましたが、あまりの海のきれいさ、透明度に驚き頑張って海へ!!
ライフジャケットもあるし、長いスティツクなども貸してくださるので、よほどのかなづちでなければ大丈夫です。
海がめのいるスポットへ移動中、ラッキーな事にイルカの群れと遭遇しました!!すごい数のイルカにスタッフの方も興奮するほどで、珍しい事のようです。
もちろん海がめに会えました!
目がきれいで・・・触りたくなるほど近くにいたのですが、罰金が怖くて我慢しました。

The staff were very funny, attentive, and just friendly. They made sure everyone is having a good time for the entire trip. From the start to the end, they were constantly working hard! They were serving foods for everyone, fitting snorkel gears, giving instructions, and just talking to the guests.
We were very fortunate to have 100ft+ visibility at the Molokini, so we were able to explore the rim part of the spot. We saw a lot of fish. We loved the Turtle Town where we spotted at least 5 sea turtles.
Great time. Great food. Great crew. Highly recommended!

A few years ago, I participated in this tour with my family, a total of 11 people. It was a lot of fun. My family enjoyed snorkeling and beach volleyball, while I relaxed in the shade, forgetting the daily hustle and bustle. I thought it was a tour where people of various ages, from my 1-year-old niece to my father-in-law in his 70s, could enjoy themselves in their own ways. The best memory was when we returned to port, sailing into the sunset; the atmosphere on the boat was wonderful. I definitely want to recommend this to honeymooners.
This year, it will be just the five of us: my husband and I, our daughter and her husband, and our grandchild. This will be our seventh time on the Trilogy cruising tour (and our second time to Lanai). The reason we choose Trilogy is that we don't get seasick. I had a tough experience once on another company's boat in Maui, where I got seasick. If you think you might not do well on a boat, please give this a try. I promise you will create wonderful memories.
何年か前に、このツアーに参加しました。私と家族、総勢11人で。楽しかったです。家族は、シュノーケルやビーチバレーをして楽しみ、私は、木陰で日頃の喧騒を忘れ、ゆったりと過ごしました。1歳の姪から70歳過ぎた義父まで、さまざまな年齢の者が、それぞれの楽しみ方ができるツアーだと思いました。一番の思い出は、帰港のとき、夕焼けの中を帆を立てていく船上は、とてもムードが良かったです。ハネムーナーには、是非、お薦めしたいです。
今年は、私たち夫婦と娘夫婦と孫の5人です。
トリロジーのクルージング・ツアーは、今年で7回目(ラナイ島へは2度目)になります。トリロジーを選ぶのは、やはり酔わないからです。マウイで、一度、他社の船で、酔って、辛い思いをした経験があるからです。船は苦手と思っておられる人は、是非、参加してみてください。素晴らしい思い出をお約束します。

After the venue opened, there was a long wait from when we sat down to when the meal started, but it was helpful that drinks were brought to our seats.
At the beginning of the show, there was a time for the children to go up on stage and learn hula. Some girls had dressed up for this.
As for the food... it wasn't very delicious. However, considering the price, it was about what I expected.
開場後、座席に座ってから食事開始までの時間が長かったですが、
座席にドリンクを運んでくれるので助かります。
ショーの初めに子供たちがステージにあがってフラを習う時間がありました。
このためにオシャレしている女の子たちもいました。

It was me, my sister, and four children (ranging from elementary school to preschool) participating. Since the little ones were scared of the ocean, I planned to take turns snorkeling with my sister, but the Japanese staff member was incredibly kind. She took the kids on a surfboard with a viewing window (?), bringing them to various points where we could see different fish and turtles. The child who was scared of the ocean was overjoyed. At the turtle viewing point, they exclaimed, "I saw six of them!" and spotted more turtles than I did!
I have participated in snorkeling tours in other countries before, but I could never enjoy snorkeling at a leisurely pace with kids. This time, thanks to the staff member taking care of the children, I was able to fully enjoy snorkeling at my own pace!
The turtles gracefully swimming in the vast ocean were wonderful, and I will definitely participate again next time I go to Maui. I highly recommend this tour for families with children!
私・姉・子供(小学生から幼稚園児の4名)の参加でした。
小さな子どもは海を怖がるので、姉と交代でシュノーケルを楽しもうと思っていたのですが、スタッフの日本人のお姉さんがとっても親切で、子供をサーフボードとのぞき窓付きのウェイクボード(?)に乗せて、いろんな魚やカメのいるポイントに連れて行ってくれました。
海を怖がっていた子供も大喜びでした。
カメの見えるポイントでは、「6匹も見た~」と親の私よりも多くカメを観ていました!
今までも、他の国でシュノーケルのツアーに参加していますが、子連れではゆっくりとシュノーケルをする事はできませんでした。
今回は、お姉さんが子供の面倒をみてくださったおかげでゆっくりとシュノーケルを堪能させていただけました!!!!
広い海を優雅に泳ぐカメもすてきだったし、次回、またマウイに行く時は絶対に参加します。
子連れのファミリーにもぜひぜひおススメのツアーです!!

Wow...what an experience.
The the captain along with the crew were fabulous. The day started off with a continental breakfast which was great. For lunch we were served the choice of chicken breasts, hamburgers or hot dogs along with both adult and children beverages.
Instructions provided for snorkeling were great. As a first timer they provided enough information about what to expect for the first time. They were right on the dime about what you would experience. By the end of snorkeling I was comfortable enough to go without the flotation device.
We are so looking forward to the next time and will definitely try snuba. Mahalo....

Trilogy has been in the boat excursion business longer than anyone here; and we can see why they are still at it. We came here to Maui in October 2008 and before in August 2004.
Their staff is well trained; they know what they are doing and where to go; and they are very helpful towards beginners and advanced folks alike.
This was my first time snorkeling and the staff really helped train me well so that I became confident very quickly. I was once a good swimmer but a major health crises kept me out of the water for quite a while and I was rusty. Ryan was helpful in reminding me of how to get back into swimming and then snorkelling became very easy.
The skipper had a great sense of humor and we will definitely use Trilogy again when we come back to Maui, using them for several different excursions.
When you are in Maui; check them out!

I participated in the Trilogy tour for the first time, and the boat ride was comfortable. The captain and other staff were friendly and fun, making for a very enjoyable experience. The BBQ lunch was delicious, and the Diet Coke I had after a long time felt refreshing.
If I had to mention something, the captain explained the history of Molokini Island and the second point we visited (maybe along the coast of Kihei), but my wife and I only speak broken English, so we couldn't understand anything, which was disappointing. It would be great if there were a tour in Japanese.
On the bright side, we did get to see a green sea turtle, and we returned to the harbor while relaxing and taking photos with the sails up, which added to our wonderful memories.
