The dolphin tours were booked so we can watch dolphins. Boy did I spend 500$ for that which got wasted as we did not spot a single one. Very disappointed. My kids were so excited to watch dolphin and we could not. I would not recommend this service to anyone ever.

We were visiting Maui for our 50th Wedding Anniversary and celebrating with our 4 children and spouses and 7 Grandkids - 16 total. We wanted a small boating trip that would accomodate everyone's individual ideas of a snorkeling trip - not too long, too many people, too choppy, etc. Then I found Aloha Blue charters online, it sounded perfect. They had a 2 hour private afternoon boat trip available for a reasonable price for the whole boat. Our Captain Larry and assistants Jeren and Sienna were a delightful team that made our trip very memorable. 13 of us were in the water for a little over an hour enjoying the underwater sealife and the others watched and enjoyed themselves on board. I would recommend this "customized" trip (2-4 hours - snorkeling, sightseeing and/or fishing) to all families visiting Maui that don't want what is offered on most of the more expensive trips advertised. We will book again on a return visit. Thanks!, Vicki and Jack

Too many people for the size of the boat. Hot dogs (what can I say). Afternoon is a snorkel near to the coast that is accessible from shore (not their fault except the say they will try to go to Molikini when there is zero chance in the afternoon). Best advice is to get up early if you really want a good snorkel experience and find a boat the is not so crowded.

Captain Jill, Silas, and Jen provided an amazing trip, complete with hundreds of spinner dolphins passing the boat along the way to Lanai.
The snorkeling near Lanai was incredible, with crystal clear water, beautiful coral, sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, huge schools of fish, and a baby octopus! My family and I could have stayed in that first snorkeling spot all day! All of us would highly recommend this trip. The captain and crew were knowledgeable, professional and fun. It was one of the best snorkeling trips we have ever taken.
Mahalo for snorkeling with us! We're so glad Jill, Silas and Jess were great host and you had an awesome experience with marine encounters! Mahalo for joining us!

Barbie is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced guide. She also makes sure you feel comfortable and prepared in the water. The scooters are easy to use, and I highly recommend paying a bit extra for the floatation wet suits (for ease and extra warmth in the water) and the go pro for must have videos!
We thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling with Barbie! We saw numerous fish, bright coral, turtles and a monk seal! It was a memory to last a lifetime. If you are inexperienced, do not hesitate to take this tour!
Aloha Christine and Jason and Warmest Mahalo for your Amazing 5 Star review, Congratulation to you both on your Anniversary and support Lahaina. Video taping the Monk Seal at Kapalua Bay was the first time in my 40 years of snorkeling. It felt like this beautiful Monk Seal loved having his video taken the way it stayed around and taking it time swimming from coral to coral and even coming to the surfaces. It seem to be very curious and the sound of the sea scooter didn't even make it leave. Even filming the sea turtles and sea life doesn't and hasn't make any difference in the ocean. Thanks to you both we all got to experience a very unique adventures. Truly appreciate you taking the time to write this review for us.

This day trip to Lanai’i was an experience my wife and I will never forget! Captain Joe and his crew are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and attentive! On the way we were able to spot a manta ray just as we left the dock and several whales on the way to Lanai’i where we got off the boat and snorkeled. We were also served a delicious lunch! Check out the photos the photographer takes too. She is awesome!
We’d like to send a special shout-out to Coby aka “Utah” who wins the Kindest Crew-member award for ensuring I was safe and still able to participate so my wife could fully enjoy snorkeling! We can’t tell you how much that meant to us, thanks again!

The snorkeling was very crowded. Can’t count the number of times I got hit in the head with one of their little glass bottom floating devises. Had to quit early because the waves were getting to big. Not their fault I know. The food wasn’t good and some of my family members had moldy buns. Did get to see some whales and turtles.
Aloha,
Thank for your choosing the Four Winds.
I'm sorry you felt the snorkeling location was crowded; Christmas time is the busiest time of the year on Maui, as I'm sure you could tell by the plane ride over.
Our hot BBQ lunch is a staple on our vessel, I am so sorry to hear that this wasn't the case for you and your family. I will be sure to pass your comment on to our management team.

This was an awesome snorkel experience! We loved the smaller group and the fact that it wasn’t jam packed on the smaller boat. You have plenty of time and space at both locations to check out the reefs, fish, turtles! Ryan and Esteban were certainly among the best tour leaders I’ve ever had. They were very helpful, knowledgeable, but also relaxed. If you are experienced, you are free to be on your way and if you need extra assistance they are there too. Overall, definitely recommend booking this experience!

We were supposed to gather at 7:30, but boarding and departure were around 8:00. Kanako, the Japanese staff member, was very attentive and made us feel at ease throughout the tour. The wind was strong, so our snorkeling time at Molokini Island was planned for one hour, but we wrapped it up in about 30 minutes and moved to the next point at Coral Gardens. We encountered a pod of dolphins around Molokini Island, which was amazing! Coral Gardens had more coral and fish than I imagined, and we even saw a sea turtle. The breakfast service and lunch (hamburger) were delicious as well.
7時半集合でしたが、乗船&出港は8時頃だったでしょうか。
日本人スタッフのカナさんが、とてもきめ細やかに声をかけてくれて終始安心してツアーに参加できました。
風が強くてモロキニ島ではシュノーケル1時間の予定だったそうですが、30分程度で切り上げて次のコーラルガーデンのポイントへ移動。
モロキニ島周辺でイルカの群れに遭遇して感動(^_^)
コーラルガーデンは想像以上に珊瑚やお魚が多くて、ウミガメにも逢えました。
朝食サービス、昼食のランチ(ハンバーガー)も美味しかったです。

The highlight of our trip. The ride over, while lengthy due to the fires in Lahaina, was great. The captain was funny, his name was Turtle. We saw dolphins and the snorkeling on Lanai was awesome. The trip was worth the cost, without even taking in to consideration the great lunch we were served. That chicken is amazing. You also get to visit a pretty exclusive beach, it’s shared with the Four Seasons Lanai, that is nice because your group is almost all the only people out there. Next trip we will definitely do this, or a trip to Molokini Crater. Either way, we will definitely use Trilogy again. They are fantastic.

The coral reef was smaller than I expected. It felt like a miniature version of Keauhou Bay on the Big Island of Hawaii. The glass bottom was quite scratched and didn’t look as beautiful as in the photos. The food and the crew were not bad; they made an effort to ensure we enjoyed ourselves.
The parking lot is paid. You can pay at a place called SECURITY using a card, or there’s a QR code at the tour reception that you can use to pay. I used the QR code, but the only payment option was Google Pay (which I might have missed), and luckily I had some balance left, so I was able to pay right away. However, I struggled to set it for 5 to 6 hours (if you go early, you need 6 hours until noon). It’s just a matter of selecting the range until noon, but the system was slow, and it was a hassle.
The worst part was when I tried to enter my car's license plate number, it switched to full-width characters, but I was still able to make the payment. When I disembarked, my car had been towed. When I asked the crew, they just told me to contact SECURITY. But when I called SECURITY, it went to voicemail since it was after noon. My car was moved to a junkyard in Kihei, which is 8.6 miles away.
So, when the tow truck arrived, I desperately pleaded with them to take me there. Inputting in half-width characters is very important.
珊瑚礁が思っていたより小さかった。
ハワイ島のケアウホウ湾の縮小版って感じた。
グラスボトムは、結構傷があって写真ほど、綺麗には見えない。
食事やクルーの感じは、悪くはない。楽しめるよう気を使ってくれる。
駐車場は有料。料金はSECURITY という支払い場所でカード等で支払うか、ツアー受付にQRコードがあるので、それを使って支払う。
QRコードを使ったのだが、支払いがGoogle pay しかなく(見逃したかも)、たまたま残金があったからすぐに支払えた。
ただ、5から6時間(早く行くと12時まで6時間必要になる)を設定するのに手間取った。その他を選んで12時までの範囲を選択するだけだが、動きが悪く、苦労した。
で、最もダメだったのが、車のナンバーを入力しようとした際、全角文字入力になったが支払いできてしまったこと。下船したらレッカー移動されていた。
クルーに聞いても、SECURITY に連絡するように言われるだけ。SECURITY に連絡してもお昼過ぎじゃないと留守電になる。車はキヘイの廃車置き場に移動されるので、道のり8. 6mileもある。
なので、レッカー車が来たときに必死に頼み込んで、つれていってもらった。
半角文字での入力。とても大事。

Aloha,
Maalaea Harbor parking is run by a company called Secure Parking Hawaii. I am very sorry to hear they towed your vehicle. We unfortunately have zero connection with their services... this is why our crew was unable to assist. The parking company also have a pay station at the harbor if you are unable to pay with your personal device. I wish there was a way we were able to assist guests with this, but it completely out of our control.
