All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

Ive been on this twice already!! Went with some buddies and we didn't realize that we were going to another island, the first time. Lanai is so beautiful with lots of reef fishes and the bluest water I have ever seen. Oh and we also saw some whales, the second time. Everyone on the crew is super awesome and really took care of us. Will be seeing you guys again ... hopefully sooner than later. lol.

My husband and I went snuba diving on the Aqua Adventure and loved it. The boat was smaller then some and held less people, which gave the passangers more individual attention from the crew. We had both a breakfast and lunch buffet aboard ship.The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth the money. Reccomended for all.

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!

This was the first time we had tried snuba and had a fabulous time. It was a great intro to scuba and as a result, we will definitely be looking into getting our certification for future trips.

We have been on whale tours before, we come to Hawaii every year, and this is by far the best one we have ever been on. Some of the other tours are boring and slow - this Tour is fast and fun! The boat itself is an adventure and we were able to race out to the whales in a record amount of time. We will definitely be coming back to take this tour and next time we will bring the whole gang from Texas to go too!!

The staff was excellent, professional, friendly, and very helpful. Not our first time coming to the island and snorkeling, but definately the BEST time!!!

We had a great time Kayaking to the turtle reef and swimming with the awesome sea turtles. Our guide, Griff, did an excellent job with instructing us on proper Kayaking and snorkeling technique. He was very knowlegeable about marine biology and gave us a unique lesson on Hawaiian history and culture. A well rounded, fun trip!

This is a MUST do for EVERYONE! We loved it so much we took TWO snuba trips! Sitting on the ocean floor in Turtle Town with two HUGE turtles was fantastic! We had been on several boats during our visit and the crew on this trip was the BEST! We can't wait to see the photos! Mahala and a hui hou!

This was an exceptional activity. Excellent service and attention and a smaller group on the boat makes this a great time. I can't imagine just snorkeling. We SNUBA'D at the crater and turtle city. A first time for our family. Highly recommend!

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.

初めてトリロジーのツアーに参加しましたが、船での移動も快適だし、キャプテンほかスタッフも親しみ易く楽しい人たちで、とても楽しく過ごせました。昼のＢＢＱランチもうまかったし、久しぶりに飲んだダイエットcokeも新鮮でした。
しいていえば、モロキニ島や2度目に行ったポイント（キヘイの沿岸かな）の歴史などをキャプテンが説明してくれたのだけれど、僕ら夫婦は片言英語しかできないので、まったく理解できなかったのが残念です。日本語のツアーがあるといいんだけれど。
一応、アカウミガメにも会えたし、セイルを張ってのんびりと写真など撮りながら帰港したなど、いい思い出が増えました。

My husband and I were too afraid to try scuba diving and this was the perfect fit for us. The guides are great and it was so much fun!

I had more time on the boat than I expected, but it was very enjoyable. The captain informed us that there was a large turtle while we were on the boat.

船に乗っている時間が思った以上にありましたが、とても楽しかったです。
おおきな亀は船にのっていると船長さんがしらせてくださいました。

Out of all the trips and activities we did on Maui, this trip was our favorite. The crew were so much fun and we saw some dolphins swimming with a whale family. We will never forget this fantastic experience!

This was my first time snorkeling. The guide made it easy and fun. I want to do it again!

It was my first experience, but the Japanese staff kindly guided me, allowing me to enjoy playing in the sea without any worries. There were many fish, and I was able to see a lot of sea turtles as well. If I have the chance to go again, I would like to try it again.

初めての経験でしたが、
日本人スタッフが親切に指導してくれて
悩むことなく海で遊べました。
魚が一杯いて、ウミガメも多く見ることができました。
また、行くことがあったら再挑戦したいと思います。

Saw plenty of whales with the closest ones coming within 70ft of the boat. The boat was comfortable and viewing was not a problem. The Captain's banter helped make it a very enjoyable trip.

MUST DO! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRIP EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATION!

My kids could not stop screaming when they saw the impressive breaching. My 5-year-old twins fell in love with the whales. I'm so glad that we took this excursion. Thanks for the good time. Great value!

I participated in a tour without pick-up on January 24 at 9 AM. We boarded a small boat and listened to explanations inside the submarine as we made our way to it. It took about 15 minutes, but the view of the island from the sea was very beautiful, and since it was January, we were able to see whales as well.

We transferred to the submarine on the water. The boarding order started with a large group, and I ended up boarding last, sitting right next to the pilot and the guide. Perhaps it was to help solo participants get to know each other?

We looked out through a round window about 40 cm in diameter and 15 cm thick, observing the underwater scenery. With beautiful bubbles, we quickly descended to the seabed, which was a blue world with few colors. We quietly moved towards a spot where many fish could be seen, changing the submarine's direction so that both the people on the right and left could see the fish well, passing through schools of fish, coral, seaweed, and sea urchins. Suddenly, a large fish appeared, and the guide's shout of "sushi fish!" made everyone burst into laughter!

I felt there were fewer fish than expected, but since it was a deep and vast underwater world, they were probably scattered around. The submarine headed towards a sunken ship, and after observing the fish living there, we returned. In the end, I was thrilled to see three rays swimming slowly. I wanted to see a sea turtle, but I was told, "They don't come to such deep places far from land." I wondered why there was a sea turtle depicted in the pamphlet.

We surfaced with bubbles and exchanged groups with the next tour participants before returning to the port.

I was able to have a valuable submarine experience, and while it wasn't 20,000 leagues under the sea, it was wonderful to see a world I couldn't dive into myself. Moreover, it was a tour where I could enjoy the foreign atmosphere with a guide who entertained everyone and fellow participants having fun. Out of 48 people, I was the only Japanese, so I was quite anxious, but there were Japanese explanation materials and audio guides available on board, so it was fine.

Above all, the staff was considerate, allowing me to have a great time. They took photos during boarding, and those who wanted could buy them for $20 when disembarking. The guide made sure to pose with me for a photo since I was participating alone! A short DVD of the submarine experience was also included, making for a wonderful keepsake. I didn't quite understand, but they were selling tickets for $25 on board that allow free rides at any Atlantis for a year.

On October 26, my wife and I participated together. After deciding to go to Maui, snorkeling at Molokini was the first thing we planned, and our expectations were quite high. However, the clarity of the water did not disappoint, and both my wife and I were very satisfied. There seemed to be slightly fewer fish, but that might depend on the season. We also added a snorkeling experience with snuba for an extra fee, which I highly recommend. We were allowed to do it for quite a long time, and we could even take photos and videos with our own underwater camera. Both my wife and I had experience with introductory diving, but the Japanese instructor provided detailed guidance, so even beginners should have no problem. It was so much fun that I became even more eager to obtain a diving license. Moving from Molokini to observe honu (turtles) while snorkeling was truly moving for me as a turtle lover. Since we could return to the hotel by early afternoon, I think it will be a fulfilling day with plenty of time left in the afternoon!

10月26日に嫁と二人で参加しました。マウイ島に行くと決めてから、モロキニ島シュノーケリングはまず最初に決めていたし、かなり期待値は高かったのですが、期待を裏切らない透明度で私も嫁も大満足でした。魚が若干少ない気もしましたが季節にもよるのかもしれません。それからスヌーバを追加料金で体験したのですが、これはぜひお勧めです。結構長い時間やらせてもらえたし、自分で持ち込んだ水中カメラやビデオでを撮影してもらえたりしました。私も嫁も体験ダイビングの経験があったのですが日本人のインストラクターが細かく教えてくれるので初心者の方でも問題ありません。とても楽しくて、ダイビングのライセンスを益々取得したくなりました。モロキニから移動してのホヌ（カメ）観察シュノーケリングもホヌ好きの私としては何とも感動的でした。昼過ぎにはホテルに戻れるので、午後もたっぷり使えて充実した一日になると思いますよ！

We would highly recommend this adventure to everyone. The guide was awesome and made the experience just wonderful. We had a group of 8 which was really nice.

This was our first time trying Snuba and I don't know where to begin. Hawaii activities was great about following up with us to remind us of our event. The crew for our event was exceptional!!! We had snorkeled the day before with another charter that was good but hands down the crew on this boat was the best. As we boarded the boat they took our pictures and they had a separate film guy that took footage while we were on the boat and under the water in both places we dived. If you're not sure about scuba diving then try snuba first. It allows you the freedom of being under the water without wearing tanks. Good indicator if you're going to like scuba.

This was the best snorkeling tour I have ever been on. The 2 guys that conducted it were awesome and everyone had a great time! I definitely recommend Aloah Blue Charters for your snorkeling tours!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Kayak lessons and putting what we learned into practice. It was a bonus spotting the beautiful sea turtles while snorkeling.

Had a BLAST!! Captain & crew went above and beyond to please all. Great food too.

The crew of Trilogy V Capt. Patti, Ryan, Brett and Cyrus were the best absolutely phenomenal. I would take this tour again with the same crew. We had an amazing time would highly recommend to anyone.

Staff on boat was the best. I learned more than I ever did when I took scuba lessons years ago. Snuba and snorkeling were great, and we saw a pod of spinner dolphins swimming with our boat.

I could not have been happier about this snuba experience. From the moment we arrived the staff were so welcoming and genuinely kind that it made us newlyweds feel right at home. The boat was the perfect size with plenty of room for everyone. I could go on and on about the captain, crew, boat, sites, atmosphere, fish, and TURTLES... but this truly was an amazing experience that we will pass on to our family and friends as a must do when visiting Maui.

I have to give props to the crew and the captain for making this the most enjoyable time i have ever had. Everyone on the crew was friendly, helpfull, curtious and just plain nice to be around. Was expecting a little more on the snuba dives, but i went in thinking discovery channel quailty. But the dive was still fun non the less. We got to see sharks, turtles, sea slugs, eels and much more exotic fish. And i was this close to a turtle! I would recommend this activity with auqa adventures any time for many reasons. The first being a great crew and second it was a smaller boat and not the big tourists one that can get anonying with all the screaming kids. When we take another vacation back to maui we are definatly doing this again!

This trip was a highlight of our honeymoon! If we could have we would have book it for two days instead of one. The staff was awesome and made us feel very welcomed! Thank You!
