We wanted to do something fun and exciting in the water while visiting Maui. We chose this adventure after hearing some great things about this excursion. Let me tell you, it was really fun! Not only did we get to snorkel and relax on the boat, but we also got to whale watch. The food is okay, but you're going for the actual snorkeling! We saw many sea animals and had a great time. You can tell the people running the operation really love their jobs. They sincerely care about the passengers on board. One woman in particular was extremely inviting and personally approached me just to talk. Wonderful day!

On March 30, 2013, I went with my family of three (10-year-old boy). The water clarity was somewhat low that day, and it felt like there were fewer tropical fish. However, we were able to encounter sea turtles. We were able to rent wet suits, so the 30-minute snorkeling was fine. On the way back, we enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere while sailing, and during the trips to and from the snorkeling spot, we also encountered whales together. They were quite close and impressive. Unfortunately, there was no Japanese-speaking crew, but it wasn't a problem at all.
2013/3/30に家族3人(10歳/男)で行ってきました。
この日は水の透明度がやや低く、熱帯魚も少ないような感じでした。
ただし、海亀には遭遇することができました。
ウエットスーツを借りることができたので、30分くらいのシュノーケンリングは大丈夫でした。
帰りはセーリングでのんびりした雰囲気も楽しむことができ、また、シュノーケリングスポットへの行き帰りにおいては、共にクジラに遭遇することができました。
かなり近くて迫力がありました。
残念ながら、日本語クルーは在籍していませんでしたが、特に問題はありませんでした。

We participated as a family of four. There were no Japanese people, including the staff, but the cheerful staff made it enjoyable without feeling alienated.
We went snorkeling in Honaunau Bay, and there was only one other boat in the spacious bay, allowing us to swim freely.
The water was very clear, and we enjoyed the corals and fish. We encountered a large number of sea turtles, almost six of them gathered together.
We changed spots and went snorkeling again, but at that location, there were fewer corals compared to the first spot, as it was rocky.
The waves on the way there and back were not too rough, and I didn't feel seasick at all.
I think more Japanese people should consider visiting.
家族4人で参加しました。スタッフを含め日本人はいませんでしたが、陽気なスタッフで、とくに疎外感を感じずに楽しめました。
ホノルア湾でスノーケリングをしましたが、湾にはもう一船いるだけで、広々した湾でのびのび泳ぎ回れました。
海の透明度は高く、サンゴ、魚は十分楽しめました。ウミガメの数は半端なく、6匹近くまとまって集まっているのに遭遇しました。
スポットを変えて、もう一度スノーケリングしましたが、そちらは岩場で、最初のスポットほどサンゴは見られませんでした。
行き帰りの波はそれほど荒くなく、まったく酔わずに済みました。
日本人がもっと訪れてもいいように思います。

First of all, I have a complaint. I was hoping for staff who could speak Japanese, and since I hadn't received any communication, I went out feeling at ease, only to find that all the guests and staff were foreigners. The staff welcomed us with smiles and assured us everything was fine, but I couldn't understand anything from the lengthy greetings to the explanations. However, the staff were considerate and made an effort to engage with us, so I didn't feel uncomfortable. In the end, my husband and I decided to just enjoy ourselves with our dialect, and it turned out well.
As for the tour content, I was very satisfied. Time flew by quickly.
まず最初に苦情を・・日本語を話すスタッフを希望していて特に連絡もなかったので安心して出かけたところ、客もスタッフも全て外国人。スタッフは笑顔で大丈夫だと迎えてくれましたが、長々と話される挨拶から説明事項までさっぱりわかりませんでした。確かにスタッフは気を使って話しかけてくれて居心地は悪くなかったので、開き直って主人と二人方言丸出しで楽しんでこれたので結果オーライでしたけどね。
ツアー内容は大満足。時間があっという間に過ぎて行きました。

We took our son on this tour and every one of us loved it. He had the best time learning about all the new fish and animals and underwater sights that were new to him, and we loved the idea that he was getting educated without even knowing it...as were we.
My wife is a sweet tooth and she could not stop raving about the cinnamon rolls! And I was partial to the lunch. I don't know if it was because we had been out swimming and snorkeling around, but everything tasted just so good, and I ate enough for four of me it seemed! ha.
It was a great day, The staff was excellent and we felt very looked after the whole time. A+

We were able to see a lot of turtles up close while snorkeling!! For us turtle lovers, it was truly moving (>0<)!
On the way to and from, we encountered a school of flying fish on the boat! They were jumping a lot~! During snorkeling, we got to see a family of barracuda, pufferfish, and various butterflyfish, among other underwater creatures that you would typically meet while diving. It was surprising to encounter them while snorkeling (・。・)!!
This time, the tour was in English, so we were the only two Japanese people. The rest were American families. Although it was English-only, we had no major issues even with our broken English. The captain was unique, and all the staff were friendly. We even met a family that had lived in Japan, which made it a lot of fun!!
While playing, there were floatation devices and life jackets available, and staff were always nearby, so we felt safe. I think it was a tour that people of all ages could enjoy!
スノーケルで、かめを沢山マジかで見れました!!これには、かめ好きな私達にとって、感動(>0<)/ものでした!!
行き帰りの途中、船の上で飛魚の群れに遭いました!メッチャ飛んでましたぁ~!
スノーケル中には、カスミアジの親子を見れたり、ハリセンボウや色んなチョウチョウウオの仲間達等・・と、水中でダイビングをすると出会えるような水中生物達に、スノーケルで出会えてビツクリ(・。・)!!!!
今回は、英語でのツアーだったので日本人は私達の2人だけ。後は、アメリカ人ファミリー等。と、英語onlyではありましたが、片言英語でもさほど問題なく、キャプテンもユニークで、スタッフの皆さんも親切だし、日本に住んでいたというファミリーとも出会えたりと、スゴク楽しめました!!
遊んでいる時も、浮き具やライフジャケットもあるし、必ず近くにスタッフの人もいるので、安心です。また、老若男女問わず楽しめるツアーだったと思います!

We loved everything. The Snuba with Chad and the food and Sailing. The Crew made the entire experience great and took care of us from the start to the end. It was one of our best experiences on a Hawaiian Island, ever!

My husband, 7 year old daughter and I attended the Trilogy Snorkel Cruise - Maui Discover Ka'anapali on Tuesday Aug 12th 2008.
We have both been snorkelers/divers since college in the early 90's, and were very happy with the tour.
The staff was professional, friendly, and full of history and knowledge of the area. The food was amazing, better than many of the restaurants on the island!
The first stop was incredible, lots of fish, coral and turtles. Our second stop was just around the corner but we were greeted by a pod of ~100 dolphins as we anchored. Lucky for us they stayed nearby and allowed us to swim toward them. Then amazingly they surrounded us and wild dolphins were everywhere, below us, to the sides, in front and behind. Swimming, jumping, and diving within an arms reach! This was truely a once in a lifetime experience and I am thankful to Trilogy for their care towards the environment and sincere connection with the sea.

Every time I visit Maui, I've participated in one of the Trilogy tours. Among them, my family and I love this tour the most. It's simply wonderful.
This is the tour I would highly recommend for fully enjoying the beautiful waters of Maui. I'm a woman in my 50s and not a great swimmer, but I still join in. They provide life jackets, after all. Also, even though I'm relatively prone to motion sickness, I've never felt nauseous on this boat. I've heard that no one gets seasick on this vessel.
I've always participated with my family—my husband and two daughters. This year, it's just my husband and our younger daughter (a college student) joining me. I made the reservation through this site. I'm looking forward to it.
There's no greater luxury than forgetting the daily grind of work and spending leisurely time with loved ones.
Delicious snacks and drinks, encounters with sea turtles... I have so many unforgettable memories. I even sent postcards to my parents and friends in Japan from the boat. The crew prepared the postcards and mailed them for us. My husband sent one to himself. During our last visit, we had a video taken, which was sent to our home later. It captured moments of me and my family snorkeling, as well as people we met on the boat, making it a cherished keepsake.
This year, I'm looking forward to seeing the familiar crew again and am working on my diet to aim for a beautiful swimsuit look, even as an older lady.
マウイ訪れる度に、トリロジーのどれかのツアーには参加してきました。その中でも、私と私の家族は、このツアーが一番好きです。素晴らしいの一言につきます。
この美しいマウイの海を満喫するには、一番にお薦めしたいツアーです。私も50代のオバサンです。泳ぎが苦手。でも、参加してしまいます。ライフジャケットもありますからね。また、比較的乗り物に弱い私ですが、全然酔うこともありません。この船で酔う人は皆無と聞いています。
いつも家族で参加してきました。夫と二人の娘と。今年は、夫と下の娘(大学生)との3人での参加です。このサイトから、予約しました。楽しみです。
仕事に追われる日々を忘れ、大切な者たちと、ゆったりとした時間を過ごす、これほどの贅沢はないでしょう。
美味しい軽食や飲み物、海カメさんとの出会い・・。忘れられない思い出が、いっぱいです。船の中から、日本にいる両親や友人に絵葉書を出したり・・。クルーが、ハガキを用意してくれて、投函もしてくれました。夫は、自分宛てに出していました。前々回は、ビデオ撮影もしてもらい、後日、自宅に送っていただきました。シュノーケルをしている自分や家族、船上で知り合った人々が写っていて、良い思いでの品になっています。
今年も、また懐かしいクルーの皆さんに合えるのを楽しみに、少しでも美しい水着姿のオバチャン目指してダイエットに励んでいます。

I experienced snorkeling, and it was amazing!
I found out about this tour after arriving on Maui. I decided to participate because I heard there was Japanese staff on this trilogy and the departure time was just right.
What impressed me the most was seeing sea turtles swimming right in front of me and the numerous fish! It was my first time snorkeling, but thanks to the staff's attentive support, I was able to enjoy it without any worries.
Also, the "cinnamon rolls" served for breakfast were warm and the variety of food was delicious, with exceptional service. I felt like a "queen"! So moving!
On the way back, the yacht sailing with the trade winds filling its sails was truly wonderful. I highly recommend participating with your family; I'm sure the kids will love it too.
If you decide to join the tour, I recommend bringing an underwater camera. Taking commemorative photos with the sea turtles would be fantastic!
おばさま、シュノーケリングを体験しました。 最高!
このツアーを知ったのはマウイ島に着いてからです。
このトリロジーに日本語スタッフが就任していると言うことと
出発時間が調度良かったので、参加しました。
参加して、感激したのは目の前で泳ぐ海がめ!、多数の魚達!
シュノーケリングは初めてでしたがスタッフの丁寧な対応で
不安も無く楽しむことが出来またした。
また、朝食に出た“シナモンロール”が暖かくバラエティに富んだ食事が
とても美味しく、至れり尽くせりの対応。
まるで「女王様!」になったみたい、、。 感激!感激!
帰路は「帆」に貿易風をいっぱいに受けて走るヨットが
とても素晴らしかったです。
ぜひ、ぜひ、ファミリーで参加してください、きっと子供さんも
喜ばれることでしょう。
それから、ツアーに参加されるのでしたら
水中撮影できるカメラを持参されることをお勧めします。
“海がめ”と記念撮影なんてステキですよね!
