For our last full day in Maui, my husband and I decided to book the 10:30 a.m. Discover Lanai Sail; what a good choice! From the moment we boarded the boat until the end of the day, the Trilogy crew did everything possible to make sure we had an exceptional experience. There were 5 crew for 50 passengers, so one of them was always nearby.
Once we were underway to Lanai, they served beverages, delicious cinnamon rolls and fresh fruit. The humpback whales were very active so the captain did his best to get closer when there was a sighting. As we got close to Lanai, we were surrounded by a school? of spinner dolphins. What fun!
After docking, they took us to the beach — quiet and sandy with restrooms and plenty of shade. Chairs, mats and snorkeling gear were efficiently distributed to get us into the water quickly. There was gentle surf but it was fairly easy to walk in. We’ve snorkeled many places, and this was nice, though not extraordinary. There were many fish, but the variety was limited. Still fun, and crew were very vigilant about keeping everyone safe.
For those who didn’t want to get in the water, (or didn’t stay in very long, like us), there was an island van tour that took about an hour an a quarter. There was no microphone used so I couldn’t hear quite everything, but it was interesting to see Lanai City.
At 3:00 we had a late lunch in Trilogy’s covered pavilion overlooking the dock area. Very pretty there. They served healthy and tasty food — tossed salad, noodle salad, corn on the cob, and BBQ chicken.
On our trip back to Lahaina (4-ish), the crew opened the bar as soon as the boat cleared the harbor for our trip back to Lahaina. Woo-hoo! Whale watching was even better than it had been in the morning. We also saw two baby whale breeches; what a thrill!

What a wonderful tour!! This was the highlight of our 10 days in Hawaii. Our guide, Gary was great, and the lunch was wonderful on the black sand beach at Hana! Our pilot, Glenda was great! I've never seen such a beautiful place. We will return and do this tour again!

Outstanding trip. Very knowledgeable crew and really looked after everyone. The lady captain was superb, buffet great, but as an English lady I did have to ask for a knife and fork, which everyone found highly amusing.
Would definitely recommend, the best trip of my holiday.

My family absolutely loved this activity. Great service, fantastic food and drinks. Great performance sharing the tradition of Aloha and the history. Luau was also in a great location overlooking the beach. Very close to where we were staying.
What to expect? A warm shell Lei greeting, photo for purchase, friendly staff, great service, great performance, great Mai Tai's, and a meal that will make you want to stay in Maui. This activity is recommended for anyone of any age. Great time!

By far the best snorkel excursion we ever took. Safety was the Captain's first priority and it was greatly appreciated.
The Four Winds offers just about everything possible from small boats for children, life jackets, other floating devices, and under water camera rentals. The crew was awesome.
What to expect? A crew that knows how to have a great time. Don't worry if you forget something because honestly they have everything including wet suits and eco friendly sun screen. On the way to Molokini, we seen a double whale breech which is the best I have seen yet. The captain was very knowledgeable about whales and turtles and was quite funny as he cracked a few jokes along the way. Upon boarding breakfast was served. Later lunch and on the way back a few beers. Great way to end a fabulous day.
I would highly recommend this activity for couples or families. Can't wait to do it again next year.

My wife, myself and my sister with her husband were able to get this trip. We were told that normally they like to do this trip with 6 people. We had only four in our group but they still ran the trip. We took the early morning van ride to Hana and the helicopter ride back. You can do this trip either way. We had a brand new GMC custom van, it was great. Greg our driver said that this company only has newer vans. The only thing better than a new van was a very experienced driver. Greg was great, he knew all the places to slow down and where you could get the best pictures. My wife and sister are very much into flowers, Greg was very knowledgeable on the subject. Many years ago I drove this road and I missed so much, having a driver/guide is the best way to to this. I have a commercial driving licence so I can recognize and appreciate a professional driver. Lunch was very good and light, you want that for the helicopter flight back. The pilot, Glenda was very smooth and safety was always a big concern. The helicopter company was Blue Hawaiian, top notch outfit. I could not think of one negative comment or even a constructive criticism. Is it cheap no, is it value for your money yes.

The crew made sure everyone's needs/wants were tended to. I felt nauseated when snorkeling and swam back to shore and someone was in the ocean to help, then someone on shore removed my goggles and such, another staff member gave me ideas to "recover", and on the trip back, a different staff member found the best place for me to sit and sip some ginger ale. They engaged our young adult children and were fun loving - entertaining - and educational (about the sharks that were sighted) - plenty of food and drink.
All ages will enjoy this outing.

Had a really good time on the trip. The customer service was top notch; every employee was ready to jump to serve the customer. It was a very smooth ride to Lanai accompanied with juice, coffee, cinnamon buns, and breakfast sandwiches. You end on a pretty secluded beach, and while snorkeling the crew was great about being available if you needed help, but otherwise leaving you alone to see the sights. Lunch was grilled chicken and Asian noodles. On the ride back they serve ice cream and then open the bar. We saw whales on both the outgoing trip and the return, and the captain would stop to view them. The only part I thought that was less than stellar was the food quality. While certainly not bad, it just wasn't anything great. Also, the description makes it seem like they serve booze the whole time, but they don't open the bar until about the last hour of the trip. All in all a very fun experience and a great trip for families.

The boat they normally take you on was in dry dock, so we didn't get the glass bottom boat. Also the wind was too strong that day, so we didn't get to go to Molokini. ...Basically we didn't get either of the things that were advertised, but those were uncontrollable elements and not the fault of the business. They took us out north along the coast from Ma'alaea Harbor and stopped at two separate locations. We still saw some tropical fish and some coral, and the water was warm and wonderful. They grill up a delicious burger and hotdogs if you buy the option to eat lunch on the boat, which was only $8 extra per person if memory serves. The ladies on the boat were very friendly and learned everyone's names by heart. They helped with instructions on the flippers and scuba gear. A great time with really nice people. I would definitely do it again!! They advise going on the morning sail if you want a chance to get to Molokini. That's where the real beauty is!

We didn't get to either spots listed in the title of the tour due to weather. Maybe, in the future, they can offer a discounted 2nd trip so you can actually get to Molokini Crater. They don't offer that, so you get what you get. The "glass bottom" boat is also a deceiving description of this boat. Don't go based on this alone. The area we went was suitable for a relaxed first time snorkel. Lots of people, but my Mom still got first class treatment due to her fear of the new adventure. Heather ensured she felt comfortable in the gear and went into the water with her to get her comfortable to go off on her own! It was a very good experience, although I would not take a tour like it again. I would opt for something with less people on a smaller boat, for sure. If you choose to purchase the photos at the end, make sure you sought him out to actually take some pictures of you first or you will just have a lot of pictures of other people. The pics he took of my Mom are really good, although there are none of me while snorkeling. But, there were a LOT of people, so how could he possibly get pics of everyone.
All in all the boat was clean, the people were nice, and the snorkeling was really great! The food was pretty good, too.

We used this for our honeymoon trip.
As part of the basic tour, we had a snorkeling and snuba experience around Molokini Island.
Honestly, my impression was that there weren't many fish there.
After that, we moved to a spot where we could see sea turtles, and it was mentioned that snorkeling or snuba could be done for an additional fee.
At first, I was a bit disappointed because I thought the price included everything, but in the end, I was able to swim with two sea turtles, and there were also some lucky moments where we saw dolphins and whales from the boat, so it turned out to be a satisfying tour.
The tour instructors were generally cheerful people, so we had a great time.
新婚旅行で利用させていただきました。
基本のツアーとしては、モロキニ島の周辺でのシュノーケル+スヌーバ体験。
ここでは正直そんなに魚はいないなというのが正直な感想でした。
その後で海亀の出るスポットに移動して、追加料金でシュノーケルorスヌーバができるということでした。
最初は全部込みでの値段だと思っていただけにがっかりする気持ちもありましたが、結果としては2匹の海亀と一緒に泳ぐこともできましたし、それ以外にも偶然的な要素はあったかと思いますがイルカやクジラも船の上からですが見ることができたので満足のいくツアーになりました。
基本的にツアーのインストラクターも陽気な人たちだったので、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

I participated in the tour with my 0-year-old and 6-year-old, and while I had some concerns, we drove to the dock with a rental car.
The meeting place was easy to find, and there was a very friendly and approachable Japanese guide, which made me feel at ease when boarding the boat. We brought a stroller, and the staff helped us out, even carrying my child while I was snorkeling, which was very kind and made me happy☆
My 6-year-old had plenty of snorkeling experience, but it was their first time snorkeling in deep water, and they were quite scared. However, they were super excited and enjoyed themselves at the second turtle spot.
The boat also had a slide, and both my husband and 6-year-old were really pumped about it.
I wasn't expecting much from lunch, but the burgers were really delicious. After snorkeling, there was unlimited alcohol! As a heavy drinker, I was quite pleased with this!!
I highly recommend this for both adults and families!

We visited Maui for the first time with our family this time. I found out about this tour while looking for a luau show along the coast.
It was very close, just a 10-minute drive from our hotel in Kaanapali, and although the parking lot was small, it was convenient as we could easily find parking nearby.
Even before the show started, we enjoyed the atmosphere with unlimited drinks and poke dishes. The show seemed a bit subdued since the stage was a little far away, but I think it would have been more exciting with a fire dance. Overall, I highly recommend it!

As November is approaching, it was a bit chilly, but the water clarity was beautiful, allowing us to see all the way to the bottom! However, it gets cold when you come out, so you'll need dry clothes. There were Japanese staff members who kindly checked on us multiple times to see if we were okay and even took photos for us. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles, but we had a wonderful experience snorkeling for the first time.
