Snorkeling the Molokini Crater will be a highlight of your Maui vacation! There is no better way to experience the beauty of the Hawaiian waters and this ancient crater than on a luxury sailing catamaran! There is ample room on our spacious vessels and you will visit two snorkeling locations - the crystal clear waters of Molokini and the remarkable shallows of the Maui coastline that is home to many Hawaiian honu (seaturtles).

We have taken trips with Trilogy the last 3 years that we have visited Maui (6 year time span). Trilogy is the best! This trip we went out whale watching with them and had a great time! We also took a trip out to Molokini and felt spoiled! They are so attentive to your every need. The Crew is friendly and knowledgeable. The food is great! The boats are beautiful and well kept. Every trip to Maui will always include a sail with Trilogy! Highly recommend!
First rate trip for our whole group! Our family (5 adults, 5 teens) had a great time. Wonderful trip out to Molokini - saw numerous whales while eating tasty fruit and coffee cake. Little crowded at the snorkel site but that's because it was spring break that week, not because of Trilogy. Our second stop at Turtle Town was even better - lots to see and not as many people. Staff pleasant and fun - attentive to safety but still kept everyone having a good time. Excellent service and great food too! Highly recommended!
Had the pleasure of taking the 7 am trip to Molokini with Captain Martin and his crew. Would definitely come back and do this again. Trip departs from Maalea Harbor which is not a bad drive from Kihei or Kapalua. The Captain was very informative throughout the trip and made sure we had a good time. Given the trade winds, the trip to Molokini can be quite difficult. The Captain communicated this to us and said that if it was too windy then we would snorkel at a second dive spot. We ended up being able to make it to Molokini, but also to the second dive spot. It was so much better than Molokini. Got to see some awesome fish and sea turtles. Even saw some whales. Had plenty of snacks on the boat and they provided a nice teriyaki chicken/fried rice/salad plate for lunch. Even some beers on the way back!
We went on a snorkeling trip and it was a great experience. The boat was comfy, the food was delicious and restrooms were nice. The staff kept a close eye on the weaker swimmers and were immediately bringing in any struggling swimmers. The island was the first stop and was gorgeous with tons of fish, sea urchins, and coral. The second spot didn’t have much to offer and people returned to the boat rather quickly after getting into the water. They have a good reef safe sunscreen to use on the boat free of charge as the normal sunblock kills the coral and is a big no no.
We had a great day snorkeling at Molokini. The crew were excellent - polite and engaged while also laid back and fun. They were very knowledgeable about the area and provided great advice on where to find turtles and other marine life. The food was excellent too. We would book this tour again in a heartbeat.
My favorite thing we did on Maui. Kind and experienced staff, good food, and plenty of room to sit and enjoy the view — not to mention it was clear they cared about respecting and preserving their marine environment. Highly, highly recommend. Thanks Capt. Pat, Willie, and everyone else!
This was a great day, great cruise and exceptional crew. Each member of the crew showed off their talents and shined. Our captain made us feel safe and made some tough calls due to unusual weather. A large contingent was sea sick while other were skilled divers. The crew brought us home under sail after an experience that was the best we could have. February is whale season, members of the crew shared facts about the whales, the islands history and the sport.
WE HAD A BLAST! If you are interested in trying snorkeling, don't start at the local beach. We tried that and found the waves were to much for us. On this cruise you'll get great service and they know where to go based on the weather and the ocean's conditions. We had a photographer on board, Aaron, and his shots we're fantastic. Don't bother bringing a underwater camera. Aaron took shots of my wife and I swimming together and added a bunch of great shots of us that I didn't know he was taking. We bought the package and it was well worth it. We had our mother in law with us and she had a great time too. Happy Swimming!
