If you are going to Maui you have to do this. Forget the Luau...forget the helicopter...this is wonderful. We did the full day cruise to Lanai that left at 10am and returned at 7pm/sunset. Everything about this event is first class. It starts with the boat...beautiful, clean, excellent condition, state of the art. Then the crew...knowledgable, professional, fun, appropriate, responsible, engaging, seemed to love watching all of us enjoy ourselves on this trip. The food...excellent and plentiful! The island of Lanai....what can I say....Bill Gates chose to have his wedding here for a reason. Great beach, snorkle, tide pools, landscape, etc was wonderful. THe trip over and back....thrilling...sea trutles, dolphins, sailing on the return trip...big swells!!! That was FUN!!! Will do this again and again. Feel blessed to have experienced this. Hats off to our crew, Captain "Turtle" and shipmates Quinn and Gabe. The best!

We did the Trilogy to Molokini and "Turtle Town" this past Monday (7/21/08) and can recommend it highly. It's the service you get that makes them better than the rest. There are a lot to choose from so consider that you really are going to get what you pay for here.

The crew is outstanding and have lots and lots of experience doing this trip. You have no worries about safety or security - both are important to the crew and it permiates consistently through their delivery of a fine experience for everyone. There are no bad apples here -- all four of the guys were friendly, supportive and helpful. None had an "off-day" attitude. They were just as happy to be going as we were. Each has his own duties including boat management, scuba introduction and assistance with the gear, fitting each guest with the properly sized flippers and mask/snorkle. They have wetsuit tops to help keep you warm in all sizes, an introductory course for snorklers, a constant guardian in the water with us, and a neverending watchful eye for any difficulties. They prep you at the beginning of the day about seasickness, dangers of getting too close to coral walls, toe-stubbers on the deck and boat, etc. There is plenty of food for everyone with plenty of second and thirds for those who choose. Go for it. Everything is included except the scuba gear. They also sell underwater cameras and tee shirts and stuff but there is no hard selling of any kind at any time at all. Not at all. You pay bigger for Trilogy than the others for that very comfort.

The trip was early for a reason: Molokini gets wickedly crowded with other boats. The "noodlers" from the other boats eventually anchored and descended upon us and damn near ruined it for my wife and me, but we didn't let them get to us. Trilogy gets you out of there earlier and on to turtle town for the same reason - the others migrate over and flood the area with "noodlers". But hey, this is the most popular dive, so you better understand that first. Still a good dive, but only recommended if you really want to say you dove Molokini and turtle town. Otherwise, know that you can do some better diving on your own at Kapalua bay and Honalua bay, Kaanapali/Black rock, etc.

I did get queezy some and recommend Dramamine to those who are overly sensitive. Ginger powder pills are available to you if you need them and they do work. I didn't use anything and was fine once we got back under way and had some lunch. Another guy was affected worse and he too was better once we got under way after the dives.

The big thing you need to know is this: If you are wanting to do a catamaran snorkle trip, Trilogy is probably your best choice. The crew is entirely what make the trip and you won't get a better set anywhere. They have seen it all and can handle any problem you personally may have. Any problem. They've been there many, many times. See my pictures and trust me. I was just there.

We did the Lanai snorkel 12 years ago on our honeymoon and have done it since because we loved it so much. Don't waste $$ with any other company, Trilogy is first class and a GREAT experience!

We took the Trilogy Molikini Tour in April 2008. Two adults, one 14 year old, one ten year old, one 6 year old. We motored out to Molikini where one of the staff went out on a surfboard to "spot" fish and suggest areas to snorkle towards (he was also making sure that we weren't swept away by the riptides at the edge!). When my 6 year old said she was cold..he put her on the surfboard with him and let the rest of us snorkle for 45 minutes! That's customer service. We also swam with the turtles near turtletown. We set sail and saw at least a dozen whales..one breached about 50 yards from the catamaran! The staff was talkative and informative, the food was fine, they delivered up extra ice cream sundaes to the kids. There are cheaper tours out there, I know. But this was first class...we were on the boat for 5+ hours, food all the time, beverages provided, really great crew. I highly recommend this outfit..worth every penny.
