There are many sailing trips to Molokini out of Maui. We really enjoyed the trip with Trilogy. Great guides, good food, good snorkel equipment. Didn't try snuba, but looked like real fun. They suggested an anti-nausea drug called Marezene (I think) that worked great and didn't make me sleepy. We saw so many whales on the way out! and we... More

We took the 4-hr QS trip this morning. The crew, were young and enthusiastic, helpful, fun and very friendly. Captain was very experienced, with a great sense of humour and gave history of the island and of the sea life. There were less fish at Molkini than I recall from 20 years ago, but this trip was fantastic for my... More

This was so much frun for our family! The crew was very knowledable and friendly. The staff made sure you were taken care of 110% of the time. The breakfast and lunch was delicious. They took us out to Molokini then to Turtle Town,afterwards they took us further south to give us the history of Maui. It is a wonderful... More

A friend of mine and myself travelled to Molokini on the Maui Diamond II (Highly recommended!) through Maui Dreams Dive Co. (Also Highly Recommended!), and the diving was great. Visibility was superb and the assortment of sea life was huge. More

We had heard that Molokini is one of the top 10 snorkeling spots so even though we had found excellent snorkeling off the beach near our condo in Kihei, we booked an excursion with Trilogy. The boat and crew were great. On the return sail the Captain noticed a whale watching boat hanging out in one area and headed straight... More

...because we didn't get to snorkel! We paid for a snorkel excursion, and after the boat ride out there, they said it was too windy and not good conditions to snorkel. So we basically paid for a round trip boat ride where we ate a few hot dogs along with 50 other disappointed tourists. If I had known of the... More

We always go with the Maui Diamond II when booking a scuba or snorkeling trip on a boat. We've tried the other operators & MDII wins, hands down. The crew is wonderful & will always make sure everyone has a great time. They have good safe equipment if you need to rent. The operation you go with can make all... More

This was probably one of the worst areas I've ever snorkeled. I've been snorkeling for over 15 years now all over the world and this had to have been the worst place I've evern snorkeled. First, there weren't many fish. The fish that there were I was able to see right off shore back on Maui. The coral wasn't that... More

If you haven't done this trip it's probably worth at least a one-time cruise. I can't tell you if Four Winds is any better than the other boats but we have taken it 3 times and generally they do a good job of keeping you feed and entertained. As for the snorkeling again if you are a first timer it's... More
