Know what’s the best things about snorkeling tours in Maui? No two tours are the same.
In our 50 years of offering Maui snorkeling tours we can confidently say we’ve never had the exact same experience twice.
That’s the beauty of working outdoors, where the marine life, winds, weather, and conditions are occurring naturally on their own unique cycles—indifferent to us humans and our plans.
All that we as tour operators can do is study the conditions, know our environment, and use our judgment to determine what—and where—will offer the best experience.
And, with our brand new Maui snorkeling tour offering, Discover West Maui Snorkel, that’s exactly what we do each day: Set out to find the best conditions.

Trilogy crew member, Captain Mario, couldn’t believe his eyes:
Here on an island where there aren’t any any people, an entire stretch of golden sand was buried under mountains of plastic.
Laundry baskets, fishing floats, colorful tangles of nets; just thousands of pieces of evidence of man—yet there weren’t any humans to be found.
He, along with Trilogy crew members Gabe and Aaron, joined a team of volunteers from Malama Maui Nui and Kaho’olawe Island Reserve Commission (KIRC) for a four day, three night trip to Kaho‘olawe—the island off Maui’s southwestern coast that’s famously covered in bombs.

When Trilogy Excursions first set sail back in 1973, it was all about showing our guests a good time—and part of that is eating good food!
Trilogy’s founder, Captain Eldon Coon, would cook up chicken over a kiawe wood grill while barbecuing at the beach on Lanai, and many of our Maui snorkeling tours still feature original Coon family recipes we’ve been serving for half a century!
