Where to Park & Check In for Trilogy's Kā‘anapali Beach Tours: A Step-by-Step Guide
Your Maui ocean adventure is just around the corner! But before you step aboard one of Trilogy's sailing catamarans, there's one important stop to make: finding our Kā‘anapali Beach check-in location.
Unlike tours departing from a traditional harbor, Trilogy's Kā‘anapali Beach departures begin right along the beautiful shores of West Maui. While boarding directly from the beach is part of what makes this experience so special, finding the right place to park and check in can be a little tricky if you're visiting for the first time.
That's why we've put together this step-by-step guide to make your arrival as easy as possible! Whether you're driving to the Sheraton Maui and parking in the garage or enjoying a scenic walk along the beachfront path from a nearby resort, we'll show you exactly where to go, what landmarks to look for, how parking validation works, and what to expect when it's time to board.
One important thing to know before you arrive: Trilogy's Kā‘anapali Beach check-in is located on the paved beachfront walkway in front of the Sheraton Maui, not directly on the sand. Look for the Sheraton sign near the beach lawn, where our crew will be waiting to welcome you.
We recommend arriving 30 minutes before your scheduled departure, giving you plenty of time to check in and get ready for your adventure.
Now, let's get you to the right place so you can spend less time searching and more time enjoying Maui's beautiful coastline!

Step-by-Step: From the Sheraton Parking Garage to Trilogy Check-In
Step 1: Follow the Beach Access Signs
After exiting the Sheraton parking garage, walk toward the hotel and look for the directional signs pointing toward "Beach Access." These signs will guide you toward the ocean and the resort's beachfront area.
Step 2: Follow the Sidewalk Toward the Ocean
Continue along the paved outdoor walkway, following the beach access signs. You'll pass through the Sheraton's landscaped grounds, with tropical greenery lining the path.
Stay on the sidewalk as you make your way toward the beachfront lawn.
Step 3: Continue Until You Reach the Beachfront
As you get closer to the ocean, you'll begin to see palm trees, the beach, and the water ahead. Continue following the paved walkway toward the beachfront.
Step 4: Look for the Large Tree Near the Beach
When you reach the beachfront walkway, you'll see a large tree near the shoreline, surrounded by a low white wall. You're almost there!
This is the area where Trilogy guests gather before their sail.
Step 5: Find the Sheraton Sign & Trilogy Crew
Look for the Sheraton Maui sign near the large tree along the paved walkway. This is Trilogy's designated Kā‘anapali Beach check-in location!
Our crew will be waiting in this area to welcome guests and get everyone checked in. You may also see a Trilogy check-in sign, although it isn't always present.
Important: Do not head directly onto the sand to check in! Our check-in location is on the paved walkway beside the Sheraton's beachfront lawn, not down on the beach itself.
Plan Ahead: The walk from the Sheraton parking garage to Trilogy check-in takes approximately five minutes. Please arrive at the check-in location 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time.
