Summer is here and things are slowly re-opening on Maui, which means many of us are craving a refreshing summer cocktail (or mocktail!) to help keep cool this summer. Which is why we’re excited to share our straight from the boat Trilogy signature cocktails with you!
Read MoreOn Sunday January 19th, a group of 60 volunteers from the local Maui community set out to clean Maui’s reefs on Trilogy’s second Blue’Aina trip of 2020, sponsored by Kapalua Ziplines . After weeks of winter rain and windy weather on Maui, we were more than overjoyed for blue skies and calm seas. We set out to Mala Wharf for the day, barely leaving Lahaina Harbor before a mom and calf humpback whale surfaced!
Read MoreOn January 5th, 50 volunteers joined Trilogy’s first Blue’Aina trip of the new decade. This first trip of 2020 coincided with the beginning of humpback whale season on Maui and Trilogy decided to make this Blue’Aina trip an educational whale watch. The charismatic and very knowledgable, Flip Nicklin, co-founder of Whale Trust was on board to share humpback whale facts and insights with our volunteers.

Read MoreWhen asked to describe my last 34 days at sea, I find it extremely difficult to put it into words. What an epic adventure and journey we had. The challenges encountered at sea made us stronger, wiser, and better mariners. The true beauty of the ocean and our planet filled our souls with joy, and the ocean humbled us with its power, force, unpredictability, and vastness. To describe the sea in one word: enchanting.
Read MoreWe are proud to have Trilogy’s Blue’Aina trips act as a floating classroom, providing the 60 volunteers with real-time citizen science projects and environmental discussion. On this Blue’Aina we focused on coral reef health. While in the water looking for marine debris I took notice of the health of the coral reef.

Read MoreSomeone recently asked me, “Did you find paradise in Fiji?” I feel paradise is a state of being not a place. It looks different to every person. Traveling around Fiji afforded me the opportunity to surrounded myself with like-minded individuals working towards a sustainable future. I saw beautiful places and met some of the nicest strangers. This to me, is paradise.
Read MoreI’ve learned while traveling as a Protector of Paradise that keeping the environment healthy is a communal effort, spanning all spectrums of industry, community, and business. No effort is too small. Keep striving to do better and share your environmental story with others so they too can help make a change!
Read MoreA destination wedding is often a once in a lifetime opportunity to gather family and friends from all walks of your life in a beautiful place. Instead of just one special day, you’re gifted with several days- maybe even an entire week- of wedding celebration combined with a group vacation. Sounds like a dream, right?
Read MoreI want to say a big thank you to the Trilogy Ohana for the opportunity and for the wonderful welcome they gave us as we pulled into Lahaina harbor. We were welcomed with handmade lei Po’o, doused with champagne and treated to a welcome that far exceeded our expectations. It was a truly special moment.
Read MoreTo me, being a protector of paradise holds great meaning. It means I must do as much as I can to help make our environment more sustainable. I must go beyond my local community and visit others to see how they are living, share stories and knowledge, and work together towards a common goal.
Read MoreLiving plastic-free isn’t easy. If you’ve ever tried living a single-use plastic- free life, you probably started out confident, but then quickly realized that it was actually very difficult. It’s a great reminder of the amount of plastic waste we have in our lives.
Read MoreWhat we’ve found is people/students are eager to help but they just don’t know where to start. It was fun to introduce them to like-minded community groups and give them tangible ways to start practicing sustainability in their day-to-day.
