Talkin' Hawaii

[Diskidatheart]

The whales seem to have been arriving earlier (as they've already been spotted this year) and leaving later. Prime season IS between December and mid-April, but there is always a chance of seeing them at different times. Maui is the best place to see them from as the channel that goes past Maui is their normal route, but you can see them from all the islands. If you are going in mid-May, you will still have a shot at seeing them. Another great company to tour with in Maui is Trilogy. They were fantastic on our snorkel trip a few years back. We're heading to Maui in late May...I don't have much hope in seeing a whale, but it would make my trip if I did.

We did the Trilogy snorkle trip to Molakini and we also had an unbelievable time. Crew was GREAT and the sail was perfect. Snorkled in the Carribean and not many can compare to Trilogy.....Thanks Diskidatheart for bring back a great memory...

Our family also did the Trilogy snorkeling cruise to Lanai'i. It was fabulous. A highlight if not THE highlight of our Maui trip. Also loved Road to Hana, Haleakala, and the Old Lahaina Luau. Don't miss Mama's Fish House for dinner and the Paia Fish Market for lunch! Ahhhh...take me back. BTW, we stayed in Kaanapali at the Kaanapali Ali'i. Lovely, lovely.

Thanks! I arrive on May 13. I'm going to check around & see if any of the companies still do whale watches at that point. I did sail with Trilogy 10 years ago, so I will definitely check with them again! I remember the cinnamon rolls!!!

I do remember enjoying the trip with Trilogy, even though it turned out to be a bad day for snorkeling (the water was cloudy). I'm definitely going to check them out again, thanks!

I was checking out some of those trips to Lanai. That wasn't really an option when I was there 10 years ago. Sounds very cool. And I also remember Mama's Fish House and the amazing view!!!! I'll check out the Paia Fish Market, too. Thanks! (I'm staying in Kihei. Renting friends' timeshare. Same place I stayed last time. The location was great then, hope it still is! I imagine Maui's changed a bit in 10 years!

Welcome back knewton! I hope you left some fun and sun in Maui for when I get there in May! Glad you had a good time. What was your most memorable tour/sight/excursion that you did? I'm sure there were so many to choose from.

From the sounds of the rolling ocean to the sights of the bikinis, my stay in the island of Maui was just pure Heaven.



Even had fun taking the helm of the Trilogy II catamaran for a few miles in 28 knot winds.
(**IMO, the #1 excursion**)


Follwed by a close 2nd, "Maui Downhill" sunrise.
