We took a side trip from Lahaina Harbor on board the Trilogy catamarans to the Island of Lanai.  The boat leaves around 9AM from the docks at Lahaina and returns to Lahaina harbor about 6-7 PM.  It's a very full day and the crew of these catamarans really knows how to treat the visitors.  They're very patient with the elderly and children and very informative regarding the islands and wildlife.  It's NOT a standard tourist trap operated by people who are so bored with telling the same old story to ignorant tourists.  These folks are REALLY good, and enthusiastic.  If you run across whales or dolphins during the 90 minute crossing, they will take the time to slow down and let you see them as up close as the law will allow their boats to approach.  If the wildlife decides to initiate a closer contact, then you can consider yourself very lucky as this does often happen.  Great work by Trilogy Charters!
