While staying as guests of the Lanai Four Seasons at Manele Bay, last week we were supposed to go out in the Trilogy catamaran for a snorkel sail adventure. Well, instead, this HUGE southern swell came in and literally closed out the harbor exit at Manele Bay! From our Four Seasons rooms, we could also see the surfers pile into Manele Bay for waves that are seldom seen in this normally calm bay. 

Our captain, Ricky, managed to at least get us out on a sailing adventure around half the island of Lanai, passing by Sweetheart Island, Manele Bay, the Lanai Four Seasons at Manele Bay, the wedding location for Bill Gates, and more. 

The video doesn't do justice to these Hawaiian waves at Lanai. Some were as tall as the mast on our catamaran! We did get the chance to jump in the water at Shark Fin Bay, but it was way too murky to see anything. Plus, murky water is home to SHARKS! One of the guests on another Trilogy vessel that comes to Lana'i from Maui say two Tiger sharks and got pictures!!! Super cool, but I don't want to be "that guy."

After about an hour snorkel sail with Trilogy, we went back to the Lana'i Four Seasons and Manele Bay for a bento box lunch and some time at the beach. I filmed some of the locals out catching these unique waves in Manele Bay. The shore break was absolutely amazing! 

Finally, we caught the ferry back to Maui for a nice evening at dinner and then on to our next resort, The Fairmont Kea Lani in Wailea.




About Lanai:
You won't find a single traffic light here and that's exactly how the people of Lanai like it. Only nine miles from Maui yet a world away, Lanai can feel like two places. The first is found in luxurious resorts where visitors can indulge in world-class amenities and championship-level golf at The Challenge at Manele and The Experience at Koele. The other is found bouncing along the island's rugged back-roads in a 4-wheel drive exploring off the beaten path treasures like Keahiakawelo (Garden of the Gods) and Polihua Beach. In fact, only 30 miles of Lanai's roads are paved.

The smallest inhabited island in Hawaii, Lanai offers big enticements to its visitors. From the stunning views atop the pine-lined Munro Trail to watching the acrobatic spinner dolphins from romantic Hulopoe Bay, Lanai is a special place where you're sure to find serenity, adventure and intimacy. If you want to get away from it all, get away to Lanai.

About Trilogy Sports:
When you arrive at Manele Bay Small Boat Harbor, you will welcomed aboard one of our state of the art sailing catamarans by one of our highly trained captains. As we travel to our snorkel spot you will get a magnificent view of your hotel as we pass Hulapoe Bay. You also have a good chance of sighting the Hawaiian spinner dolphins that make their year round home on Lana`i. For a better chance of seeing the dolphins sign up for our Marine Mammal Search on our high speed ocean raft. We typically snorkel at a wonderful cove on the south west corner of Lana'i. The western shore typically has crystal clear water with visibility easily getting over 100feet. Because we are tucked into a protected cove the water is naturally flat calm creating perfect snorkeling conditions. The underwater scenery is only surpassed by the incredible seascape with the 1000 foot sea cliffs surrounding you. After a deli style lunch we will start looking for some wind for a nice relaxing sail back to the harbor.
