Maui Afternoon Snorkel Aboard Malalo

5.00Super friendly crew, and very helpful when needed. The boat ride was actually my favorite part - just being out on the water and cruising along the coast. The snorkeling was good, they provided good, newer gear, we saw a variety of fish, and the crew was attentive to our safety. The variety and amount of lunch food was nice, and the well-made, spirited drinks were sold at the awesome price of $3!

5.00This is a large group tour (~30 people on a medium sized boat). We did an afternoon tour and were taken Coral Gardens (due to windy conditions at Molokini that resulted in rough waters). Staff was friendly, patient in answering my child’s multiple questions). Safety tips were appreciated and felt they kept myself and 2 children safe at all times. Appreciated access to float vests, belts and pool noodles when snorkeling. We had over an hour to snorkel and this was more than enough as beginner snorkelers. Food is served on the way back- there were deli sandwiches, hot dogs, chips and cookies and endless soda and water. If you want vegetarian you HAVE to call when you book to request. They had hummus and veggies for those individuals. I would do this tour again- it was well executed and we all had a great time. Pictures were taken but we didn’t purchase- I thought they were costly.
Such a fun experience!...

5.00Such a fun experience! The Captain and Crew were absolutely wonderful! I loved the fact that there was an underwater photographer who was taking pictures the whole time and that we could purchase the pictures when the trip was complete. Such fun memories!

5.00The boat is nice and stable for an enjoyable ride out to Molokini and back. The crew is terrific and each of them work hard to make your experience a good one. We had a great snorkel and were lucky enough to have Monk seal join us for some entertainment value.
This trip is Okay

3.00We went to the crater to snorkel. There were a lot of fish and they had a lot of supplies on boat for any level of swimmer, even toddlers. The water was a bit chilly in January so my youngest only stayed out for about 10 mins. They offered a hot dog and chips for a snack. They did have alcoholic beverages for $3 (well they tell you $3 and then charge $5 to your card) the boat was decently kept. It was semi clean. The staff are absolutely excellent, very kind and knowledgeable. The issues I had were 1) they jam packed the boat so full that every seat was taken. If you chose a seat up on the front of the boat and then got cold you couldn't move out of the wind, you just have to wait it out and hope the sun will warm you up. For spending $310 for my family of 4 I would expect to be comfortable. 2) their drink station had such a long line that we spent most of the time standing and waiting in the line to get a complimentary soda, we ran out of time before I was able to get all our drinks so 2 of us went without. 3) they charged my card $3.12 for the one "$3" alcoholic beverage but later changed the amount to $5.12 and that seems shady of them to do. 4) once you board the boat the pass out the snorkels and flippers and you are stuck holding those the entire trip out to the snorkeling spot which is a hassle when you have younger children and are also fighting the wind. Overall it was okay, I have been on many snorkeling trips that far outweighed the satisfaction of this particular trip.
Beautiful day for snorkeling.
