We love the Malolo! It is large enough to move around but small enough to have a more fun and personal experience. We always try to book at least one trip on this particular boat each time we visit Maui. The crew is always super nice and friendly and they make excellent mai tais too! We saw some great whale action on the way back to the harbor and Captain Steve let us watch them for a little while. It was amazing! The crew, Boz and Ashley were really fun and nice and we got some amazing pictures of our snorkeling from Cailin. We didn't bring underwater cameras, but her pictures were so good, we just got to enjoy our time in the water even more.

Molokini Crater is a great snorkling spot. Do it! Fun time. Calm waters. Worth the trip out to the crater.

Whether you go to Molakini or the Coral Gardens you will be well taken care of in captain Carlos’ and crews capable hands. It was not only fun, but he kept us out longer because of the whale sightings. So fun!

This was seriously the highlight of our trip. We had an exceptional time and were able to snorkel at Molokini crater with our 5 & 8 y/o and grandma. Everyone loved it. And we saw jumping whales about 50’ from the boat on the way back! Seriously awesome.

Best Crew, best captain. The best experience! We even saw whales. I’d recommend doing this in march. Seems like the best time of year.

Of all the excursions I have taken, this, by far, was the best. The crew was kind and efficient, the “boss” was informative regarding marine life and Molokini itself, the equipment was excellent and the snorkeling instructions were clear. Even the hot dogs were great. Highly, highly recommend. We even stopped to watch a whale and her baby. Amazing❣️

We had an awesome day on the boat, snorkeling and enjoying the beautiful trip to Molokini. The staff was wonderful and kind (Nick, Christian and Maca) and Captain Kiwi was funny, knowledgeable and made the trip so worth while. I would highly recommend booking a day adventure with them, and it seems that everyone on the boat was having a wonderful time. It was our one big excursion on our trip to Maui and I’m glad we did it. Cheers and Mahalo to them!
