Malolo is a MUST!!

5.00You can’t come to Maui without spending a day on the Malolo! Our crew, Capt. Kiwi, Sebastian and Eddie were not only skilled and professional, they were wonderful hosts that made sure you had everything you needed for an amazing adventure. We traveled with a big family of 5 adults and 6 kids all under 12. We felt completely cared for and safe as we experienced snorkeling for the first time. We will definitely be back and we will never sail with anyone other than the Malolo crew!!
The staff was very nice...

5.00The staff was very nice and gave us clear instructions. There was ample equipment available. We loved having the photographer on the boat and the underwater photos that she took were so fun. The only thing that I would change is that there were probably too many reservations accepted and it was tough to have a comfortable spot to sit on the boat -- since it's 1.5 hr ride it would be more comfortable with about 5 less people.
Wonderful Morning!

5.00This was a great morning with two stops. Luckily, the weather was nice and cooperated. Breakfast and lunch were simple and fresh. The boat attendants Seabass and Eddie were kind, clear and humorous. Everything felt safe and fun was had by all of my crew! (Kids aged 8 and 11 enjoyed so much!)

5.00Safety was the priority for the Captain and Crew. They were very professional and showed great respect for the environment and sea life. We had a nice breakfast on the way to Molokini and a great lunch with sandwiches, potato salad and chips for lunch. The snorkeling at Molokini was nice, saw multiple fish species and we swam with sea turtles at the second stop near Makena Beach. Great experience!
A fun day, snorkeling

5.00It was a fun experience. I appreciated the professional Photographer. I felt the safety of the guest was top priority for the crew at all times. It was a fun day, not everybody snorkel some just enjoyed being there with their family and friends. Some people snorkel that could not swim. I witnessed the crew helping them with flotation devices to make them feel safe. It was a nice way to spend a day on Maui. The food was good, drinks were available.
Terrible Experience

1.00Terrible experience. Booked the trip months ahead, travelled to the meetup location, were issued boarding passes and queued for more than 1 hour to board the boat, but was told in the end the boat was full and overbooked. Was just given a number to call to claim for refund. A total waste of time.
Amazing experience

5.00Definitely worth the time and money the crew was great very attentive and involved in the whole tour. Saw literally everything it says fish turtle eel shark yoy name it it was beautiful! Would definitely go again if we are ever in Maui again! Unfortunately the only downfall for me was I couldn't eat anything even though letting them know ahead of time all the food was touching so had cross contamination so I did not risk it but everyone else seemed to enjoy it! Thanks again tour guides captain crew and photographer!
