Molokini is an extinct volcanic cone and the snorkeling visibility is usually 100 feet or more! Many different species of marine life live within Molokini. Green sea turtles, fish, urchins, harmless sharks, manta rays and coral surrounded by crystal clear water all year around make Molokini a must do on your vacation activity list.

4.00Remember that the amount of wildlife is not guaranteed. (We see way more turtles in front of our condo than we saw at turtle town.) Still the opportunity to be inside the crater of Molokini was cool. Also, even though I did not personally snorkle, I was impressed by the off and on loading methodology of the ship. There was a great deal of opportunity for people of differing ability to feel safe and unconfined. For example, I would have used the stairs to make my way in and out whereas my niece was perfectly comfortable jumping off the side. Another example, flotation devices and wetsuits were available but not required to snorkle. The food was good and of high quality.
Great trip!

5.00It was great. This is our 2nd time doing this excursion. The crew was friendly and efficient. Joe is very charismatic. It runs like a well oiled machine. We saw lots of fish, turtles and jellyfish. Will do this excursion again on the Malolo.
Ship photographer ruined my best turtle shot

4.00Fun snorkeling trip. About 75 minute boat ride out with plenty of instruction from the crew. Water at the crater was very blue and clear. Lots of fish. Then 30 minute ride to see some turtles. I had a great video going and the ship photographer zoomed up with his huge camera with lights and scared the turtle away.
