Crew was very helpful and made sure all were getting their best experience. Having the photographer so that could keep my phone up was an extra plus.
Our family of 6 including grandparents and teens had a fabulous day snorkeling in Molokini and TurtleTown. Even though the day started out overcast and windy the staff on Manolo was wonderful! Erika and John were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! Martha took incredible photos of all of us both above and underwater! They beautifully captured our family’s amazing day and we will cherish the memories! The continental breakfast and the lunch were delicious! Thanks to Martha, this years’ holiday cards will be outstanding!
Amazing!!!! Super family/beginner snorkeling-friendly tour. The crater is a unique experience. Fish swim just beyond arms reach and are everywhere to be found. The crew is very engaging and helped my daughter feel safe to snorkel in the ocean. They even make sure to pick spots with the least wind and waves for the best experience. I have snorkeled in my younger years and now as I am Middle-aged. I had all of the support to enjoy this experience. Dani, Greg, and Paul were some of our favorites. But, truly, every member of the crew gets 5 stars regarding their personality as far as I’m concerned.
Highlight of our vacation! We had a group ranging from 9years old to 69 years old and everyone had a great time. Our Captain was the best! Super knowledgeable and kind! Highly recommend!! The food was really great as well.
So happy to hear your Molokini snorkel tour aboard Malolo was a hit! We love sharing those crystal-clear waters with our guests.
This is a must do when visiting Maui
Thank you for joining us on the Molokini snorkel tour aboard Malolo! We're so glad it was a memorable part of your trip.
This tour was amazing, the crew were very friendly and warm, the food catered for breakfast and lunch and was fresh and delicious. We saw so many fish and, the turtles, wow the turtles! This was the best part! A truly special and once in a lifetime experience. I encourage everyone to do this! Whilst it is not guaranteed to see turtles there seems to be a very good chance you will and if you do, like we did today, it is truly magical.
We’re thrilled you enjoyed your Molokini snorkel tour aboard Malolo — it’s one of our favorite ways to experience Maui’s underwater beauty! Hope to see you again soon.
Beautiful setting, great weather and highly trained team. All the team members were fully lifeguard trained and two had EMT training, all sites had guards watching from the boat and from the water on surfboards.
This tour is the best family vacation activity on Maui. Thank you for the rave review! Aloha
Easy check in, great staff, great locations. This was well worth the money and one of our favorite tours.
We are stoked to hear you enjoyed the Molokini snorkel tour aboard Malolo! Mahalo and see you soon!
******Stay away ***** This tour company ruined our family vacation & Fathers day ! Realized after the fact that there are many other reputable tours companies runs for Molokini Crater Snorkeling, for little cheaper pricing, DO NOT go with this company, we did and regretted!!!! There is no customer service, no emotions, no human touch - booked through Viator, 3rd party, must mention, they failed to resolve our issue and been very unhelpful. Have booked many excursions with Viator worldwide, never such a bad experience! We booked via Viator, lot of confusion on departure & check in timing -our family , who has very exited teen whose main purpose of visiting Maui was Snorkeling near Crater,on our scheduled day, tour left the harbor without us, which is mainly because very unhelpful tour representative at the Boss frogs shop, who apparently appeared to be covering an expericed employee, who was off that day due to fathers day !! We got there at the meeting point, Boss frogs shop, at 623AM, ( acknowledged we were late) the tour representative present at that time, calls himself " Noodle" ( when asking his name ) an arrogant and rude gentleman, wasted more than 12 minutes or so asking irrevelant questions, such as proving him the name of the boat, which information was non existent on our Viator booking. It was more of a feeling that he had no intentions of helping us, and by the time he figured which boat we were to take ( which was a clear example of his laziness and inability to do his job )it was 632 AM and then he said " Boat left", and it did cost us that disappointment, parking fees, and ruined early mornin and the rest of our day. Then he continued to be rude and arrogant, giving incorrect information to Viator, on call with Tess at reservations at Malolo & Viator, and wasted 2 hours of our vacation and Fathers day, and we have been given option to rebook with additional $$$ , which we didn't have choice but to accept. On our rescheduled day, tour itself was very basic. Captain didn't ever talked or kept us engaged , didn't feel engaged, John and Irene were helpful and must say contributed significantly towards having a hood Snorkeling experience. 10/10 to both of them. However tour was lacking energy, no entertainment while sailing, food no where nearer to what's advertised on their website, must say Snorkeling was excellent. We have done many Snorkeling tours in Carriebean and worldwide, and we Cleary could see this your was not worth the money, would advise pay little more and ho with other companies out there, staff, vessel, employee attitude, food, entertainment etc definitely not worth it. Boat appeared to be very basic and aged, single level ( at crater , noted many other tour companies had modern, newer boats with built in viewing decks) very crowded (66 people on board)and minimal facilities. Hope management review this and take actions as required for staff training and much more, so others won't go through what we did. Mahalo
Aloha, we are aware of your situation and we are certainly sorry you missed the tour. However, check in time is 6:00am which provides a 1/2 hour period for people to be present and checked in. The boat leaves at 6:30am and cannot return to the dock once it has left. We did not sell your seats. While the cancelation period is 24 hours, we offered your party a future booking (including for the next day) for a nominal staff rebooking fee, which means the company was willing to forego the cost of your 5 seats. We have been in business for 40 years and believe our practices are accommodating and fair. Mahalo for your review.
