We chose the afternoon snorkeling tour. Due to high wind conditions, we couldn't go to the Molokini Crater as originally scheduled. Instead, the captain drove to a calmer location along the North Shore an extra 15 minutes away. While I'm sure the snorkeling we experience wasn't as great as it would have been at the Molokini Crater, it was still fun enough. We got just over an hour of actual snorkeling time, with the rest transit to and from the site. We saw a few tropical fish, a baby octopus and one sea turtle. The crew was friendly and very informative on safety procedures, equipment use, etc. All snorkeling gear is provided (masks and fins). Pool noodles are also made available for those who want help simply floating on the top. You can bring your own snorkeling gear if you wish; we saw several do so. After snorkeling is over all passengers are offered 2 hot dogs, chips and pop during the ride back to dock at no charge. Condiments went too quickly, many were left without. Cocktails were available for purchase too. Last, as passengers were getting off the boat, the crew handed out chocolate chip cookies. My advice? Skip the hot dogs!! While a nice gesture, you will pay for it later. Our party of five all had the 'hot dog burps' the rest of the evening. Wait until departure and hit a local restaurant for a better meal.

The crew of the Mahlolo were great and very helpful. JJ was really outstanding, in contrast to Cpt. Carolos whom was not. I asked him for another fin that might be a bit wider and he says there's only one size.. Which I understood, however one was all stretched out & one was newer, that hurt my foot. JJ was quick to respond and searched for another fin. If he hadn't I wouldn't have been able to swim. The boat seemed a bit over crowded to me. I had to sit in the sun and my daughter had stand with her infant son because of no seats. Coral garden wasn't nearly as colorful as the preview pictures showed, but it was a nice reef. We did have a good trip, I just expected me coral and fish.

Beautiful trip to Molokini for a snorkelling afternoon! Everything was perfect: the crew, the boat, the equipment, and the Mai Tais! Safety was a priority. Amazing clear view, excellent snorkelling equipment, nice ambiance. Best way to spend 3 hours in Maui! I would highly recommend this activity!

One of the best and most convenient vacation experiences I’ve ever had. The crew were efficient, safe, friendly, generous, and super helpful to the first-timers. Snorkeling gear and several types of flotation devices were included, and wetsuits were available for rent. Please remember to tip the crew because they deserve it and they do everything to earn it.

Great trip afternoon snorkeling to Molokini Amazing clear view, excellent snorkeling equipment I would highly recommend this trip

The crew did a wonderful job trying to get us near whales. They did explain the whales are headed back north so there are fewer in the water at this time. Even still we were able to catch a glimpse of a mama and baby whale. The crew was very kind, super helpful. I would definitely recommend this crew!

Great cruise boat to see the whales. It was so late in season we didn’t think we’d see any but we saw so many diving in and out the water. Spectacular to see. Carlos, JJ, and Boz we’re all a great crew.

Was an awesome whale watching cruise! It was really interesting hearing all the information about the whales. We got to hear the whales sing live with an underwater microphone, which was really cool! We were even lucky enough to see a mama whale breach a couple of times, followed by the baby breaching several times. The crew was really informative, had great customer service and seemed to genuinely love their jobs. Our teens enjoyed it. The price was great. Overall a wonderful experience that I would recommend to others!

What started out as a pretty slow day for whale watching ended in a Maui Mugging with a pair of whales breaching 50 feet of the stern! Insane. They hung out with us so long we were late getting back. The boat, crew and captain were top notch. One of the cleanest boats I have ever sailed on. No diesel fumes!

We went on Whale watching, no disappointment, seen quite a few, mama, her baby and what they call the male escort, very informative!!

Captain took us right to the whales! We were surrounded by a group of males competing for a female. They were breaching and fin splashing and passed right in front of the boat. Awesome trip!

It was really great! Absolutely worth it, we saw a bunch of whales during the cruise. Thanks JJ for the interesting details about the life of humpback whales.

The boat ride was great fun, The captain and crew were very professional and entertaining. It was a windy day and a bit choppy but they handled it very well and everyone had a great time . LOTS of whales. We will do the snorkeling trip next time.

We booked a trip on the Malolo but actually rode with the Calypso. Not sure why we got switched. We overheard others in line talking about the same thing. The Malolo is supposed to be a smaller, more intimate boat. The Calypso was more like a cheap cruise ship. My guess is they didn't book enough so they crammed us all on the single big boat. Also, the instructions told us to arrive at 6am but when we arrived, there was no one from the company at the meeting spot. A few others were there at 6am but we just stood around in the dark for about an hour. Found out that most received a message the night before to arrive one hour later but we never received that message. When we finally boarded the ship it was almost 2 hours after we arrived. Not a great way to start the trip with two small kids. I would not recommend this tour group. Unprofessional and bad communication.

We were booked to do an afternoon snorkel on the malolo today at 1 pm. We arrived 30 minutes as requested along with a number of other people. An hour later we were told the trip was cancelled and that in fact the malolo was actually dry-docked. Apparently management had screwed up. So now with only one day left before we leave Maui, we are unable to take a snorkeling trip. Very frustrating. I really don’t understand how a company can advertise for an afternoon snorkel tour when the boat you’re supposed to do it on is dry-docked?!
