Fun trip despite not getting to the crater
Omar_E
, Jun 2021
It was very nice boat ride and the guides Seth and JJ were great. Unfortunately we didn’t get to go to the crater but still got to go to a great snorkeling area. The hotdogs served aboard are not all beef, for those who don’t pork, but still had a nice selection of complementary chips and soda.

It was ok
Jennifer_Z

It was ok. The instructions on where to go were not great. There are so many locations for the store the mention, an address would be helpful. The snorkeling was just ok, I've definitely had better. Not a ton of fish but maybe it was the time of day.

Decent but I’ve been to better
JoMama
, Jun 2021
The crew was great. The site they took us to though was just so/so. I’ve snorkeled better locations at hotels before. Also for the kids I think they need to upgrade their equipment to have the filters so water doesn’t come inside the snorkel. My son had to wear an adult mask that didn’t fit his face because they didn’t have good equipment for kids.

Snorkeling Fun With Malolo
Sophie_L
, Jun 2021
Super fun day! Saw many colorful fish. On our way back the staff caught a huge beautiful Ono fish. They are professional and super friendly. The staff provided us with all the snorkeling equipments. They have foam noodles that help support you during snorkeling if wanted. Staff was out there with everone to ensure safety. Taught us signs for help when we are out there. Highly recommend.

Expensive boat ride. No molikini crater, no turtles.
John_Y
, Jun 2021
So the crew was great. However my wife and I were very disappointed that we did not go to molokini crater. I knew this was an option but all we really saw was coral. The fish were a disappointment and there were no turtles. Unfortunately I was here with a conference and could not go in the morning when the water is calmer. Next time will take a tour that guarantees molikinini crater. We could have driven to the snorkeling site they took us. So all we got for our money was an expensive boat ride. I had a good review but this app required more words, so I had to be honest. Next time settle for the short version.
