Great day at sea

The coral was awesome to see. The crew were friendly. Many different fish. Just the right amount of time. The weather was a little windy. We were disappointed that we were not able to go to the crater

The crew was fun and definitely made us feel safe. If you are looking for a laid back relaxing snorkel trip this is definitely the one for you. Having a boiled hot dog lunch is perfectly okay just maybe a little better quality hot dog would be nice. But the cocktails were amazing!

Scam.
Fernando_G

The crew are great and helpful congratulations to the new captain. But the promotion of snorkeling to Molokini is misleading and should not be part of the promotion for the specific tour. Consumers are lead to believe for a cheap price, compare to the competition, is a great deal but sad when people get short changed and is not fair to consumers and should be refunded of their money.

Aloha, Thank you for reaching out. The afternoon snorkel aboard Malolo either goes to Molokini or Coral Gardens and is advertised as such. Weather conditions determine the best snorkeling location based on water clarity, passenger safety and comfort. We are sorry that this was not appropriately communicated to your group.

The snorkeling was good and the crew was friendly, but the never explained why we weren’t going to the Molikini crater, as that is what I signed up for. In addition, they spoke so fast that it was difficult comprehending all the information

crew was second to none! super friendly and professional, we felt safe at all times. couldn’t make it to the crater due to wind but Cptn found a great place to snorkel. lunch was a bit underwhelming, but i imagine anything more involved than a hotdog would be tough on a boat. all in all a nice afternoon

Bait and Switch
Gus

Bait and switch. Don’t take this tour if you want to go to the crater. I was so disappointed! Staff is aware of “once in a blue moon you can go to Molokini crater in the afternoon” and therefore the description is very deceptive. Not recommended.

Thank you for taking the time to send in your feedback about your cruise. Providing fun, safe boating adventures is our highest priority, and we are very sorry to hear that your experience was anything less than wonderful. The snorkeling location is always based on current weather conditions so it sounds like those conditions may have made the trip to Molokini uncomfortable and the water clarity less than perfect for snorkeling.

Waste of money

They advertise Molokini then tell you its only for the morning tour. Then you go next to the highway and snorkel. Total waste of money. You can find better snorkeling on your own
