I'n going to review two separate things - the tour with the Mololo crew and snorkeling at Molokini in general. As far as Mololo goes, i have no complaints. This tour was much cheaper than the ones offered by other companies, and i didn't feel like we had to compromise anything in return for the lower price. The boat is not very large and it was choke full of people, but i think such is the experience on other snorkeling tours as well. Other than that, everything was fine: the crew was courteous, the equipment and the food adequate, and the tour delivered what it promised - snorkeling at Molokini and seeing a colony of sea turtles (plus some whale sightings as a bonus, but that was just a fluke). Now, with regard to snorkeling at Molokini in general, i don't see what the fuss is about. We arrived to the crater early in the morning, the weather was fine, we docked close to the side of the crater, which is where the guidebooks say the snorkeling is particularly good, and yet we hardly saw any marine fauna at all. I don't think this was a fault of the Mololo crew, rather it seems that there's just not that many living creatures at the Molokini. We've seen much richer ecosystems when snorkeling close to the Maui shore, in places such as Po'olenalena or Black Rock. So, on the whole - Mololo delivers its promise, but don't expect too much of Molokini (or maybe we were just spectacularly unlucky).

Molokini crater is home to approximately 250 to 260 marine species. Most commonly observed among these are the black triggerfish, yellow tang, Moorish idol, parrotfish, raccoon butterflyfish and bluefin trevally. Due to constant exposure to park visitors and the long history as a conservation district, the fish of Molokini are extremely comfortable with the presence of nearby divers. Small whitetip reef sharks and moray eels are occasionally seen in the crater. In addition, Red pencil urchins can be seen quite frequently. The waters of Molokini contain 38 hard coral species and approximately

We went out on the Molokini and Turtle town snorkelling tour. We had great weather and the water was super warm. We saw so many whales on the way out and back, swimming in the crater was cool and swimming with the turtles was the most amazing experience ever! The staff were super helpful and friendly. They gave great information about the islands, crater and sea life. Breakfast was ok and lunch was great. Highly recommend this company and tour!

Make sure to dress warm for the boat ride in the morning. It’s chilly before the sun comes out! The crew is super nice and attentive.
