My wife and I recently returned from a trip home from Maui where we failed to book a snorkeling trip in advance. Luckily, we were able to schedule a trip on the Malolo to Molokini and Turtle Town after seeing the raving reviews on TripAdvisor. The reviews were accurate.
The boat is great because it is not overcrowded with 100+ people, making it more intimate. The food was good and there is good beer for purchase for the trip home, which was refreshing. The staff could not have been better, with a lot of knowledge and willing to politely answer any question that would arise. In fact, one of the crew members dove 35+ feet down to recover a GoPro someone had dropped, truly going above and beyond.
Seeing the turtles swimming around at Turtle Town is something I will never forget. Molokini was cool, but the turtles made the trip for my wife and I. I will recommend the Malolo to anyone I know who is planning a trip to Maui, it was a tremendous experience.
Thanks again to the Captain and crew.
