Meeting details
Boss Frog's Dive and Surf, Ma'alaea Harbor, 300 Ma'alaea Road, Building 2, Shop #2N, Wailuku, HI 96793. A Malolo crew member will be at a table outside the store for check-in.
Molokini Crater sits 3 miles off Maui's south coast, a crescent-shaped volcanic remnant rising from the channel between Maui and the island of Kahoolawe. Formed roughly 230,000 years ago, the crater's submerged caldera has been a protected marine sanctuary for decades, allowing its reef ecosystem to develop with minimal human disturbance. The result is one of the clearest and most biodiverse snorkeling environments in Hawaii, with more than 250 fish species, 38 coral species, and underwater visibility that regularly exceeds 100 feet.
This afternoon snorkel tour aboard the Malolo is one of the few options on Maui that runs in the afternoon, making it a smart choice for visitors who want to keep their mornings free for hiking, beach time, or simply sleeping in. The 55-foot catamaran is designed for stability and comfort, with wide stairways that make getting in and out of the water easy, spacious trampolines for sunbathing on the ride out, and a freshwater shower for rinsing off after your swim. The crew handles everything from gear fitting to in-water guidance, so the experience works well for both first-time snorkelers and experienced swimmers looking to explore Molokini Crater's reef.
Whether the captain takes you to Molokini Crater or redirects to Coral Gardens based on the day's conditions, you are snorkeling at one of Maui's two most celebrated underwater sites. Families with children, couples on vacation, and solo travelers all find this tour to be a relaxed, well-organized way to spend an afternoon on the water. During winter months, the chance to spot humpback whales from the deck adds an extra dimension to the cruise that makes this more than just a snorkel trip.
