Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the morning and afternoon Malolo snorkel cruises?
The morning cruise lasts approximately 5.5 hours and is planned to visit Molokini and Turtle Town, with breakfast and lunch included. The afternoon cruise lasts approximately three hours, visits Molokini or Coral Gardens, and includes a lighter lunch with a hot dog, chips and soda.
Are Molokini, Turtle Town and Coral Gardens guaranteed snorkel stops?
No. The scheduled snorkel sites depend on wind, waves and visibility. The captain may choose an alternate reef when conditions make another location safer or better for snorkeling, so a particular destination cannot be guaranteed on every cruise.
How early should guests arrive at Maalaea Harbor?
Guests must check in 30 minutes before departure at Boss Frog's near Maalaea Harbor. Allow extra time for traffic, paid parking and the 10- to 15-minute walk from some parking areas to the boat slip so the vessel is not delayed.
