From Ma'alaea Harbor: Whale Watch Cruise Aboard the Malolo
Description
Enjoy this 2-hour guided adventure in a high-speed catamaran to watch the whales in their natural habitat. Depending on the whales’ behavior during your whale watching trip, you may see the whales slapping the surface with pectoral fins (their very long side fins), flukes (the tail), the peduncle (the strong muscles attaching the tail to the rest of the body) and the breach, this is when the whale rises completely out of the water and crashes down again. Juices and sodas are available on board. ***If you are a Groupon customer, please note that the meeting point is*** Departure Point: Ma'alaea Harbor, Slip 87 Meeting Address: 300 Ma'alaea Rd, Wailuku, HI 96793 (US +1 808-661-9937) Directions: Meet at Boss Frog's Dive and Surf (Ma'alaea Location) next door to Beach Bums. *Please DO NOT visit 181 Lahainaluna Rd # B, Lahaina, HI 96761 that your Groupon map may show.

Fun experience with a great captain and crew pointing out the prime viewing spots. Only downside was that we did not ride on the catamaran as advertised and purchased but a double decker larger boat. Upon boarding we were told they don't use those boats in the afternoon. Felt like false advertising.

The captain did a great job finding whales for us to see. The crew was excellent and so was Marta taking pictures. We purchased the whole package which included her pictures of the whales.
We’re thrilled you enjoyed your Molokini snorkel tour aboard Malolo, it’s one of our favorite ways to experience Maui’s underwater beauty! Hope to see you again soon.
Booked a trip for my family on the Malolo. Went to harbor and was given directions to get on the Quicksilver. I asked one of the workers that I expected the Malolo. Was told that that was weird because that boat is typically used for snorkeling in the mornings - not for whale watching. We were on their “booked” list so we went. The Quicksilver had over 100 people. If you’re lucky you’ll be one of the first on board and you will get in the front on top or main level. If your luck is average you’ll get top middle. My family got stuck in the bottom deck rear. Most the whale watching was done behind dirty windows with the back of peoples heads in the way. NOT WHAT I BOOKED. They definitely pulled a fast one. They already had my money so why should they care. Buyer be ware!

Sooooo amazing! Well worth every penny. Great whale watching - superb and fun crew. Knowledgeable staff - not too cowded. Safe on the bay - relaxing and exhilarating at the same time. Would do it all over again.

We truly appreciate your review of the whale watching tour aboard Malolo!
Great view of Maui from the ocean. We followed a pod of 6 whales for about an hour, unfortunately they weren’t in the mood for a breach but exciting nonetheless.
Whale watching aboard Malolo is incredible! Thank you so much for joining us.
Great experience. The captain was very informative on the whales and brought us right to the area to be able to see them.
So happy to hear your Whale Watch Cruise Aboard the Malolo was a hit! We love sharing those crystal-clear waters with our guests.
The boat was very nice- great viewing deck. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We saw a mother & pup within the 1st 10 minutes of departure! I loved hearing the whales communicate! Complimentary soda and juice were great. Did have to pay $11 for parking but it was a great tour at a great price! Would recommend!
Wow! This sounds like an incredible day aboard Malolo for the Molokini snorkel tour. We love hearing that our guests consider this tour to be the best part of their Maui vacation! We'd love to welcome you back the next time you visit. Aloha!
Lots of whales! Crew was very knowledgeable and hospitable. Would definitely recommend for those visiting Maui.
We are happy to hear you enjoyed the Molokini snorkel tour aboard Malolo! This tour is the best family vacation activity on Maui. Thank you for the rave review! Aloha
The crew did a wonderful job trying to get us near whales. They did explain the whales are headed back north so there are fewer in the water at this time. Even still we were able to catch a glimpse of a mama and baby whale. The crew was very kind, super helpful. I would definitely recommend this crew!
Sounds like you had a great day at the whale watch tour aboard the Malolo! Mahalo for sharing your experience.
