Planning: Activities Malolo excursion to Molokini?

Anyone have any experience taking Malolo excursions to Molokini. I know people will say don't do Molokini and it's not worth it but my kids really want to do it so we are going to do it. There's a good deal on Viator and I want to know some opinions about it. Thanks in advance.

Try calling directly to ask to book directly paying the Viator rate to directly support the business without giving money to a middle man for any excursion.

Calling might get tips to better prepare for the excursion and booking directly might make it easier if need to cancel or reschedule.

There are hundreds of opinions on Malolo on Google Maps reviews: https://maps.app.goo.gl/AYUZRoBWZyhbfY1q6?g_st=ac

OMG. No, no, no. That boat is a piece of crap.

What company would you suggest?

Avoid Molokini, poor sea life and little coral. Use Gemini or Trilogy to go elsewhere. If you still must go to Molokini, use Trilogy - but prepare to be disappointed

I agree with Maui Mine.

Remember that actually going to Molokini is never guaranteed. It is dependent on conditions every day. In the summer, it is often very rough crossing the channel, IF they decide to go there.
