Reviews for Pride of Maui

Had such a wonderful time! This is it for snorkeling! Staff is awesome Ana, Kjersti, Sienna, Kayden! I have a 4 year old and they made it super easy for him. Do you get sea sick no problem they got you. This crew has all the tools to make this a wonderful experience! I will be back next year and years to follow!!

Such an amazing experience! The boat was so comfortable and new so it had very nice facilities. Never felt crowded either. The entire crew was extremely professional and friendly. We brought our 4 yo with us and they made sure she had kid appropriate gear and adaptive equipment to enjoy all the sites too! Lunch was served and they were also so accommodating to my food allergies. We were able to see amazing sites and seeing sea turtles was what made our trip. Thank you Ana, Kjersti, Sienna and Kayden. This was an incredible experience!

5 stars. Pride of Maui crew, Caden, Kjersti, Anna, and Sienna, made the trip special. Super sweet and accommodating. The boat is beautiful, food delicious and snorkeling was super fun.

Five of us took the ʻElua Luxury Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Tour on Tuesday, August 4, and it was a highlight of our Maui trip. From the moment we boarded, it was clear this crew runs a top-notch operation. Captain Justin was fantastic — knowledgeable, clearly passionate about the ocean and Maui, and great at balancing safety with fun. He explained everything we needed to know without ever making it feel like a lecture, and he kept the whole boat laughing and engaged throughout the day. Kirsty was an excellent lifeguard, keeping a close eye on everyone in the water while still making us feel relaxed and taken care of. Anna and Sam were terrific too — from helping us get fitted with gear to cooking up a delicious lunch onboard, they handled it all with warmth and efficiency. The food was a genuine highlight (four of us had the island fish, one had the cheeseburger, and everyone cleaned their plates!). Molokini was breathtaking — crystal clear water and incredible visibility — and Turtle Town did not disappoint, with several green sea turtles gliding right by us. The whole crew made sure everyone, regardless of snorkeling experience, felt comfortable and had a great time. If you're looking for a snorkel tour in Maui, book with Pride of Maui and ask for the ʻElua. Justin, Kirsty, Anna, and Sam made it a trip we'll be talking about for years. Highly recommend!

The snorkel experience with pride of Maui was 2nd to none. The crew was friendly, accommodated our family, dietary restrictions and guided us on a world class snorkeling half-day trip. The morning is early having to be at the dock by 6:30 but totally worth it. Cannot recommend it more.

Highly recommend! As a family of 5, the traditional luaus were out of our price range. This was much more affordable and I don’t feel like we missed out since we still got to experience live music and two beautiful hula dancers. The experience felt more intimate this way. The food was delicious- my picky eater kids loved both the chicken and pork ribs. The open bar was also fun. Lots of non-alcoholic options. The boat ride was smooth and the sunset views amazing! I typically get sick on boats but with a Dramamine and one of the bartenders famous ginger drinks I did ok.

Captain Justin and his crew were amazing! They were very professional, fun and attentive to the needs of the guests. The boat was very new and clean. We saw many colorful fish and sea turtles while snorkeling. The food and drinks on the boat were great!

We had a group of 12 people join the Pride of Maui’s Elua snorkel tour, and it was a great experience for everybody. Captain Justin and his crew took really great care of the passengers on board. We saw turtles and fish and were provided with proper equipment to make the most of the activity even if people don’t know how to swim. The optional wetsuit helped a ton with keeping us comfortable during the activity. The boat itself is top-notch with very clean bathrooms, couches and plenty of seating with great views all around. Highly recommend this tour!

We had the best time 💚 definitely a highlight of our trip. Kayden, Kiersty, Sienna, and James were phenomenal. Everything from the beautiful boat with plenty of shade/AC/outdoor space/ CLEAN bathrooms to the delicious breakfast/lunch/bar offerings to the personal lifeguard/guide during snorkeling… A+ experience.

We loved our Pride of Maui Elua experience! They take great care to get you the snorkel Spots and treat you with top notch care. From the safety, locations, delicious fresh food and ever glowing drinks. Highly recommend (2 adults and one older teenager).

Loved our afternoon cruise with Kaden, Anna, Sammy, and Keirsty! They were all so calm and laid back. I love that they took us to an area to snorkel that wasn’t full of other groups. They know the area well and really made sure we all had a fun, safe time. Thank you so much!

On 7/11/2026, we took the Pride of Maui 'Elua Luxury Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Tour. It was nothing short of FABULOUS!! The boat, the crew, the food, the cocktails, and the sites we visited were just the absolute best!! We had so much fun and saw so many incredible creatures under the sea. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is shopping for a great tour. You can stop shopping, because you just found it! Worth every penny for the four of us in my group. Everyone is still raving about the awesome time with had with the 'Elua Crew.

While on our Babymoon, I booked a reservation for my husband and I to go snorkeling on the Pride of Maui. I chose this particular tour because it was a smaller group size and I did not want to feel crowded or overwhelmed on a boat with strangers. It was the perfect amount of people, and my husband and I ended up chatting with most of the other passengers, having lots in common. Our captain was Caiden, who was extremely kind, informative, and entertaining. We also had crewmates Sienna, Diego, and Jim looking out for us and making sure that we were comfortable and had all of our wants and needs met. I felt completely safe and comfortable the entire trip and I appreciated having a certified lifeguard on boat with us. The snorkeling experience was phenomenal and being pregnant, it made me feel so calm and relaxed. I appreciated learning the history of the two various locations we snorkeled at and the opportunity to see a sea turtle. The ship itself was pristine, and the restrooms were some of the cleanest I have ever experienced on a boat. The breakfast and lunch that they served us was tasty, and the macadamia nut cookies at the end were the perfect sweet treat. I appreciated that they were able to offer me mocktails since I cannot drink at this time, and those were tasty as well. This experience was worth every penny and I would definitely come back and do it again.

My experience as been poor both times on this Charter. I am a fan of giving second chances and failed both times. When there is 5k being spent by your customers you expect to catch more than 2 bottom fish. 20 people and 2 fish taken home small at that. This Captain spent more time trying to troll so he can sell something to Market. When everyone I talked to on the boat thought they signed up for just bottom fishing. I know that's what I signed up for. Now the girl deck hand spent most of her time talking about her life to people then trying to help the youngsters get a fish. Now at the end the Captain asked us to lie about our experience. Talk about the cheapest gear being used. No jigs just a hook and bait. When people spend 5k in this expensive boat ride to catch 2 small fish. Try and not be cheap and use some real gear. Get your people to fishing grounds right away they are paying alot of money. Don't ask me to lie. Also this is why they maybe were the only Charter boat with availability. The people on the boat said everyone else was booked. Maybe they struggle in many ways.

I cannot say enough good things about the Pride of Maui. The staff are incredible, especially with children/families. We were able to bring our four month old on board in her stroller. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and kind.
