A trip on the Pride of Maui was one of the top highlights of our family vacation! The crew was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful. The captain was very knowledgeable, kind, and also very funny as he told us the local history and kept us informed of weather conditions and the scheduled plans. They all kept us very safe and comfortable during the whole experience. The boat itself was stunning and very clean. The snorkeling experience was safe and absolutely gorgeous. The equipment they provided was in excellent working condition and made the snorkeling experience so easy. Additionally, the food and drinks were delicious and very filling after hours of swimming. We chose this snorkeling tour based on our friends recommendation, and I am here to recommend it to you and to everyone I know planning a trip to Maui!!!! You will not regret choosing The Pride of Maui for your ocean excursion.

Highlight of our trip. Top notch captain and crew. The ‘Elua is the premier boat in the harbor. The crew and captain are so on the ball and friendly it is unbelievable. And to mention the actual trip- snorkeling in turquoise clear warm waters with turtles and tropical reefs and fish, to finish with a fresh grilled lunch and a cocktail. Life does not get better. Thanks to these people for our wonderful day. 🤙

My parents and I did the molokini crater snorkel trip back in April, and it was so wonderful. The crew and captain were so friendly, helpful, patient, and welcoming to all skills levels. The boat was also immaculate with enough space for everyone to relax between stops. Whoever designed that boat seriously thought of everything! The food and drinks were amazing and the perfect way to end a great half day. I would recommend this tour to anyone going to Maui and hope to do it again some day!

My husband and I enjoyed our tour. We didn’t see turtles but some others in the group did. We did see a lot of cool fish. The team was Great. One of the staff on the boat, Kay, was especially kind. I started feeling a bit seasick and she really helped me, giving advice (stare at the bird nest!) and bringing me a ginger drink. She continued to check on me and even gave me some ginger chews in case I felt funny after getting off the boat. The water slide was fun!

Had a genuinely great time out on the water, even though the conditions weren’t on our side. Molokini Crater was a no-go due to choppy water, and honestly, Turtle Town didn’t quite live up to the name either. We spotted one turtle, which was cool, but it wasn’t the experience we expected. Those were the two main draws, and weather just didn’t cooperate. The crew though? Exceptional. Genuinely one of the nicest, most attentive groups of people. They did everything in their power to make the day great given what they were working with. That part didn’t go unnoticed. The stop we did get right had solid visibility, calm water, and we even spotted an octopus. Food on board was a highlight too. The chef took care of us, and the mojitos on the way back were a nice touch. Here’s where it went sideways though. We parked right in front of the boat. Literally facing the boat. Not once did anyone mention that the lot requires payment unless you’re in a specific spot. No signage that stands out, no heads up from the crew or check-in staff, nothing. We came back to a towed car and a bill that made the whole experience sting on the way out. The crew alone is worth the trip. But between the conditions cutting the experience short and the parking situation at the end, it just didn’t land the way it should have. A heads up on the parking would’ve changed everything.

I was expecting this sunset cruise to be like the one we went to in Oahu. It was not baby friendly. There were no high chairs or tables so eating with a 3 year old and 13 month old was very challenging. The boat was much smaller than I expected. There wasn’t really any safe place for a baby to walk around. I was also expecting the hula show to be longer and more to it, there was just 1 hula dancer that performed a couple dances. The food and drinks were mediocre. The whole evening also felt rushed. I would have preferred to just got to another Lu’au then do this. Now if your someone looking for the experience of seeing the sunset on a boat and not have children then this would be fine for you.

One of the best boating experiences on Maui for snorkeling or dinner cruises. When we come back, this is always the place we will go with.

Our party of 6 had a great time. The boat wasn't crowded, the food was surprisingly good and the crew were very friendly and accomodating. Diving the Molokini crater was a truly unique experience, As soon as you pulled up to could see the fish from the top deck. We saw a myriad of fish and a spotted eagle ray, We then went to Turtle City and saw a dozen or so green sea turtles. The water slide off the front of the boat was fun for everyone.

Very unprofessional company. I reached out before we booked about allergies that we have in our group. I was reassured that they do not ever have the allergic on board only to find out that was not the case. I will never use this company for any excursion again as I would not trust them

We had a fantastic snorkelling excursion with Pride of Maui. Captain Jason and his crew were polite, friendly, and knowledgeable. They were all very genuine and made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable. They were attentive to the needs of the passengers and made it a very pleasant outing. They served breakfast as we boarded the catamaran, and then lunch on the way to the second snorkelling area. The Molokini Crater was an excellent spot to see the fish, and then there were turtles on our second stop at Turtle Town. We even saw a Monk Seal! I highly recommend Pride of Maui for your snorkelling excursion!

Great experience! Paupau style hors 'd oeuvres & dinner with open full bar. Staff couldn't have been more friendly or accommodating! Food basic but really tasty ribs, chicken & roasted veggies 😋 Houla performance was beautiful. Captain helped all enjoy the gift of whales in the area too! Safe, fun, & tasty!! Thank you for a great evening 😊

Wow! They are not kidding when they say uncrowded, unhurried, and unsurpassed! Captain Jason, Takoko, Kay and the rest of the crew were amazing! They took such good care of my 84 year old mother, who had never snorkeled in her life. They treated her with kindness and care and she LOVED it! We all did. Even though we didn't get to go to Turtle Beach, because of the weather, we enjoyed the snorkeling, food, and great atmosphere on the boat. Thank you Pride of Maui for making our vacation even better than we planned!
