Reviews for Pride of Maui

My wife and I sailed on the Pride of Maui For a snorkeling trip to Molokini crater. The vessel was extremely clean and well appointed. The crew was extremely attentive to guests needs. A trip went off without a hitch. I would highly recommend Pride of Maui.

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!

My first snorkeling experience. The crew was phenomenal and very helpful. We saw so many fish and turtles. The ship is new and has all the necessary amenities and luxuries. Can’t wait to go again.

We had our very first trip on the Pride of Maui 33 years ago, which was our first family vacation. 33 years later and my sister and I went aboard the Pride of Maui in memory of our mother who passed in April 2025. The entire crew was wonderful and the GM went out of her way to make a space for me to spread the remaining flowers from my mother's ash scattering ceremony into the ocean as we were heading back to the harbor. I am forever grateful for their kindness, always the most wonderful water experience, and the aloha that is felt both entering and exiting the boat. Thank you again and we will see you next March/April to commemorate our 1 year post ceremony. A hui hou!!

We booked a snorkel trip to Molokini Crater and Turtle Town, but on the day of the tour we boarded and were immediately told it was too windy to go to either place. Instead, we were taken to Coral Gardens, which is not what we paid for. My main problem with this company is that they should have given us options by letting us know in advance and I would have changed my tour to a later date, as we were here another 5 days. Additionally, I called a week before, post heavy rain storm, and they said everything would be fine and they’d let me know if something changed…BUT THEY DIDN’T. They knew as we were boarding that they wouldn’t be taking us to the crater, but they chose not to disclose this until everyone was boarded and they were pushing off the dock. We spent $752 for a family of four to see a couple of fish and a turtle at coral gardens when we actually paid for the crater and turtle town, big disappointment and no discounts or apologies were provided. Save your money and snorkel off the beach!

We had an excellent afternoon aboard the Pride of Maui. The crew was respectful and knowledgeable. We saw whales and dolphins, and everyone enjoyed the snorkeling and felt very safe.

Our family had an amazing time on the Pride of Maui for 3 hours of whale watching and snorkeling. We saw no less than 7 whales and 2 dolphins, which was amazing luck. Our captain had all sorts of fun-facts about the whales and different types of dolphins and how they interact. He even stopped the boat and dropped a mic in the water so we could hear the whales communicating with each other - super cool. We didn't get any major breeches from the whales, but it was still awesome. When it came to snorkeling, we were not able to go to molokini due to the rough water, but they picked a spot close to shore and we were able to see all sorts of fish and coral. We even had a sea turtle swim through, and were able to slowly follow it from above for 75 feet or so. I never would have thought we'd get to see a sea turtle in its natural underwater habitat like that - it was amazing. The food and drinks were pretty good for what they were. Burgers, hot dogs, and a grilled chicken sandwich. If you're the type of person who's just looking for an excuse to drink, this is not the tour for you. They didn't open the bar until 2/3 or more of the way through, but had water, soda, and a signature non-alcoholic fruit drink available from the start. I don't personally care about the availability of alcohol, but know plenty of people do. Overall, really great time and would definitely recommend.

Review for Myths of Maui Snorkeling Tour Rating: 5/5 Stars Our family had an absolutely incredible day with Pride of Maui! From start to finish, the staff was amazing, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The boat itself was impressive—clearly new, impeccably clean, and remarkably fast and smooth on the water. We felt the utmost confidence in our captain, whose primary focus was clearly our safety. He carefully monitored the weather conditions to ensure we had the best possible snorkeling adventure while keeping everyone secure. As if the snorkeling wasn't enough, the captain took us out to see the whales, which ended up being the absolute highlight of the trip! It was a breathtaking experience—we were close enough to actually feel the spray of their breath. Throughout the journey, the crew kept everyone happy, serving up refreshing drinks and cooking a fantastic lunch. It’s clear this team doesn't cut any corners; every detail was handled with care. This was a special day for our family that has now become a forever memory. Mahalo to the entire crew for an unforgettable experience!

Our snorkel tour on the Elua (3/19/26) was the best! We did other excursions on our trip and this one was the best value for our money. 10/10

First time being in Hawaii and booked this excursion. Mind you, I used to be a lifeguard and have always swam growing up. Love the water and this experience was amazing! From the catering provided to us to two stops we made to snorkel and to lastly the amazing staff onboard. Just a truly amazing experience. Everything was very organized. Would recommend Pride of Maui anytime.

Can't add anything not already said in recent reviews. Captain and crew were great, experience was fun and well worth the price, equipment was in good shape, drinks were tasty. Easily one of our top experiences on the trip. Don't forget your sun protection!
