Reviews for Pride of Maui

The Pride of Maui was the best snorkeling tour! The boat and bathrooms were very clean, and the crew was professional—we felt safe the whole time. They don’t overcrowd the boat, which made the experience so much nicer. The price is worth it since breakfast and a delicious lunch are included. We saw lots of fish and even swam right next to turtles, the captain knew all the best spots! 5/5, highly recommend!

My husband and I went on the Luxury Yacht Elua Molokini Snorkeling Cruise and we were beyond impressed. From beginning to end, the crew took such wonderful care of us. Everything ran smoothly-extremely organized, the food was delicious and fresh, and the drinks were perfect. The crew were professional, kind, and genuinely welcoming. The Elua Luxury Yacht itself is stunning and incredibly comfortable. I appreciated that it was not overbooked, so everyone had plenty of space to relax. There were thoughtful touches that made the experience even more special, including a warm shower after snorkeling, clean bathrooms, towels to dry your hands, and comfortable seating for every guest. It was truly pristine. I highly recommend this cruise for couples. It was professional from start to finish and easily one of the best snorkeling experiences we have ever had.

Amazing experience! We have been on the Pride of Maui several times and it does not disappoint. The captain and crew were professional and fun. The hamburgers were great and the warm cookies were a treat! We also enjoyed amazing Mai Tais!! The water at Molokini Crater was crystal clear and alive with fish and even an octopus. The stop at the turtle reef allowed us to swim with turtles and see them up close. Thank you for an awesome day!

My wife scheduled me and my family for a snorkeling tour at the Pride of Maui Molokini. What a pleasure and a pleasant trip. Takaka, Kona, Olivia and the Captain were fun to hang out but maintained our safety as the first and foremost objective. They made all of us feel like Ohana. They answered all my questions, eased my fears and made swimming with the ocean great again. I gave this place 5 stars because it far exceeded my expectations. This trip is worth the money and time. I highly recommend this place when you visit Maui.

It was my first time snorkeling. Initially, I was nervous because I cannot swim but the crew was very friendly and taught us a snorkeling 101 lesson and gave us the confidence to face the ocean. I really enjoyed the experience and was able to float around and see black triggerfish, yellow tang, sea urchins, etc underwater. We were also served breakfast, lunch, drinks and dessert. The trip was planned very well and was on time. Highly recommend for beginners!

Highly Recommend this company! Excellent service! Excellent staff and crew onboard. We were unable to snorkel at Molokini because of the weather. However, it turned out to be a wonderful experience. Our captain took us out searching for whales....which was tough in early November. The continental breakfast was great! Such a welcome treat as we boarded the boat. The lunch was yummy! Hamburgers, chicken, chips and tasty cookie! Great hot lunch after getting cold in the water. And not to leave out the warm shower onboard to clean up after snorkeling. So helpful! Forget other companies...these guys are the best!

We had an amazing day out with Pride of Maui. Even though the conditions were windy and a bit tough at times, the crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a safe, comfortable, and memorable experience. Their professionalism and positive attitude really stood out. We’ve done several snorkeling adventures around the world, and this one was by far the best. The crew’s attention to detail, clear communication, and genuine enthusiasm made all the difference. The snorkeling spots were beautiful, the equipment was great, and we even got to see turtles up close—a huge highlight! If you’re considering a snorkeling trip in Maui, Pride of Maui should be at the top of your list.

Pride of Maui snorkeling and SNUBA is a well-run fun large catamaran. The SNUBA dive master Julie was a hoot. She was able to wrangle everyone's attention and keep everyone safe. The handsome bartender was able to make us non-alcoholic drinks with ginger that tasted great and also help prevent seasickness. The captain gave us warning of wind as we finished the cruise and were returning to the harbor in time. As soon as he predicted we would get splashed, we did! The food was great for a day cruise visit. They had burgers and cheeseburgers and chicken breasts for those that asked. They had nice items for breakfast, but we decided to eat earlier so we would not risk getting seasick. Some folks did get sick. :( I recommend this company for a safe fun trip.

We booked a cruise on the Elua for a daytime trip. Captain Justin and the skilled crew took the group to Molokini Crater for snorkeling, then to off of the beach in the Wailea area for more snorkeling in a popular sea turtle hangout. Everything was so well thought out and managed, from getting onto the boat, snorkeling instruction, food, after-snorkeling cocktails and the entire experience. The Captain and crew were extremely experienced, professional and friendly. I highly recommend this experience as a must-do while visiting this gorgeous island!

What an awesome trip! The entire crew on Pride of Maui were fantastic, they really made this feel like a luxury trip with top of the line service. The boat (including bathrooms) were pristinely clean, the captain consistently gave updates on water and wind conditions so you knew when to move about or put away your hats, there were sunscreen reminders, drink offerings while you sat and a tutorial and tips for newbie snorkelers. We saw soooo many fish, tons of turtles, octopuses, and even dolphins while snorkeling. I will absolutely be including the Pride of Maui in all my future trips and recommend you do the same!

We had a great evening relaxing and eating on the boat. They accommodated my celiac disease easily. The boat ride was close to shore, so no one got seasick and it was a nice break from hiking and swimming. The performers were great and Lorenas was social and kind. She always made sure we were content! Her complements & enthusiasm made our night better!

The crew was like a well-oiled machine. They were very friendly and made sure everyone was instructed well and having fun. In my humble opinion, you can get to better snorkeling areas on your own by going to various beaches on Maui, but this trip was perfect for my wife. It was the only time she got in the water to snorkel the whole trip. We didn't see any big fish or turtles, but I was lucky enough to see a few later that day on my own at a local reef off Maluaka beach. Nice beach! At the end of the day, I think Pride of Maui is a must if you're new to Maui. Great for the family!! Oh, great drinks as well, included.

(Note: I booked our trip through Viator and have posted this review there as well) We had a wonderful day on the Pride of Maui! The crew on our boat really worked their fins off to make sure we had a wonderful experience from the minute we stepped on board. All our meals were included and we really appreciated the hot lunch after being in the water. We had two stops; one at Molokini Island where our guide kept an eye on our well being, identified fish for us and cheerfully took our picture. Our next stop was the "Turtle Car Wash" (I don't know the exact name of this spot, lol). Again, our experience was important to the crew and one of them went in the water first to verify there were turtles present to see. After our turtle swim it was time to head back to the harbor and we were provided with adult drinks or sodas of our choice. I was especially pleased with how helpful the crew was with my husband's bout of seasickness, providing him with ginger drink and ginger chews and directing him to the rear deck. Thank you Pride of Maui for a great day!

Russell and Logan are our heros! We had just gotten done with our dinner cruise (on a different company) to find out car wouldn't start. Russell, Logan and some friends were on the dock and I approached them to ask for help and a jump. Without a moments hesitation I had help and was surrounded with positive vibes and helpful gentleman even after they had a full day of work. I was assisted with graciousnrss and kindness. I am thankful for the graciousness and calmness of these sailors in our hour of need. I know next time I am on Maui I will be using Pride of Maui for our boating needs as the experience and helpfulness of these gentleman were much appreciated. If you're looking for a great group of people who are calm, helpful, knowledgeable and caring looking no further than Russell &, Logan!

This was a fun tour, and the staff was so friendly, attentive, and helpful! I've done these tours before with other companies, and you get lunch, but usually it's sandwiches made in advance, which aren't that great. This company had a grill and served hot, freshly cooked hamburgers, hot dogs, and chicken, which were much better than expected. Overall, it was a great tour company. We'll look for you on our next trip!

We had an absolute wonderful time on our Pride of Maui snorkeling excursion on October 9. Molokini Crater was breathtaking. The entire staff was friendly and always willing to help the participants with anything. The restrooms on the boat were spotless. I can highly recommend this excursion.

Pride of Maui was a very well run, organized and a very friendly crew. We did a morning snorkel tour with two stops, breakfast (light) and lunch, drinks, cocktails and yummy cookies. The equipment was excellent as well as the instructions. Patient and accommodating people. I would recommend for adults and families. We saw pretty coral formations, lots of fish, green sea turtles and a few dolphins on the ride back to the dock.
