Reviews for Pride of Maui

What an awesome experience! We booked with Pride of Maui in January during the whale migration. They fed us breakfast, snorkeled at the Molokini crater, fed us lunch, snorkeled just off of Maui, and then topped it off with delicious Mai Tais from an open bar. We must have spotted over a dozen whales during the trip, and saw a mother and her calf as close as 50 feet away. And at the second snorkeling location, everyone swam with multiple sea turtles. Throughout the expedition, the staff offered facts about the whales and other ocean life we viewed. Everyone was professional, relaxed, and fun. They ensured everyone was safe, comfortable, and enjoying the trip. Not only that, but they went above and beyond to ensure my 1yo daughter and I were cared for throughout the trip. Would 100% recommend for families or other larger groups interested in exploring reefs, spotting whales, and swimming with sea turtles.

We loved our trip out to Molakini and Turtle Town and got to see whales and turtles! The boat was clean and nice, people were fantastic, and the food was alright. I’d recommend them

This sunset boat tour was an amazing way to end our honeymoon in Maui. The food was great, the open bar was fantastic, and we were lucky enough to see incredible whales, which made the experience unforgettable. The ocean was naturally choppy at times, which is no fault of the tour. If you are prone to seasickness, I’d recommend using the wristbands they offer. Overall, it was a fun, memorable, and beautiful way to spend our last night.

It was my first time snorkeling and I’m a non-swimmer. Takako was super friendly and nice and very patient with me. Except me, all the other people on the boat were well versed with swimming/snorkeling. Nevertheless she paid special attention to me and thanks to her I could enjoy the snorkeling experience. They have decent food and drinks and provided a safe and fun experience.

We did the Elua Molokini tour and it was excellent. Very knowledgeable and attentive crew that made us feel safe and relaxed the entire trip. The boat was very clean and comfortable. Two beautiful snorkel spots, a great lunch and delicious cookies to finish it all off. A truly wonderful day and company!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pride of Maui is a beautiful luxury boat with an amazing crew. You can really feel that it’s a family-operated business, and that care shows in every part of the experience. The snorkeling was great, the boat was comfortable and well-run, and the lunch was delicious. Everything felt relaxed, professional, and thoughtfully done. Overall, it was a really enjoyable trip and one I’d absolutely recommend.

Just completed a sunset dinner cruise with Pride of Maui and had a really fun time. The staff was excellent, always checking in to see if we were OK or if we needed anything. The drinks were free flowing and it didn’t take long to get a drink. Sometimes on other such cruises you have to wait in line quite a bit. Not so here. The dinner was very good. They even did two hula performances during the cruise. We got an added bonus of seeing several whales! I understand they are family operated, and it shows. It should be noted the boat was not overly packed with people, even though they could have put more people on the boat. We are locals and have experienced many of the tours here, and this is a very good one. Happy to jump on a Pride of Maui tour again!

Hands down the best boat experiences I’ve had in the Hawaiian Islands. We did both the snorkel day trip to Molokini and the dinner cruise, and each was exceptional. The crew showed genuine Aloha throughout, the live music on the dinner cruise was fantastic, the food and drinks were delicious, and the boat was beautiful and spacious. We were also lucky enough to see many whales, which made the dinner cruise unforgettable. Both trips were incredibly well run, all genuine Aloha, and truely created wonderful memories. Felt a part of the Pride of Maui Ohana after both boat trips - this is something truly unique to experience and feel. Highly recommend!

Molokini Crater Snorkeling Adventure – An Unforgettable Maui Experience This 6-hour Molokini Crater snorkeling tour was hands-down one of the highlights of our Maui trip. From the moment we stepped aboard, the energy was high, the vibes were fun, and it was clear we were in great hands. The ride out to Molokini was smooth and scenic, with ocean views that felt straight out of a postcard. Once we arrived, the snorkeling was absolutely unreal — crystal-clear water, vibrant coral, and tons of tropical fish. The provided snorkeling gear was top-notch and made it easy to jump right in and enjoy every minute. The crew truly made this experience stand out. They were phenomenal — funny, kind, and wicked helpful. Whether it was first-time snorkelers needing a little extra guidance or experienced swimmers ready to explore, the crew was attentive, encouraging, and kept the mood light and fun the entire time. Food and drinks were a huge bonus. A fresh breakfast was served in the morning, followed by a delicious grilled lunch after snorkeling. And once we were done in the water, the open bar kicked in — the perfect way to relax, soak up the sun, and swap stories with fellow travelers on the ride back. Everything was included, which made the day completely stress-free: snorkeling equipment, meals, drinks, and nonstop good vibes. This tour delivered adventure, comfort, and fun all in one unforgettable Maui experience. If you’re looking for a snorkeling tour that combines epic ocean views, amazing marine life, great food, and an outstanding crew, this Molokini Crater tour is an absolute must-do.

Went on the Elua....excellent

Product: Pride of Maui

A fantastic value hosted by a team of very kind and hardworking professionals! Everything was seamless and simple. Check-in was a breeze, shuttling to the crater was easy - kudos to the captain for his knowledge of humpback whales and for being willing to slow down/stop for everyone to watch the whales breach. Snorkel gear availability was perfect, and the included meals and drinks surpassed my expectations. Would absolutely recommend to anyone considering a quality snorkeling excursion.

Absolutely 100% recommend this tour. We looked at a few companies when we were preparing to book and we couldn't be more pleased with Pride of Maui. We did the smaller Elua Luxury snorkel tour and it absolutely exceeded expectations. I'll hit a few of the high points: - Fantastic captain and crew. This was a smaller tour...ours was around 20 people...and the crew consists of the captain, co-captain, and one other crew member but everyone wears multiple hats and their capabilities and demeanor were outstanding. - Excellent vessel. Very new boat with AC in the main cabin. Everything was super clean and tidy and there was plenty of room. Two very modern bathrooms as well. - The service and accommodation was off the chart. They delivered everything that was promised and more. - The equipment was top notch. Their snorkel gear was in great shape and they have a ton of additional gear available. Noodles, float belts, lifejackets, optical corrective facemasks for people who wear glasses, body boards, and wet suit tops( for rent on that last one). - They are very well prepared to help with anyone dealing with potential seasickness. Fresh ginger ale with actual ginger and those wristband things. Although our tour was very smooth we did have a couple of passengers that suffered a bit and the crew was very accommodating. - Food and beverages were great as well. There's a breakfast plate with fruit and muffins and whatnot and then there's a hot lunch option that you choose ahead of time. Then of course once you're done snorkeling there are cocktails and beers. - East access on and off the boat. My wife and I are over 50 and we had no trouble getting in and out of the water. I'll close with a couple of highlights from our trip. - They prepare you if you're new to snorkeling and there's a person in the water with you at all times who's ready to help or tell you about the sea life. - Between snorkeling sites we saw more whales than we did on the whale tour we had gone on a couple of days previous. The boat is equipped with sonar to better detect them. - My wife and I were running late to meet the boat and the captain called us to make sure we would make it and then set out a cone in front of the slip so that we'd have a parking spot when we arrived. We felt bad about being tardy and they couldn't have been nicer about it. These guys were great and I couldn't recommend them more.
