The crew on this trip were so extremely obnoxious and rude. We basically paid full price to be treated like dirt and waste our precious time in Maui. We Didn't see the crater or a turtle for that matter- no turtle town. No real explanation but "it happens". Ok well their alternate route was not enjoyable or anything what we were expecting for $600. The hot dogs I would not eat and the hamburgers made us all sick. Not to mention they just threw out tons of food left uneaten, it seemed extremely wasteful. Between the captain and "snuba" instructor- they either hate their jobs or just hate people. I would give this company a hard pass. I do not recommend this company for anyone looking for an enjoyable excursion.

The Pride of Maui 'Elua Luxury Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Tour was an exceptional experience. The boat, captain, and crew were all excellent. The smaller number of participants also contributed to a positive experience. Highly recommend!
