Pride of Maui

Staff were awesome and very attentive. We went out and saw plenty of fish, a turtle, and an octopus. Well worth it. Kid friendly as I took two of mine and the staff helped to make sure they were comfortable.

Amazing experience for my wife and I. We really appreciated that the boat was not packed to capacity, but rather this operator intentionally keeps bookings well below what the boat is certified to carry. Highly recommend the Snuba experience with Reed, who is highly professional and provides a great overview and guided tour while you are taking in the sights under water.

If you have any Scuba experience and/or you are not traveling with kids or adults not comfortable in the water, ask if you can do your tour 2nd, after the initial large group goes out. You will have a nicer time and won't have to deal with other folks slowing down your adventure. Reed treated us so well! Finally, the entire staff was super friendly and made this outing one of the highlights of my Maui trip.

My wife and I did the morning snorkel that went to Molokini. Took off at 730am and got back around 100pm. We would highly recommend this! The crew was awesome and took care of everyone at all skill levels of snorkeling. They also had snuba for the more advanced folks. But we got about two hours total in the water and saw a ton of wildlife and super super clear water. Can't recommend this enough! Also got breakfast (fruit and pastries) and lunch (burgers hot dogs chicken breast) with an open bar on the way back. Can't beat it!

"Unforgettable Underwater Adventure in Maui!" Our snorkeling trip to Molokini Crater and Turtle Town was nothing short of magical! As first-time snorkelers, we were a bit nervous, but the crew's exceptional care and attention to detail put us completely at ease. The staff provided thorough instructions on snorkeling techniques and safety measures.

They went above and beyond by offering floating belts and noodles for added security, which was perfect for beginners like us. Diving into the crystal-clear waters of Molokini Crater was like entering a whole new world. The vibrant array of fish and marine life was absolutely mesmerizing. The highlight of our day was at Turtle Town, where I had the incredible luck of swimming alongside a Hawaiian green turtle as it surfaced for air - a truly unforgettable moment!

The tour operators thought of everything, including breakfast and lunch with vegetarian options to cater to different dietary needs. This attention to detail really enhanced our overall experience. For anyone visiting Maui, this snorkeling tour is an absolute must-do. It's a perfect blend of adventure, natural beauty, and professional service that will leave you with lasting memories of Hawaii's underwater wonders.

Everyone was very friendly. Service was amazing. Food was very good. Some of the best I've ever had on a dinner cruise. Luau was super and sweet with just 2 dancers but was ok. Would do this again for sure! Great time!

Absolutely perfect snorkel experience! Went to the crater and another spot to see turtles! Staff was so nice, food was great, drinks were great! Views amazing, they offered wet suits on the chiller side which helped a lot. Also a ton of whales on the way and back to sites and dock. Absolutely must do when in Maui!

Wow! What a way to start our Hawaii vacation cruise. The sunset dinner cruise was absolutely fantastic. The entire crew was so friendly and made the experience that much better. So many laughs.and oh, the whales!

I'm so glad we made this part of our anniversary trip. The captain and crew were so awesome and polite and so concerning of everyone and their level of snorkeling experience. If you're a beginner like us, this is the tour. The whale watching was awesome as well. I have a new appreciation for the whales and the ocean that I never had before. The lunch and bar was great too. Thanks for the best part of our trip. We will definitely do it again when we come back.

We did the molokini snorkel and whale watching tour and this was by far the most organized and friendly tour I have ever taken in any vacation. Safety was top priority, and every single staff member was so friendly, helpful and took pride in their job. It didn't seem like just another tour for them. They all had a zest for making it the best experience for everyone. Drinks were fabulous, breakfast and lunch were delicious and the snorkelling at the crater was incredible so many different fish to see. Non swimmers and those new to snorkelling were given one on one attention to ensure they also had an incredible experience.

We had our own gear but it appeared that all equipment provided was exceptional. Fins and lifejackets were in excellent condition. We were blessed that day to have so many whales to watch as several breaching right in front of our boat. The captain shared so much information and was vigilant with safety and weather conditions. Thanks so much for this experience we enjoyed every minute.

Great ride and snorkel! Wonderful staff, good open bar and food. We couldn't do the turtle cove due to merky waters but they made up for it with a whale watch.

Completed the Molokini Adventure on Friday, Jan 6th. Our party consisted of 33-37 year old adults and two children aged eight and ten. We did the morning adventure with a departure time of 730am out of Malaaea Harbor. The parking was completed through a QR code and app through cellphone. Be sure to park and pay for the entirety of the time (through 130ish at least).

The guides mentioned cars were being towed. We arrived and received a continental breakfast of fruit, muffin, crossiants, juice and coffee. The ride over took about an hr, and we were greeted with whales! They offered wet suits for children and adult tops for rental, at $10 each (cash or venmo as allowed). We opted to grab them for our kids, our daughter runs cold and she lasted the entire snorkel just fine with it. Were they necessary?

For folks prone to cold, otherwise the water was tolerable. Molokini was lovely with great clarity and perfect conditions. We saw eels too! Once we returned on board, there was lunch (hamburgers or hot dogs, chips, soda or juice). They offered second servings. The food was served buffet style. Coral gardens was the second stop and had nice snorkeling too.

Each destination had about 1 hr of water time each. The highlight was the slide for the kiddos. We had sailed once before with the company and came back specifically for the slide; it was a highlight for the kiddos. There were plenty of families on board. The service was good and the food was decent. Would recommend. No frills. Just friendly service and nature did the work.

Fantastic trip! First time snorkeling at Molokini and Pride of Maui made it unforgettable. The crew was amazing with top notch hospitality. Boat ride was smooth and equipment fit our needs. Molokini is so beautiful! Food is great, too. Absolutely recommend! Bonus: We saw humpback whales breaching! The skipper said it's early in the season, so it was a treat to see them.

We recently booked our snorkeling tour with this company. Overall really great experience. We did the Molokini crater and turtle town snorkeling tour. Me and my wife both don't know swimming, but the guides made sure we enjoyed the experience without any worries. They give you enough time in water to explore. With the tour they provide breakfast, lunch and drinks. Definitely will recommend this company for your snorkeling adventure.

We had such a great time snorkeling with this company today! The crew went above and beyond to make sure that we were enjoying ourselves. They were all so friendly and informative! We even saw a few whales. The food was delicious and the drinks were great! My hubby and son did the SNUBA and it far exceeded their expectations. I'd highly recommend this company! You won't be disappointed!

Great captain and crew! Really wanted to snorkel Molokini but it was a bit rough! Don't think I would of went if I'd known we weren't going to Molokini. Definitely someone to ask at the dock upon check-in!

A thousand times BOOK IT! Came across snuba from a friend who had done it a few years ago. This tour was hands down the best part of the trip. The snuba is the way to go. We boated out to Molikini Crater which was about a 30 min sail. Enough time to get some quick training of using the snuba gear and listen in on the instructor, Julie who has been doing this around the world and calling Maui home for the past 14 years. So, totally worth it.

I didn't make it down very deep due to some anxiety but still enjoyed seeing all of the under water beauty. There were sooo many fish. The coral is stunning. You can snuba and snorkel on this tour so you still get a good amount of "play time." The island is magical. You will feel all of what I'm describing when you take this tour. The staff showed so much Aloha. Takako and Zack were awesome.

The Captain was also awesome. Even served some drinks when it was busy and the boat was anchored. The food was really solid too. Breakfast had some croissants, muffins, fruits and some guava juice. The lunch was burgers, chicken, hot dogs with some chips. Also very good. Seriously ono! I hope you experience this. You'll thank me later. Aloha!

A few tips: Bring a rash guard or wet suit top. They rent them for $10 but you'll like having your own. Bring cash. Ps don't forget to tip your crew and instructor.

The staff was incredibly accommodating! Great snorkeling in both spots, especially the eels : The reef friendly $5 sunscreen was trash, so bring your own. Highly recommend renting $10 wet suit tops to maximize your time in the cold water. Free beer and Mai Tais was a good bonus! Mahalo!

We did the pride of Maui snorkel and whale watching tour. The service was incredible. My daughter had a panic attack in the water and one of the staff members (didn't get her name) was so sweet and calmed her down. The food was delicious. They made sure everyone was well fed. The drinks were delicious, definitely doing that again. We had already done a sunset dinner cruise which was also incredible. PRIDE OF MAUI is where its at.

I've been on other dinner cruises woth other companies and the staff was dry. Highly recommend 100000% they make you feel like family. They made a pink drink with mailbu rum, tastes just like a gummy bear!

2nd time visiting Pride of Maui. 1st was for whale watching/snorkeling and this was snorkeling. Loved it! The staff is what makes it. They're all so nice and make sure you're taken care of. My son is so afraid of water and with their help and a little education he got in the water to snorkel for both stops! Wonderful boat! Great food and some of the best Mai Tai's on the island!

They offered a very good service, people onboard were helpful to provide basic lessons/ instructions to my friend who didn't know swimming. But the corals in Molekini didn't meet the expectation (Much better corals found in Napili/kalalua beach) and then they skipped the 2nd place for snorkeling (Most of the people already expect this of canceling) The food onboard was really good and helmsman was very patient during whale passing by and often tried to go near it, other boats weren't patient as this one though. Overall a very good experience with Pride of Maui.

Found the Pride of Maui on Yelp, because you know, I don't really go anywhere without checking Yelp. Booked our excursion and decided to try the Snuba Dive. We did sail to Molikini Island, and I want everyone to know that the winds determine the course for all boats. Winds are stronger in the afternoon, so it is best to book the early sail. It's not just this charter that has to cancel due to high winds. It's about everyone's safety, and if you haven't seen a boat capsize due to a wave, you should google rough water boat capsizing, and then you will understand.

That said, this is an awesome experience. Snorkeling was a blast. The mouth piece is small, you won't choke on it. You wear a life belt and can even hold on to a pool noodle so you feel extra secure. The crew on the boat is top of the line! Filled with Aloha! The food was great, the service excellent! Tip: Bring an underwater camera to capture the sea life you will see!

About the Snuba Dive: I've never dived before, I begged my husband to pay the extra for us to try it. I was lucky to be in the 2nd group of divers, or I probably would not have gotten in the water again! So thank you to Taylor for your patience with me and really trying to get me to Snuba dive. I can see why you only take out small groups of people now.

In case there are terrified people like me, and my daughter! Just a warning to people who are not good swimmers, or have any fear of water, Snuba is not for you! Even if you think it will be fun, it won't! I really tried to let go and let myself sink, but my self-preservation and fear of drowning because I couldn't make it to the top caused me to have to keep coming up for what I call "real air" as opposed to air from the tank and regulator.

I just couldn't do it, because even though I was breathing under water, I kept seeing the air bubbles, from the exhale, which made me breathe faster and heavier, causing me to freak out and come to the surface again, and again, and again! I was so exhausted whenI got back on the boat. I am thankful that I didn't eat before I went out and instead chose to wrap up my food for after.

I would have barfed for sure in the water as I was gagging from the taste of the air, which I can't even begin to explain. Honestly, we may have been out there for 30 minutes, but I felt like it was hours. My husband became a pencil floater, and I kept thinking he was drowning, by daughter couldn't do it, and my son tried very hard to go deep.

The other people that were in our group made it look so easy, I was so jealous. If you aren't afraid of drowning, then this will be fun for you! I need to stick close to the surface! But, at least I tried.

We ended up going out two days in a row with the Pride of Maui - one morning for the snorkeling trip and the next afternoon for the whale watching. There was some overlap, but who doesn't enjoy going back for another snorkel looking for turtles? And we saw some whales the first day, but spending a couple of hours searching for them the second day was a blast!

Even caught a pic of a breaching whale about 100 yards of the boat. This crew is the best. So warm, welcoming and helpful. I will definitely use them again when I come back out to Maui.

Absolutely unforgettable experience. I am so glad we were able to get this booked on our vacation. Kinu and his wife were excellent performers and servers. Matt was a great skipper and pointed out at least 20 whales to the passengers. Food was amazing. Service was great. Views were unreal. I was sad to get off and leave the crew. Definitely will be something that we do again when we are back. The performances and souvenirs were awesome as well. Again, unforgettable experience!

Fun trip and good experience. We went out to molokini which wasn't as good as hoped due to distance from shore. Boat is pretty full meaning you get less time in the water per stop (only about 45 minutes). Burger was excellent. Next time I'd just snorkel from shore to save more water time and money but they were good.
