That it is a fabulous day on the water. Definitely worth the price. I would love to go again some day. The crew all were wonderful, very professional and knowledgeable.

Such an amazing experience- this was such a highlight for our Maui vacation. The crew was absolutely amazing and the food was great to have after a morning of snorkeling. The two spots we hit had so much sea life and they gave us plenty of time to explore at our own pace. I also felt like the crew really catered to everyone’s individual skill and comfort level.
Beautiful boat, (nice bathrooms!), snorkeling was excellent: saw lots of fish, turtles, sea life. Crew was very professional and knowledgeable. I felt safe and had a great time! Would absolutely recommend.
My husband and I took this tour for our 41st wedding anniversary. This was by far our favorite thing we did on our vacation! The boat was beautiful. So clean, very large nice bathrooms, Warm water showers after snorkeling, lots of space to spread out. The crew were absolutely amazing! Caden the captain was knowledgeable and fun, the ladies, Sienna and Anna, were top notch professionals and so helpful, and Jim was the best all around bartender, chef and jack of all trades. The food was extremely good with fresh pastries, fruit, juices and coffee as we got on the boat and then a truly gourmet meal for lunch with Jim at the helm of the flat top grill preparing cheeseburgers, teriyaki chicken, and fish. Homemade macadamia nut cookies were provided for dessert. Drinks at the bar were fresh and plentiful. The snorkeling experience was truly wonderful. The gear was super clean and the efficiency of the crew made the experience top notch. We saw lots of different species of fish at Molokini Island including a small two foot shark, various wrasses, trigger fish, tangs, etc. There was a whale sighting along with some dolphins. Unfortunately we didn't see turtles, but that wasn't a make or break on the trip. Overall just a wonderful experience and worth every penny!
The crew of the boat was fantastic. They were very friendly and accommodating. They were very helpful in training both novice and experienced snorkeling folks. The boat was very clean and had plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors if desired.
Outstanding crew! Their energy and enthusiasm was infectious. The wind and weather conditions changed, preventing us from snorkeling in the first location. But that didn't stop the Captain from finding us an alternative spot that was fantastic.
This is the ONLY way to go! Incredible staff made this trip so enjoyable! A big shout out to Kjersti, Jim, Kadyn and Justin! The hospitality, professionalism, kindness, and expertise is unmatched for this excursion! We saw baby sharks, eels, numerous fish, and an octopus. Plus a bonus of 6 baby dolphins that followed our boat. Don't miss this one!
We did the snorkel tour today and had a great time. What really stood out was the staff. Everyone was friendly, and they genuinely seemed to care that we had a good time. It felt personalized, not generic. The rest was just as smooth: the boat was easy to get on and off, the snorkel equipment was in good shape, and the food and drinks were tasty. Everything ran without a hitch. Highly recommend this tour, especially for the warm, welcoming crew. Thank you for a wonderful day!
Incredible experience. Highly recommend, our captain and crew made sure everything was comfortable and a supremely enjoyable experience. My parents who had never snorkelled before had a blast.
All the staff was very professional, kind and helpful. Shout out to captain Cayden, and the crew-Sienna, Anna, and Jim! The boat was very clean and they took great care of us.
We had the best experience. While the boat leaves early, it was 100% worth it. Captain Justin and his crew were amazing. The food, the drinks, were all excellent. Limited kiddos (which we preferred) and an overall small group. Lots of individual attention. The snorkeling and dolphins were also great.
Best boat!! Clean, great team.
Amazing crew! Justin, Emily, Anna and Jim were incredible! We saw Hawaiian green sea turtles and we were so well taken care of! The weather ended up being great, and we would recommend this boat and this crew 100 times over!
Excellent excursion!! The boat is beautiful, the crew and captain were phenomenal!! The snorkeling was pretty, equipment was clean and perfect!! Highly recommend!!!!
This was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had. The crew was wonderful and so kind and helpful. I highly recommend this trip.
Good crew that gets everybody well equipped and enjoying snorkeling. Crew was attentive to our needs and pleasant.
The ship was comfortable and the crew friendly and helpful.
This was my first trip to Maui and my first ever snorkeling experience. The captain and crew were so attentive and nice. They made this such a great experience. The boat was gorgeous! Loved the shower and bathrooms. We highly enjoyed the entire thing. The food was great also
Beautiful boat, nice and competent crew, felt very safe. The best part was the boat wasn’t over sold so there was plenty of room for everyone. Emily was great, she was out on each snorkel and kept us continually informed. Great time.
This is the best, premium way to snorkel from the water in style. The crew was helpful, friendly, and organized. The boat is new, very comfortable, and clean. Plus, we had only about 40 people on the whole boat, so it never felt crowded. The snorkeling equipment was well maintained (and fit well!), and the food they served was quite good. Snorkeling of Molokini crater was spectacular; in addition to a multitude of vibrant fish, it offers great views of all of the Maui group islands. The second stop to visit the turtles was also exciting. This 5-hour experience was wonderful from start to finish.
Everyone was so nice! Captain Justin and the whole crew was amazing! Very professional, safe, amazing food and drinks! Good company! The views were breathtaking! We didn’t want to leave! It made our honeymoon 😍 we will be back.
Wonderful trip! We had a great time, felt safe and comfortable with the crew. The food was great as well!
This was a fantastic experience on a beautiful boat! The crew was great, very helpful and friendly. They made us very comfortable with the snorkeling even though we aren’t pros. We saw flying fish and dolphins on the way to the first snorkeling spot, and lots of colorful fish and an octopus while snorkeling. The food and drinks provided were excellent. They even had three beers on tap and fresh made mixed drinks. Beyond expectations. Worth every penny for a first class morning on the water. Highly recommended!
We had a frustrating arrival in Maui given the power outage and this tour felt like such a perfect respite. It was beautiful and fun, the staff were kind and very accommodating. My son got very nauseous and they could not have been more understanding. They even made him a ginger drink to help calm his stomach. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone and especially those with kids. The snorkeling was incredible and they had wonderful floats for adults and kids along with wetsuit shirt rentals on board so you could really just relax and enjoy the snorkeling. Highly recommend!!
Great time, good food and drinks. The yatch was very nice, new, and clean. They got us out to all the spots first, so we got to see a lot of wildlife, while the ocean was still calm, and uncrowded.
Despite booking on an extremely windy morning, Captain Justin and his excellent crew Emily, Kirstie, and Anna ensured every member of our party was welcome, safe, and card for. They accommodated our very strict vegan diet with grace and provided abundant food. The boat is extremely comfortable and steady, even in high winds. Justin is a gifted communicator and kept us up to date at all times. Most importantly, I observed the crew interacting personally with every member of every party in different ways, giving every person what they individually needed-encouragement, friendliness, instruction, a listening ear, or just a smile. They truly thought of everything. This was truly a top notch experience.
Appreciated option of wet suit top as Molokini water colder, as well as hot shower & clean toilets after superb Molokini snorkeling. Food delicious & plentiful. Captain gave detailed instructions, & he & crew were very safety conscious.
WOW!!!! First experience ever with this, and all we can say is Mahalo! We truly enjoyed this adventure for 5 hours. My wife and I celebrated our 16-year anniversary. All the staff were amazing; we got to meet new people from all around, and the food & drinks were more than luxurious in our eyes. The admission fee is worth every penny; you won't ever regret this journey. We love the pride of Maui! Thank you for everything again. We will see you next time! Sincerely, Jason & Britney W. 9/16/26
Crew was great and helpful. Enjoyed the food and drinks once we got done snorkeling. The molokini crater was amazing to see up close and all the fish. Then we got to snorkel with some sea turtles off the coast. Great time and would advise to do this excursion.
Beautiful, new yacht. Roomy, clean, very well appointed. Crew was fantastic from the captain on down. Informative, cordial, outgoing, helpful, made us feel like Ohana. Had all the equipment we needed and then some for a great snorkeling trip to Molokini Crater and Turtle Town. Good food, well stocked bar. Easy to find Marina and slip. Parking only $2.00/hr. right there close to their slip. Our second time sailing with them and we will be back again. I am a travel agent and do and will highly recommend them to all my Maui bound clients. Hubby actually saw a REAL, LIVE mermaid swimming in the water at Turtle Town. Not a statue, not a hallucination, legitimate live mermaid, stunning sparkling custom made tail and all that swam right in front of him and the group more than once pointing out to the snorkelers where to find the turtles. Thank you for an epic and unforgettable adventure.
Captain Justin does a great job hitting all the good spots and is very knowledgeable about the snorkeling areas and where to find all the wildlife. Would recommend 100%
This is our second time booking with Pride of Maui, and once again, the experience was excellent! Justin and his crew are incredible, and the boat is clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. Of course, the snorkeling was amazing. Highly recommend!
It was very good. Better than I expected. The crew and lifeguard made us feel safe and we had a lot of fun. It’s a great way to see some beautiful nature and it’s worth the price.
Great crew! Tons of fun, informative, great food and better drinks! The yacht is top notch too - showers bathrooms, plenty of seating inside and out.
What an excellent experience to end our vacation. The crew did a great job preparing everyone for the snorkel trip. We felt safe and well informed on our adventure. A complete snorkel experience from the boat ride, snorkel trip to the end meal. 1st class all the way
This is a fun experience to do as a solo traveler or with friends/family. The crew is nice and the boat is very clean! Great experience
Fantastic, comfortable and engaging experience. The boat was amazing and clean. The captain and crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. Couldn’t ask for a smoother trip.
All the crew were so nice, professional, helpful, and fun to talk to! The boat was beautiful and very clean. We loved our snorkeling experience! Mahalo to Capt. Justin and co-Captain(forgot her name, sorry), Sam, Emily, and Ana! Keep up the great work! Until next time! 🌺⛵️🤙🏽-The Ehlers.
This trip was SO WORTH THE MONEY! Don’t let anyone talk you out of it! The Captain and his crew take the best care of you, the food was great, the cocktails were fantastic, but most of all, the crater snorkeling experience was some of the best on this planet!
Amazing day .. Caden .. Anna.. Kristi .. are wonderful hosts !!! The day was a great combo of activity and relaxation. The girls helped w everything from water activities to food prep.. serving .. we will be back !
Captain Caiden and the girls working on this boat were absolutely amazing! We had a big group and it was all of our first times snorkeling and going on a yacht and couldn’t stop talking about how amazing and fun it was. I would recommend this to anyone traveling here! The best experience.
Boat was beautiful, nice bathrooms and warm showers after you get in from snorkeling. Plenty of room to dine, food and drink was great. All staff was very helpful and our family had a great time! Liked that the boat wasn't packed with hundreds of people. We were able to spread around the boat and take pictures. Would recommend!
Captain Justin and crew (Diego - lifeguard, bartender, etc.. and two other ladies who I don’t remember the name of - sorry!) were absolutely top notch! We started in Molikini however within minutes of the snorkelers in water, a strong under current hit and the majority started to get swept away. The crew jumped into action (literally jumping in water) to help save them. After everyone was back on board to safety they comforted them and assured that they would take us to a safer, calmer waters and they did. Snorkels with turtles and lots of parrot fish for over an hour. They fed us amazing breakfast, lunch and delicious cocktails to end the tour. I would 1 thousand percent book with them again. Thank you for the wonderful adventure and service!
Our snorkeling excursion on the Pride of Maui was absolutely incredible and easily one of the highlights of our entire trip to Maui! From the moment we stepped aboard, everything was first-class. The boat was beautiful, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, and the crew was outstanding. They were so friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure everyone had an amazing experience. The snorkeling was spectacular. The water was beautiful and clear, and seeing the incredible marine life up close was something we’ll never forget. There’s just something magical about being out on the ocean with Maui’s coastline surrounding you. What really made the experience special was how effortless the crew made everything feel. We were able to relax, enjoy the scenery, snorkel, eat, laugh, and just soak in every minute of being in Hawaii. It was the perfect combination of adventure and luxury.
Crew was absolutely wonderful! Their new boat was beautiful! Has a wonderful time! Highly recommend!
This was a perfect snorkel experience. The boat was so nice, clean, and felt luxurious. The crew was super kind and funny, and just knew what they were doing. Everything was intentional, drinks and food good. And just overall great time.
Amazing! I would absolutely recommend this. I have been on many snorkeling trips and this has by far been the best. Top tier experience.
Very safe and trustworthy staff! We had great time even though the weather caused us not to view turtles
Amazing experience, the crew was friendly and helpful
For context this is my third time to Maui and third time snorkeling (though it was our first time with this boat and crew). Our crew (Capt Kaiden, Jim, Christy, and Sienna) were so accommodating and wonderful. The molokini snorkel was beautiful, captain took us to the rim near the drop off and the wildlife was spectacular. Jim was a great guide through the snorkeling at both the crater and turtle town. Food was much better than I expected and the cocktails were so refreshing! It was not lost on us the attention to detail that the whole crew paid during the trip, they even cleaned halfway through and clean restrooms are a huge plus! 100/10 would book with them again!
