Fantastic Experience! - From start to finish this tour was top notch - from the parking lot to the dock when we were finished. We can't say enough about this fabulous vessel and crew. Capt. Nate greeted us with a great welcome - we had an issue with the parking and he jumped right in to take care of it without hesitation. He was very knowledgeable and had no hesitation in chatting with his guests. His crew of Justin, Maddie and Austin were professional, courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. The food was excellent with very fresh pastries and fruit as we started out and the BBQ of burgers, fish and chicken was very tasty. A mother and baby whale were spotted and Nate went out of the way to get us a little closer, as a result porpoises were playing in our wake. I'm not so comfortable in the water and Justin ensured that I was, with tips and kept checking with me to ensure I was doing okay in both locations. Overall, it was a fabulous experience, the best excursion we have ever taken. We would definitely recommend this excursion, Captain, and crew to anyone visiting Maui.

Wonderful Crew, Incredible Views - What an incredible experience- definitely book this tour if you’re traveling to Maui! This is a bit embarrassing, but I was actually really nervous about going snorkeling. I had never been and didn’t know if I’d be able to figure out the gear and how to do it properly. But the crew was super helpful. Austin, the designated lifeguard, made me feel super safe and secure. He helped me fit my gear properly and I felt at ease swimming around knowing that he was there in the water if I needed him. What a sweet guy! The boat itself was lovely and clean. The bathrooms exceeded my expectations…and the bar was amazing. The views were incredible! Thanks soooo much Captain Nate, Justin, Maddie, and Austin! You really made my trip to Hawaii the trip of my dreams. Till next time 🤙

Amazing Molokini Snorkeling - The captain and crew of the Pride of Maui were Amazing! Extremely attentive, lots of food options and cocktails after snorkeling. We snorkeled at Molokini and then off the shore near Wailea. Such a fun adventure, we will be joining them the next time we visit Maui!

10/10 Recommend - We had an absolutely incredible time on our tour of Molokini and Turtle Town with the Pride of Maui. Easily the highlight of our vacation. The crew (Captain Nate, co-captain Justin, Maddie, and Austin) were all very welcoming and knowledgeable. On our way to Molokini, Nate spotted a humpback whale. We diverted our course slightly for some impromptu whale watching, which also turned into sailing alongside a pod of dolphins! The diversion was greatly appreciated and did not take away time the planned snorkeling excursions. The snorkeling gear was fantastic; the masks supplied never fogged and the snorkels never filled with water. The fins were comfortable. They had a variety of floatation devices available for people to use as they pleased. The crew did an excellent job at making everyone feel secure and safe in the water. Molokini: I was nervous that the reef wouldn’t be in great shape (similar to what can be seen along the shoreline) but was pleasantly surprised! The water is crystal clear allowing you to see to the bottom of even the deeper areas. The coral was colorful in yellows and pinks. There were plenty of fish, though we were contained to one specific area for snorkeling. Turtle Town: The coral here was colorful as well with lots of fish and turtles present! Very diverse coral system with lots of interesting nooks. The boat: we were aboard the brand new ‘Elua which was the perfect vessel for a day on the water. Multiple seating areas, fully functioning bathrooms, and a well stocked bar. There was plenty of food supplied and all of it tasty. Highly recommend this tour service! Worth every penny.

Best snorkeling experience of my life! - Absolutely incredible experience snorkeling on Molokini today! We had an early start, but they provided a scrumptious continental breakfast & tasty grilled lunch and beverages throughout the day. Such a comfortable boat & attentive crew. They really go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. They are also very safety conscious - I saw them work with non-swimmers, 1st time snorkelers, & children. Everyone had a wonderful time. This is an exceptional group. Book with them, you won't regret it!

Excellent snorkeling and sightseeing adventure on the Pride of Maui - My wife and I just returned from an amazing snorkeling adventure on the Pride of Maui. We were guests on their brand new power cat. We went to Molokini Isle in perfect weather and had a fantastic time snorkeling. The captain, Nate, and the rest of the crew were extremely attentive, friendly, and vigilant in assuring the safety of all aboard both during the boat trip and snorkeling. Out of four crew on board, three are licensed captains. Every crew member helped with each activity and they prepared and served two great meals and drinks to round out the day. If you are visiting Maui be sure to book a trip with this outfit. It was the highlight of our stay! We even saw humpbacks and dolphins!
