Must do experience! - 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.

Lovely trip aboard the Pride of Maui Elua! - 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!

Great day on the water - 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 and experience - 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.

The hospitality, professionalism, kindness, and expertise is unmatched for this excursion! We saw baby sharks, eels, numerous fish, and an octopus.

Five stars: the crew made the day - 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!
