What To Expect
Snorkel at two exceptional locations aboard the largest Maxi Power Catamaran on Maui operating at just 60% of our Coast Guard capacity. Pride of Maui is the most stable, spacious tour boat, offering far more space per passenger, and unsurpassed guest service. Molokini Crater offers unparalleled visibility, and is a unique opportunity to visit 1 of only 3 sunken volcanic calderas in the entire world. Turtle Town is a unique series of underwater lava formations where Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles gather, and an opportunity to view these graceful animals in their natural environment. Both sites offer a wide variety of colorful tropical fish and other unique marine animals. SNUBA is also available onboard for *an additional charge*. Swim up close with beautiful marine life in a safe, controlled environment 15 feet beneath the surface, under the care of our expert Maui SNUBA instructors. With over 40 years of experience, we understand the needs of our guests and strive to exceed your expectations. We provide breakfast, lunch cooked onboard, and an open bar after snorkeling, featuring ice cold micro brewed beer, wines from Napa, and mai-tais. Kids of all ages, love our super water slide!

5.00Great experience to go snorkeling at the crater. So far out from shore but within a safety net of a large group, with a crew full of experts. The crew was warm, upbeat and genuine. The crew makes or breaks your excursion and they were all friendly and helpful. It was a great time. They feed you more than enough for the time you are there also!
A unique, wonderful snorkeling experience!

5.00My family and I had an amazing time!! Molokini Crater is a spectacular snorkeling spot, and I got to try out the SNUBA, which was a lot of fun! The crew took care of us well, and when my husband was feeling a little sea sick, they were extremely helpful. Lunch, snacks, and drinks were also good!
Fun

4.00Molokini sees a lot of destruction from bleaching and snorklers/divers who don't know what they're doing (trampling on the coral reef). Crew is very engaged and friendly, however. If you're not spoiled, go - but don't expect too many fish or turtle, let alone colorful corals.
A decent tour for the common tourist

3.00We took this charter today and I would say it was fair. The directions were clear on how to board, but there is no need to arrive early. I got there around 7:15 and we waited in the sun until about 7:50 when they finally let people on. The breakfast was fair- nothing great, but fine. The boat itself is nice and large and comfortable enough. We got to the crater and they gave clear directions about how to get in the water. There were a lot of people on the boat though so everything takes time, lining up. You have to line up to get fins or floaties and line up to get off. Then when you’re in the water because there are so many on the tour people bump into you in the water A LOT. It was crowded. The crew tries to keep things as organized as possible though. The snorkeling at the crater was OK. There were some small fish. Then we had lunch which was a frozen burger and some chips. Not bad, but fair. Then we drove to another spot hoping to see turtles, but no luck. We did see some dolphins on the way which was cool. The snorkeling at the second spot was also OK. Then they opened a bar and gave us a cookie. My son did enjoy going down the waterslide- it was def his highlight. The crew was perfectly nice but I don’t think it was worth the nearly $700 for the 3 of us to go. We snorkeled yeststerday at airport beach and saw way more for free. I probably wouldn’t do this tour again.
A must do!

5.00The crew is super friendly and efficient! The food was delicious and the snorkeling experience was awesome. Make sure you try the slide! The captain was super cool and his choice in music made the experience even more enjoyable and fun. We saw lots of fish and even turtles. I know the experience can be very weather dependent but our day was filled with sunshine and smiles. 10/10 experience.
Great snorkeling experience

5.00Great experience for snorkeling(our second time) at molokini crater and turtle town, boat was well equipped and did not feel crowded. Afternoon windy conditions caused choppy waters at turtle town which is not in anyone's control. Tons of pool noodles available for experienced/beginner snorkelers. Crew was super and ensured everyone was safely enjoying the experience. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience this.
