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!

This experience was so fun. The snorkeling itself was great. We saw a spotted eagle stingray and some turtles. Also the boat ride was great as well. The hamburgers were way better than I anticipated and the drinks were great. 5/5 stars and I highly recommend it.
Would do it again!

I was a bit dubious about such a large boat with capacity of many people but The Pride of Mauii was able to handle it well. The staff fed us efficiently and they definitely had it down to a science. Gear was explained for those who needed it and equipment handed out for those who needed it. The day we went the weather was calm so the snorkeling was not scary at all. Nice clear water and a number of fish including a nice eel swimming by probably the largest I've ever seen. A nice Humu humu nuku nuku apua'a swam by. They gave folks the area they could swim in and had a gal on a paddle board to watch us but nobody made us go in a group so that was perfect. I do wish we could have had a larger area to snorkel in as there would have been a lot of area to explore but I understand why each cruise boat has their own assigned area to snorkel in. They took us to Turtle Town and others saw a few turtles but I only saw one from the deck after reboarding. All in all a good experience. Mahalo
Must do family adventure while on Maui!

Absolutely an amazing experience! Took the whole family 2 teen girls, 1 4yr girl and my wife and I. The whole experience was awesome. The staff, the boat, the equipment, the food and drinks. This was on November 8th. We saw whales! Molokini was majical, super good visibility and lots of fish. Second snorkel spot was great too, saw lots of sea turtles up close. The crew helped spot them for us to see. They were very patient with my 4 year old girl that was a little hesitant at first. They know how handle kids in a positive way. Greatly appreciated. The boat captain and crew were great about communication not only safety but explaining what we were seeing and experiencing. Mahalo Pride of Maui for giving my family an unforgettable experience! We will be back!
Molokini Fun

Great experience! Left on time, good communication and explanations of what was happening and where we were going and all related details. Can tell they've done this many times before. It was a big expensive but had all the equipment and the boat was nice. Very professional crew and captain.
Fun At Molokini and Turtle Town

The water can be rough so use seasickness prevention if needed. The scenery is beautiful. Lots of fish at Molokini and Turtle Town but you might not see turtles. Continental breakfast and BBQ lunch were both good. Lots of equipment available. Our three adult children tried SNUBA and enjoyed it.
Fish and turtles and eels! (Oh my!)

I have done snorkeling tours in the Caymen islands, the Bahamas and the Keyes. This was by far the best, from the equipment to the guides to the actual snorkeling! We saw coral reefs and tons of fish - all sizes, all colors, all types! More than I have ever experienced on a tour like this! And turtles! That was the absolute best, to be able to follow a sea turtle as they were below me casually swimming along! In addition, we saw two whales! The crew was helpful and kind and the food was very good (hot off the grill)! I highly recommend this tour!
