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!

5.00A great day. Crew is great. Kind, efficient, professional. It was s well-olied machine. Great snorkeling at both locations. Delicious lunch. And bonus that we saw a ton of whales!
Non-swimmers, have no fear!

5.00Even if you can’t swim a lick, the crew takes every measure to make sure you feel safe and floaty enough to see what you came for!
I would give this a 3...

4.00I would give this a 3 stars, but I think that’s only because the weather was poor, so I’m doing 4. They canceled the turtle stop due to winds, so only Molokini and we stared at the same 20 black fish. Nothing else. It was incredibly boring. My kids were miserable. If they were canceling one stop, I wish they would have offered us a refund. We went during whale season and the captain (who wasn’t fun and was very dry and boring) would stop the boat for long periods of time to whale watch. It got so hot on top when stopped moving and it felt like they were just trying to kill time. At one point it became a bit obvious that they were just killed time as otherwise we would have returned a full hour early. I have done a lot of snorkel tours, and this boat gives you only your mask, but makes you come down mid cruise to get fins. That’s when a lot of kids started getting sea sick. Sitting on the ground in the back of the boat trying fins on with a large group wasn’t great. Hand out the full kit at one time. They advertise breakfast, beware that it’s half a croissant and two orange slices. My husband was starving. Nothing else on the boat till lunch.

5.00We really want the crew to know how much we appreciated their professional, compassionate help when my brother Dave "got into trouble" at the second snorkel location with surface anxiety.....I don't know her name but the gal who helped him is to be highly recommended.....THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Dave feels she saved his life.....I tend to agree..... God bless her and ALL of them 😇🥰🙏🏼
The boat was very comfortable but expensive.

3.00The snorkeling adventure was expensive. Crater was mostly in the shade. Colors were underwhelming. Saw a few turtles but was expecting to see more. Weren’t able to see whales up close. The boat was new and crew was accommodating. I would book whale watching separately next time. Hopefully to get closer to them. I would look at snorkeling on our own and find local places to go. Not sure why we didn’t see many turtles at turtle town?
Great First time snorkeling experience

5.00It was pretty incredible. It was both of our first times snorkeling. This tour made it really easy. It had everything we needed and kind guides to help out. We saw a lot of wildlife and felt like we got a lot of time in the water.
Great experience!

5.00If you are only doing one thing in Maui, this should be at the top of your list! We saw whales, turtles and lots of fish. The all girl crew and captain were excellent! They made the adventure seamless. Beautiful boat, so clean and wonderful accommodations. Highly recommend!🌴😊
Wonderful half day experience for family

5.00Went as a family with my mother-in-law and kids (10 and 7). Well organized. Saw many whales. Lots of great equipment to choose from. Food was easy and my kids ate it. Captain and staff were excellent. Bring a towel.
Fish, turtles, whales!

5.00This outing was at the height of whale season, and we saw plenty of them on the way to Molokini. You pretty much get a 2-for-1 experience in addition to the snorkeling. Molokini is crystal clear, and as you explore, you discover more and more fish. The session ended with a school of surgeonfish escorting an eel right past me. Thanks fishies!
