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!

Facing my fears!

We had a lovely day out snorkeling ! The water was so clear and warm, and we were surrounded by curious brightly colored fish. The food was decent and plentiful. The crew were wonderful, very helpful and especially kind to an old lady with creaky knees and a pathological fear of sharks. A very memorable experience!
Awesome. Really Enjoyable. Great Crew

Excellent trip. One thing to note: you cannot bring aerosol sunscreen. You need to bring reef/eco friendly suntan lotion.

amazing experience! had a blast! very friendly staff and Captain is loaded with knowledge. we went on December 21st, 2025 and saw about a dozen whales. the captain steered us toward them to get us as close to viewing as possible. we had to spend our full 2 hours at the crater because the other place did not have good visibility. I guess. we didn't get to see the turtles, bummer. however, we were not bored for one second of our entire 2 hours in the water. visibility was clear up to 150 ft. we saw all different types of marine outing life, colorful fish. and birds. the breakfast on the way out was light, a little fruit, a blueberry muffin and a croissant. not too feeling and tasty. lunch was grilled fresh on the back of the boat. cheeseburgers and chicken bar on the boat made free drinks. absolutely excellent time, highly recommend! and praise God!
Highly recommend Pride of Maui

Super well organized and accommodated every passenger from 3 to 80, literally. Would highly recommend this experience. We saw fish, turtles, coral, and lava formations while snorkeling and whales while under way.
Great family experience!

The crew did an amazing job! Enjoyable trip, everything organized but not fussy. Food was great, choice of beverages was good too. Saw whales while going out to Molokini and on the way back to the harbor. Not many fish at Molokini, but visibility was excellent. Would def recommend!!

Most amazing snorkeling experience. Saw hundreds of fishes of every color. And whales too. The staff were super friendly and courteous. Icing on the cake was the unlimited drinks, which was perfect after a long session of snorkeling.
Snorkeling was ok. Not as...

Snorkeling was ok. Not as many fish as I imagined. We snorkeled off the beach at our hotel and saw more fish and turtles.. Staff was excellent and captain was very knowledgeable and got us on Some whales so that was a bonus. The weather didn’t allow for turtle town so that was disappointing.
Elua to the crater and turtle town was an amazing experience

Pride of Maui Elua was a beautiful boat with hot showers and full size bathrooms. The crew was delightful, helpful, informative, and fun throughout the entire adventure. The captain, Justin, interacted with us even taking our request to sail around the crater as well as taking time to hang with humpback whales. The whole crew was so helpful with the kids when they were hesitant to go in the water when the reef shark was seen (so awesome!). The meals were quite good and can you say open bar!?! Such a great way to spend a half-day. Highly recommend!
Crater-great.... turtle town not great.

Snorkeling at crater was good. Instructions for beginners, excellent. Turtle town was a disappointment, most seeing one or no turtles. Suggestion: On another turtle snorkeling outing I was on, the guide was in the water with us telling us where and when a turtle was spotted. But note, that location was way better....more shallow. Turtle town is not worth the time.
