5.00Without thought… this experience was a FIVE! From the staff (informative, friendly and funny), to the experience (new, clean boat), to the food (they bbq’d burgers and such on deck!)… even the ocean fish and turtles cooperated. This was one outstanding day and we would do it again. And I love supporting local family business too. Well done, team!

5.00Well worth the money! The yacht was clean, comfortable, and spacious. Real rest rooms and hot showers add to the opulence. Inside features two couches and bench type seating with tables. AND it’s air conditioned inside! A full service, open bar was available after two snorkeling sessions. I delicious meal was also offered that was cooked on the boat so it was hot, fresh, and tasty. The crew was phenomenal, not to mention the snorkeling experience. I’m 73 and not a strong swimmer. The crew was so helpful but not condescending regarding the amount of help that I needed. This was a family, 3 generation trip. My granddaughter (age 23) put together the events and, honestly, I would not have chosen to go snorkeling and was hesitant to go. I AM SOOOO glad that I went out of my comfort zone and went.
Elua Maui is worth it!

5.00For the smaller group size, extremely comfortable ride, and excellent gear, the few extra dollars you pay for the Elua is worth it. We previously went on the regular Pride of Maui snorkeling trip and it was awesome! Elua takes it to the next level. The crew is great and very friendly and you can tell they love their jobs! My husband also got a little seasick and they took good care of him!
Awesome experience
