We had a wonderful day on the Pride of Maui Elua snorkeling trip! We did a 5 hour adventure on the Elua luxury yacht and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a small group snorkeling trip! This yacht is beatiful both inside and out! Very comfortable seating areas, very clean bathrooms! We were offered a lovely continental breakfast and a great bbq grill lunch! Crew was amazing! Very attentive to all of us and our specific needs. They offered plenty of preventative solutions for seasickness - greatly appreciated as it was a windy day so sea was quite choppy! Thanks for a lovely day!
We are a family business with 40 years in Hawaiian waters, who continue to appreciate these wonderful reviews from so may of our wonderful guests! We offer two options for spending your day with us on the ocean. Our flagship, Pride of Maui is the largest and most stable, Maxi Power Catamaran on Maui. She is spacious and ideal for families and groups looking for a fun, well equipped snorkel boat which includes a super water slide for kids and adults of all ages. Our new luxury power catamaran Pride of Maui "Elua", is the only luxury power catamaran on Maui, designed for discerning guests who appreciate exceptional experiences aboard an exceptional boat, with a lot fewer passengers than all the other large catamarans. I am pleased that you chose "Elua" and have so many nice things to say about our luxury yacht and her amazing and attentive crew. Glad you had and amazing and lovely day.
Five of us took the ʻElua Luxury Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Tour on Tuesday, August 4, and it was a highlight of our Maui trip. From the moment we boarded, it was clear this crew runs a top-notch operation. Captain Justin was fantastic — knowledgeable, clearly passionate about the ocean and Maui, and great at balancing safety with fun. He explained everything we needed to know without ever making it feel like a lecture, and he kept the whole boat laughing and engaged throughout the day. Kirsty was an excellent lifeguard, keeping a close eye on everyone in the water while still making us feel relaxed and taken care of. Anna and Sam were terrific too — from helping us get fitted with gear to cooking up a delicious lunch onboard, they handled it all with warmth and efficiency. The food was a genuine highlight (four of us had the island fish, one had the cheeseburger, and everyone cleaned their plates!). Molokini was breathtaking — crystal clear water and incredible visibility — and Turtle Town did not disappoint, with several green sea turtles gliding right by us. The whole crew made sure everyone, regardless of snorkeling experience, felt comfortable and had a great time. If you're looking for a snorkel tour in Maui, book with Pride of Maui and ask for the ʻElua. Justin, Kirsty, Anna, and Sam made it a trip we'll be talking about for years. Highly recommend!
We love to read these detailed reviews from guests like you who take the time to share so much about what made your experience with us, a highlight of your time on Maui. As a family business I'm so proud of my son Captain Justin, and his team. Justin is born and raised in the Hawaiian islands, and on these waters. He is an expert waterman, diver, and Captain. He is also passionate about this beautiful island of Maui, and appreciates that it is our guests who make it possible for us to do what we love so much. Kiersti, Anna and Sam are likewise passionate to share their knowledge of the ocean, and are dedicated to your safety, comfort and overall experience. You are so right, a filet of fish, freshly grilled right onboard, is especially delicious out on the ocean, with the majestic Maui coastline as your backdrop. Burger lovers rave about our Wagyu beef also served hot off the grill. The calm and crystal visibility at Molokini is spectacular and the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles at Turtle Town are just wonderful. Thanks for highlighting so many of the reasons you be talking about your experience with us for years to come.
This was really well organized. They did a great job checking people in, giving instructions, getting everyone set and ready. You get the perfect amount of time at each location (of 2) that you snorkel at. They provide a basic hamburger/hot dog and chips lunch. It was extremely well organized. This will involve a lot of other passengers on board. It was extremely family friendly, so lots of kids. No one can promise what youll see so stop one had some fish. Stop two I saw 4 turtles, which is amazing, but there are a lot of people in the water also looking to see turtles, so keep the crowds in mind. As with most excursions, a tip is expected on top of the cost of the tickets.
This is a well arranged review which we appreciate. It is very important for the safety and relaxation of our guests that we are organized, so that the overall experience is seamless and you do not have to give a second thought to anything but having a great day on the ocean, while leaving the rest to us. We are a family business with over 40 years operating in these waters. our Captains and crew are highly trained, skilled and experienced. I am glad you enjoyed the snorkeling, and the BBQ lunched grilled onboard. The Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles are a majestic site and its awesome that you saw four on your second stop. Pride of Maui is family friendly, and equipped with a super water slide to launch into the ocean, which is fun for kids of all ages!
Crew was extremely friendly and went out of the there way to make you feel safe out in the water. The snorkeling was amazing. The areas they took us out to were never too packed. The food and drinks that were provided on board were great too. Would definitely recommend.
Our flagship Pride of Maui is the largest and most stable Maxi power catamaran on Maui, with more space than any other large catamaran. Our crew are seasoned veterans with decades of experience. We are pleased that you had a great experience, and that you definitely recommend us! Mahalo!
Fabulous time. Staff were great and informative! Had an amazing time with our family. Beautiful sights
Such a great experience! The fish were absolutely beautiful and our Snuba instructor. Julie was absolutely incredible!
First, the crew was fantastic. The help on board was top-notch. The lunch really tasty! The crew was informative and helpful. They serviced everything on the boat really well. I understand weather and ocean conditions change. But we did book this one because it came with the stop with the turtles. I do think for the price of something like this. There should be a notification given the night before about the expectations for the trip. We may have made out of changed it, but we should be given an opportunity to cancel and rebook something else.
The Hawaiian islands are located 2,400 miles from the mainland, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. The ocean, winds, swells, and currents are in constant motion, and it changes daily and even hourly sometimes. We do not always know what the conditions will be the night or day before, though if we know the weather will be inclement or unsafe, we do communicate with our guests to discuss the options for rescheduling to another day. We do inform you throughout the booking process that the weather is not always predictable and that the locations we take you to are not always guaranteed. You should also be aware that though the turtles are nearly always located at Turtle Town, they are wild animals, with plans of their own, and there are those days when you may not see turtles at Turtle Town. Hence, this is something else we cannot guarantee with absolute certainty.
The crew made absolutely no effort to make sure all passengers safely navigated onto the boat, and into and out of the water, including senior citizens and those using canes. They simply did the bare minimum, without any effort to go the extra mile.
I believe you were on another company's boat, because all one needs to do is read the hundreds of other reviews by guests who went out with us, to see that one of the highlight's of their exceptional experience is our exceptional Captains and crew.
If you are looking for the absolute best snorkeling excursion, look no further than Pride of Maui. Our family took their Molokini Crater and Turtle Town trip in mid-July, and from start to finish, it was the highlight of our vacation! The entire 5 hour excursion was seamless and well-organized. We started with a light breakfast while riding out the Molokini Crater and then enjoyed snorkeling along the vibrant coral reefs there, surrounded by colorful fish and majestic sea turtles. We made a second stop at Turtle Town for further time in the ocean (and even more turtles!) We really appreciated the relaxed, non-rushed vibe. The crew gave us freedom to snorkel at our own pace—whether you wanted a quick swim or to stay in the water as long as possible. Everyone in my family was happy with their own experience! Lunch was delicious, featuring grilled chicken and hamburgers, (freshly grilled on board!) followed by flavorful beverages later in the trip. Plus, the water slide off the back of the boat was a huge hit and added an extra layer of fun to the day! While the excursion itself was amazing, what truly set Pride of Maui apart was their incredible, caring crew. Everyone from the registration people on the phone to the check-in people at the marina to the whole team on board was just fantastic. Special shout out to 2 people: First, Noah was so personable and friendly on board as he assisted in our boat ride and snorkeling experience. We loved talking to him and learning about the island and the sea life surrounding it. Thanks, Noah! Second, Takako was the absolute best! During our stop at Turtle Town, I accidentally dropped my phone into the ocean (inside a waterproof case), but I didn’t realize it until we were already en route back to the marina. I mentioned it to Takako. She was kind and empathetic, taking down my phone details and contact information. Honestly, I didn’t expect to see my phone again, but thought she was so sweet in even asking for the information. Days later, she tracked me down with unbelievable news! The team had waited for favorable weather conditions to return to the exact spot where we had snorkeled, and a crew member dove down and found my phone—still fully functional inside its case! To top it off, Takako personally drove it out to our condo just 15 minutes before we had to leave for the airport for our flight home. She wouldn’t even accept an additional tip, saying she (and her crew) were just glad to end our Maui vacation with one last BIG smile. 😀 You can tell this crew genuinely loves what they do and cares about their guests. The sincerity, warmth, and dedication went far beyond anything we could have ever expected. Thank you to Noah, Takako, and the entire Pride of Maui team for an unforgettable day and a truly happy ending. Do not hesitate to book with them—they are simply the best on the island! Highly, highly recommended!
Aloha and Thank You for your wonderful review. Its great to read that your time with us was the highlight of your vacation. With so much to do, beautiful things to see and exciting adventures to explore, it is an honor to be so highly regarded and appreciated. There are plenty of boats that will take you out to Molokini Crater and off to Turtle Town, and while it certainly helps to have two of the finest boats on Maui, what truly separates us, is our exceptional crew. We are family business with over 40 years in Hawaiian waters, and fortunate to have such an amazing team of experts who love what they do. They enjoy sharing their passion for the ocean and strive to exceed your expectations, as you say, from the first contact with Rachelle in the office. Born and raised in the islands, Noah is proud of his culture and quick to share his wealth of local knowledge of the land, on and below the ocean. His genuine Aloha is ever present in his eagerness to share and care for our guests. Our GM, Takako who also served as First Mate on your day, is known throughout the harbor as a highly skilled, organized leader with goodwill for the well being for all of our guests. When we spoke about your cell phone being retrieved and returned to you, she was quick to tell me that it was a team effort that enabled our crew to locate and return the phone, after it was on the ocean floor for several days. She was very excited to deliver the phone back to you on your way to the airport. I'd say I'm the most blessed boss in the business to have such an incredible group of skilled and exceptional crew, who diligently strive to make your day on the ocean with us, your best day on the island, and send you away with exceptional memories not soon forgotten. Thank you for joining us and highly, highly recommending us to others.
We couldn't make it to Molokini due to winds, but, we were also not taken to turtle town. The crew brought us North to a location that was crowded by large groups and had no turtles. Their (Pride of Maui) more expensive, smaller group boat left when we were arriving but we were stuck at this location with no turtles and little snorkeling action. Then, we had to spend over an hour stalling in the ocean because if we didn't we'd arrive back early. It was awful and the trip wasn't what it was advertised.
