Top notch experience!

This was the very best organized tour ever. Kaden, Carly, Sienna, and Jim made every guest feel like they were the only ones on the tour. The group was a perfect size. Not crowded. Super clean vessel, terrific drinks and lunch. It was way more than we expected. They were great in talking to us about where we were going, some of the history of the area. They knew where to take us so we saw the most sea life.
We highly recommend this wonderful trip!

Well worth it

The boat is great! The whole operation is smooth and well done. The boat has a couple of big bathrooms which is nice because you can dry off and change for lunch and the ride home. We had Kadyn, Jim, Sienna, and Karlie. They were fantastic. Very engaging and made the experience wonderful

Best thing we did on Maui

My wife and I have been on Maui for a few days, done a few tours and guided events and this was by far our favorite. Captain Kadyn and his crew (Karlie, Sienna, and Jim) showed us not only the best spots for snorkeling but prepared delicious food/drinks, made us feel safe and secure in the water, and even did a full loop around the crater because the weather was good!

Just book it!

Honestly this tour was top notch! From the Captain (Justin) and the crew (who were so kind and wanted everyone’s experience to be amazing), to the interior (clean, comfortable, and spacious) the the gear that was used, and even including the smoothness of the ride!!! Can not recommend this boat and this crew more!!! A step above any other tour we have taken (and we have done quite a bit!). Book the luxury cruise and enjoy the food, ride, snorkeling, and overall experience!!!! You won’t regret it!

The best crew and the best experience

The crew was truly incredibly genuine. We had the best time, the best food and the best drinks. With weather always being unpredictable and the wind being a factor we got lucky with some calm water. The crew really wants everyone to be comfortable and have a good time, consistently checking in. The snorkeling was obviously great but the boat experience was top notch. The boat was very clean, the bathrooms were nice and clean, the grilled lunch was delicious, the snorkel gear was well maintained and my favorite was the hot shower for after you get out of the ocean. Would 1000% recommend.

Highlight of our Trip!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about this experience. My family’s snorkeling and overall experience on the Pride of Maui was one of the highlights of our trip to Maui. The boat was immaculately clean, with bathrooms and comfortable seating available both indoors and on the upper deck. They played music that really made the atmosphere wonderful. The crew was incredibly kind and also very attentive. They constantly asked to bring us water, food, helped us out with the snorkeling equipment, etc. The captain was skilled and very knowledgeable. He told us the history of the area and constantly kept us informed about the changes in the weather or if we could see wild animals like dolphins by the ship. The captain is also very good natured, incredibly kind, and friendly.

The food and drinks were amazing and very filling after several hours of snorkeling. The snorkeling spots were incredible with lots of fish and turtles spotted. The crew also helped us out getting off the boat and in the water as well as with our gear.

We were recommended this tour by a friend, and I will be recommending it to everyone I know who is planning a trip to Maui. Overall, an incredible experience.

Exceeded High Expectations

My wife and I booked our excursion weeks ago. Looking at this mornings forecast we were hesitant to go. We are so glad we elected to go! What an amazing day and all thanks to Captain Kadyn and his crew! All of them were welcoming, friendly, and professional. They had as much enthusiasm for the excursion as we did and you could tell they wanted all of the guests to have a fantastic time. The gear, food, and experience were well worth the money. Topping it off with getting to see a momma whale and her new calf doing breaches and tail slaps was just icing on the cake. Hard to explain how clear the water is at Molokini, but it is blue and crystal clear. Would I book this excursion again? In a heartbeat. Mahalo!
