Would highly recommend
The entire staff was very attentive to all of our needs. They made us feel comfortable before boarding and throughout the entire sailing. They were very informative about the history of whale watching. Even though we weren’t on a whale watch they made sure that we were able to capture the best sightings. The lunch that they prepared on the grill for us was amazing. Even down to the cookies they offered us. We would most definitely do this excursion 10 times over. Highly recommended
It was Awesome Experience
It was an amazing experience. The crew was awesome and really nice. The boat was extremely clean!
Amazing Birthday Experience
The crew makes you feel so safe, they are very interactive and fun, and food was good.
Amazing & friendly staff!
Took our 2 girls age 12 and 8. The staff was so accommodating and friendly. We saw so many whales, turtles and had beautiful calm water! Totally worth it! Super tasty food and the Mai Tais are top notch!
Unforgettable Dream Wedding
The boat was the perfect size for my 50 person wedding!!! Phillip and Rachelle blew me out of the water with my florals and decorations which was a girls dream. The crew/staff embodied Hawaiian hospitality at every turn from interacting with the bride/groom and even our guests. They were ranting and raving about how nice the crew was. The captain was so accommodating ensuring we were safe and comfortable checking in to make our day unforgettable. We even were able to capture the beautiful whales celebrating our nuptials with us; breathtaking. It truly was the perfect wedding. The guests loved the food and the portions were large! It was the wedding of a lifetime that we or our guests will never forget! And a very affordable choice!
AMAZING day at sea!
They made sure every thing was nice and organized. Felt safe with a great crew! Captain kept things going never felt rushed. 100% will do it again! Good and drinks really good!
Amazing experience and people
Honestly unbelievable. Crazy good hospitality, we saw everything as expected. Couldn’t have had a better boat and crew… not to mention this boat is nice as …
Awesome Crew and Experience
Crew were friendly and helpful and took care of all their guests. Justin was a great captain and the rest of the crew was great as well. Food was really good and so were the snacks. I highly recommend.
The best time!!
This is our second time with Pride of Maui. Justin, the Captain, and the entire crew were amazing and truly thought of every detail from the moment you step on board. Their professionalism paired with great humour made the experience even better. We saw it all—turtles, whales, you name it. Special shout-out to Kadyn for calming my nerves and making me feel completely at ease getting into the water. Thank you to the whole crew for an unforgettable morning on the water!
Beautiful boat and crew
We had a great tour. Snorkeling, turtles, whales with good food and drinks!! A wonderful crew made it unforgettable!
Amazing day!!! Amazing crew and boat!
Look no further than Pride of Maui … I chose this tour because it’s early morning and did not disappoint. NO crowds at Molokini or Tuttle town and so many whales which our fantastic Captain took the time to position the boat beautifully so we could observe and enjoy them. The boat is new, comfortable and CLEAN!!! We don’t usually book on open bar events since we don’t drink and don’t want to pay for it or worry about drunk vibe on ship but no worries at all … such a friendly welcoming atmosphere, relaxed vibe, totally comfortable. Crew and captain amazing. Thanks Pride of Maui!
Amazingly nice service
The crew is very helpful and friendly. The food is good for vegetarians as well. Great hospitality.
Best tour ever!
The boat, the crew and the experience was incredible. We’ve done several of these excursions in the past and these guys have been the best we have experienced. Hats off to Captain Kayden and the rest of the team. Great sense of humor and education at the same time. Awesome day!
Captain Kadyn & crew deliver a perfect morning!
This crew went above and beyond to provide a good time for all. This boat is one of the nicest I have been on and the crew does a fabulous job. Well worth the spend

Luxurious cruise and crew
Pride of Maui Elua featured exploration of Molokini, snorkeling, whale watching in style. Not crowded. Open bar. Clean. Good food. Exceptional crew and Captain Justin has a great playlist and sense of humor. Be good to yourself and book Elua.
Amazing crew and awesome day on the water!
Amazing food and wonderful boat but most importantly a fantastic crew! Justin, sienna, Carly, Anna, and Chris made this cruise a beautiful and memorable experience. The surf required a change in plans and the captain still made sure we had an amazing day on the water!

Customers for Life
Our most recent trip was a private charter to spread our fathers’ ashes. The captain and crew were amazing, they were all so attentive and compassionate. The front office staff (Rochelle) was equally pleasant and helpful!
Team outing delight
Company outing I absolutely loved. We spotted lots of coral and parrotfish, and some of us even saw a sea turtle. Big thanks to the team for the great energy and local tips. Such a joyful, uplifting experience.
Snorkels, whales, dolphins
The entire day was perfect. Our crew made sure we had the best time. From snorkeling to whale and dolphin watching, while keeping everyone comfortable. Top notch.
Captain-led whale views
Fantastic crew. Serving, helping, and engaging. Captain Justin found great whale views and added interesting commentary. Good snacks and drinks, too. They won’t disappoint.
Best day on water
Amazing experience from crew to food to snorkeling and whale sightings. One of the best boat tours we’ve ever done. Couldn’t have been a better day.
Organized, safety-first crew
Did the Molokini snorkel and whale watch. By far the most organized, friendly tour we’ve taken. Safety was top priority, drinks were great, meals delicious, and crater snorkeling was incredible.
Whales even in March
Amazing experience. Multiple whales, including a breach, even on the last day of March. Air-conditioned, comfortable boat and super-friendly staff.
Snorkel + whales wow
Exceptional service. We saw plenty of fish while snorkeling and later watched whales breach and show their flukes. Breathtaking.
Music, dancers, whales
Wonderful evening. Live music, apps, drinks, dancers, main course, dessert, a beautiful Maui sunset, and even whales.

Must-do sunset cruise
A must-do. Tasteful food, well-made drinks, and absolutely stunning views. A perfect way to end our trip to Maui.
Friendly crew, great night
Our family loved the sunset dinner cruise. Super friendly and accommodating staff, great food and live entertainment, and beautiful views.
Organized, tasty, two stops
From boarding to return, everything was well handled. Freshly grilled burgers and hot dogs, fab drinks, snorkeling at Molokini plus a turtle stop, and tons of gear. SNUBA available, too. Highly recommend.
Thoughtful service, fewer crowds
Great experience with amazing staff. We even saw turtles. Loved the ginger drink handed out when the seas got choppy. Fewer passengers and excellent snorkeling made it worth it.
Spotless boat, tasty food
Wonderful experience for our family. The boat was spotless, breakfast and a delicious lunch were included, and an open bar after snorkeling was a great touch.
Guided snorkel, turtles close
Above expectations. Exceptional staff, including an in-water guide pointing out fish, especially species unique to Hawaiʻi. Turtles swam right by us. Loved having a wetsuit jacket for the chilly water. Highly recommend.
GF-friendly, easy fun
Lots of flotation devices, delicious food, and they kindly accommodated my gluten-free diet. Relaxed vibe onboard and nice snorkeling.
Great views, great crew
Beautiful views with a little history along the way. Tasty BBQ options and a crew that stayed helpful throughout the excursion. We’d definitely do it again.
Safe, seamless, awesome
A fantastic excursion with everything you need for a great time. The crew kept everyone safe in the water and comfortable all day. Highly recommend this snorkeling company when you’re in Maui.
Way beyond expectations
Way cooler than we imagined. All snorkel gear provided with an optional SNUBA upgrade, lots of flotation, and wetsuits to rent. We visited Molokini Crater and Turtle Town and made memories that will last a lifetime.
Caring crew, amazing snorkel
Trip favorite. After my daughter bumped her head (on our rental van), the crew, J., Patrick, and team, were incredibly kind and kept checking on her. Snorkeling was excellent (needlefish, eel, more) with a paddleboard guard watching over swimmers. And the cookies at the end were so good. Highly recommend.
