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

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!

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!

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!

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.
