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.

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.

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.

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.

This was worth every penny! Crew was so friendly, boat was beautiful, food & drinks excellent!!

Our family of 12 had a fantastic time on the ELUA tour. The higher price was well worth it. The new, well maintained boat was a pleasure with fantastic facilities including “real” (clean) bathrooms, easy water access, great interior with seating and a bar, warm showers on the rear deck when you come in from snorkeling. Complimenting the boat was an awesome crew. Crew was friendly and attentive to our needs. Lunch included freshly grilled onboard burgers, chicken and fish. This tour limits the number of guests which makes it feel like a small private tour. I highly recommend the ELUA tour.

We had a wonderful time with the Pride of Maui crew on the ‘Elua luxury boat tour. It was my first time snorkeling and my husband’s first time in Maui. We absolutely loved the experience – the boat is gorgeous, super clean and comfortable, and the snorkeling locations are unbeatable. We saw countless species of fish and swam with three sea turtles at Turtle Town. By the time we got out of the water, we had both worked up an appetite, and the lunch off the grill on the boat was delicious! We both since haven’t had a mai tai or a lilikoi mojito that topped the ones we had on the ‘Elua either. Everything about the day was enjoyable, from the boat itself to the snorkeling to the hospitality. Thank you to Captain Justin and his crew for a wonderful time – we would highly recommend.

Chill, first-class vibe with perks like parking by the slip. The crew gave our 5-year-old the confidence and coaching to snorkel for the first time. Hardest part was going home.

Such a great time. Nice staff, good food, and a very relaxing evening. Would definitely do it again and recommend it to friends and family.

Great time with the Pride of Maui. Friendly crew, open bar, and good food. Perfect for a sunset boat ride.

Wonderful evening. Everything was fabulous. Great food and drinks with very enjoyable entertainment. Highly recommend.

Wonderful evening. Live music, apps, drinks, dancers, main course, dessert, a beautiful Maui sunset, and even whales.

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.

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!

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.

Amazing experience. Multiple whales, including a breach, even on the last day of March. Air-conditioned, comfortable boat and super-friendly staff.

Exceptional service. We saw plenty of fish while snorkeling and later watched whales breach and show their flukes. Breathtaking.

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.
