10 Stars- it’s no contest- just book the Elua for your snorkel tour - We booked the Molokini snorkel aboard the Elua. I don’t often write reviews but if I could give 10 stars, I would. The boat was immaculate- clean, well-maintained and well-appointed. Captain Justin was friendly, funny, and clearly committed to ensuring we all had a great and safe time. The crew was also amazing- attentive, and prompt to serve every guest with equipment, a drink, and a smile. If you are discerning about your experiences and want a luxury experience instead of a “cattle call” one, this tour is for you. Every thoughtful detail made for fabulous Maui memories!

A great experience, all around. - Amazing experience. The weather really cooperated and we saw turtles and a variety of tropical fish. A dolphin raced our boat on the way back. The food was top notch and the crew was awesome. Will do again on our next visit.

Perfect day, fabulous experience! I can’t imagine what could possibly have been improved. Definitely recommend! - Friendly, professional, knowledgeable crew made sure all details were perfectly organized. Beautiful boat, great amenities, delicious food. Perfect day all around. If you only choose one outing while on Maui, definitely consider this one. We will be going out on the water with them again.

HIGHLIGHT of our trip! - A trip on the Pride of Maui was one of the top highlights of our family vacation! The crew was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful. The captain was very knowledgeable, kind, and also very funny as he told us the local history and kept us informed of weather conditions and the scheduled plans. They all kept us very safe and comfortable during the whole experience. The boat itself was stunning and very clean. The snorkeling experience was safe and absolutely gorgeous. The equipment they provided was in excellent working condition and made the snorkeling experience so easy. Additionally, the food and drinks were delicious and very filling after hours of swimming. We chose this snorkeling tour based on our friends recommendation, and I am here to recommend it to you and to everyone I know planning a trip to Maui!!!! You will not regret choosing The Pride of Maui for your ocean excursion.

Great Excursion - 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 Caden, Jim, Sienna, and Karlie (sp). They were fantastic. Very engaging and made the experience wonderful.
