Staff and food 5 starts!! - What an amazing adventure we had today! Snorkeling, dolphins and whales! Wonderful food and attentive staff the entire trip we were catered too. Food was fantastic and the crew was having fun getting to know all of us. I would highly recommend pride of Maui Eula.

Great day on the water - Great tour, the captain was awesome driving the boat and on the mic without going over the top. The crew was always there if anyone needed help and quick with drinks and food. Lunch was surprisingly a good burger. Water was perfect at Molokini and Turtle Town. All equipment supplied if needed, from snorkels to pool noodles to sunscreen. Got lucky and seen tons of dolphins and whales as a bonus. The tour never fealt rushed, always time to stop and take in the added wildlife. Boat was top notch, nicest bathrooms and cabin I’ve seen. Also super easy in and out platforms for the water. And warm fresh water overhead showers for when getting back on the boat. Will book here again next time, my wife fealt the same way. Nuff said

Best Snorkel Trip Ever! - Can't say enough great things about this snorkel trip! The crew was amazing and thought of everything, making sure everyone on board was comfortable and well taken care of. They had several natural seasick remedies for those of us who don't always do so well on the water. Breakfast and lunch we're delicious and the drinks were great. The captain not only got us to 2 great snorkeling spots but also found spinner dolphins and whales! Weather was perfect and we.met.some great people.from around the US. Highly recommend this trip!

Amazing time! - Just book it, you will not regret it! The captain and crew were absolutely amazing and so accommodating. We were very fortunate to get stuck in “whale jail” where a family of 3 humpback whales greeted us within a hundred yards and allowed for us to bask in all their glory.

Really fun day - Really fun. For wind reasons we didn’t go to the crater but still snorkeled and saw lots of fish and turtles. Was able to see too many whales to keep count. The food was good and the crew took care of everything.

Disappointing experience - Ok, so I booked this tour because a friend who has been to Maui a bunch said Molokini Crater was a must do. I found this tour that combined Molokini with swimming with turtles at Turtle town & it was aboard a yacht for only a bit more than other tours! Soooo the reality of this tour was not quite what was advertised. The day we went we were told the wind gusts were so bad that we couldn’t go to Molokini Crater OR Turtletown. We did get to snorkel at one area & saw 1 turtle but honestly, this trip was supposed to be the highlight of our trip & we didn’t get to go to either location. I understand that we can’t control Mother Nature but it was disappointing & honestly a TON more money than I would have normally spent. My daughter was incredibly upset but we did see a TON of whales which was awesome! But try speaking logic to a grumpy teenager. As to the yacht, perhaps it was just my naivety but I expected SO MUCH MORE. When I think yacht, I think what the billionaires use, this, in my opinion was not a yacht (I’m not sure the official definition of one) but it had bench seating, and was pretty basic but it was very clean. They will ask you to remove your shoes for the entire trip fyi and I would usually have an issue with this but it was spotless! I also envisioned private freshwater showers (again, I’m probably naive) but these were right in the main area after getting out of the water. They were incredibly warm & it was wonderful after freezing in the early morning temperatures!! Overall, I probably would not book this tour again. The staff was friendly & nice but didn’t make up for the disappointing experience & I would personally just call this a boat tour not a yacht.
