*** Amazing crew. Service was above and beyond!! - This trip was amazing. The instructions for arrival were clear, parking was easy, and most importantly the crew was amazing. This is a very new modern boat with many amenities. It was comfortable and spacious for our passengers. We first snorkeled at the crater where we saw the coral reef, octopus, fish, and eels. We had plenty of time in the water. The second stop was Turtle Town and it lived up to its name! We got to see numerous turtles which thrilled my boys. Finally, since we were at the tail end of whale season Captain Nate was good enough to actively search for whales on our return to the bay. We got lucky enough to see one and checked off a bucket list item!
Anyways, it’s hard to find better hospitality than what we experienced. Definitely a highlight of our week.

Best snorkeling trip - I felt like we were snorkeling in an aquarium. Beautiful! And the best crew ever. Very friendly, helpful and accommodating. They were prepared for everything. First time I’ve been on a boat where they cared about making sure you don’t get sea sick.

Amazing time on the Pride of Maui Elua - Our group of five adults had an amazing time on the Pride of Maui Elua , Molokini Snorkel tour! Here’s what stood out:
Exceptional Captain and Crew: The team worked tirelessly to ensure our snorkeling experience was safe, fun, and memorable. Their friendliness and dedication to our comfort truly enhanced the entire trip.
Luxurious Boat Elua: The boat was immaculate, especially the head (restrooms), and very comfortable. The easy-access swim steps made getting in and out of the water a breeze especially for us older adults.
Excellent Food and Drinks: The breakfast provided upon boarding was a great start. The BBQ lunch of hamburgers and chicken was delicious. The open bar after snorkeling was a treat—the Mai Tais were well-made and quite satisfying!
Fantastic Snorkeling: We had great visibility at Molokini and saw a wide variety of fish. Turtle Town was also incredible, with plenty of turtles. The time allotted at each location was perfect for enjoying the natural beauty of Hawaii.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone serious about snorkeling who also appreciates comfort and cleanliness.

Amazing Experience - Beautiful boat, wonderful crew and an amazing experience! Captain Justin and crew were incredibly friendly and helpful, there was nothing to stress about. The Elua is clean and well maintained. There was indoor seating and the upper deck had plentiful seating as well with great views on all sides. The crew was very attentive and clear of all expectations. We appreciated that the tour included light breakfast, lunch and cocktails! We were already talking about doing the tour again before it was even over. We were thankful to see a few whales even though the season is over. We were able to see plenty of fish and turtles. You spend about an hour at each location, which the perfect amount of time to enjoy what the ocean has to offer. We appreciate all of the efforts and thought that the crew gracefully displayed. We can’t wait to come back. 💜

Incredible and unique experience - This boat trip has been the highlight of our trip to Maui! There’s a reason this tour gets 5 star reviews. Captain Justin and his crew worked hard from before sunrise to ensure all of us guests had an unforgettable experience. The boat is immaculate, the food delicious, and the crew is friendly and hard working. There was a lifeguard in the water with guests at all times which put us at ease with our two children in the water. Recommend renting the wet shirts they offer. They kept us warm enough to stay in the water the entire time. We saw tons of fish and sea turtles. On the way back to the harbor we had a rare, late in the season, spotting of a baby whale. The captain took his time and made sure all guests had an opportunity to witness the beautiful sight. Five stars doesn’t do this tour justice. Book today - you won’t regret it!

They made sure to accommodate our every need! The bathrooms were impeccable and so clean all day! Snorkeling was great! Food and drinks were also great! I am not easily impressed by service but this team outdid themselves today!
