What To Expect

Snorkel at two exceptional locations aboard the largest Maxi Power Catamaran on Maui operating at just 60% of our Coast Guard capacity. Pride of Maui is the most stable, spacious tour boat, offering far more space per passenger, and unsurpassed guest service. Molokini Crater offers unparalleled visibility, and is a unique opportunity to visit 1 of only 3 sunken volcanic calderas in the entire world. Turtle Town is a unique series of underwater lava formations where Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles gather, and an opportunity to view these graceful animals in their natural environment. Both sites offer a wide variety of colorful tropical fish and other unique marine animals. SNUBA is also available onboard for *an additional charge*. Swim up close with beautiful marine life in a safe, controlled environment 15 feet beneath the surface, under the care of our expert Maui SNUBA instructors. With over 40 years of experience, we understand the needs of our guests and strive to exceed your expectations. We provide breakfast, lunch cooked onboard, and an open bar after snorkeling, featuring ice cold micro brewed beer, wines from Napa, and mai-tais. Kids of all ages, love our super water slide!

Really beautiful boat and great crew! We had so much fun! Lunch was delicious. We will do this trip again each time we come to Maui! Open bar after lunch but do yourself a favor and get a virgin cocktail. Drinking after a morning of snorkeling doesn't lead to a great rest of your day. Book with these folks, it's worth it.
Saw a turtle!

We went on this tour the first week of December. The advertising and information about the tour certainly made it seem like we were going to be able to see a variety of sea life, possibly turtles and possibly whales. We were not expecting to see whales but off in the distance, while traveling from the harbor to the crater, we did see some whales surfacing. When we arrived at our location, getting into the water was seamless and simple. The prep work was done well in advance and everyone was prepared. What wasn't as we were expecting were the fish. We were in the water almost 40 minutes and only saw some black surface fish swimming near the boat. The water was calm, we were grateful for that but there were virtually no fish to see. We aren't sure if that was because so many other boats were also in the area, plus people diving and others doing Snuba, but there were a few hundred people all in one area looking for fish. This was tough with kids because they had high hopes of seeing colored fish swimming around as they snorkeled. We got out of the water, got warm in the sun and began making our way to Turtle Town, the second part of the trip. In route, lunch was served and again, this was efficient, well organized and the food was good! We arrived in the area where snokeling for turtles was happening and again, getting into the water was simple and we were able to move around easily. What we expected based on information we read was that this area had plentiful turtles and other colorful fish. We were able to see some different fish here, more than the first place we stopped, but they were also not plentiful. We saw one sea turtle swimming about 20 yards from us, he was headed out to deeper waters, but we were glad to see one. Unfortunately after seeing that one, no other turtles were around. Clearly the crew and captain can't control the fish - it's part of nature. If we went again, we would try for a different location or possible a different time of day. The crew and the food were great, but the fish were a little disappointing.
Worth the money

The entire trip was really nice, the staff was super friendly and attentive and there were lots of extras, that made the day, like a warm meal for lunch, pool noodles to float in the ocean and a freshwater shower to rinse off afterwards.
Great for kids first time snorkeling!
