First rate excursion. Captain and crew were amazing. Highly recommend. Great food and bar area. Comfortable boat.
Our captain was funny, and his staff was super attentive to the guests’ needs. We were snorkeling for the first time, and the team was extra helpful in making us comfortable. The breakfast (muffins, pound cake and fruit) and lunch (burgers) were terrific.
Amazing boat, and crew. Felt like family the second I stepped aboard. We will definitely book with them again.
The ride was so smoothe, the captain & staff were best hostess. The food were delicious. The bathroom was so clean!
Wow, Captain Justin, Savannah and the rest of the crew were amazing. The ship was awesome, the attention to detail was on point. These folks went out of their way to make sure everyone got what they wanted out of the trip! If you see looking for a smaller more private high end version of Molokini then this is it! Highly recommended and would book through them again in a heartbeat!
Super nice boat and experienced staff. They had all the tricks for successful snorkeling no matter what your experience is. Would highly recommend.
Over the years, my husband and I have done dozens of snorkeling trips. This was hands down - the best trip ever! Captain K - Sienna - Diego - and crew were fun - knowledgable - and attentive. We were traveling with our 11 and 13 year old grandchildren. They too had a blast. They felt safe - seen and haven't stopped talking about the trip yet. When anyone has asked them what the highlight of the trip to Hawaii was - the first answer is the Pride of Maui snorkeling trip. On top of seeing beautiful fish, corals and scenery, the food was also amazing. I recommend trying the grilled fish and slaw. Shout out again to a great crew. You will not be disappointed in this trip!
This was a wonderful experience that was everything that was advertised. The Eula is a beautiful boat (only about 2 years old). Plenty of room to relax on board in the cabin or on deck. The Captain and crew - Diego, Alaina and Cierra were all experienced knowledgeable and capable. The food (both breakfast and lunch was delicious and plentiful with an assortment of beverages. Alcoholic beverages were offered after all snorkeling was completed. Diego was in the water with snorkelers at all times for safety. Molokini is a truly unique site and experience. The turtle area had plenty of coral and fish. All in all a trip I would highly recommend.
The staff is very attentive, the food and drinks were all on point and the snorkeling was fantastic.
Everything about this excursion was exceptional! Captain Justin and the crew were so warm, friendly and the service was bar none! First and foremost, snorkeling on a beautiful yacht that was air conditioned, with exceptional top shelf bar and bartending service. Breakfast was available immediately upon boarding. When it was lunch time, they had a grill on the yacht and cooked for everyone. The crew ensured to pick the best spots for snorkeling and they did not disappoint. Such a beautiful spot with the dropped shelf and breathtaking coral reefs and tropical sea life. Beyond the amazing amenities, it was the crew that made the trip. The set the tone even before boarding. The cherry on top, co-captain, Kayden caught three beautiful Ono fish! Thank you captain Justin and crew for this once in a lifetime experience.
