I was with my daughter and her family for a week and they insisted I join them on their snorkeling adventure. While I didn’t actually do any snorkeling, I did enjoy sitting on the boat and watching everyone in the water. It was a 5 hr trip, from 8 am to 1 pm. Continental breakfast was available upon leaving the harbor, and then around 10:30 they set up lunch downstairs in the main cabin. Hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hotdogs, chicken breasts and assorted condiments and pasta salad were included in the fee. At 11:30 the bar was open and you could get mixed drinks and beer. The first snorkeling spot was off Molokini and we were there about 60 minutes. From there we traveled to Turtle Town, which is actually right off the beach at the Grand Wailea. I think we anchored there for about 45 minutes. The crew was terrific. Friendly and knowledgeable. All safety precautions were taken to ensure that all the guests were prepared with the knowledge they needed to snorkel comfortably. There was also a brief lesson in SNUBA for those guests who were interested in trying that instead of snorkeling. This was a great way to spend half a day, out in the open water, a cool breeze while enjoying all the gorgeous views of Hawaii.

Let me be clear, Molokini crater or Caldera is only one of three on the planet, do you know the other two? See the answer at the end of my review! I am telling you from experience that this is a must do activity if your ever visiting Maui and can swing it. The fish and coral at the crater are worth it for sure. On our latest trip 7/14/19 we ran into some bad weather! Please be advised that any big swell or hard winds will not be the best conditions for first timers and people that want a relaxing experience on the trip. Just to be clear we were staying in Kapalua and had a 38 minute trip to the Maalea Harbor to get to the boat. Its good to take a little extra time getting down to the harbor due to the two lanes and any beach traffic in the event the swell comes up. So why is that, well to be honest when in Hawaii in general and the waves come, or the swell comes up, you can expect the locals to come to the beach. That means lots of surfing and camping there. That was the case on this day, we should have listened to the NOAA on the smart phone to know the swell was up. We headed to the harbor and parked by the upper Aquarium parking lot, its a good 15 minute walk to the boat so I suggest driving to the boat slip location and drop your passengers and gear. The driver needs to take the rental car back to the aquarium and park, then walk back to the boat slip. You can save five minutes by slipping between the Aquarium and the the restaurants above the harbor. We got under way and we knew after leaving the jetty that it was rough weather for snorkeling the crater. Make sure to have a ginger drink if the motion of the ocean cause you any discomfort. So our skipper Makaha and first mate Jesse and helper Lindsey did a fine job keeping it real and safe. We were able to hang in the crater for a good 40 minutes in water. The skipper and crew thought it was getting to rough and called all the snorkelers back to the boat. Keep in mine that boarding the swim ladder in big swell can be a challenge, the crew did a good job getting all back on board with out anybody getting hurt. We up anchored and headed to Turtle Town in the protected waters below the clifts to have lunch and see some "Hono". It was mellow there and we had some water time. Its a short run back to the Harbor from here, so relax and enjoy the ride. We learned the crew works for tips so its good to do that in Hawaii for the workers om these types of excursions.Despite the weather we had a good time, we would do it again for sure! The skipper Makaha and first mate Jesse (from Alaska) and crew Lindsey did a good job in some hard weather, kept everyone safe and smiled the whole time. We would recommend this boat for future trips as its smaller and handles less passengers than Maui prides. Safe travels! Answer: Santorini in Greece was the number 2 Caldera.

The boat crew of the Pride of Maui was amazing! They were all welcoming and accommodating and made sure EVERYONE was good. For the reviewers complaining about not seeing very much, go to an aquarium. For those complaining the boat not going to Molokini due to weather, go on youtube to watch the videos instead. PoM is unable to guarantee the weather and they clearly state that in the description. Overall, it was a great trip, just hope that you'll have great weather and the fishes and turtles show up when you go.
