Our family of four (two teenaged daughters, myself and my husband) went on the Pride of Maui on Wednesday for snorkeling at Molokini Crater and Turtletown. The breakfast was quite good, everyone got a plate of half a croissant, a blueberry muffin, and some fruit, plus juice and/or coffee. We cruised over to Molokini where we spent close to 1.5 hours as the captain had corresponded with other boats and they'd decided we weren't going to be able to go to Turtletown because of the wind and surf. This was very disappointing, as we'd paid a lot to go on this trip which I chose because it offered snorkeling at both desirable sites. I know the weather often forces the captains to choose other snorkeling spots than the ones originally planned, we've done trips like this many times before with various outfits around the world. It was disappointing that we did not get a second snorkel site, that's the one major downside to this particular day. They served a hearty lunch with burgers, hot dogs, chips and cookies, with open bar after everyone was done snorkeling with pretty good mai tais. The crew were all working hard and so didn't seem to have much time to chat with the passengers, which was a little different than some other tours we've been on, where the crew would spend time talking with those on board. A good experience all around, just hope the weather cooperates next time a little more so people can get that second snorkeling stop to see the wonderful honu (green sea turtles) of Maui

Aloha and thank you for your comprehensive review. It’s always appreciated to hear from seasoned travelers who’ve been on other excursions like ours. The wind and surf have been challenging this past week. Your safety is our number one priority followed very closely by providing exceptional guest service and the best snorkeling possible. On days when the shoreline is experiencing high surf which prevents safe access to Turtle Town and other shallow reef locations, we are fortunate to have a location like Molokini Crater to count on. Snorkeling inside an ancient volcanic caldera is such a unique opportunity. The diversity of marine animals and exceptional clarity of the water contribute to the whole experience. You are correct that during times of inclement weather our crew are very focused on your safety and at times are busy making sure our snorkelers and passengers are safe, in and out of the water. Sometimes this heightened attention to the conditions and guest safety takes precedent over the time we otherwise spend socializing. The good news is that 90% of the time, the weather does cooperate and we do make it to two exceptional snorkeling locations. We agree that snorkeling with the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles is a wonderful experience.

Aloha and Thanks for sharing your amazing experience. We’ve been doing this for over 40 years and I can honestly say that this team we have now are the best of the best. We operate Maui’s largest Maxi Power Catamaran at just 60% of our Coast Guard capacity. This provides an unmatched level of service, at a relaxed pace, with lots of room on a spacious and stable yacht. Thank You so much for joining us and recommending others to do the same. We sincerely appreciate your references to us with words like top notch, amazing and awesome! It really makes us proud and inspired to continue providing the highest level of exceptional guest service possible.
