This was a very nice and romantic evening. We loved the food and atmosphere. It was a tad bit windy for flowey dresses, but several areas to get out of the wind if necessary.

I highly suggest taking this fishing cruise! Not only was the Captain and crew very knowledgeable on all the types of fish, the Captain put us in the perfect spot so that practically everyone on board caught at least one fish. I myself caught 4, and two of those were keepers. They were all cleaned and ready for me when we departed the boat and I was even given the perfect way to eat them. What a fun time!

All of the staff were extremely helpful and made this experience really wonderful. I had not signed up for snuba initially, but after getting on the boat my Mom and I decided we would really love to have that experience - and Justin the snuba instructor made it happen for us! I am completely hooked what an amazing experience, Justin couldn't have been more attentive to the group and made sure we saw all sorts of things - eels, octopus, fish you name it! Turtle town was a little rough once we got there due to weather but still managed to see at least three turtles!! I did get motion sick intermittently but the staff had this great fresh ginger drink kept me going so I could enjoy as much snorkeling as I could handle. Would definitely do this again, might even go get scuba certified now!!

As a mature couple, we had a wonderful experience that brought us back to our childhood after a long time. The views from the boat to Molokai Island were stunning, and we spent a refreshing and enjoyable time. As mentioned in other reviews, the Japanese female staff were very considerate, which made our first snorkeling experience fun. Although I thought $45 was a bit pricey for the professional underwater photos, I ended up purchasing the CD. The photos were definitely more impressive than what I could have taken myself.
熟年夫婦ですが、久しぶりに童心にかえって素晴らしい体験をしました。モロカイ島までのボートからの景色も素晴らしかったし、心洗われるような楽しい時間を過ごしました。他の方の口コミにもあるように、日本人の女性スタッフの方が良く気遣ってくださるので、シュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、楽しく体験出来ました。水中での写真をプロの人が撮ってくれるので45ドルとちょっと高いとは思いましたが、そのCDを購入しました。自分で撮ったものよりさすがにすごかったです。

We have wanted to snorkel the Coral Gardens for a number of years and found that the trip aboard the Four Winds would not only take us there but at one third the price of our usual snorkel trip supplier. The food was great and the staff friendly and helpful. The only thing I would recommend is warning their customers not to touch the turtles.

Overall and enjoyable day. Catamaran was nice and comfortable. Guides, chiefs and barman very good service. Snorkeling was fairly good, lots of sea turtles to be seen - guides very helpful in locating and ensuring everyone had a chance to view them. Unfortunately on the day we went we were unable to go to molokini due to rough waters - I was very disappointed about this as a big reason I booked this was to see the under water crator. The tour guides however did their best to accommodate for another spot. Breakfast, lunch dessert and alcohol were all served - food was good. I was pleasantly surprised about the amount of catering/alcoholic drinks that were provided given the length of the tour

We participated in a tour with a Japanese guide for our family trip, which included eight girls aged 5 to 80, as we had parents with mobility issues. There was only one other couple who were Japanese; the rest were foreigners.
Our guide, Miho, was very attentive and cheerful. She engaged in conversation with my parents on the boat and helped my mother, who was afraid of the sea, at a slow pace suitable for the elderly. It was a great help. The children were more focused on jumping off the boat and the slide rather than snorkeling. Onboard, we also enjoyed unlimited Hawaiian beer, sampling three different types, so there were plenty of ways to have fun besides the sea. Miho's stories were enjoyable, so I highly recommend this experience.
下は5歳から上は80歳までの女子ばっかりの8人家族旅行。足の不自由な両親がいたので 日本語ガイド付きのツアーに参加しました。日本人は私たち以外にはご夫婦が1組いただけ。後は外国の方ばかり。
ガイドのミホさんは とても 気の利く 明るい方で 船内では 両親の話し相手になってくれたり 海を怖がる母を 手取り足取りゆっくり年寄りのペースで補助してくれたりと とても 助かりました。 子供たちは シュノーケリングより 船上からの飛び込みやスライダーに夢中。船内では ハワイのビールも飲み放題! 3種類を飲み比べたりと 海以外の楽しみ方も あります。ミホさんのお話も楽しいのでぜひオススメです。

We have been to Maui so many times but never had tried the sunset cruises that are available, and there are quite a few. But after some research we decided to try the Pride Of Maui Sunset Cruise, and we are glad we did. The crew were polite and made sure we were taken care of. The buffet was good, and the drinks were not watered down like some of the mass events we have been to. Chatted with the captain and got to ride along with him on the way back which made us feel like a part of the cruise as well. The views are spectacular and we were lucky to have almost a cloudless view the whole trip. We went in September and the weather was perfect.
I would highly recommend the Pride for your next adventure. Price was cost effective, and if you have kids they will love it.

On the day of the trip, the boat was fully booked with 149 passengers on board. There were few Japanese people, just us and one other group, but a female Japanese staff member was always attentive, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any worries. We were lucky with the weather, as there were hardly any waves, and being on a large boat meant it didn't rock at all.
The BBQ hamburger for lunch was delicious, and the cookies afterward made me feel like I was in America.
During snorkeling, we got to see the crescent-shaped Molokini Island, and at the turtle point, we encountered four turtles, one of which was right in front of us—it was truly moving! Even though I'm not a strong swimmer, I was able to enjoy myself without getting too tired by using the free floatation devices available.
If I have the chance to visit Maui again, I would love to participate again.
当日は、船は満席で、149人もの乗客が乗船されていました。日本人は少なく、私たちともう一組だけでしたが、女性日本人スタッフの方が、常に気にかけてくださって、不安なく、楽しむことができました。天候にも恵まれ、波もほとんどなく、大きな船なので揺れることもなかったのもラッキーでした。
昼食のBBQハンバーガーは美味しく、食後のクッキーはアメリカを感じました。
シュノーケリングではモロキニ島のクロワッサン型を目の当たりにし、またカメのポイントでは4頭のカメに出会うことができ、そのうち1頭はもう本当に目の前で見れて感動でした!
あまり泳ぎが得意でない私でも無料で借りれる浮き具を使って、そんなに疲れることなく楽しめました。
またマウイ島を訪れることがあれば、また参加したいです。

I had a very quiet and luxurious time that you can't experience on other islands... ☆
The cruise to Lanai offered a breathtaking view of the sunrise in the middle of the ocean.
It was truly a stunning sight, and it was worth it just for that!
The cinnamon roll served for breakfast was also exquisite!!!
I was anxious because I couldn't speak any English, but I enjoyed myself even though all the staff and customers were foreigners.

Unfortunately, the snorkeling spots are not close to the rocky areas, and there are only a limited number of fish. Those who have experienced snorkeling in places like Okinawa are likely to be disappointed. The view of the island from the boat along the way is not bad.

The crew of Four Winds provided a big group with a great experience. There was a lot of attention to passengers, a great meal, and a fantastic snorkeling experience. We were lucky to get out to Molokini, and though the waves got crazy in the crater everyone saw some amazing sea life. I also loved being able to use the prescription goggles which made my experience even better. I would do this again and again.

Very disappointing. We paid for a trip to Molokini. We were told that it was too rough to snorkel there. Instead, we were taken to Coral Gardens. What they didn't tell us was that Coral Gardens can be accessed from the beach off of Hwy 30. It was very close to the harbor and even though the water was clear, there were few fish. I felt as if I had been cheated. We spent over $100 each and expected to snorkel at the Molokin crater. We talk with some other visitors who went with a different company. They told us how wonderful it was. I don't recommend this company. We booked ahead. Next time we will book when we get to Maui.
Aloha John,
While we understand your disappointment at not going to Molokini, our web site and all of our literature does state that Molokini is weather dependent; our morning trips get there 95% of the time. Nobody offers a 100% guarantee as it is simply unsafe under certain conditions. As for Coral Gardens, it is actually not accessible unless you are on a boat. It is at the base of a very steep cliff wall and we go there because it is protected from the wind. Coral Gardens is actually listed in the top 10 snorkeling spots in the US by Conde Nast' (12 years in a row), Coastal Living and Travel & Leisure and most guests enjoy seeing the turtles you wouldn't see at Molokini.
We do hope you'll join us again and that we can get you to Molokini!
Mahalo,
Kelly

I snorkeled out at Molokini when I was 10 years old and was really happy to make it back 30 years later. I did notice a big difference in the reef and diminished marine life, however, and would suggest for the benefit of that particularly sensitive environment, that it be strongly suggested to guests to buy reef-safe suntan lotion.
That said, the captain was a riot, the staff was all very friendly, and the experience was well worth the money and time spent :)
Mahalo for the kind words! Eco friendly sunscreen is something we also highly recommend! We hope to see you again!
