Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Cruise with Food & Open Bar - Pride of Maui

Best experience of Maui!

Reviewed by: Justin Daniels

My wife and I had never gone snorkeling before, and during our honeymoon, we had planned many activities, but this was the one we weren't sure how it would turn out. We decided to do the snuba diving, and our instructor was amazing. He was laid back and helped encourage us when we were first nervous in the water. After a few minutes, everything got easier, and before we knew it, it was time to come up. We were also able to snorkel at Turtle Town, and got to swim by a sea turtle, and that was a super unique experience. Of all the things we did in Hawaii, this is the one thing that I would be sure to do again when we come back.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Dolphins Snorkel & BBQ

Reviewed by: Kathy Donahue

It was a beautiful day in May 2015. From the start the crew were very helpful, their #1 concern was always their passengers safety. We saw spinner dolphins and bottlenose dolphins on 3 occasions 2 time on the way to Lanai and once going back. They took us to sweetheart cove (I think that was the name) and it was beautiful. The 2nd snorkeling spot was by a broken down pier and we saw a diver holding a octopus - amazing. We also saw plenty of colorful fish and sea turtles. The crew never stopped - the started making lunch as soon as we got on board from the first snorkel and were helping everyone on and off the boat. Very friendly. We would definitely go back. I would recommend this to anyone coming to Maui!

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Maui to Lanai - Dolphin Watch & Snorkel BBQ Lunch Cruise (from Lahaina Harbor) / 2-for-1 Review Rebate Special

Reviewed by: Gloria of SFO,CA

What an awesome experience!!! Was the best because my fear of water had lessened. When me and my friends were talking about this cruise I was speculating because of my fear. But for the sake of friendship we did it. No turning back. Booking was easy. We booked Thursday and luckily there were available slots the next day which was our last day of fun moments in Maui.
At the Lahaina harbor, we were met by a nice and jolly gentleman who helped us at the entrance. Before we got into the ferry, Lily the captain welcomed us and gave us some information and instructions. As soon as we entered the ferry, breakfast was ready. No worries of getting hungry. Then Lily gave us more instructions and reassured everyone that they will help and guide us all the way. The words of assurance from Lily, Robin and Cody made me even more comfortable.
Finally we reached our first stop at Lanai. Everyone was already jumping into the water while me and my friends were just standing at the stairs because this was our first time. And the water was kind of rough and my fear was kicking me. Then came Robin who helped and guided us with the board. Robin did a good job teaching and guiding people in the water. The same thing with Cody. The first time I dipped my head into the water, all I was saying was WOW!!! Underwater is really amazing. I was so full of joy because finally I got to see live corals and fish swimming in their own world. I was so proud of myself. At that time, I told myself I need to get over this fear and need to learn how to swim so I will be able to explore and enjoy the habitat of fish.
This is an experience that will remain in me forever. I surely will do it again and hopefully I will be a good swimmer by then. It's worth doing it.
Thank you Lily, Robin, and Cody for doing a good job. You are all wonderful people.
M A H A L O!!!

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Great Snorkelling And BBQ. Saw dolphins and turtles!

Reviewed by: Rob

We went at the end of the season and had a great time! This was our second snorkelling trip with these guys sop can recommend very much. The first snorkelling spot was right out at Lanai and saw many many interesting fishes :)

On way back to Lahaina the eagle-eyed captain spotted a couple dolphins and slowed down for them to swim next to us. First time seeing a dolphin and it was great!

Second spot was back up the shore from Lahaina at an old collapsed pier overgrown with coral. There was even a couple turtles swimming about, and again my first time seeing those!

All in all we had a great morning snorkelling and the BBQ was simple but delicious! Would go again should be ever make a third trip to Lahaina!

I would like to share with you my wonderful experienced with Maui to Lanai Snorkel adventure. First of all the Captain Lily is very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. Lily explained about our tour and made sure that our safety comes first. There were 2 other staffs, Robin and Cody, who helped served us Continental breakfast such as muffins, juices, healthy food bars and fresh fruits. Breakfast were enough and refreshing.
Our first stopped was at the coast of Lanai. It was our first snorkeling experienced. The water was a little rough and I was scared. Captain Lily made sure that Robin were there to helped us. We were able to see underwater corals and some fish. Robin and Cody were there to helped us and made sure everybody were having fun and feels safe.
Our next stopped was near The coast of Lahaina. The ocean was calmer and some passengers had fun snorkeling. We saw a few Turtles, that was really exciting. We did not see any Dolphin at this time, better luck next time. It was a very pleasant and relaxing day.
Captain Lily cooked some barbecue such as chicken fillets, hamburgers and hotdogs. Lunch were delicious, we made our sandwiches. There were macaroni and potato salads and condiments. They also served some alcoholic punch. We were very satisfied with the food and there were plenty of cold bottled water and sodas.
Captain Lily, Robin and Cody were very good in making our trips enjoyable and memorable.
My friends and I had an Amazing experienced. We took a lot of pictures and selfies. I would recommend this tour to all my friends.
Thank you very much to Captain Lily, Robin and Cody for a job well done. Hope to see you again, whenever I come to visit Maui. Aloha and Mahalo!

Quality Activity!

Reviewed by: Alex

This snorkel cruise was such good fun and definitely worth it! The captain took us to the spots where he thought were the best and he took us to another spot when he was informed that the original place was no good, which is impressive to still give us the chance to snorkel. We were fortunate enough to see whales, dolphins and turtles along with the coral and fish. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. They provided floatation devices for anyone who wanted one, and also a snorkel lesson for the first timers. There was a fun slide off the top deck into the water which was very cool! We would definitely recommend this activity to anyone (but make sure you have something for seasickness).

The Maui to Lanai Snorkel Trip was awesome and definitely value for money! The staff were all super friendly and helpful from the moment we got on board. The boat was lovely with table and chairs on top and a lovely deck around the outside. We really appreciated that the captain took us to another location when the seas were too rough to snorkel in the original place, and we still got in 2 locations to snorkel. The staff were very informative about snorkelling and there was options to take floatation devices out on the water with you, good for first time snorkelers. The lunch was a great BBQ with different meats and options. There was also a slide off the side of the boat which was awesome! Would definitely recommend!

Relaxing day on the water

Reviewed by: JoZippinMaui

We woke up early and lined up at the harbor to check in for the cruise. The Captain and crew introduced themselves and explained the rules (three points of contact, breakfast and lunch will be served, dive with a buddy, and snorkeling gear will be provided). Once we boarded, the captain kept us apprised of where we were going, what we were seeing and how long it would take. At one point, we saw a group of whales. The Captain stopped the boat and explained that we were watching a mother whale and her new baby. We were also told that the two males following the mother were fighting for the attention of the mother. We then went on to snorkel in two spots. All gear was provided, including masks, snorkels and floating devices. A couple of crew members stayed in the water to watch the group and to point out interesting fish and turtle populations. Overall, it was a great morning and afternoon. And the food was good, too.

Lanai Snorkeling Trip with my wife and kids

Reviewed by: BGalindo

First thing, the boat Captain Lilly and her crew of Cody, Robby, and Robin made us really feel like we were part of there family. They were very attentive to everyone. On the trip besides my wife were our 3 children ages 13, 11, & 7. As we left the harbor and headed out on our very spacious boat, we had some breakfast treats and were fortunate enough to see some whales on the way to Lanai too. As we got halfway across the Bay, Mother nature provided a little wind but the Captain and crew took us to Sweetheart Rock which was very calm and beautiful. After we spent an hour or so there, we headed off to another location and were greeted by a pod of spinner dolphins. That was a great treat as the boat allowed for easy viewing, and as a matter of fact, you felt like you could reach in the water and touch them. As we cruised back to Lahaina we again came upon some more whales, this was truly a magical experience seeing these giant animals up so close. Our final snorkeling spot was just outside of the harbor and we we entered the water, the kids were able swim along with the turtles. The kids were blown away as this was there very first trip the islands and there very first snorkeling trip. As we anchored down, we had had a very nice lunch and plenty of sun and scenery to take in. As we enjoyed the experience, one of the boat engine had trouble so we had to wait for a mechanic to check it out. That was really a blessing, as we had extra time to snorkel and soak in the views. The entire family was actually happy to have the delay as we got some spend extra time on the boat and in the water....We could have stayed all day. The next time we are back Maui, we are going to do it all over again....

Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks

Disappointing

Reviewed by: Jerry

Advertised as a catamaran, may have been in the truest sense...but not a sail or mast on the boat. Unable to go to Molokini due to high seas(6' swells), took us to a site a mile away from the harbor.

I understand the reasoning for not going to the atoll, however, a chance to get off the ship and get a refund were never offered.

All was not lost, hence the reason for not demanding a refund or a rescheduling, the crew was attentive, polite, and amusing. The relocation for snorkeling was quite nice with some beautiful fish.

Ultimately, I would not book again...sorry.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

The crew was awesome.

Reviewed by: Telma Chicas

As we walked up to the harbor the staff was friendly and guided us in the right direction (since there's several different boats departing near each other) Right from the start the captain was very friendly. She introduced herself as well as her staff. As you get on the boat the captain explains to you what stops we will be making and exactly where we will be snorkeling. Unfortunately for us the first stop (right in front of lanai) was too windy so we had to go straight to our second stop. On our way there we saw a baby humpback whale with her mama whale. We stayed at our snorkeling spot for about half an hour to 45 minutes. We saw plenty of fish but unfortunately there were no turtles. Either way the view was very beautiful. On our way back to maui (from lanai) we drove right next to a pod of dolphins and that was probably the highlight of the trip for me. It was amazing seeing all the Dolphins jump out of water and they were very close to us!!! . As we saw the Dolphins and the whales, the captain would give us some info about them and she was very informative. The crew was helpful with making sure everybody was comfortable. They cook hot dogs and hamburgers for lunch and it was pretty yummy. It's a little bit hard to walk on the boat so the crew helped us take our food to the table, they walk around to pick up the trash, they hand out snorkel gear for those who need it, and the captain instructs us on how to dive in and where to snorkel. They also passed out some cookies after everyone ate and those cookies were delicious. They also offered complimentary beer or cocktails for those of age. Overall it was an awesome experience with awesome people. I would definitely recommend it. Some of the people got a little sea sick so I definitely recommend taking something before getting on the boat for those who have sensitive tummies.

I participated with my 8-year-old daughter. Since diving was still too much for her, we opted for snuba. My daughter dove into the sea without a care in the world and seemed very satisfied. Unfortunately, the water temperature was low, so it was a bit chilly after we got out, but the kind service from the staff made us forget the cold. There was more than enough food for breakfast and lunch, and the attentive service took care of everything while we just sat there.

Additionally, we were pleasantly surprised to see a whale, and we encountered countless dolphins, with the added bonus of them jumping at the front of the boat. We were blessed with good weather, and everything was absolutely satisfying.

I found the excursion very fun. The best part about the trip was the amount of information that we all learned from our crew members. The amount of whales we saw was incredible, and how Captain Lilly put the attention of the boat on the whales and spinner Dolphins that were close by. She told us what was happening and taught us some very cool things that she was clearly very passionate about. I found the other crew members very helpful as well, they were always offering us help with anything that we needed. I felt very safe on the boat and as well in the areas we snorkelled, which was thanks to the crew members putting our safety first. I thought our crew members did a very excellent job at making our trip a very enjoyable learning experience.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

The best snorkel trip ever!

Reviewed by: Traci & Shawn W

Our family returned from Maui less than a week ago. We squeezed in a lot of outings and adventures in our time there, but the 7 of us all agreed the snorkel trip was by far the highlight of our vacation! We have been on a few other snorkel excursions over the years, but the Dolphin Watch & Snorkel BBQ Lunch Cruise far exceeded our expectations. We were very fortunate that there were only a couple dozen people on the boat so it was quite personable. We were greeted warmly with a light breakfast of fruit and pastries. Weather wise, we could not have picked a better day!
We had anticipated to see some whales, but WOW is all I can say! Capt Lily was genuinely as excited to see the things we saw even though I'm sure she's seen them all dozens of times before. She was very knowledgeable and stopped often, positioning us for the best viewing as the whales were so active. We also saw spinner dolphins which was exciting. We boated out to Lanai and had the opportunity to snorkel in two different places. At our first stop the kids saw numerous fish and were lucky enough to see a sea turtle! Our second stop was at Sweetheart Rock where there were a ton of different fish. The boat had a slide that a few people took the opportunity to enjoy.
The staff was extremely friendly and professional and went out of their way to ensure everyone was comfortable. They had noodles and boogie boards for those that weren’t strong swimmers. There were always a minimum of two staff in the water with us, often more.
We were treated to a lunch BBQ’d right on board! We enjoyed burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, fruit, chips and alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages. One of our kids is a vegetarian, and they were able to accommodate her with a veggie burger without prior warning.
The total excursion was 6.5 hours and flew by! Everyone enjoyed every minute of it and we will all have great memories for years to come! Thank you to the wonderful staff for making our day truly memorable!

Molokini is not as stunning a snorkel spot as some say: there's only a select variety of fish and there's no impressive coral reef. The water is very clear though. But there are definitely much better snorkeling options elsewhere to be found.
We had a muddy water day for Turtle Town sadly, but I got to see a turtle nonetheless, which was nice.
The tour organisation was class though, well-spirited. Breakfast was decent, lunch was very good. And there were a lot of whales to be seen! I must say that even with Molokini not completely living up to its reputation I had a good fun day. Time well-spent.

Motion sickness medication and a wetsuit are essential. 酔い止めとウエットスーツは必須

Reviewed by: ちょっぷ

We participated as a couple on November 20, 2014. There were only one other Japanese couple besides us, but the Japanese staff member Takako was very attentive. She provided careful assistance with everything from the boarding process, snorkeling gear rental, diving into the sea, to the meals. The water clarity was amazing, and you could easily see the seabed. There weren't many fish, but I think it was sufficient for those who haven't experienced scuba diving. We were also able to see sea turtles. At Black Rock, we could only see "floating" turtles, but here we saw "swimming" turtles. The meal was delicious hamburgers, and beer and Mai Tais were all-you-can-drink. On the way back, we also enjoyed some cookies. It was a wonderful tour, so I highly recommend it to those who haven't experienced it yet.

For those participating in the tour, I think it's important to keep the following points in mind. It's better to have motion sickness medication. Both my spouse and I got seasick... I underestimated it because there weren't many mentions of seasickness in other reviews. Next, it's better to bring or rent a wetsuit. Honestly, the sea is cold. Having a wetsuit makes it much warmer. You can borrow goggles and fins when you receive them (I think it was $10), so it's okay if you don't bring your own. Also, I think there are some jellyfish (we both got stung), so it could serve as protection.

Regarding transportation, it was fine. I felt that many other tours had local meet-ups, but this tour provided proper pick-up (we stayed at the Westin). The other participants were a couple from America and France.

Finally, my experience: the foreign participants were very kind, and I had a lot of fun with them, for which I am very grateful. They helped me with translation when boarding (from difficult long English sentences to short broken English). They also took care of me when I got seasick... I don't think you can have such experiences on a tour with only Japanese participants. If you're coming to Maui, I think such experiences are great.

The tour is mainly in English with many non-Japanese participants, but staff member Takako provides explanations in Japanese, which is reassuring. Breakfast is light with cakes, sweet bread, and fruits, but there are plenty of drinks available, and lunch seemed delicious (I couldn't eat due to seasickness!). You can choose one item from several options like hamburgers and hot dogs. Drinks like cola and beer are plentiful. There are separate restrooms for men and women. There are also three types of floatation devices, which is comforting. The boat is fairly large, but three Japanese participants turned green from seasickness, so it might be a good idea to take medication beforehand. Overall, it was very good, but one downside was that the docking location was at the far end on the left side of the harbor, and there was no explanation, so I had to search around. During busy times, the parking lot is at the aquarium above the harbor. In December, the weather seems to be bad, and we couldn't go to Molokini due to strong winds, so we went to a different spot, but everyone seemed to have a good time.

日本人以外が多く、英語が主のツアーですが、スタッフのタカコさんが日本語で丁寧に説明してくれるので安心です。朝食はケーキや甘いパンとフルーツで軽くですが、飲物は十分出してくれますし、ランチは美味しかったようです。（私は船酔いで食べられず！）
ハンバーガー、ホットドック等、数種類から１つ選びます。飲物はコーラ、ビール等十分にもらえます。トイレは男女別に１つづつあり。浮具も３種類あり、安心です。まずまず大きい舟ですが、日本人は３人船酔いで青い顔になりましたので、薬飲んで行ったほうがいいかも。とても良かったのですが、１つ難点としては、舟の停泊場所がハーバーの左手一番奥で、説明がなかったので探し回りました。混み合う時は駐車場はハーバーの上にある水族館のところを使います。１２月は天気が悪いようで、モロキニは強風で行けず、別のポイントとなりましたが、みなさん楽しそうでした。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ ＜朝・昼食付／現地集合＞

Be cautious as it is affected by the weather. 天候に左右されるので要注意

Reviewed by: 千とルイスの神探し

We participated on a boat that can accommodate over 100 people, mixed with American and other foreign tourists, with only six Japanese participants including us. The person in charge was a Japanese staff member named Takako.

Since my husband and I live in the United States, we had no issues communicating with the American guests, but the attentiveness and thoughtfulness of the Japanese staff are exceptional. Once again, Takako's "attention to detail" service and advice were very helpful. However, since the Japanese staff also care for other guests, they cannot be with you the entire time.

As the only one in the group who was delayed due to the snuba experience, Takako personally took me to the location of the sea turtles, and I was able to see several of them.

The snuba experience lasted only 30 minutes, and I was paired with a woman from a Korean group who had an extra spot. Because of this, I felt that the experience was not worth the price for just 30 minutes. My husband was also supposed to participate, but although he has fully recovered from a past lung surgery, he was told it was "not allowed without a doctor's note," so he had to give up. I was dissatisfied that there was no prior information provided, as we could have made arrangements if we had known in advance.

Aside from that, we did see whales swimming alongside the boat. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to Molokini due to high waves, and we ended up snorkeling at a different location. It couldn't be helped, but there were few fish, and the water wasn't very clear.

It was good to have Takako with us, but other than that, it may have been below expectations.

100人以上乗船できる船で米人とその他外国人観光客に混ざって参加、そのうち日本人参加者は私たちを含め6人のみ。その担当をしてくれたのが日本人スタッフのタカコさんです。
私たち夫婦は米国在住なので言語的には米人対応でも問題ないのですが、日本人スタッフの気遣い、心配りは最高だからです。今回もタカコさんの「かゆいところに手が届く」サービスやアドバイスは役に立ちました。ですが、日本人スタッフも他のゲストのケアもするのでつきっきりではないです。
グループでただ一人、スヌーバ体験をして出遅れた私をタカコさんが個人的にウミガメの場所まで連れて行って下さり、何匹も見ることができました。
スヌーバ体験はたったの30分で2人1組で韓国人グループで参加していて一人余っていた女性と組になり、その人たちと一緒に行動しなければならなかったこともあり、30分だけの体験だけの料金としてはそれに見合う価値がないように感じました。実は夫も参加予定だったのですが完治しているものの昔肺を手術したことがあり、「医者の診断書なしでは不可」と言われ断念。前もって言ってくれればそれなりに対応できたのに前もっての情報提供がなかったことが不服でした。
それ以外は、ボートに並行して泳いでいた鯨もしっかり見ました。
残念だったのは、波が高いということでMolokiniには行けず、別のロケーションでのシュノーケリングになったことです。しょうがないけど、魚も少なく、水もあまりきれいではありませんでした。
タカコさんがいてくれたからよかったけど、それ以外は期待以下だったかも。
