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

Worth every penny! A "must do" in Maui

Reviewed by: Oregon Girl

What a wonderful adventure! We loved this 1/2 day snorkel trip to Molokini and "Turtle Town". It took nearly 4 days to convince my husband that we should go on an organized snorkel trip. I was tired of looking for great places to snorkel and knew the cruise would provide what we were looking for. Thanks to the wonderful crew, it was one of our most memorable days in Maui. Our boat captain was fantastic and the staff did a great job explaining the days events. Everything was well organized, timely and relaxing. We can't say enough great things about the delicious meals, cold drinks(alcoholic and non-alcoholic), breathtaking views, fish and turtles! As luck would have it, we even got to see a few whales. We enjoyed the experience and look forward to doing it again. Aloha!

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

Well done!

Reviewed by: Traveling Jewels

I was very impressed with our snorkel cruise. The food was delicious and the staff was very nice. Unfortunately, the water at Molokini was rough - so they substituted Coral Gardens instead. Turtle Town was great - saw several turtles. I liked how they posted someone over the area where best to see them - so you knew where to go. Coral Gardens was good as well. They offered wet shirts onboard for $10, which is nice if you get cold easily. They also offer Snuba for $58 - you get to do that for about 30 minutes. Best to reserve ahead as they only offer a limited number. I felt they really work hard to give you a great experience - while keeping safety in mind.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Great Maui day trip

Reviewed by: stroey

We had a great time on this trip - the crew were friendly and informative, the snorkel locations (2) were varied with clear calm water and the scenery along the way spectacular.

Unfortunately on this trip, no dolphins. However, the added bonus was at least 6 humpback whales, with one curious juvenile circling the boat and the crew provided in-depth information about whale migration and habits which enhanced the viewing experience. Amazing!

Only detraction for me was that I felt more information could have been provided around the snorkel portion (e.g. type of fish, function of coral reefs) and the islands themselves would have really enhanced the experience.

It was amazing. My wife and me went for snorkling for the first time and we don't know swimming. But still we enjoyed alot. The people in boat are so friendly and very helpful for us. They provided us breakfast, lunch and alcohol. All are good in taste. In between they are coming to us and asking for cookies like that. I need a prescription glasses of -5 they have provided that snorkel also. We felt really good at the snorkel place too. And main think i booked through Veltra.com, these people are really amazing, they are calling me before 1 day and making sure that i have this activity and letting me know where i have to check in and all details. I really liked this website. Even i have a time problem some how they are managing and scheduling to other day and finally making that activity happening. Really good website for activities booking and had fun in Snorkel too...

We are a family of five with 3 kids under 4.Call us brave or crazy,we wanted try snorkeling for the first time.All we have end of the day is a wonderful memory of our first snorkeling adventure.With a 4 year old on a wheel chair, we couldn't have asked for more.The crew was just fabulous.They also had super cool floating boards for kids which has a transparent area for viewing.kids could float with adults and they too can enjoy the ocean wonders. My 4 year olds were quite thrilled seeing the corals and turtles.I would call it a success adventure when every one in the family including the toddler had their own share of ocean fun and adventure.We had just enough time to snorkel on both the locations despite 3 kids and adults taking turns.Here again,it was the crew which made everything possible for us.If you wanna try snorkeling with small kiddos, my hands raise for this one!

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＞

It was really great! すごくよかったです！

Reviewed by: たかなみ

We participated on November 7th. My husband and I can hardly speak English, so we joined this tour because there was a Japanese guide. When we arrived at the port after requesting a pick-up, we found that we were the only Japanese participants, which made us quite anxious. To be honest, I was very mentally stressed and constantly nervous. However, on the boat, a woman provided us with guidance in Japanese and paid attention to us, which was a great help. She gave us a proper explanation of snorkeling and offered advice, and we were able to see sea turtles. The waters of Maui are truly beautiful, and the fish and coral reefs were so vibrant that they left a lasting impression. It had been 20 years since I last swam in the ocean, but my worries disappeared, and I was extremely satisfied. Unlike Honolulu, Maui may have fewer Japanese visitors, but if you have the chance to go, I definitely recommend participating. The waters of Maui are truly wonderful. If I have the opportunity to go to Maui again, I would love to participate once more. Thank you for the valuable experience and memories.

11月7日に参加しました。私たち夫婦は、ほとんど英語ができず、日本語案内があるということでこのツアーに参加しました。送迎をお願いし、港に到着してみると当日参加した日本人は私たち夫婦二人しかおらず、かなり不安な状態でした。っというかかなり精神的に追い込まれていて緊張しっぱなしでした。そんな中、船上で女性の方に日本語案内していただき、私たちに気を配ってもらったので大変助かりました。きちんとシュノーケリングの説明をしていただき、アドバイスもあり、海ガメにも会えることができました。マウイの海は本当にきれいで、魚も珊瑚礁も大感動するくらい目にも鮮やかでした。私は海で泳ぐことじたいが20年ぶりだったのですが、そんな不安も吹っ飛ぶくらい大変満足でした。マウイはホノルルと違って日本人が訪れることが少ないのかもしれませんが、もし行く機会があれば是非参加してみてください。マウイの海は本当に素敵です。またマウイに行く機会があれば是非参加したいです。貴重な体験そして思い出をありがとうございました。

Molokini Snorkel adventure

Reviewed by: Scott Muzzy

My wife and I had such a great time on this little cruise out to the Molokini crater. The crew onboard the Pride of Maui was outstanding and I was very impressed with their professionalism, enthusiasm and dedication to making all of the guests feel very welcome and comfortable with the activities on the slate. At no time did they ever shortcut the safety and well-being of anyone on the tour. I have snorkeled in a few other ideal locations around the world and this one definitely tops the list. The aquatic arena at the Molokini crater and at turtle town was amazing and we really enjoyed our experience. Many thanks to the crew and the terrific job they did.

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

Great Snorkeling Trip

Reviewed by: Tianxiong

This trip is a morning trip to Molokini and then Turtle town close to west Maui. The price is quite reasonable since it includes Cruise, continental breakfast, burger lunch, drinks with alcohol or non-alcohol, and snorkeling gears. It has snorkeling noodles and boards for those who are not good at swimming. They also have lifeguard, so pretty safe for this trip. The total snorkeling time is two hours: one hour for Molokini, and one hour for Turtle town.

Molokini is wonderful, many colorful fishes and coral reefs there. It’s the crater of a hidden volcano, of course extinct volcano.

The next stop is Turtle town, which locates close to west Maui. It’s hundreds meters off the shore. We see several turtles under the water. We followed a turtle and enjoyed swimming with it.

By the way, the scene from the cruise is fantastic. We have a broad overlook of Maui island and the valley in west Maui.

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

fulfilled our expectations

Reviewed by: rob

We have been on similar tours before so had some idea of what to expect. The boat was a little tricky to find (to the left of the main harbor entrance).
The crew were excellent, very professional, friendly and organised. They had a lifeguard in the water for the snorkeling, which makes this a great choice for families.
The snorkeling spots were very busy but we saw lots of great fish at Molokini, and we saw 4 turtles at turtle town.
The food was very simple, but they have a lot of people to feed so it needs to be.

Turtle Reef Kayak Tour in Maui - Snorkel with Sea Turtles at Makena Landing & Winter Whale Watching

Disappointed

Reviewed by: Allie

I booked the west side snorkel safari online and was initially booked into the wrong time slot due to a glitch in the system. This wasn't a big deal. They were very helpful in sorting this out and assured me that they were working on fixing the glitch. The morning of the tour however, I took a taxi out to the meeting point only to be told that the trip was canceled due to high winds (it seemed calm to me, but I'm not an experienced ocean kayaker) $55 later I was back where I started. To be fair, they did try to phone me, but I did not have my phone turned on because I was trying to avoid roaming charges. I do not feel that one attempted phone call is sufficient customer service. I would have appreciated an email (this is how I had been communicating with the company from the beginning). I would suggest that anyone booking a similar tour contact the office before you leave in the morning to confirm that it will proceed as scheduled.

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＞

It depends on the weather... 天候次第な面も・・・

Reviewed by: tarikky

We participated as a couple. Thanks to the care of the Japanese staff member Miho, we had no trouble at all in Maui, where we hardly speak Japanese. The other staff members primarily spoke English, but they were very friendly and considerate, making a genuine effort to ensure we had a good time, which was quite impressive.

On the day of our participation, we were blessed with clear skies, and both snorkeling and snuba at Molokini Island had excellent visibility. I highly recommend snuba, especially for those who have no issues with equalizing while diving.

However, regarding the next point for sea turtle observation, it can be canceled if visibility is insufficient due to weather conditions up to the day before (as mentioned in the description). Unfortunately, we had to miss that part, and we ended up snorkeling at almost the same spot as before.

There were two other groups of Japanese guests besides us, but as expected, we didn't interact much with them. Instead, we became quite friendly with the foreign guests, who were very approachable.

In summary, it was a very enjoyable experience, and above all, the cheeseburger for lunch was exquisite.

夫婦で参加しました。
日本語スタッフのみほさんのケアもあって、日本語のほぼ使えないマウイでも当日困るようなことはまったくないでしょう。
基本みほさん以外のスタッフさんは英語オンリーですが、非常に気さくで、こちらを気遣ってくれますし（仕事なので当然かもしれませんが）こちらを楽しませようと努力してくれているのはかなりの好感が持てます。

参加当日は晴天に恵まれ、モロキニ島でのシュノーケル、スヌーバ共に最高の透明度でした。
とくにスヌーバは潜水時の耳抜きが問題ない方には是非にもとおススメするくらいです。

ただ、モロキニ島の次のポイント（海亀観察ができるらしい）については、前日までの天候次第で透明度が足りなかったりすると中止です。（説明文にもある）
私たちもそちらは残念ながら中止になってしまい、最初とほぼ同じポイントでのシュノーケルタイムになりました。

私たち以外の日本人客はほかに2組ありましたが、当然といえば当然か、そのかたがたとはあまり絡みませんでした。むしろ外国人の方々が非常に気さくで、そちらと仲良くなったくらいです。

総括としては、非常に楽しい思い出になりましたし、なによりお昼のチーズバーガーは絶品です。

Lots of fun

Reviewed by: Laura

Kayaking tour guide was friendly and informative. He gave us simple directions for basic kayaking and we did well. We followed him away from the crowd up the coast to clearer waters. Saw all kinds of fish, he pointed out a turtle, and also gave us information about the islands. Just the right amount of time. We were also given juice. One item to improve upon is cleaner snorkels as our friend found hair on hers. Although we snorkeled near our hotel and saw as many fish and turtles we enjoyed this kayaking experience.

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＞

I was able to see sea turtles and butterflyfish. ウミガメにもチョウチョウウオにも会えました。

Reviewed by: エッチン

The 6:30 AM pickup was a bit sleepy, but once I got on the boat, I woke up. Last year, when I went snorkeling on the Big Island (Captain Cook), the water wasn't very clear and the fish weren't that great, so I didn't have high expectations this year. However, at Molokini, the water was quite clear and there were plenty of fish. There were several types of fish like pipefish and butterflyfish, so I was satisfied.

After about an hour, we headed to the next sea turtle point. I was worried that the water wouldn't be very clear and that I might not see any turtles, but fortunately, I was one of the first to get into the water and quickly encountered one. Since there weren't many people yet, I was able to enjoy watching it swim leisurely. I swam here for nearly an hour, but compared to Molokini, there were fewer fish, and the main attraction was definitely the sea turtles. Just when I thought it was almost over, the guide told us there was a turtle a little further away, so I hurried over and was able to see the second one.

I realized how glad I was to join the tour since I wouldn't have known the spots on my own. On the way back, I relaxed on the boat while enjoying beer and cocktails while watching the video the crew had taken.

朝６時半のピックアップはちょっと眠たかったけど、船に乗ったら目が覚めました。
昨年ハワイ島（キャプテンクック）でシュノーケリングをしたときには、水もあまりきれいでなく魚ももう一つだったので、今年もあまり期待をしていなかったのですが、モロキニ島は、結構水もきれいで魚もたくさんいました。パイプウニヤカワハギ系の魚、チョウチョウウオも数種類いて、まあ、満足。
１時間ほどして、次のウミガメポイントへ。水はあまりきれいでなかったので、ウミガメが見れるかどうか心配だったのですが、ほぼ一番乗りで海に入ったのが幸いで、すぐに１頭に遭遇しました。まだ、あまり人がいなかったので、ゆったり泳いでいる姿を堪能できました。ここでも１時間近く泳いでいましたが、モロキニに比べ魚も少なく、やっぱり目当てはウミガメ。そろそろ終わりかという時に、少し離れたところにカメがいるとガイドの人が教えてくれたので、全速力でそちらに向かい２頭目を見ることができました。
自分ではポイントなどわからないし、ツアーに参加してよかったと思った瞬間でした。帰りの船中では、クルーが撮ったビデオを見ながらビールやカクテルを飲んでゆったりできました。

I would give this 4 1/2 stars! My husband and I ended up getting a private tour because no one else signed up! Our guide was great (didn't give name)-he constantly was bringing things back up to the surface to show us and was very knowledgable about anything we asked about. I had a very personal and special experience with a female turtle while snorkeling and we saw some while kayaking, but I thought we would see more at the turtle cleaning station. Would recommend this to anyone with experience. The total time was good but we wish it could have been a little longer-our guide didn't want us to be on choppy waters. Our tour was around 3 hrs. They provide you with snacks and water. Our guide was snapping pictures for us and will e-mail them to us for free! Can't wait to see them! Mahalo to our guide and this company!!

Tip: After you are done, ask your guide about the Jaws Food Truck-delicious fish tacos and burritos with snacks and smoothies!
