The boat was very nice my daughter enjoyed the slide. The service was great
They were very helpful of getting you ready to snorkel with all the equipment
They made the whale watching great you learned some great facts about the whales. They were very speedy in getting you a lot of snorkeling time made sure everyone was safe. It’s was great to go out in the afternoon because it was not crowded in the snorkeling spots. Great drinks and food . I recommend this tour to anyone even if your a family with littler kids .FUN TIME IN MAUI.

Overall impression of this company is outstanding. The trip itself was very professional. They are very safety oriented and make sure everybody on the boat is doing what they are supposed to do and all accounted for at the close of your snorkel adventure. The whale watching was very good as well. Beyond all the structure and safety of the trip is also the fact that they want you to have fun! They feed you great and drinks flow freely. Honestly this trip was one of the highlights of our time on Maui. I would highly recommend this to anyone, couples or families. Thank you for a great memory.

By far the best snorkel excursion we ever took. Safety was the Captain's first priority and it was greatly appreciated.
The Four Winds offers just about everything possible from small boats for children, life jackets, other floating devices, and under water camera rentals. The crew was awesome.
What to expect? A crew that knows how to have a great time. Don't worry if you forget something because honestly they have everything including wet suits and eco friendly sun screen. On the way to Molokini, we seen a double whale breech which is the best I have seen yet. The captain was very knowledgeable about whales and turtles and was quite funny as he cracked a few jokes along the way. Upon boarding breakfast was served. Later lunch and on the way back a few beers. Great way to end a fabulous day.
I would highly recommend this activity for couples or families. Can't wait to do it again next year.

The crew made sure everyone's needs/wants were tended to. I felt nauseated when snorkeling and swam back to shore and someone was in the ocean to help, then someone on shore removed my goggles and such, another staff member gave me ideas to "recover", and on the trip back, a different staff member found the best place for me to sit and sip some ginger ale. They engaged our young adult children and were fun loving - entertaining - and educational (about the sharks that were sighted) - plenty of food and drink.
All ages will enjoy this outing.

Had a really good time on the trip. The customer service was top notch; every employee was ready to jump to serve the customer. It was a very smooth ride to Lanai accompanied with juice, coffee, cinnamon buns, and breakfast sandwiches. You end on a pretty secluded beach, and while snorkeling the crew was great about being available if you needed help, but otherwise leaving you alone to see the sights. Lunch was grilled chicken and Asian noodles. On the ride back they serve ice cream and then open the bar. We saw whales on both the outgoing trip and the return, and the captain would stop to view them. The only part I thought that was less than stellar was the food quality. While certainly not bad, it just wasn't anything great. Also, the description makes it seem like they serve booze the whole time, but they don't open the bar until about the last hour of the trip. All in all a very fun experience and a great trip for families.

If you are looking for a snorkeling/whale watching experience, this is the one for you! All facets of the trip lead you to a perfect time on the water.
The captain took us to a beautiful spot for snorkeling located on a coral reef that had clear waters and many species of fish. It was our first time snorkeling. The crew taught us the basics, guided us while in the water, and shared how best to see the fish. Having a waterproof camera helped us capture the fun we were having as a family. We were sure glad we had it, especially when it came to the turtle sightings!
The boat, the Pride of Maui was well equipped with all the gear we needed, including multiple sizes of fins and snorkeling goggles. It was a comfortable boat, with storage under seats on the upper deck. Great views of the waters with whale sightings even during an off season. The slide is a must! You go zipping down and fly into the water! Never gets old!
The lunch was tasty, plump hotdogs and cheeseburgers were cooked over a grill and served warm with all the fixings. If you are a vegetarian and/or gluten intolerant, it’s best to call ahead to let them know so your needs will be covered. They are ready to make your lunch perfect for you if they have a heads up. There were several kinds of soft drinks and fruit punch along with alcoholic beverages for adults. The Miatais were the best!
All in all, a highly recommended choice for all ages!

This was a very great experience for me and my family! The servers on the boat were very kind and helpful. When we got to the place where we snorkeled I had a lot of problems with my snorkeling set and had to ask for a new one many times, they were still nice and helpful and wanted me to be able to snorkel with out any problems. We had 45 min of snorkeling time which was the perfect amount of time for me! I even got to see a turtle, which was a big plus. The BBQ was ok with limited options, but tasted good. On the way back we whale watched and saw several even though it was off season. The boat was clean and bathrooms were also. If we came back we would stay with Pride of Maui!

The boat they normally take you on was in dry dock, so we didn't get the glass bottom boat. Also the wind was too strong that day, so we didn't get to go to Molokini. ...Basically we didn't get either of the things that were advertised, but those were uncontrollable elements and not the fault of the business. They took us out north along the coast from Ma'alaea Harbor and stopped at two separate locations. We still saw some tropical fish and some coral, and the water was warm and wonderful. They grill up a delicious burger and hotdogs if you buy the option to eat lunch on the boat, which was only $8 extra per person if memory serves. The ladies on the boat were very friendly and learned everyone's names by heart. They helped with instructions on the flippers and scuba gear. A great time with really nice people. I would definitely do it again!! They advise going on the morning sail if you want a chance to get to Molokini. That's where the real beauty is!

Once we were aboard the Pride of Maui, the captain and crew made us feel right at home. We were lucky to see humpback whales just a few minutes into the trip. How exciting! The grilled burgers had our mouths watering but first, we had to anchor st Coral Gardens to snorkel. Lots of fish to see and the weather cooperated so it wasn't windy or cold. The slide on the boat was a great extra. The crew was always ready to help with any of our questions. All in all, we have a very good excursion with the Pride of Maui boat and crew. We definitely would book again.

We didn't get to either spots listed in the title of the tour due to weather. Maybe, in the future, they can offer a discounted 2nd trip so you can actually get to Molokini Crater. They don't offer that, so you get what you get. The "glass bottom" boat is also a deceiving description of this boat. Don't go based on this alone. The area we went was suitable for a relaxed first time snorkel. Lots of people, but my Mom still got first class treatment due to her fear of the new adventure. Heather ensured she felt comfortable in the gear and went into the water with her to get her comfortable to go off on her own! It was a very good experience, although I would not take a tour like it again. I would opt for something with less people on a smaller boat, for sure. If you choose to purchase the photos at the end, make sure you sought him out to actually take some pictures of you first or you will just have a lot of pictures of other people. The pics he took of my Mom are really good, although there are none of me while snorkeling. But, there were a LOT of people, so how could he possibly get pics of everyone.
All in all the boat was clean, the people were nice, and the snorkeling was really great! The food was pretty good, too.

新婚旅行で利用させていただきました。
基本のツアーとしては、モロキニ島の周辺でのシュノーケル+スヌーバ体験。
ここでは正直そんなに魚はいないなというのが正直な感想でした。
その後で海亀の出るスポットに移動して、追加料金でシュノーケルorスヌーバができるということでした。
最初は全部込みでの値段だと思っていただけにがっかりする気持ちもありましたが、結果としては2匹の海亀と一緒に泳ぐこともできましたし、それ以外にも偶然的な要素はあったかと思いますがイルカやクジラも船の上からですが見ることができたので満足のいくツアーになりました。
基本的にツアーのインストラクターも陽気な人たちだったので、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

今回0歳、6歳を連れてのツアー参加で不安もありましが、レンタカーにて船着き場へ。

ベビーカーで行きましたが手伝ってくれたり、シュノーケルしてる間も抱っこしてスタッフの方が面倒を見てくださったり、大変皆さん親切で嬉しかったです☆
6歳児はシュノーケル経験は豊富でしたが、深い海のシュノーケルは初めてで大変怖がっていましたが
二つ目のウミガメスポットから大興奮で楽しんでいました。
船に滑り台もついており、パパと6歳児はかなりテンション上がってました。
ランチも期待してなかったのですがバーガーが大変美味しかったです。
シュノーケル後はお酒も飲み放題!これは酒豪の私としてはかなり嬉しかったです!!
大人同士でも家族連れでもオススメです!

その日は私たちグループのほか1組しか日本人はおらず、でも外国からの観光客で、100人くらいは乗っていたでしょうか。
説明や放送は英語でしたが、日本人のガイドさんがいて、別途説明してくれました。
海でも私たちの為か、普段からいらっしゃるのか、ボードで出ていて危険がないか見てくれていました。
日本語で助けを求められるので安心でした。
モロキニ島に向かう途中から海の色が変わり、本当にきれいでした。
水深があまりないので、底まで見えました。
朝はフルーツとパン等の簡単な食事、昼はバーガーかホットドックです。
私的には大雑把な味ですごくおいしいというものではなかったです。
飲み物は、朝はグァバとコーヒー、それ以降はコーラとスプライト。別途水があるようでした。
帰りの船ではアルコールも出していました。
トイレは一応男女別にあり、シャワーも船の後方に簡易のものがありました。
手で押さえておかないといけないタイプだったので、背が低いと大変だし、長時間は使えないです。
残念ながら、その日を含む数日は、波が多くて濁っており、ウミガメがみられる場所には行けず、
モロキニ島で2回のシュノーケリングをすることになりました。(きれいだったけど)
マウイに行くなら、モロキニ島へは行くべきだと思いました。
