Kat Coda Review of Pride of Maui
I took two tours with this group. The whale watch...
I took two tours with this group. The whale watch and snorkel tour (3/5/18) was a serious disappointment. We spent almost 2 hours at the snorkel location anchored there and the rest of the time was spent commuting to and from that spot. The only "whale watching" we did was a very short stop on the way to the snorkel place where we saw 1 whale doing some cool things. We only watched it for <5 minutes and then headed off to the snorkel location. Because it was so short, and the tour was promoted as 2 hours whale watching and 1 hour snorkeling, I was incredibly disappointed to discover the rest of the time we burned just sitting at the snorkel location. Food was fine and the crew was nice, but don't book this tour expecting it to be a whale watching tour, it is a snorkel tour. My second tour with them was supposed to be Molokini crater and Turtle town snorkeling (3/7/18). Unfortunately due to weather we couldn't go to Molokini... and ended up going to the same place as the first tour! As if I hadn't seen enough of that place already. Can't really blame them for bad weather, but just felt like rubbing salt in the wound. Again, crew was fine, and I really liked seeing all the sea turtles up close, overall this was a less disappointing trip. 3 stars because the second trip I'd give 4 and the first trip I'd give 2.
