Not worth $90+ a person. 7-9-15. It is more of a boat ride, not snorkel trip. First realize there are 2 different docs and boats for Pride of Maui (when you walk up you only see one sign for the main boat- if you are on the Lahaina boat, walk to doc 70- we made that mistake, the sign and staff were unclear). They wait till you pay (days before) and get on the boat (Lahaina boat), then tell you they aren't/can't go to Molokini. Then sailed 1 hour (from Maalaea) to Lahaina to snorkel (might as well driven myself to Lahaina to snorkel). Afterwards sailed to Olowalu to snorkel (I could of driven off the coast and snorkeled for free). Breakfast is just fruit and bread. Lunch was ok- hamburger/chicken or beef or vegan, and a cookie. 8am-2pm, snorkeled for around 1 hour. We saw 1 turtle, some spinner dolphins during the boat ride, about 5 fish, and lots of rock/coral. The crew was nice. The boat was crowded (about 30 people) and had no place to sit (until people went up to the top deck, and even then it was weird sitting where other people had there stuff). Don't be a dumb tourist and pay such and expensive price for a boat trip. Ask your company how many times they have driven out to Molokini lately, yesterday? ect. Look at reviews. I would suggest driving to the different Bays up the Lahaina/west coast. There are plenty of FREE places to go. I would suggest not supporting the boat trips if they are too pricey, packed, and unfruitful. Consider flying to Molokina on a helecopter. Also, look for boats that are closer to Molokini (down in Makena or Wailea). **After snorkeling in Hanauma Bay on Oahu, Turtle town, Sharks cove, ect, this Maui "snorkel" experience doesn't compare. If you want a good snorkel experience, don't take a boat. (and don't pay the $10 offer for a wetsuit, you won't need it).
