Overview

Grateful to be whale watching this season from Lahaina, Maui!

Eye-level whale watching onboard our low-to-water small group rafts.

Native Hawaiian owned and voted TripAdvisors Traveler's Choice, Hawaii Ocean Rafting has been Maui’s original ocean rafting experience for more than 30 years. Our small group tours make for a fun, family style experience. Although whales are protected in Hawaii, they often approach our small boats for closer and eye level whale encounters.

Off season (Summer) join us for 2 Hour Dolphin Watching Tours.

We are just a short drive from Kaanapali, Kahana, Napili, Kapalua and other West Maui accommodation. And a fun destination for visitors staying in Kihei or Wailea.
