Incredible! 1000/10 experience! - Captain Jack and Nicole were amazing, their knowledge, expertise and humor made this excursion so much fun. Nicole was so kind and got the little kids involved, Captain Jack kept us laughing. I would have paid double for this experience! We hung out in a pod of about 200 spinner dolphins and they showed off their babies and skills by jumping and spinning out of the water. It was truly breathtaking. I recommend this to everyone visiting the beautiful island of Maui. Mahalo!

You can't go wrong with this tour. - So much fun!!! It looked like we might not see any dolphin, so Captain Jack made the most of our tour. We took pictures in front of a blowhole, we had a longer ride than most tours and we learned alot of history. We had lovely snacks and we laughed alot. We rescued a bird and picked up some trash that had baby lobster on it. Finally, we had to turn back because of time. All of a sudden, there they were! We were so excited. It was a giant pod. There were several mamas and babies. It was great. We were late getting back but none of us cared, of course. I highly recommend this tour. The crew was great and they went above and beyond to make our day special.

Great day in the water - I'm kind of jealous of the person who saw hundreds of dolphins on her tour. We did the 5 hour trip and only saw about 3 bottlenose dolphins. At least we saw some. We did have a fun snorkeling trip. Captain Jack was a hoot, and the two naturalists, Bree and Nicole (I think) were so sweet. They had lots of good snacks waiting for us after snorkeling. It was a beautiful day and boat was great. I have been on many boats and catamarans over the past 20 years visiting, and maybe the day was calm but the boat was fast and steady, and there's no bad seat. It was low to the water which made viewing the dolphins even better. Thanks for a wonderful time.

An amazing day on the water! - An excellent experience from the time we arrived and were greeted by the crew until five hours later after seeing spinner dolphins and flying fish, snorkeling two areas filled with amazing coral formations and so many colorful fish- even a sea turtle and octopus! Snacks were great and the crew was so friendly and informative. Captain Jack, Jess and Sigh made the day one of our best on the islands. Highly tecommend

Hawaiian Ocean Rafting morning snorkel to Lanai - Captain Jack and crew, Nicole and Brie were wonderful. We joined them on a snorkel cruise to the Island of Lanai. It was not whale season, unfortunately, but we saw literally every thing else!! A monk seal 🦭, turtles 🐢, bottle nosed dolphins, spinner dolphins 🐬, flying fish, and lots of tropical fish 🐠. Captain Jack also brought up an octopus 🐙 and allowed us to touch it! Very cool how he suction cups to your hand as you touch him. Amazing experience all around. We have sailed with Captain Steve in the past, but he lost his home and boats in the 2023 Lahaina fire, so may not be back. Very sad. Please come to Maui and help tourism by supporting this great group of people! I highly recommend this rafting trip by Hawaiian Ocean Rafting🌺 Rebecca B

Excellent snorkel trip - The snorkel trip was amazing. We went to two different spots. On our way we saw spinner dolphins. The captain Darrell and his crew were great and very knowledgeable. If you’re prone to sea sickness I would error on the side of caution. Remember to bring your reef safe sunscreen.

Great experience worth the money - Our experience on the eco raft was full of memories that will last a lifetime!! Even though at first, the price may seem expensive for a tour, getting to go on a boat with an experienced and knowledgeable crew is worth every penny! Especially when you consider that we got to see and experience the wonders of Lanai. The crew was very good at explaining the rich cultural history of Hawaii as well as the ocean biology itself. Captain Jack, Sy, and Jessie were fantastic. There were light snacks served with an option to purchase lunch. I did not purchase lunch, but was able to bring my own food on the boat. No glass allowed FYI!!! Overall it was fantastic and I highly recommend this snorkel tour!

Snorkel Mania on Lanai - OPEN 4 BUSINESS. Captain Jack and the crew will have you explore Lanai like you have never seen. He puts the safety in the word fun and is a great storyteller. Good for singles, couples or the family. We had a blast and saw every fish on the chart plus flying fish. Really cool excursion!
