Experience eye-level whale watching or summer dolphin watching aboard our intimate, low-to-water zodiac rafts.

Hawaii Ocean Rafting, a Native Hawaiian-owned company and a recipient of TripAdvisor’s Traveler’s Choice award, has been offering Maui’s original ocean rafting adventures for over 30 years. Our small group tours provide a delightful, family-style experience. While whales are protected in Hawaii, they frequently approach our small boats, allowing for close and eye-level encounters.

During the off-season (Summer), join us for our 2-hour Dolphin Watching Tours.

Our low-to-water zodiac boats bring you close to the ocean’s surface for eye-level wildlife encounters, providing unobstructed views, the ability to reach remote locations, and an exhilarating, eco-friendly adventure not possible on larger vessels.

We are conveniently located in Lahaina, Maui, just a short drive from Kaanapali, Kahana, Napili, Kapalua, and other West Maui accommodations, and a fun destination for those staying in Kihei or Wailea.
