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.
*New* rafts this season! After the loss of our boats in the Lahaina fire, we are grateful to be operating 3 rafts this whale season!
Kai- 30 passengers, bench style seating, 80% shade
Aloha- 20 passengers, bench style seating, 80% shade
Naia 15 passengers, saddle style seating, 30% shade
We are just a short drive from Kaanapali, Kahana, Napili, Kapalua and other West Maui accommodations. And a fun destination for visitors staying in Kihei or Wailea.
