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!

Excellent Maui excursion - don’t miss! - This is one of the best trips on Maui. It’s a small group with a friendly and highly skilled captain and crew. I had Captain Jack, Bre, and Nicole and they were all wonderful. This trip takes you to beautiful snorkel locations that many Maui tours don’t visit. And we were lucky and saw a dolphin pod. Highly recommend!

Don’t skip this trip!!! - We had the most incredible trip with Captain Jack, Bree and Nicole on 7/3! They took us to two different locations off the coast of Lanai for fantastic snorkeling, plus sharing stories and history of the islands. They worked hard to find us some dolphins, and actually found some on our way back! We all agree that we would return again and again to Hawaii Ocean Rafting!!

Family Snorkel & Dolphin Tour - We had the best time in the Maui to Lanai Snorkel & Dolphin Tour. Captain Jack was a great captain! Bri & Meredith were awesome! They helped our little ones with snorkeling. They had a lot of knowledge about the marine life. We had a great time!
