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

Owned by Native Hawaiians and recognized as TripAdvisor’s Traveler’s Choice, Hawaii Ocean Rafting has been Maui’s original ocean rafting adventure for over 30 years.

Our small group tours provide a delightful, family-style whale watching experience. While whales are protected in Hawaii, they frequently approach our small boats for closer, eye-level encounters.

During the off-season (summer months), enjoy dolphin searching and sightseeing on this tour.

A low-to-water zodiac boat brings you close to the ocean’s surface for eye-level wildlife encounters, offering clear views, the ability to reach remote areas, and an exciting, eco-friendly adventure not available on larger vessels.

We are situated 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.
