We got to do it all! - What a great day with this awesome crew! They made sure all our needs were met and went out of their way to ensure every passenger had an excellent experience. We got to do a little bit of everything and stopped at three different snorkel spots on our tour. We saw tons of different fish at a couple of unique spots and then ended with a friendly swim with the turtles near Lahaina. To wrap things up, they spotted a pod of dolphins that we got to float next to and boy did they put on a show for us! I couldn’t recommend this tour enough…great times!!

Private boat trip on Maui - I have booked a 4 hour private tour with Hawaii Ocean Rafting for me plus my family. The crew was very experienced, helpful and fun. The boat was in great condition. They showed us beautiful places and gave us plenty of interesting information. If you are looking for a great experience to make your stay on Maui even more special, I can recommend a private tour with Hawaii Ocean Rafting.

Wonderful snorkeling experience. - Captain Jack and the team provided a once and a lifetime experience. The snorkeling was great, but the team also made the trip very informative and shared stories about the islands and the history. This was not the usual tourist snorkeling trip where you are rushed to snorkel and are fighting with many other guests. The captain took his time to make sure we went to the best spots and saw the sights on the Island. My family and I appreciated the personal touch and the stories about history. Highly recommend this trip!

Best tour in Maui! - This was the best tour I’ve been on. The crew was knowledgeable and so kind! They found the best snorkeling spots and my family was able to see many green sea turtles, dolphins, and a variety of fish! Going from spot to spot allowed for the best opportunity to see a variety of coral and sea life. I will definitely use them again!

Great snorkel trip! - We had a great tour and saw multiple kinds of dolphins (including spinner dolphins), eels, octopus, many fish and a whale shark (!!!!!). The staff (Danielle, Val and Peter) were amazing, full of knowledge and really helpful (wouldn't have seen the octopus without Peter!) I'm so glad we did a tour with this company instead of one of the bigger boat tours. Best part of our trip.
