Eye-Level Whale Watching 2 Hour Eco-Raft Tour from Lahaina, Maui

Overview
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.

Off season (Summer) join us for 2 Hour Dolphin Watching Tours.

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.

Absolutely amazing! We've been on multiple whale watching trips and this was hands down the best by far.

Captain Jack was knowledgeable, very friendly and funny! He knew right where to go to see the whales! His crew member (sorry I have forgotten her name) was so impressive with her knowledge of the whales and provided so many details about their journey.
