Eye-Level Whale Watching Eco-Raft Tour from Lahaina


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.


Whale Watching Maui: 2-Hour Small Group Raft Tour from Lahaina


Our small group, 2-hour whale watching tours offer an intimate experience that larger boats can’t match. Departing from Mala Ramp in Lahaina, we visit the Maui Nui Whale Sanctuary, where humpbacks gather every winter to mate and give birth. With guaranteed whale sightings from December to April, or your next trip is free, you’ll witness these majestic whales up close. What makes us unique is our focus on an immersive, educational experience. Enjoy front-row seats on our custom-built raft, guided by our marine naturalist, and listen to the whales’ songs using our onboard hydrophone. As a family-owned business since 1992, we’re passionate about offering eco-friendly whale watching tours that foster a love for the ocean. We believe people protect what they love, and our mission is to inspire guests to appreciate and conserve Maui’s marine life through meaningful encounters with nature.
