Our Story
Maui's BEST small group ocean rafting tours since 1982, Ultimate Whale Watch & Snorkel invites you to share encounters with whales, dolphins and turtles and snorkel the island of Lanai! Our rafting vessels host less than 26 guests per trip, creating a fun and uncrowded experience! The low to water style vessel offers eye-level encounters and a fun boating experience!
We're stoked to have been featured on National Geographic, the Travel Channel, HGTV, Hawaii Magazine and ABC’s Good Morning America and thanks to our ohana’s feedback we have been recognized for Tripadvisor Hall of Fame for the past 4 years! Every ticket supports our volunteer efforts as NOAA first responders to entangled whales as well as our research partners at U.H. Cascadia, SCRIPPS, HAMER, Whale Trust, Keiki Kohola, NOAA, CETOS, NASA and more.
Ohana is important to us, and we can't wait to share Maui's ocean with you!
