Post-wildfire update: Hawaii Ocean Rafting lost boats and their Front Street office in the August 2023 Lahaina wildfire and has rebuilt a smaller fleet. They continue to operate out of Lahaina Harbor, but check-in has moved to a temporary location while Front Street is rebuilt. Confirm the current check-in address and parking instructions on your booking confirmation before arrival — it has changed since 2023 and is not yet a permanent home. Call ahead if anything is unclear.

Their top-rated experience is the Eco-Raft: Lanai Snorkel & Dolphin Watch (Semi-Private) at 85/100 — a strong showing that reflects well on the operation.
