We had a great time on this boat trip....our driver and his assistant were both so knowledgeable about the Kanio Coast area and the lava formations, also stopped twice to snorkel and got to swim with the turtles off Makenna beach....so very cool, but ride is rough and boat can go airborne over the big waves! It was quite thrilling... More

Dimitrius and Brandon took us on a great ride today. The snorkeling was great, we saw Spinner Dolphins and lots of turtles. You go places no other company will take you and they are so very nice. The music was fun. I've been on most of the trips and this is my favorite by far. More

My company booked a The Kanaio Coast Tour as a group event. So i didn't know much about it going in ... and i saw the title 'adventure rafting' and quite frankly I was skeptical. I figured this was going to be a boat ride on some dingy with grandpa at the wheel. It was NOT! This was a 25... More

My wife and I went on Blue Water's 5.5 hour tour to Molokini and down the coast of Maui. Captain Joe and assistant Eli were very nice and accommodating. Right off the bat we saw turtles swimming around the marina, and just a few minutes down the coast we spotted three whales including a baby being followed by a bottlenose... More

By far the best snorkeling company. They take you places no other company does. Captain dante and brandon were excellent. Good Music and plenty of donuts in the water! An exhilarating ride. The 5.5hour tour is well worth the money, an experience of a lifetime. If you book with bluewater rafting, call the company to book directly and ask for... More

We went out on April 11, 2012. We took the 5 hour ride on the Pineapple Express. Our captain Dante was hilarious. He made an extra effort to remember my girls names. My girls loved him. He was always making jokes. I thought he sounded like Owen Wilson and it just made his jokes even more funny when I thought... More

I had booked the Kanaio Coast Tour (4hrs) on board of the Cloud IX. This trip included sights along the coast off Maui you can only see that up close only by water and snorkeling to La Perousse bay. Unfortunately, upon launching our raft the skipper Brad immediately realized the boat had a problem and he had to take it... More

We went with another family, an had the morning ride for 4 hours. We saw and swam with turtles which we could check off our bucket lists for this trip. We saw and heard the humpback whales. We did not know what to totally expect, but they went beyond what we expected. The scenery was beautiful and the crew was... More

I've been on this tour more than three times and it never gets old. I've recommended, rather insisted, visitors go on this trip while on Maui. It's the most exciting tour out there with tasty food and snorkeling. Be prepared for speed and swells. The scenery is beyond beautiful and if you're lucky you'll see dolphins. My girlfriends friend summed... More

Waters were rough but the boat ride was fantastic, the snorkelling amazing, and the turtles and dolphins a wonderful surprise. More
