Maui: Semi-Private Eco-Raft Lanai Snorkel & Dolphin Tour
Before you book
- The raft runs from Lahaina, Maui, but its departure point has changed since the fires, and when we checked it named no exact meeting place; confirm it with the operator and check in at least 30 minutes early.
- Lahaina is rebuilding after the August 2023 fire, and the official visitor guidance (October 2026) asks visitors to stay out of restricted areas and not photograph fire-impacted sites.
- The listing contradicts itself on lunch: its inclusions list wraps, while its description calls lunch an add-on at extra cost. Wetsuit tops rent for $20 each, and tips are not included.
- No pregnant travelers or children under 4, and not suitable for people with back problems.
- Dolphin encounters vary, and a federal rule bans swimming with or approaching spinner dolphins within 50 yards. Weather or capacity can move or cancel a trip. Cancellation: “Cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.”
