Pacific Whale Foundation Lanai Wild Side Eco Raft Tour
Summer Ecotour: Available May-October
Travel with Pacific Whale Foundation and their expert team on a personalized, small group rafting adventure to Lana'i. Lana'i is home to some of Hawaii's most beautiful scenery and vibrant coral reefs. These thrilling Maui Raft tours guarantee dolphin sightings. We will enjoy dolphin watching in an area where we typically encounter large pods of these graceful, social animals. We will enjoy Maui snorkeling at a superb reef, where you can enjoy a free guided reef tour led by one of the knowledgeable Pacific Whale Foundation certified marine naturalists.
The Lanai Wild Side Eco Tour adventure is the only raft tour that lands on Lana'i and includes a visit to the quaint plantation town of Lana'i City (elevation 1,700 ft).
On Ocean Freedom, Maui's start of the art raft, we will explore Lana'i's breathtaking coast. Lana'i's crystal clear, blue waters are a paradise for marine wildlife; 3 species of dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays and toothed whales are sighted in this area year-round, with humpback whales adding to the excitement in winter.
