This is the BEST attraction on Maui. The Kanaio Coast tour is not to be missed. Our group was ages 6 to 70 and everyone had a blast. Don't waste your money on any other type of snorklel trip. We snorkeled Molikini before the crowds arrived. We also toured the lava flows of the Kanaio Coast, which cannot be seen any other way. (You can't get there by land or any other boat).

Immediately upon leaving Kihei boat ramp, we saw bottlenose dolphins. and later in the tour we stopped for more snorkeling and saw several sea turtles.

We just took the tour today and everyone wants to do it again before we leave!

Awesome Awesome Awesome!!! We took the 5.5 hour tour on the final full day on Maui. Everything else we did leading up to that paled in comparison. What a blast! If you do one thing on Maui, this should be it. The great thing about Blue Water is that only 20 or so people fit in the boat so when you find a great snorkeling spot, you're not surrounded by 100 other people and getting kicked in the head all the time. Captain Brad and Seti were very competent and made the trip fun, with Captain Brad's iPod providing a fabulous soundtrack as we busted over the waves. We hit maybe 4 different snorkeling spots, some OK and some incredible, including the back wall of Molokini. Great tour of the Kanaio coast and lava caves.

This is a great trip for teenagers who are unimpressed by everything. Mine were grousing about having to get up early and make the drive from Kapalua, spending more time snorkeling to see the same old fish, etc. But as soon as we got past the boat ramp and Capt. Brad turned on the classic rock and we started jumping over the other boats' wake they were grinning from ear to ear.

Bring lots of sunscreen and sunglasses. Don't bother with a hat because you won't be able to keep it on anyway. There is dry storage that you can access any time during the day for things like a bag, camera, towels, cover ups, etc. Even if you don't snorkel YOU WILL GET WET! If you have a rash guard, bring it for warmth. If you get seasick, it wouldn't hurt to take a dramamine. My husband was glad he did.

My husband and I have experienced many snorkeling trips but none like Blue Water Rafting. What an experience! This was a referral from a friend and was the best choice ever.

I sat in the back of the boat since they advised anyone concerned with a bad back or sea sickness to sit in the back to minimize the ride. By the end of the trip I wanted to experience the thrill of the ride and moved to the middle part of the boat. It was sooo much fun! We did the 5.5 hour trip that included Molokini island. WOW!

First we visited some sea caves along the coast, swam with turtles and the best snorkling was left for last in Molokini. The took us to three different areas of the island and my husband even saw a shark. (I was outta there!) But everyone else wanted to see it.

I will never again do a snorkeling trip with 150 of your closest friends. This was definitely one of our highlights of our trip! We will definitely be doing this tour again!

My back was a bit sore the next day, my arms were a bit sore from holding on tight (you need to), and my one knuckle had a small cut, but that was completely worth it.

Great views, decent lunch provided, and very thrilling. They really mean it when they say "adventure rafting".

After this, the idea of any other snorkel/boat trip sounds like a snooze.

Note: we did the 5.5 hour trip, which apparently nobody else does. It is way worth it. The snorkeling they take you to in the 4 hour trip is just average. I saw a turtle....big deal. The snorkeling at Molokini in the last part is freaking amazing.

Do the 5.5 hour trip and expect to be worn down. And most importantly, REAPPLY YOUR SUNSCREEN! I was so burnt it was absurd....but that is my own fault.
