OCEAN POWER RAFTING & SNORKELING
Kanaio Coast
About 200 years ago molten lava from Haleakalā exploded out of a coastal side vent and flowed into the ocean at Kanaio, creating incredible lava arches, grottos, and sea caves. This uninhabited area is your destination for adventure as you explore the *Kanaio Coast.
Your vessel on this ocean power rafting expedition is a state-of-the-art RHIB – Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat – adventure craft, made famous by U.S. Navy SEAL teams. This boat is one of the fastest vessels on Maui, and unlike river rafting trips, you do not have to paddle! Quick and nimble, this specially designed craft offers a thrilling ride and easy access to secluded coastal areas and prime snorkeling locales along the scenic coastline of Kanaio. Keep your eyes open; nai‘a (spinner dolphin), honu (green sea turtles), and mālolo (flying fish) are frequent companions. The journey continues on to *La Perouse Bay, where you’ll snorkel in pristine waters with tropical varieties of fish that parade past in a mosaic array of color and form. The friendly and professional crew will provide detailed snorkel instruction for first-timers and dive tips to the more seasoned aquanaut.
If you’re looking for a unique aquatic experience, combining a little snorkeling with a bit sightseeing, something bold and daring, this is the ticket. Adventure has a password, and it’s called ocean power rafting.
