Deluxe Snorkel Rafting Tours – Unveiling the Mysteries of Lanai

Welcome to an oceanic adventure like no other! Captain Steve’s Rafting brings you an enthralling deluxe Lanai dolphin snorkel experience, where the untouched beauty of Maui’s neighbor, Lanai, unfolds before your eyes. Often overlooked yet teeming with more vibrant marine life than Molokini, Lanai’s reefs offer a snorkeling experience beyond compare.

Get ready for a day of exploration as they guide you to the top snorkel sites on Lanai, from the remote north shore to the Marine Reserve at Manele Bay.

Sweetheart Rock: Meet the Playful Inhabitants of the Ocean

Their rafting tours in Maui are not just about sightseeing; they’re about making connections. As you snorkel through the colorful reefs, you’ll encounter playful spinner dolphins, green sea turtles, and hundreds of varieties of marine life. One of their favorite spots is Sweetheart Rock, where towering pinnacles create a reef plateau that seems almost otherworldly.

A Family Business Rooted in Passion

Captain Steve’s Rafting is more than just a Maui water activities provider; it’s a small family-owned business that has been sharing the wonders of Lanai with visitors since 1986. Their commitment to delivering exceptional experiences, filled with Aloha Spirit and insightful knowledge, has made them one of the most sought-after providers of boat tours and ocean activities in Maui.

Winter Whale Watching: A Seasonal Treat

During the winter months, Captain Steve offers guests a unique whale watch experience. Watching these majestic creatures up close from a raft is truly exhilarating.

The Cane Fire: Your Trusty Vessel for Adventure

The Cane Fire, Captain Steve’s charter boat, is a rigid-hulled inflatable originally designed for search & rescue by the US Coast Guard. Equipped with twin 200 hp computerized smokeless engines, it meets the new EPA standards. With 50% shade, comfortable seating, and easy access to the water, the Cane Fire ensures a comfortable and thrilling Maui rafting experience.

Preserving Lanai’s Old Hawaii Charm

Lanai remains an unspoiled gem, largely unchanged since the seventies. Its rural allure is part of its charm, and it’s why Captain Steve operates with special permits and respect for the local community. They are dedicated to preserving this piece of Old Hawaii while offering unforgettable Maui tours.

Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle, currently owns the island. He has been actively improving the roads, harbor hotels, golf courses, and overall infrastructure. The local residents of Lanai are delighted with the progress and outcomes. Life has become more convenient and enjoyable on the island.
