On a recent trip to Maui with a group of 4 couples, ages ranging from 48-68, we went Blue Water Rafting out of Kihei. We got put on the boat named The Pineapple Express with Captain Brad, or B-Rad as he likes to call himeslf and Devon, his co-captain. The 5 hour trip was an absolute blast from minute one. They were hilarious and a ton of fun the whole trip. Did I mention easy on the eyes too? The water was rough but the boat handled it beautifully. When they tell you you will get wet you better believe them! The scenery was amazing and like nothing I've ever seen. I can't say enough about this excursion. It's worth every penny. You will be wet, tired and sore when you get back but you will be so entralled by the experience you won't regret any of it. If you're a sissy you may get scared at times but it's still worth it. You'll live. The water was pretty rough in some places and Brad likes to push it, (make it more fun), but he is always safe. Being a boater for more than 20 years we recognized what an excellent captain he was. The way he handled the boat and manuevered around the lava fields and caves was amazing. This was the best excursion by far in terms of scenery and entertainment and just a very different and very special experience. You also get to go snorkeling in a couple of places. Our second stop was phenomenal and had a coral reef with turtles and lots of beautiful fish. The lunch was also way above average. Everyone in our group would highly recommend this trip. Buy a water proof camera. I wish I had.

My group went on the 11:30 snorkeling trip to Molokini with Cpt. Brad and Mike...who were both really funny and great guides. We started off by seeing two large turtles which we stopped and let check us out, then 5 minutes later on our way to Molokini we saw a large humpback breach so we stopped and dropped in the water microphone and listened to it moan. Molokini was sureal and empty due to the time this tour leaves, which makes it perfect. If you're looking for a memorable time this is it.

We did the Kanaio Coast/Molkini trip with Dante and Captain Brad, and it was fantastic. You knew what you were getting yourself into before you set off. Captain Brad even said "you know those waiver forms everyone gets you to sign at the before you do something, we MEAN ours!" They were very clear about what to expect and although it was a bit scary at times it was in an exhilerating way, and I can say 100% that I did not feell unsafe. Perhaps the people in a previous review who said it was unsafe should have sat at the back of the boat where the ride is quieter, another thing that was pointed out before we got on the boat. The closer to the front you sit, the bumpier the ride is. Anyway, enough about that, let's talk about the tour. The boat ride was fantastic, the scenery amazing and the guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. Dante was fantastic at seeing turtles, dolphins and even whales! In fact when he saw a whale just beneath the surface Captain Brad produced an underwater microphone which he threw over the side so we could hear them singing!!!! The guys really added to the enjoyment of the day, and didn't mind prolonging our time out to add something to our trip. When we were supposed to be on our way back in, they heard on the radio that some whales had been spotted with some dolphins so they took us off to look for them. We saw a calf, mother and escort and two spinner dolphins with them. We stayed with them for ages watching them play - it really made the trip for me. The whole trip was thoroughly enjoyable, from the Kanaio coast, the scary sea cave, snorkelling with turtles, the back wall of Molokini, the crystal clear waters of Molokini and then the whales (not common at that time of year) we had a fantastic time. Captain Brad really knew how to move that boat & Dante really looked after us. The snacks and lunch were more than adequate, muffins, cookies, lunch rolls, carrot sticks etc. All in all, it was more than worth the money and I would recommend it to anyone!!! One word of warning though, it's not for the faint of heart!

I was on the boat the same day as the people from Milwaukee who said it was unsafe, I just want to say that Captain Brad and Dante were Fabulous! Captain Brad was very thorough when we left about safety and letting us know that it does sometimes get rough down the coast and to hang on! He also tells you that when he says to hang on and stay seated he means it. There were no 20 foot waves being chased and no one got hurt, someone fell and the Captain was very concerned and wanted to write a report and the guest declined,twice! People, read all the other reviews, this is an incredible trip with sights you will never see any other way and definately worth the time! The entire boat including the person who fell had a great time snorkeling the whole day! Try it you won't be disappointed! This is a safe, fun, and incredible adventure!
