    Morning departures offer calm conditons on Maui's south shore where visiting Humpbacks are prevalent and often seen nursing their young during these times. Pods are spotted quickly allowing ample time for viewing and listening through a sophisticated hydrophone sound system. Close encounters of 100 yards or less sometimes require that we "stretch" a tour slightly to ensure the safety of the whales and to operate within federal regulations, so a little extra time has been allowed between tour departures.

    THE RIDE
    Blue Water Rafting has been offering a variety of high adventure snorkeling and sightseeing tours since early 1985. Due to the range of sea conditions encountered and the lively nature of the ride, these tours are not recommended for people with limiting physical conditions.

    WHERE TO MEET

    Kihei departure. Ample free parking is available at the Kihei Boat Ramp less than ten minutes from all Kihei and Wailea Resorts.
    All tours depart from the Kihei Boat Ramp located just south of "Kamaole Beach Park III" and accross from the "Maui Kamaole" condominium at 2777 South Kihei Rd.

    DIRECTIONS
    Passengers arriving from points north should take "route 30" to the "route 310" junction, then continue on "route 310" until they reach "mile marker #9". Next turn right on "Keonekai Rd." and go down to the stop sign. Then left on "S. Kihei Rd." The entrance to the ramp is 2/10 of a mile south and is well marked with a sign.

    From the Wailea or Makena area take "Wailea Alanui Dr." heading north. Turn left at the stop sign onto "Okalani Dr." which will become "S. Kihei Rd." at the bottom of the hill. Continue for about 3/4 mile just past the sign for "Maui Hill". The boat ramp is marked and on the left.

    WEATHER CONDITIONS
    Tours depart rain or shine. Inclement weather conditions are usually temporary and rain gear is provided. Cancellations due to weather are extremely uncommon and all parties are instructed to appear at the boat ramp no matter what the weather seems to them.

    RESTRICTIONS & CONDITIONS
