\"LahainaOne of the many boons of visiting Maui is that your choices for fun aren\u2019t limited solely to land: Maui County <\/b>includes two gorgeous islands that are accessible by ferry, its outer islet of Molokini <\/b>supplies some of the best\u00a0Maui snorkeling<\/b><\/a>, and its 120 miles of coastline <\/b>offer ample opportunities for splashing in the water.<\/p>\n

And what water it is. The slice of the Pacific<\/b> upon which Maui County rests presents some of the clearest and warmest water in the world<\/b>. While hopping in straight from the sand is one of the greatest pleasures the island affords, boating trips deliver a fresh perspective on the Valley Isle\u2019s splendor.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

With that in mind, we\u2019ve pulled together the best boating trips Maui<\/a> has to offer<\/b>, from intimate group tours<\/b> to buzzy, rollicking affairs<\/b>. Here are five<\/strong>\u00a0of the island\u2019s leading sea escapes\u2014<\/b>and what makes them spectacular: <\/span><\/p>\n

Redline Rafting<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Redline<\/p>\n

Tranquil cruises offer the epitome of elegance, but there\u2019s something exhilarating about skidding across the waves aboard a 35-foot customized raft<\/b>\u2014particularly one that was built for thrills. Red Line Rafting is one such venue for this enlivening experience. With daily departures out of Kihei, the signature red boat limits guests to 24\u2014meaning you and your crew can have an intimate, carefree tour<\/b>. Their Molokini Crater and Forbidden Coast Tour<\/b><\/a> is especially epic; here, guides well-versed in Hawaiian knowledge take visitors from the snorkeling haven <\/b>to a different type of heaven<\/b>: a remote coastline that supplies impressive views of Maui\u2019s last volcanic eruption<\/b>. <\/b> Private snorkeling charters <\/b>are also available, rendering Red Line Rafting the perfect outfit for families and wedding parties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Equipped with a continental breakfast, BBQ lunch, and trivia contest, this trip also includes a stop at Maui\u2019s Turtle Town<\/b>\u2014an alcove of glistening water teeming with honu<\/i>. Determined to see the sun disappear from the deck of a ship? Make reservations for the\u00a0dinner cruise<\/b><\/a>, where prime rib and fresh island fish are served alongside Hawaii-fied libations like Mai Tais, Lava Flows,<\/b> and Pina Coladas<\/b>. Whale watches are also available from November to April when one of the Pacific\u2019s largest mammals<\/b> migrates to Maui\u2019s waters to mate, nurse, calve\u2014and astonish.<\/span><\/p>\n
