Thanks for the updates.

I've compiles a table of all major companies and am now deciding which one to go.
A non-exhaustive list so far: Redline Rafting, Blue Water Rafting, PWF Raft, Ulimate Whale Watch, Hawaiian Ocean Rafting, Maui Adventure Cruises, Captain Steve, Makai Adventure, Blue Maui.

A few quick questions: any specific difference between the small raft/boat companies? Since most are 2 hours long, I assume there's no food/snack, only water provided? Did you find any rafting companies that were especially nicer/better than the others?

There are large sailing cats as well that does not seem as crowded as others: Paragon, Trilogy....so maybe not as good. I'll probably at least do a big boat on PWF to get the experience.

Also, any recs on managing ocean/sea-sickness? I assume taking some meclizine/dramamine before hand?
