Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the whale watching experience?

A: There's no official age limit, but kids should be able to sit and wear life vests comfortably. It’s a pretty calm ride, so younger kids can definitely enjoy it. Just keep in mind that the crew may advise against very young children if it's windy or rough seas. If you're uncertain, you can always call ahead to ask!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad and they have to cancel?

A: If they need to cancel due to weather, they’ll usually give you a full refund or let you reschedule for another day. The crew is super friendly and understanding about this! Just make sure to check their cancellation policy when booking.

Q: What should I wear on the whale watching tour?

A: Dress in layers! Mornings can be chilly on the water, but it warms up later. Bring a light windbreaker and wear comfy shoes. Also, don’t forget sunscreen and a hat because the sun can be intense. It gets splashy too, so maybe leave your favorite outfit behind!

Thinking of gifting a whale watching experience in Maui!

Hey everyone! My friend’s birthday is coming up, and I’m considering getting them a whale watching experience with The Magic Merman. I love that it’s from Ka'anapali Beach. Has anyone been on this specific tour? What did you think? How close do you actually get to the whales? I want to make sure it's worth it!

Just did the whale watching tour, and it was epic!

I went on the whale watching tour with The Magic Merman last weekend, and I can't recommend it enough! We saw tons of humpbacks, and the crew shared cool facts about the whales. The raft-style boat made it feel so intimate. Bring a camera! You’ll want to capture the memories. Definitely a highlight of my trip!
