Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for kids on the whale watching tour?

A: No age restrictions! Infants aged 0-5 can go for free, which is awesome if you want to bring the whole family. Just keep in mind that the crew is super accommodating, and they have plenty of space for strollers if needed. It’s a family-friendly tour, so kids and adults alike will have a great time learning and spotting whales!

Q: What should I wear on the catamaran? Is it cold out there?

A: Dress in layers! It can get a bit chilly on the water, especially when the wind picks up. A light jacket or hoodie is a good idea. Also, don't forget sunscreen and a hat, as you'll still get sun exposure even if it feels cool. Comfortable shoes are a must since you'll be on a boat!

Q: How’s the parking situation at Maalaea Harbor? Is it easy to find?

A: Parking at Maalaea Harbor is pretty straightforward. There’s a large parking lot right by the harbor, and it's usually not too crowded. Just keep in mind that it’s a pay lot, so bring some cash or a credit card. Arriving early is smart to snag a good spot—especially during peak whale season!

Experience of a lifetime on the catamaran!

Wow, the whale watching tour on the Winona was incredible! We saw so many humpbacks, and hearing their songs underwater was surreal. The crew was friendly and even shared some fun facts about the whales. The views of Maui were stunning too! Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a memorable experience!
