From Ma'alaea Harbor: Whale Watching Tours Aboard the Malolo

Overview

Enjoy this 2-hour guided adventure in a high-speed catamaran to watch the whales in their natural habitat. Depending on the whales’ behavior during your whale watching trip, you may see the whales slapping the surface with pectoral fins (their very long side fins), flukes (the tail), the peduncle (the strong muscles attaching the tail to the rest of the body) and the breach, this is when the whale rises completely out of the water and crashes down again. Juices and sodas are available on board.

The ad says maximum 15 people but we probably had 100 people on the boat. It is not the same catamaran that is advertised in the photos. Definitely bait and switch

Aloha Angela, sorry for your experience. Where did it say 15 people?

We booked our sunset whale watching on catamaran Malolo. When we got to check in the guys laughed at us and said no catamaran and everyone is piling on a big boat. Very frustrating as we didn’t want to be on a big boat packed in with a bunch of people. We specifically booked because it was a catamaran with a smaller max capacity. Even one of the workers laughed and said it is kind of “Bait & Switch”!!!

The listing says in a catamaran BUT they then push you on a diesel powered (smelly) big boat. Deceptively foolish
