About Maalaea
A small harbor village on Maalaea Bay, Maalaea is Maui's whale-watching and ferry capital — the harbor launches tours and the Lanai ferry, while the Maui Ocean Center aquarium anchors the tiny commercial strip. Condos and townhomes line Sugar Beach, and it sits dead-center for exploring both sides of the island.
