We paid to go to a playground that still shows up in the search, even though they’ve removed it. We were three minutes late and had to pay four dollars on the way out, on top of the purchase we made to cover the ticket validation.

I love Whalers - went to eat lunch and do a bit of shopping. It was all soured by the parking fee! I’ve never seen such a greedy awful parking fee. $44 for a few hours!! Thank goodness for the one voucher which dropped it to $28. Sorry Maui - Aloha to you. Your prices are crazy at this point. Have been coming for decades. Spent a couple hundred bucks at Whalers only to be hit with that fee leaving. The greed and nickel and diming is ridiculous. You’re going to ruin it.

Having only 48 hours in Maui, I was limited with my time. I decided to go to Whalers Village to spend the afternoon of shopping and dining. I caught the bus from South Kihei and it took about 45 minutes (after I caught the right bus :D)
It's a very nice, compact shopping centre. Plenty of shopping to do, I managed to get a few souvenirs. Also got a grab to eat at one of the restaurants on site.
