There is ample parking in front of the Maui Ocean Center. Be sure to pay for parking prior to entering the park! The parking lot is owned by Parklinq and parking fees support Ma`ālaea’s conservation initiatives.

Upon arrival, park in the parking lot immediately in front of Maui Ocean Center. From there, scan the QR code on the nearest paid parking sign with your smartphone and follow the prompts on your device to proceed to payment.

The parking lot is managed by an independent company, therefore payment must be made via the parking signage QR code, and not at the Maui Ocean Center front gate.

Parklinq will ask for your preferred length of parking time, contact information (name, email address, and mobile number), and your license plate number and credit card information. After completing your payment, a text message will be sent as confirmation. 15 minutes prior to time expiration, a text reminder asking if you wish to extend your parking time will be sent. If you do not have a smartphone, you may reach Parklinq’s Customer Service at 808.517.5017.
