Maui Ocean Center is a must-do experience for visitors of all ages. Overlooking Mā‘alaea Bay, this indoor-outdoor facility is home to one of the world’s largest collections of live Pacific corals. While the aquarium’s mission for the past 25 years is to share the wonder and beauty of Hawai‘i’s native marine life, such as tropical fish and rays, they also educate on ocean conservation and Hawaiian culture, including a powerful exhibit on Kaho’olawe. Maui Ocean Center inspires guests by bringing them below the water’s surface: Walk through a 54-foot-long underwater tunnel surrounded by manō (sharks); visit the Turtle Lagoon to observe Hawai‘i's cherished honu (sea turtles); and take an immersive surround-sound journey with life-sized koholā (humpback whales) in their 3D Humpbacks of Hawai‘i Exhibit and Sphere Experience.
