Maui Ocean Center

Marvel at Hawaii's aquatic life up close at Maui Ocean Center, also known as The Aquarium of Hawaii. Swim with schools of reef fish, sharks, stingrays, and turtles, or take a virtual tour of the humpback whales' habitat in the Humpbacks of Hawai`i Exhibit. Explore over 60 exhibits and learn about the island's marine ecosystem at the center. Get up close to a variety of marine life, such as sea stars, jellyfish, eels, octopuses, and even bamboo sharks! Take part in interactive shows and educational programs that teach you more about the ocean's inhabitants. With so much to experience, it's no wonder Maui Ocean Center is one of the top things to do in Hawaii.

Visit the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary and take a whale-watching cruise from Maalaea Harbor. During your tour, you'll have the chance to observe majestic humpback whales as they migrate between Alaska and Hawaii each winter.
