Maui Ocean Center
An aquarium focused on Hawaiian marine life, featuring a walk-through shark tunnel and an immersive humpback whale exhibit.
Maui Ocean Center sits beside Māʻalaea Harbor and displays coral reefs, a sea turtle lagoon, jellyfish and fish found only in Hawaiʻi. The most popular attraction is an acrylic tunnel about 17 meters long, where sharks and rays swim overhead. There is also a humpback whale hall and a 3D dome theater. It is a great fit for families, or as a stop before or after a boat trip. Check the official website for ticket prices, as buying online often comes with discounts.
