If you want to see Maui's ocean life, you can go snorkeling or diving and take your chances with the weather. Or you can go to the Maui Ocean Center. You will see far more marine life here than you will in 100 snorkeling tours, however. There are turtles, sharks, rays, and many other types of fish and animals of... More

Our family always includes educational activities during our trips, and we found the Maui Ocean Center to be an enjoyable place to visit during our recent trip to the island. The Center features local marine life via displays and aquaria that are well-designed and kid-friendly. It isn't too large (and was pleasantly uncrowded), compared to other oceanariums that we've visited,... More

There is a plexi sea tunnel that lets you walk through while manta rays and other fish glide over your head. Be... More

We have been to many aquariums, and this one is awesome. We did the extra flippers and fins behind the scenes tour. So worth it! We got to see and hear about the coral restorations that are going on, touch baby sea turtles, feed the sharks, etc.... Gift shop has lots of fun unique things as well. This was one... More
