Maui Ocean Center & 3D Whale Experience

Discover Hawaii’s extraordinary marine life at the Maui Ocean Center with a special emphasis on humpback whales. To better understand the incredible diversity of species in the Hawaiian Islands, you will browse exhibits such as the Living Reef and Turtle Lagoon, where you will see green sea turtles, or honu, gracefully gliding through the sea. More wonders will await you at the Open Ocean display as you walk through its clear acrylic tunnel and look up at the multitude of sharks, stingrays and colorful fish. Yet another area of the Ocean Center depicts how the sacred island of Kaho’olawe has been restored after being used for military target practice and training. Still, the Humpbacks of Hawaii is the highlight, as it presents the complex world of humpback whales through an immersive, cutting-edge audio-video experience. It’s like being transported to the depths of the ocean and encountering these massive behemoths face-to-face.
