Maui Ocean Center

This Maui Ocean Center houses a collection of Hawaiian reef fish, corals, green turtles, sting rays in a series of well-designed aquariums. One highlight is a glass tunnel through a shark and ray tank, allowing visitors to sit and contemplate the varied life around them.

Other displays explain the life cycles of the humpback whales which migrate to Hawaii each December to March (no whales on display) and how the Polynesians who settled Hawaii used the sea.

Signage and educational materials are well done and experts are readily available to answer questions.

The Center displays many pieces of original art. The store on the grounds sells a range of gifts up to original works of art of exceptional quality for the serious collector.
