  • Our take on the Maui Ocean Center

    Maui Ocean Center is a public aquarium in Maalaea, on the south shore of Maui, centered on Hawaiian marine life. Its signature exhibit is a walk-through tunnel through a large open-ocean tank with sharks and rays, alongside galleries on reefs, turtles and humpback whales. It is compact enough to see in half a day, which suits families and first-time visitors, though it is smaller than mainland aquariums and some find it a brief visit. Free parking and an on-site restaurant make it an easy stop between Kihei and Lahaina.
