Maui Ocean Centre

Hawai'i's Aquarium

The Maui Ocean Centre located at Ma'alaea Harbour is one of the world's best aquariums, featuring delicate coral, hundreds of species of fish, and turtles. This aquarium works to preserve Hawai'i's natural wonders while educating the public about conservation of the reefs. The entry fee might seem high on first glance ($24) but it's really really worth it. Leave yourself no less than two hours to tour this aquarium, I recommend three so that you have time to go back through some of the exhibits again.
