Maui Ocean Center, their mission is to foster understanding, wonder, and respect for Hawaii’s marine life. We invite kamaʻāina and visitors worldwide to develop a deeper appreciation for Hawaii’s unique ocean environment. Explore local culture as you encounter the animals that live in Hawaii — many found nowhere else in the world — and learn about the close relationship that exists between Hawaiians and the sea. Take your time, explore, and have an unforgettable Hawaii experience!
