Maui Ocean Center / The Aquarium of Hawaii

The Maui Ocean Center is an Aquarium and Marine Science Center. Opened on March 13, 1998, by Coral World International, the three acre facility is the largest tropical reef aquarium in the Western Hemisphere. It is the largest public aquarium on Maui, and undertakes projects to grow artificial coral reefs to later introduce back into the wild. The Center also includes exhibits on coral reef habitats such as sea turtles, sharks, and Humpback whales.
