An Apollonaut travel guide
The place behind the detail.
Corals, sea turtles, sharks and the voyaging traditions of Hawaiʻi offer several ways into the story of Maui Ocean Center.
On this page
A reef of Hawaiian corals
The Living Reef shows more than 40 species of Hawaiian coral, from shallow to deep reef.
Turtle Lagoon is home to up to six Hawaiian green sea turtles at a time.
The open ocean
The aquarium’s largest tank holds 750,000 US gallons. Sandbar, gray reef and blacktip reef sharks share it with Hawaiian broad stingrays and more than 50 species of fish.
A walkthrough tunnel gives a 360-degree view of the Open Ocean.
People and the sea
Hawaiians and the Sea follows how Native Hawaiians navigated the Pacific by canoe and the stars, and an exhibit titled Kahoʻolawe: History and Healing looks at the island of Kahoʻolawe.
This heritage belongs to the people of Hawaiʻi and to the ocean itself. The History page offers a longer introduction, and the overview gives a short route through the exhibits.
