BeachExpert Tips & Helpful Hints

• There are no shows—the center isn't about entertainment, though watching the balletic movements of sea creatures is fascinating in its own right. And the largest live coral display in the entire nation never disappoints.
• Ocean naturalists lead presentations at the Living Reef, Turtle Lagoon, Hammerhead Harbor, Discovery Pool, and Open Ocean areas. Signs list the times.
• One thing that sets this aquarium apart is its commitment to sharing Hawaiian culture. Exhibits showcase the language, myths, and history of the Hawaiian Islands.

This is Maui's top family attraction. Before you go snorkeling, stop by to learn which fish and coral you're likely to encounter, and how to identify them.
