Touted as the largest tropical aquarium in the Western Hemisphere, this impressive oceanfront aquarium has quickly become one of most popular attractions of Maui . With more than 50 marine habitats, a massive ocean exhibit and a Whale Discovery Center, this is a must-see for anyone interested in the undersea world. Guided tours and audio guides are available, and there is an entertaining Keiki Program for the little ones. Check out the Marine Mammal Discovery Center here—it is educational and fun too!
