Leave life on the surface behind as you descend into the pelagic realm with our Ocean Experts, where you’ll initiate a lifetime of respect and appreciation for the revered sharks of Hawaiʻi.

Shark Dive Maui is more than a thrilling experience to check off your bucket list — it’s an opportunity to understand the profound connection between the ocean’s top predators and the native people of Hawaiʻi. During this cage-free dive into our 750,000-gallon Open Ocean exhibit, everything you thought you knew about sharks will dissolve and transform into deep respect and an urge to protect.

Reserve your spot today for an intimate experience with over 20 sharks, hundreds of fish, and rays.

We loved it. Employees were knowledgeable. The glass tunnel was especially cool.

We go to almost every aquarium at every place we visit and we enjoy them all almost equally. This one has a 3D humpback whale exhibit and it’s immersive like sitting in a planetarium. It was amazing (and included with your admission ticket). The picture for printing with the inserted background was problematic because nobody seems to know how the process works. You scan the QR code from the card they give you, you stand and take a selfie but after that, good luck getting a printout. The one kiosk’s card reader wasn’t working, the other one inside the whale exhibit was frustrating. The pictures are full of ads and watermarks. When we tried to pick ones for printing, the ones without the fluff were not given as an option. We didn’t want to risk printing with all the ads and watermarks so we ended just getting the digital ones since people seemed confused about where to get the pictures. Besides this, the aquarium was nice. The gift shop is really big but everything seems overpriced. I think it’s just because it’s Hawaii. 🤷🏻‍♀️ They didn’t have a large selection of stuffed animals. We got a stuffed whale at the Walmart instead. 😂 Loved the sea turtles; the little octopus was spectacular as he changed color in front of our eyes; and they had some curiously nice looking eels (otherwise notoriously known for their ugliness 😆). Not horribly big; we did spend a good three hours at the place.

Nice place to come with kids to show them sea life.
