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.

The humpback whale 3-D show is a must-see! It was one of the top highlights of my teenage daughter's entire time on Maui. The staff are fantastic, and it's a great way to see the beauty of Hawaii's ocean creatures!

The Maui Ocean Center was a great experience. I went with my sisters and niece. Kama'aina discount $29 adult regular price is in the $50 range as of October 2025. We stopped at the little "pools" where you can see many different types of ocena life. While they do have one where you can touch, I don't recommend that personally out of concern for the sea life, so we just look. Loved the underwater tunnel with all the sharks and fish and even the guy cleaning the tunnel in his dive gear. I suggest you take the time to enjoy the 3d experience which in October featured the humpback whales. No payment required for the 3d glasses! We had already eaten so we didnt get anything to eat. Many great exhibits and very educational. This is great for families with kids. Wear comfortable shoes and a lot is outside so take that I to consideration for clothing and sunscreen etc.
