Maalaea Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Maui Ocean Centre - Learn about Sharks!

it was an enlightening experience! did you know that humans are more likely to die in car accidents than in a shark attack? and did you know they attack because we look like a seal or a turtle?! not cause we are humans?! and did you know we are harming marine life by killing them and eating shark fin soup?! they help to maintain the eco system in the water. let's learn to respect that. there were tons of various fishes, corals and even some turtles and jellyfishes to be seen here. my personal favorite was a kind of prawn that was carrying sand and lifting it out of a small hole ! that was so cool to watch!! but you can't stare at it cause it'll stop and won't move. so you gotta hide at the sides hahah!! it was really cool that they had theatre seats too to learn about various history and knowledgeable things about the sea and the different sea animals!! Definitely go during 2pm onwards as there are lesser people and go for the speaking tours at either 10am or 12pm or 3pm (the only ones I remember lol!!) so that someone is there to give more info about all the different aquatic animals. have fun! #trip #solotravel #solofemaletraveller #maui #hawaii #aquarium #learning #oceanpark
