The center has interactive exhibits that teach visitors about the whales’ migration patterns, their anatomy, and their behavior. Through these exhibits, visitors will gain a greater appreciation for the humpback whale and the fragility of its existence. It’s a fantastic learning experience, both from a scientific and a cultural perspective. There is also an exhibit that focuses on the importance of ocean conservation and what we can do to protect this vital resource.

The center’s educational offerings are not just limited to whales but also cover the other fascinating creatures that live in Hawaii’s waters, such as dolphins, turtles, and sharks. There is an especially interesting feature on Hawaiian Monk Seals, which are an endangered species that can often be found basking on the beaches of Maui. The hands- on exhibits are engaging and educational, making the center a great place to bring the kids. You can touch baleen plates, a humpback vertebrate, and the shells of the green sea and hawksbill turtles - two other endangered species that can be found in Hawaiian waters.
