Humpbacks of Hawaii<\/h2>\n

Let’s cut straight to the best part:\u00a0 The Film and the Theater!\u00a0 Filmmaker Daniel Optiz debuted “Humpbacks of Hawaii,” a short 4K 3D film projected on the entire domed ceiling of this fantastic new theater.\u00a0 You can look in almost any direction and see the film from different perspectives.\u00a0 It feels as though you’re below the surface, swimming with these humpback whales!\u00a0 We were blown away, and it brought tears to quite a few eyes.<\/p>\n

The Theater is over 50 feet wide, allowing them to use the space for other events and films<\/a> in the future.\u00a0 The film is included with the price<\/a> of entry to the Maui Ocean Center.<\/p>\n

New Exhibits<\/h2>\n

Along with the new theater, many new exhibits have replaced older ones. We especially enjoyed the Kaho\u02bbolawe historic displays and interactive exhibits.\u00a0 For many of us, this island is a bit of a mystery, so learning more about what happened over the years and seeing exactly what each area of the island currently looks like was eye-opening.<\/p>\n

The Party<\/h2>\n

Pupus, drinks, and live music made for a fun opening with plenty of familiar island faces.\u00a0 We had a blast, and especially enjoyed being at the Maui Ocean Center at night!<\/p>\n

Our Maui Aquarium at Night<\/h2>\n

We’ve only visited the aquarium a few times at night, for different events, which makes for a different vibe in the tanks.\u00a0 Many of the creatures on display are nocturnal, so you get to see a whole different side of Maui ocean life.<\/p>\n

Tickets<\/h2>\n

As of this posting, regular Maui Ocean Center tickets<\/strong> for single admission come to $39.95 for adults, $34.95 for seniors, and $26.95 for kids 4-12.\u00a0 If you want to see the film in their new theater, it is also included in the ticket price.\u00a0 Seeing as we haven’t had much new come to Maui for some time, we have to imagine it’ll book up quickly for the movie.<\/p>\n
