Have you
ever looked into the eye of a zebra
shark?
Seen an
octopus opening a jar?
Or met the
real-life versions of Dori and Nemo?
Located
next to a living coral reef, the award
winning Waikiki Aquarium brings guests
face-to-fin with colorful tropical fish,
reef sharks, living corals, endangered
Hawaiian monk seals, sea jellies, squid,
octopus and more!
Their exhibits, programs, and research

the tropical Pacific. Over 3,500 marine
