An Ocean of Discovery
The ocean connects us all – and that’s especially true in the islands of Hawai‘i. Kaua‘i Ocean Discovery is a new learning facility located in Līhu‘e, Kaua‘i, that shares the traditions and knowledge of our ocean connections and inspires stewardship of its guests. Visit an underwater world through videos, displays, and hands-on activities, and learn about humpback whales, Hawaiian monk seals, sea turtles, albatrosses, and more. Guests to Kaua‘i Ocean Discovery get an immersive experience in Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary and Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

Kaua‘i Ocean Discovery is free and appeals to all ages. Online resources and ocean programming are also available. Photo: Matt McIntosh/NOAA
