Discovery Reef
Touch Pool

Children of all ages get excited about the Discovery Reef Touch Pool, where they can carefully lay their hands on sea stars, urchins, and even baby honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles). Crawl into the tunnel and watch the fish swim by. All creatures featured are native to Hawaiian waters and tide pools.

Penguin Trainer Talk

Our crew of adorable Humboldt penguins are able to leap out of the water like bullets and walk upright. Hear all about the aquatic bird species during this trainer-led forum.

Shark Cave

Experience the living shark exhibit, the Hawaiian Shark Cave. Step into the breathtaking world of Hawaii’s sharks, guided by dazzling interactive technology. This 300,000–gallon aquarium is home to native Hawaiian sharks. The exhibit includes sandbar sharks, whitetip reef sharks and a blacktip reef shark.

Dolphins & Wholphins

Wholphins, like dolphins, have strong and long-lasting familial bonds, which makes sense given their genetic blend. A hybrid of a false killer whale and Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, Sea Life Park’s own Kekaimalu, meaning “from the peaceful sea,” and her calf Kawilikai, meaning “blend of the ocean,” are inseparable.

Hawaiian Monk Seal

The scientific order, Pinnipedia, consist of seals, sea lions, and walruses. All members of this order are expert divers and have four swimming flippers. Here at Sea Life Park we have a Hawaiian Monk Seal and California Sea Lions. Watch them sun themselves or listen to one of our trainers talk about these amazing animals.

California Sea Lion

Our California sea lions divide their time between basking, snoozing, diving, floating and, of course, eating. You can feed them, too! (Fees apply.)

Aviary

Cockatiels and lovebirds make up the bustling, chirping community of Sea Life Park’s open-air aviary. All guests are welcome to step inside and enjoy their company during posted hours. Feeding sticks are available at no charge.

Seabird Sanctuary

Many birds have arrived at our park injured or sick, and in need of rehabilitation. We have carefully and lovingly nursed these beauties back to health and those that cannot go back into the wild are now permanent residents of Sea Life Park. Take a look at some of our local Hawaiian seabirds, including the Iwa (Great Frigate Bird).
