Humpbacks of Hawai`i Exhibit & Sphere Grand Opening

Sunday, February 10: 
Humpbacks of Hawai`i Exhibit & Sphere Grand Opening.  Immerse yourself in the world of Hawai`i’s humpback whales. Until now, we’ve only been able to see humpbacks from above the ocean surface. Maui Ocean Center’s Sphere breaks the barrier to do what has never been done before: bringing you eye-to-eye with Maui’s humpback whales in their realm beneath the waves.  The new Maui Ocean Center Humpbacks of Hawai`i Exhibit & Sphere invites you to explore their world, learn their secrets, & discover the dynamic life, journeys, and social bonds of these intelligent and spiritual creatures under the sea. The Humpbacks of Hawai`i Exhibit & Sphere is the first of its kind in Hawai`i, adding an exciting chapter to the story & legacy of Hawai`i’s humpback whales. Event highlights include:  Blessing with Kahu Dane Maxwell, VIPs, and Maui Ocean Center team; live entertainment with Na Wai `Eha; information booths with PAC Whale, Whale Trust, & NOAA Humpback Sanctuary; prize wheel & whale-themed specials at Seascape Restaurant & Maui Ocean Treasures gift store.  Maui Ocean Center, 192 Ma`alaea Rd., Ma`alaea.  9 a.m. to 5 p.m.  For information visit www.mauioceancenter.com.
