Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary
Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary Review
Whether the whales are here or not, the sanctuary's Education Center is a great stop for youngsters curious to know how things work underwater. The sanctuary itself includes virtually all the waters surrounding the archipelago; the center is beside a restored ancient Hawaiian fishpond, in prime humpback-viewing territory. Interactive displays and informative naturalists will explain it all. Throughout the year, the center hosts intriguing activities, ranging from moonlight tidal-pool explorations to "Forty-Five-Ton Talks."
