Zoos & Aquariums

Looking for a bit of safari on your Hawaii vacation? The Honolulu Zoo is a must, not only because of its close proximity to Lotus Honolulu at Diamond Head, but also because they house an impressive collection of birds, reptiles, amphibians, primates, and more in over 42 acres. The Children's zoo is great for kids, too!

The Waikiki Aquarium is home to almost 500 species of marine plants and animals. Indoor exhibits include large, beautiful tanks that provide homes to reef sharks, an exhibit celebrating aquatic animals that utilize jet propulsion, including nautilus, octopi and squid, and many others. Jellyfish, shallow and deep coral reef exhibits and more are all on display for your education and entertainment.

Located just north of the Hanauma Bay Natural Preserve, Sea Life Park integrates lagoons, pools, reefs, and theaters. The main attraction is the rare opportunity to swim alongside and even touch dolphins under the watchful eye of dolphin trainers. An environment unto itself, the aquarium holds 300,000 gallons of water. Make sure to catch the sea lion feedings meet the penguins!
