The fish in the exhibits were just amazing! Most of the fish on display here are found in and round the Hawaiian islands or are native to the Pacific. They had fish of all different shapes and colors! I was just shocked that a fish could be neon!
They also had a jelly fish display here. It was much smaller than the one I saw back in Monterey but it was still amazing!
It was so much fun watching Evy get all excited over the little critters on display!
What I liked most about this aquarium is that the last half of the aquarium's exhibits are outside! So after we had made our way through the inside exhibits it was time to see what awaited us outside! They had four more exhibits outside and my favorite one had to be the monk seal!
We were lucky enough to be there at the time of the monk seal demo, teaching everyone a little about the monk seal and differences between a seal and a sea lion. Now I have never posted a video before so let me know if it doesn't work.
In the video the trainer is showing how the seal is trained to follow the white target at the end of the pole. The seal is trained to touch his nose the the target and to keep it there, that way the trainer is able to look over the seal and make sure he is nice and healthy.
One of the last exhibits that we saw was an exhibit that really reminded me of Monterey. For all you who have been to the aquarium in Monterey, do you remember the fish exhibit on the ceiling where the fish swam in a circle? Will this is a miniature version of it...
Our very last exhibit was the giant clams. I found it so fascinating that a clam could grow to be so big!
It was an all around wonderful day! We topped off our afternoon with lunch at Ala Moana mall at Island Burger. I can't wait for the next exciting outing I share with these two amazing ladies. Thank you Danita and Evy for more wonderful memories!
