Hey,

Lucky for me, work has taken me to Hawaii four times. On the island of Oahu NE side there is a dolphin park/aquarium. It's right next to the ocean and the place is awesome. You can swim with sharks there, and even the Dolphins. There is another aquarium on the SW side of that same island, but I didn't go to it. I was on three other islands and didn't see anything else.

I've been to the Maui Ocean Center. It's a neat place to visit if you have time

If your in maui, you can snorkel for free at black rock, near Kaanapali, it's I belive the Sheraton hotels beach, but anyone can swim there. Can get pretty crowed but you are guaranteed to see plenty of sea turtles. Go out a little further and there's also some great fish. There are snorkeling trips you can also take to I belive mokokai. See tons of tangs, triggers and amazing reef.

If you want to do a snorkel tour, my wife and I went with Maui Snorkel Tours. The guide was great and we had a lot of fun.
