Welcome to the Under the Sea Maui Ocean Center Proposal Package at the world-renowned Maui Ocean Center, where you can pop the question in a way that is literally jaw-dropping (don’t worry, the sharks are friendly).
You know how some proposals involve candles, rose petals, and maybe a sunset? Yeah, this one involves sharks, a real-life diver, and a whole ocean full of “wait—what is happening right now?!”
Here’s how it works—because we know you like to plan a little and surprise a lot:
You’ll arrive at the gorgeous Maui Ocean Center, hand in hand with your soon-to-be fiancé(e), just a couple of tourists checking out jellyfish and stingrays (or so they think). But little do they know, you’re about to pull off the proposal of the century—with a little help from our stealthy photographer, a custom-made underwater sign, and a diver who’s ready to make waves (literally).
You’ll be greeted at the entrance and swept away on a private tour led by a charming marine naturalist who’s in on the secret. They’ll casually walk you through the incredible exhibits, chatting about sea turtles and coral reefs while totally not letting on that you’re minutes away from asking the love of your life to marry you.
Then, as you reach the Open Ocean exhibit – the one with the massive, cinematic window full of gliding sharks and golden light – a member of the Maui Ocean Center staff will discreetly radio our diver. And just when your partner is fully mesmerized by the sea life, BAM! 🐟💍
A diver swims up to the glass, holding a custom Will You Marry Me? sign with their name and THE question.
Cue the gasps. The happy tears. The “Is this real?” moment.
(Yes, Jennifer. It’s VERY real.)
Our photographer (who’s been expertly blending in with the fish) will be snapping every moment from proposal to first kiss to “how did you even plan this!?” And after the big moment, you’ll have the chance to roam the Ocean Center grounds for more romantic photos—OR head to a nearby beach to soak in the just-engaged vibes with your toes in the sand.
If you’re doing a morning proposal, you can float right over to Seascape Restaurant, a full-service spot with dreamy ocean views, for celebratory champagne and lunch.
If your proposal is in the late afternoon, head down to Havens Maui, a modern local favorite with upscale seafood, killer vibes, and a menu that’ll make you want to move in.
So if your dream proposal involves marine magic, a little theater, and a lot of heart, this is your moment. (And don’t worry, we’ll help with every step.)
Let’s create a proposal that feels like something out of a rom-com… but wetter. 💙
