Let’s help save the turtles together! Maui Ocean Center (MOC) Marine Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit located on Maui. As the only sea turtle hospital in the Hawaiian Islands, the Marine Institute works passionately and tirelessly to respond to stranding reports, rescuing and rehabilitating sick and injured sea turtles 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  

By purchasing a Honu Hero Candle, a portion of the profits will be donated to MOC Marine Institute for sea turtle rehabilitation. Honu means turtle in Hawaiian, so by purchasing this candle, you become a turtle hero! The scent of this candle is lilikoʻi, which captures the essence of the vibrant and tropical passionfruit. Its sweet and tangy aroma will transport you to sun-soaked beaches and refreshing ocean breezes. 

“Become a Honu Hero. Help save sea turtles and ensure a healthy ocean for our future generations.” -MOC Marine Institute
