Our original reservation of Thurs was cancelled due to weather. The staff was very efficient at rescheduling us for Mon, and even opened up their 9:30 tour.

The Highlight Of My Trip

Reviewed by: Paul, Dallas, TX, 2009/03/24

This will truly test your sea legs, which I truly had. So if you get sea sick, I wouldn't recommend it, but maybe some motion sickness pills may help. Once in the water you don't notice anything looking from above, but once you stick your head underneath you are completely surrounded by sharks. It was thrilling and exciting at the same time. My only concern was hoping that my underwater camera was taking some great shots, which later I found out was on the wrong setting. I was tempted to do it again, but luckily I bought the DVD of my swim. I would surly do it again when I return. It was the most thrilling thing that I have done in my life.

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2009/02/09

This was an adveture of a life time. The crew was fantasitc and very understanding. I wasn't sure about going in the cage since it wasn't enclosed completely. But the crew was wonderful and understanding. Once they got me out in the water and the sharks started coming around I had an anxiety attack and didn't know if I could stay in the water very long. The crew members talked me through the whole experience and said they would pull me in I needed. But I needed to do one thning for them. Take a breath and go down to just look once. I did and was able to stay in the cage the whole time. This was an experience that I will never forget and would do again if have the chance.

Unique experience

Reviewed by: John, 2008/12/20

A chance to do something like this comes along very infrequently, so take advantage. This is cool, even if you don't go in the cage, to see a dozen or more sharks swimming around the boat is awesome.
ps take motion sickness pills

You must take this tour!!

Reviewed by: Hawaii Lover!, 2008/12/14

This tour was awesome! It was a moment of a lifetime!

I get very sea sick so I made sure to prepare which was a VERY good idea. I took meclazine the day before and then that morning about an hour before leaving. I took the first tour which is the calmest and clearest time. It definitly paid off because we had three people that were turning green on the boat.

Finding sharks was no problem. They came right up to the boat HUNGRY!! When it was your turn to get in it was amazing! It was scarier to see them above the water than when you got in. The water was so amazingly blue! The sharks were so gracefull and you didn't see any of the scariness you do from outside of the water.

I just wish that my expensive underwater camera worked!! None of my pictures turned out! I still have the moment and picture in my mind forever but I wanted to share it with others.

Do not miss this tour!! No mater how nervous you are if you event want to do this a little you should not

Experience worth every single penny

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/12/12

I went alone...but it was all the worth while! I highly recommend this experience...and it is an experience. They have two sides of plexiglass on the cage and when your in the water it feels like you are swimming right next to them! All the excitement and enjoyment of swimming with sharks! Spend the money, take the time, do whatever you need to do to fit this in! And the location outside of the tourist traps was also a plus!

Outstanding! ~ Don't go hungover

Reviewed by: Sadiej, 2008/07/26

This activity is exceptional & absolutely delivers!
As a group of three we boarded the North Shore boat in various stages of hangover from an international conference. One mate was viciously seasick, another repeatedly seasick and I was moderately seasick (only had to hang my head over the boat once). It is a testament to this excursion that although we all felt absolutely awful we thought it was AMAZING and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Do not pass up the opportunity to see these incredible animals in crystal clear deep waters. Be sure to have something for motion sickness as it is a bumpy ride on the boat and in the cage.

Sharks in June

Reviewed by: Malcolm Fawcett, 2008/07/02

This was a great trip and exceeded our expectations. Seeing sharks circling up from the deep to come and feed in close attendence with Trumpetfish and a random Tuna was a sight I will never forget. The water was so blue and clear that it was like watching on film. If there is one thing that you do when you go to Hawaii then this should be it. With the correct balance between ecology, safety and fun this must be the best activity by a mile and it still leaves time for surfing in the afternoon! Brilliant.

A really proffesional activity, the staff were friendly and attentive, funny and informative.

We started the day being scared of sharks and ended up wanting to pat them! Probably not a good idea though as they have big teeth!

Awesome Shark Adventure

Reviewed by: Sandy, 2008/03/11

This was an awesome experience. You can't get any closer than this to live sharkes in the oceans. I could have reached out and touch them - but highly discouraged to do so.

This is an awesome experience and a great way to view sharks in thier own natural environment. Very graceful and peaceful to watch.

Reviewed by: Len Langevin, 2008/01/16

This was by far the best adventure I've ever been on and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, which is very different from most touristy things I've done in Hawaii where once is enough.

The crew was great, the sharks were plentiful and the gear provided was excellent. Don't forget to bring your camera because you will want to capture every moment out there. If you don't have an underwater camera, you can buy one from the crew.

Fantastic Experience!!

Reviewed by: Amanda & Allan, 2007/11/21

This was a great adventure! Being in the cage is extremely rough, and you have to hold on to avoid getting thrown around by the huge waves, but this is a small problem! There must have been at least 15-20 sharks (Galapagos and sandbar sharks) swimming all around, and rubbing on the cage! I would recommend this activity to anyone who can handle a rough ocean. It was one of the best things we did in Hawaii!! Take anti-nausea pills, as the waves are huge, and the boat rocks hard (even for those who don't think they get seasick).

FUN!!!!! FUN !!!! FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reviewed by: The Bradys, 2007/08/17

This was are favorite activity. You are taken out 3 miles from the shore in 400+ ft of water and put in a cage while chum is thrown from the boat. Then its a shark fest. We seen about 20+ Galapagos sharks. Bring a waterproof camera to capture the excitement. It was really difficult for us to get pictures because the water was so choppy, but out of 27 pictures we got 20 great pictures.

Dive

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2007/05/13

The dive was awesome. We had to reschedule due to bad weather, but I didn't mind because I appreciated the captain canceling the trip instead of taking me out for a bad trip. The experience was great, it made my time in Hawaii totally worth it. I would recommend this trip and this group to everyone. It's the best trip you can go on in the islands.
