Our group had a wonderful experience on the sunset cruise. Our host and his nephew were full of information and island lore. They picked the perfect spot to watch the sunset. The two hours on the water was perfect and a just right ending to our trip. Definitely a highlight of our visit!

We had a beautiful sunset cruise out of Halaeva on a power catamaran. Great guide with stories for all of us about the area. Saw flying fish and a lovely sunset.
We highly recommend!
It was a last day excursion and memorable for everyone in our group.

This excursion exceeded our expectations! The crew was personally and knowledgeable about sharks and the ocean sea life. We had plenty of time in the water with the sharks because of the small group. We also saw a huge pod of dolphins 40-60 jumping out of the water traveling out to our final destination. We felt like they were putting on a show just for us. Important to note we never felt in danger while observing the sharks in the cage. Our guides were professional and patient with the timid swimmers. It was a bucket-list check off for us. We recommend an underwater camera or waterproof pouch for your iPhone. Don’t miss these amazing moments with the sharks. We will back! We highly recommend this excursion! Thanks for an incredible experience!!

We made a last minute reservation for this morning snorkeling cruise and it was much better than I had expected! I went with my sister and my guide gave us an excellent tour around the north shore with his boat. My guide was wonderful & friendly, and he was kind to offer us water, towels and of course snorkel gears. He took us to a coral reef to snorkel where we saw a bunch of fish and we even saw a turtle at the end of the trip! I would definitely go again!

So glad we chose Haleiwa Shark Tours/Three Local Boys! Only had six people on boat and cage held six people! We never had to get out of cage! Saw between 10-20 sharks, hard to tell exactly because there was ALWAYS 4-6 in view! The captain and his mate, terrible at names but think Captain was Chris, both very knowledge about history of island and pointed them out as we were going to drop spot. Felt very comfortable in cage - anybody can do this! I'd love to back tomorrow, but we are leaving. HIGHLY recommend Haleiwa Shark Tours

We went for the shark cage adventure on 1st September. It was one of the most terrifying thing we were doing before we started.
The boat was easy to spot, and the best part they waited for us as we got a little late due to road closures. Thumbs up for veltra and the excursion team to work with us on this and keeping us feeling relaxed.
Pro tip: road closures in oahu are really bad, keep more than usual buffer time for your travel.
The boat ride was really choppy, as we were already informed that there were very high waves. The ride could have been slowed down a little(my wife puked due to sea sickness)
Once at the site, we went down in the cage, and after initial jitters of maybe a minute, you start feeling better and safe. So all the folks who are afraid to do so, please just get in the cage, I promise it gets better.
Waters here were again choppy, meaning we were constantly bumping with cage or someone else.
The.good part was we could see multiple galapego sharks, they are magnificent creatures. We saw two upclose and they were big(7-8 feet long).
Ride back was again on rough waters and could have been slowed down a little.
The guides were ok, could have been better and maybe helped us a bit more in water and calming our nerves a little.

去年の11月に夫婦で参加しました。
大しけの中、強行突破のような形で船を出したようで、乗員のほぼ全員激しく船酔いしていました。飲んでいた酔い止め薬も効果ナシでした(笑)
サメの恐怖ではなく、あまりの波の高さと激しい揺れに、このまま死ぬのではないか、と言う感じたことのない恐怖に襲われました。あまりに激しく揺れるので、同じ船に乗っていた欧米の方々も苦笑でした。
シケでしたので、ゲージに入っても海を見渡せない。サメがかなり近くに来ないと姿を確認できなかったです。5匹ほど見れましたが、ゲージ内の揺れがすごいのと船酔いで気持ち悪いのであまり記憶がありません(笑)他の参加者も吐きながらサメを見る、といったかなり過酷な現場でした(笑)
天気の良い日は他の方が投稿されているように、たくさんのサメに出会えるようですね。日本ではなかなかできない体験(大しけの航海も漁師さんたち以外はなかなか体験できなさそう)ですので是非参加してみてください。

This activity took us past where the famous TV show lost was filmed.since I am a huge fan of that show it was very interesting to see the area which they filmed it. Then we saw quite a few pods of spinning dolphin that was very exciting to my grandchildren as they jumped into the air and spun around over and over again..After watching our guide do free diving we ran into a few eel and that was exciting to see. But the best part was when we went to a special area to see sharks and they were not just any shark it was a big 10 foot Tigershark I had never seen that it was quite a thrill. Our captain and his assistant were both very knowledgeable and very pleasant to be around, soft drinks water was included and we were able to take our very young grandchildren that were only two years old. The little town where the harbor is located is also a bonus. It has lots of little shops and wonderful food places to eat. So after our hour and a half tour we then walked around the town and had a delicious lunch. If you’re staying on the North Shore it’s only about 20 to 25 minutes to get to the harbor where you catch the boat. So all in all it’s a days full activity and something the entire family can do even the little ones. There is a cover on the boat what’s allows you to get in from under the rain, although we had pleasant weather we did not need to escape the weather

We couldn't have found a better way to explore the North Shore! My girlfriend and I went out on an afternoon cruise and had a blast! We saw lots of dolphins and even got to stop by a shark dive spot where we could see sharks from the boat! I have never seen as many different large sea animals in one boat ride, it was incredible! We stopped for a while and snorkeled in Waimea Bay which was amazing. We were able to take a bunch of cool underwater pictures and we even saw a turtle! The captain and crew are the friendliest in the Islands and are very passionate about sharing the culture and history of Hawaii. I really enjoyed this because for me, getting to learn about the places I visit really makes the experience so much more memorable. We can't wait to come back during whale watching season!

This was a surprise for my girlfriends birthday and she loved it! We saw so many of sharks! We had done one of the other shark dive without a cage on a smaller boat and did not have the greatest experience.(she got seasick, swimming in strong current, only saw one shark, un-attentive crew...) This experience was the complete opposite. The shark cage makes it so easy to relax in the water and just watch the sharks. Not fighting against the current for this type of experience really makes a huge difference. And you are never worried about what is behind you! The boat itself made a big difference as well. It is an extremely stable power catamaran and is one of the smoothest riding boats i have been on. The captain and crew are one of the friendliest I have encountered. They make sure you are taken care of and happy to share their knowledge of literally everything you can see out on the water and on the island.

港へつくと「危ない」という怪しげな名前の船がお迎えに来てくれました(笑)日本語は通じないですが、スタッフの方がの気遣いがわかりました。
日本語での説明書はありました。
出発するとすぐにイルカの大群が泳いでるのが見れました!
船はかなり揺れます、口コミを見ていたので酔い止めを飲んでいきました。
帰りには半分くらいの人がグロッキーになっていましたので、酔い止めは必須です。
あと、寒い!天気のせいか実施場所の海も冷めで帰りの船がめちゃくちゃ寒いので対策必要です。
サメは結構いました。だいたいグループで10分見れる感じです。
最初はドキドキでしたが、さすがにだんだん慣れてきます。
なかなか体験できないサメとのシュノーケル良かったです。

初めは、少し緊張しながらバンを待っていたのですが、20分くらい遅刻して来て一緒にまってな外国人夫婦と、まだ来ないね…と心配していました。特に何も言わなかったので寝坊かな??と思いました。そして、皆さんの体験談を読んで居たので、あらかじめ酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。もともと乗り物酔いしないタイプだったので、私は、酔わなかったのですが、母が乗り物酔いしやすいタイプで、船に乗ってゲージまで行くところまでは、元気だったのですが、逆に海の中に入ってからの方が波の揺れも激しく、そこで酔ってしまってしました。一緒にツアーに参加した数人の外国人の方も酔っていて、吐いている人もいました。ゲージの中へは、3組~4組くらい一緒に入って、その間にクルーの人達がエサをまいてくれるので、サメがたくさん寄ってきてくれます。でも、近くまで来ても襲って来ることも無く、かなり近くで見れて迫力があります。なかなか出来ない体験なので、一緒に居た高齢の外国人夫婦もかなり興奮していました!!一応着替える場所、トイレもあるのですが、みんな水着の上にシャツを着てそのまま帰っていました。あとは小さな売店??みたいなのが来ていて、迎えのバンが来るまでスナックやジュースを買って待っていました。是非、参加してみてもいいと思います。

サメが好きなので国内でもサメと泳ぐ等していたのですが、
今回のプランのサメは宣伝写真程大きくありません。期待外れでした。
ですが、初めてサメを間近で見た別の参加チームは非常に感動しており、チップも弾んでいたようです。
また、シュノーケルのため海面が非常に揺れ、大変酔いやすいです。
船も酔う可能性があるので、Wパンチにならないよう、酔い止めの服用をおすすめします。
