This was an amazing tour!! Our your guide Lola was great. She was friendly, understanding and knowledgeable. Beyond the sights we saw she was able to give us a glimpse into the real Oahu. She had great tips for our lunch stop and made sure we got the most out of our tour. This tour would be great for families, couples single travelers really announce that wants to see the island in comfort. The tour pickup spot was close to our hotel so that made it easy for us.

Initially we planned to rent a car and explore the island from Waikiki, driving to different areas multiple days. But, corona (and Hawaii reopening) caused a shortage on rental cars apparently and so we were not able to rent a car after all. Then we found this tour and we couldn’t be any happier with it! It not only allowed us to see the island of Oahu, we also got all the extra information that we wouldn’t have gotten without Lola, our driver and tour guide. We stopped at the blowhole, the Pali of Nu’uana viewpoint, a macadamia plantation, the valley of temples, Haleiwa, dole plantation, and passed the north shore beaches and many other beautiful sights, also Honolulu. After the team we even regret more than we couldn’t go again and spend some time at the places suggested by Lola. Therefore, my recommendation is to do this tour first (at the beginning of your vacation) and then try to go to the places you liked the most. And Lola was just hands down the best tour guide. She brought water and Poi Donuts —> delicious!! And she was so energetic in telling us all the stories about the island and what she used to do or used to go as a kid. This whole experience felt more like connecting to Oahu than anything else we did during our time there. Highly recommended!

I had the best time on my shark tour! The guys were super helpful and informative. The weather was great and I felt very safe the entire time, even inside the cage with the Sharks. There were so many Sharks swimming around the cage, much more than I expected. I highly recommend this shark cage tour. I had the best time with them.

Wow! I am so impressed by this tour. When my family originally planned this, I thought it would be boring. However, I was blown away. Our tour guide, Lola, was SO amazing. She was so knowledgeable and personable. I am shocked at how much I learned from her. She made the day go by so fast- I wasn’t even ready to leave. She even brought us Poi donuts. It was so cool to eat from the local restaurants- I never would have ventured to do this on my own.
This is a must! Don’t even hesitate. It’s worth every penny.

It was really great, nice view of the sharks, enough time, just enough people in the cage, perfect, I will just suggest that the guides are a little more excited about the tour itself, maybe they were not excited because it was 1 p.m.

This tour was an absolute blast. Luckily, my girlfriend and I came to Hawaii the week after the state opened up following the Covid-19 restrictions, so there weren't many people on the island. Likewise, the tour only ended up being the two of us. Our tour guide (and owner of the tour company), Steve, was amazing. He led us through the waters and taught us both how to kayak. He even went out of his way and taught us how to paddleboard too! Also, he was very knowledgeable about Hawaii and the surrounding waters. Steve provided us with a lot of advice on what we should do/stay/eat during our stay. And to make it even better, we saw plenty of sea turtles and coral beneath our glass bottom kayak! On top of all this, Steve stayed with us a little while longer on the water to answer our questions and to talk more about Hawaii. All in all, the tour went above and beyond our expectations. The next time we go back to Hawaii, we will definitely book another tour with this company!

船酔いした事なかったですが、船酔いして何もしないまま帰りました。
日本では開始しないような波でもハワイは普通に開始します。気おつけてください。往復のタクシー代とシャークアドベンチャー代で380ドルぐらいかかりました。
行って、船酔いして、サメも見れず、帰って、380ドルを捨てたようなものでした。
お金も返って来ないので、みなさん、天候には充分に気をつけてください。
あと、ある程度英語のリスニングが出来ないと、船のアテンドの人が何言ってるかわかりません。

What an experience! This tour is definitely worth it. The boat only takes out a max of 6 people which allows for more cage time and less crowds. The cage was plenty big for everyone to see and not feel cramped. We had sharks around us the entire time we were in the water and the water was so clear it was quite the experience. The crew was awesome and very knowledgeable about not only sharks but whales as well. We were able to stop on our way back into harbor and watch the whales for a little bit. Overall such a great experience, highly recommend!

One of my biggest fears is a shark. The idea of this excursion terrified me but When in Rome, right? Hawaii is the perfect place to face your fears and do something you’d never normally do. The guys on the boat helped ease my fears and made the experience so incredible. I would recommend this excursion to anyone. We saw 6 sharks at one time and being that close to a shark was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. We spent about 40 min in the water and it was the perfect amount of time. The fact that only a small number of people can go on the excursion means more time in the water. This is a must do on the North Shore! Bring your GoPro!

This shark cage tour was awesome. Started off the morning with a nice north shore cruise to the cage drop spot. The crew is very laid back and give you all the information you need along the way. Very friendly and knowledgeable and answered all and any questions we had. Spent a good chunk of time in the cage and saw a few different sharks able to collect some pretty sweet GoPro footage. Even saw some whales along the way and you are able to hear them singing underwater which is pretty cool. The boat is spacious and comfortable and they provide bottled water. They also have a fresh water hose so you can rinse off when you are done in the cage. This tour was 100% safe and professionally ran. I would recommend it for anyone looking to have a good time for a few hours on the island.

This tour is one that you won’t forget! During our shark tour, we had 6 sharks around us for most of our time in the water. The cage allows you to get a close view of the sharks while still viewing safe being in the water. You get a beautiful view of the deep blue water that is unlike anything else. The staff was great, informing us of sharks that are often seen as well as educating us on the sharks we were seeing. The staff also gave fun facts about the island during the boat ride. I could not say enough great things about this tour!

I needed to arrange transportation for a friend from Honolulu to the North Shore. Mikiko, the agent I worked with did a fantastic job of helping me arrange this, following up with me as promised, and making sure my friend got his voucher in his hotel. Mikiko took all the worry out of making sure my elderly friend got to and from Haliewa. I would recommend Veltra and the Holo North Shore bus to anyone wanting to spend a fund day.

I have to admit, even though I knew I would be swimming safely in a cage, I was still a little nervous. But the crew did a good job of putting my mind at ease. These guys really know their stuff! They've been swimming with sharks and surfing in Hawaii their whole lives. They are like walking encyclopedias!
The tour was fun from start to finish. We got to see whales on the way to and from the dive site (and we could hear them when we were in the water!), we saw the Lost beach where the TV show was filmed, and the view of the North Shore coastline was breathtaking.
Last but not least, the sharks. There were at least five in sight when I got in the cage. It was a dream come true getting to be so close to them and watch them swim around us. And the best part is that this tour only takes out a maximum of 6 people so we got to stay in the cage the whole time!

This has been on my bucket list for quite some time and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The crew is so nice and made everyone feel so comfortable and were very knowledgeable. They only take up to 6 people so you never even have to get out of the cage until the tour is over if you don't want to! We were in there for about 45 minutes getting to see several sharks and it turned out to be a really calming, cool experience. I would definitely recommend these guys, I was sold when I found out that it was a small group and that we would have a lot more time in the cage.

曇りで天気が悪かったためか船が揺れまくりで普段船酔いしない私も船酔いで死にそうでした。船が小さいのを確認した瞬間に酔い止めを飲んだのに全然効きませんでした。サメどころではなかった。檻の中に入ってサメを見るのですが、波が強くて檻がぐらんぐらんして頭を何回も打ちました。旦那はまるで洗濯機に入れられたようだと言っておりました。サメはかなりデカいのがウヨウヨとおりました。波が静かそうな日に行ったら楽しかったと思います。

朝一のツアーに参加しました。(ハレイワに滞在していたので現地から一人で参加)
朝早くから受付のブースは空いているので、名前を言ってあとは指定された場所で待機していれば乗船できます。
完全な英語ツアーなので英語があまり得意ではない僕にとっては正直、不安でした。
船に乗り込むとしばらくして船長さんらしき人が出てきて何やら冗談混じりで注意事項を話し始めます。正直何言ってるか全然わからないw
(多分ケージにもたれかかったり、足出すなよ。サメに喰われるぞ的な説明だったかと)
ただ、その後ケージに入るチーム分けと入る順番を話してくれてこれは何とかなりました。
あとは指示に従って時間になれば水中マスクとシュノーケルをつけて入ります。フィンはなし。素足です。
時間を計っていたわけではないですが、飽きるくらい十分の時間が与えられます。
ただオリに入る人数がそこそこ多いのでプカプカ浮きながら水中を見てサメを観察する感じです。一回頭から潜って観察したんですが、やるなって怒られました。
とはいえ、サメは人間に興味無さそうだし、入った時はドキドキですが、だんだんと恐怖感は無くなります。
しまいにはオリに足かけて潜って写真撮ってる人もいました。
カメラとかビデオの持ち込み、撮影は制限無いようです。ない人には貸し出しも有料でしてるみたいでした。
さすがに10分も見ると飽きてきて、もう終わらないかなぁなんて思ってしまいました。ただオリの中にいる間中、サメはずっと近くにいてウロウロしてくれてました。エサでも撒いてるのかも。
全チーム見終わったらすぐ港に直帰。ほかに特に何かを見るということもありませんでした。
一人での参加ですが、僕にあまり英語力とコミュ力がなかったのもありますが、結構なアウェイ感です。他の参加者がみんなアメリカの学生さんみたいな若い人ばっかりだったのて内輪でキャッキャやってて、ちょっとその中には入れないなあと。遠くを見ながらのボッチでした。
まあそれでも普段体験出来ない事が出来たんで良かったかなと思います。
ちなみに船長さんはなかなかいい人そうでしたよ。ボッチの僕にも気をつかってくれてました。
追記:他の皆さんの感想みて僕の時と違うと思ったのは揺れ。朝一がいいのか、たまたま波が少なかったのか、快適そのものでした。参加者で酔ってるひとは誰もおらず環境は良かったのかも。
あと、注意点ですが、季節柄かも知れませんが、めっちゃクラゲがいます。しかも小さくてゴミみたいなやつなので避けようがない。
裸だとかなりチクチクやられるかも知れません。腕が隠れるラッシュガードを念のため着ていくことをお勧めします。
