One Ocean Diving Hawaii Shark Dive on Oahu & Snorkel Tour Experience
Amazing & above expectations!
Reviewed by: Jon
This experience was AMAZING! At peak, I counted 12 sharks swimming around & below us. A few of the large ones came level with us to check us out! It was intimidating & inspiring! Plus, there just happened to be a large barracuda where we anchored who seemed as curious by us as we were of the sharks!
I'll admit that I was intimidated at the thought of being cageless. When I saw the barracuda at the nose of the ship I was all the more intimidated. But, this was why I did cage-free, i wanted to stomp this fear/intimidation.
We were in the water for a long time (I think 30 to 40min). At around 20min I decided to let go of the ship & just swim around a bit with the sharks & the barracuda! I cannot describe the full experience. It was amazing being in a "foreign land" (the ocean) with these incredible creatures!
I got my money's worth & more and I absolutely will do another cage-free dive next time I visit! I've found a new love with this experience!
Also, the three employees who led our escapade were great, interactive, & friendly.
I highly recommend people bring a go-pro & selfie stick. Also, let go of the boat, even if briefly.

Reviewed by: Isaac
We flew from the UK for this. It was so easy and fun!
Make sure to book - you will not be scared. It was safe and the staff were so nice. Life changing!
Only 10 mins to get to the cage then we spent such a good amount of time in the cage. Do it!!!

Fabulous
Reviewed by: Kahla
This tour was amazing! The crew and captain was very knowledgeable, extremely nice and friendly, and funny. The Captain did all he could do to attract the sharks for us and the safety divers made sure we felt safe in the water and had everything we needed. It was a little choppy, but that part was out of their control, so I'm good with it! Overall, 10 out of 10!!

Phenomenal, Once in a Lifetime Experience with the Sharks!
Reviewed by: Daniel A.
A heartfelt welcoming by the family team! Loved that they are down to earth, invoke conversation with you, dead serious about your safety and constantly staying vigil of your swim out with the sharks. They constantly checked in with you to see how you’re doing from riding to from on the boat, to swimming in the open ocean. It was great to see the sharks get up close to you to make you a bit alert but nothing I could say was dangerous and a close encounter. I will come back to them for sure!! Island view Shark Dive Tour will be the place I’ll be recommending others to go try. Thank you team for a spectacular experience for my son and I.

I took my wife and kids on this excursion and had a blast. Do not pass up this opportunity and book with confidence. Our boat captain and side kick were both totally laid back and very cool to chat with. You feel like you can reach out and touch these sharks as they swim by the cage they are so close.

Great Experience
Reviewed by: Tiffany W.
Both my husband and I really enjoyed this experience. It was a little rough in the beginning getting used to the waves and the cage up against the boat but once they release you a little it gets a lot easier. There were plenty of sharks and some other animals to check out while inside the cage. Definitely glad we did this.

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides
Beyond expectations
Reviewed by: Amy845
First time shark cage experience…wow…wow…wowee! The most friendly, professional, and informative guides, Alexis and Erin, were phenomenal. From on-time departure to instructions on safety and snorkel/GoPro use, all guests were given expert care. So many sharks showed up to interact with the divers. Ample time was allowed to view and photograph the sharks as they came right up to the cage. The boat ride to and from the site was smooth and beautiful. An unexpected treat was waiting for our return to the pier : ) Dozens of spinner dolphins were surrounding the boat and Alexis and Erin stopped and circled around to allow all to be entertained as some swam along the boat, diving and spinning out of the waters, and showing off their talents and joy!
Please treat yourself to this once in a lifetime experience with a fantastic crew.
Haleiwa Sharks Tours is THE crew that will deliver an unforgettable memory.

We had a fantastic experience - I can't believe in retrospect that we were considering doing this in a cage. The team makes you feel at ease and safe, the crowd wasn't too large, and the boat more than adequate. I especially love that they take free photos in the water for you! Great experience!

This was an amazing once on a lifetime bucket list opportunity! They answered the phone when I had any questions and the crew was super welcoming and I felt extremely safe! With just a short 15 minute boat ride there was plenty of opportunity for the dive itself with a well timed activity! The 50+ sharks were amazing to behold and it was a calming and wonderful experience!

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation
Top Highlights of Oahu
Reviewed by: Clara C.
Reposted from Yelp:
*COVID Update*
This was one of the top highlights of my group's trip to Oahu. All of us had never been in a shark cage before, let alone see a 12-foot shark in the same water!! I recommend going with North Shore Shark Adventures because the guys are so friendly. Bring cash for tip!
I made online reservations through VELTRA. The time and date I chose online was apparently not available, but they notified me promptly after I booked. They were able to offer another time that worked for my group. I recommend booking for early morning tours because the water is more calm. Sea sickness is not fun, and one person in my group had a terrible experience with it. I felt bad for him.
Our boat had 14 people plus the captain and a deck hand guy. They split the 14 people into 2 groups to go in the shark cage. The shark cage fit my group of 8. We had our snorkel gear, GoPro, and underwater phone cases ready! I recommend bringing towels because it gets cold on the boat ride back to shore. I felt like we were in the cage for a while. It was plenty of time to get to the bottom of the cage, take videos, and see the sharks.
Logistics: meet at Haleiwa Harbor. Parking is free by the restroom. I didn't see any showers there, and there's also no doors in the restroom stalls. Wear shoes that are easy to remove. You won't be wearing them on the boat. I didn't have to bring my reservation or show anyone anything; just told them the name on our reservation.
