This was amazing! I am so glad we picked this as an activity! I would do this again if we ever make it back to Oahu. We saw sharks from the minute we got out and they were around us the entire time. It was a little intimidating at first, but the guides were always watchful above and below the water so I felt as safe as you possible could be given the chosen activity. The only thing I would say could be better was finding what area you are suppose to be to board the boat, there are no signs for check in or really where you are suppose to be and I wish I would have taken my camera I wanted some pictures but felt the group rate was too high. I would recommend this to anyone!

他にも色々回りたかったために現地集合で参加しました。なぜか日本人は他にいなくあとは外国の方ばかりで3つのグループに分かれゲージに入ります。酔い止め飲んでいましたが、かなり揺れます。止まっていても揺れるので体調が悪い状況では特にやめた方がいいと思います。また覚めはたくさんいますが、基本人馴れしているのかあまり怖いという状況はなかったです。かといってあまり近すぎてもゲージ自体がアジア人の体型なら抜けていきそうなので、怖いと思います。こういったアクティビティは日本にはないしかなり楽しめました。

Had a great time swimming with the sharks even though it was in a cage. It was a little windy and the waves were rocking the boat so make sure you can take the rough waters. One got really sick from the motion but only one. It was really fun and well worth it. These sharks were very docile but swam by gracefully for some really good picture taking. I nor anyone on the boat ever felt unsafe swimming with the sharks. So much fun.

An absolute must do. My wife did not want to go in, but through the reassurance of the guys she did and was happy she did. The crew was great. At first there is lots of anxiety and then it lessens. Swimming with those majestic animals is beyond words. It must be experience. Again thanks guys

Can't say enough about how awesome this was! Wish I could do it every day. Was quite nervous at first but once you get in the water it is so calming to just watch the sharks in their world. The Island View guys were great, gave us all the info we needed before getting in and answered all of our questions.
My only advice for the company is to give a bit more instruction on finding you at the harbor - all we really had was the name of the boat (which is outdated) and we can't exactly walk the whole place reading boat names. We found them eventually and all was well.
If you have the time, this is absolutely a must-do in Oahu. You won't regret it.

My brother and I have long been shark fans. As a keen diver I've seen the occasional reef shark but wanted to see something bigger. We went out on the boat (limited to 6 of us) and after a short ride arrived at the site where we spent probably half an hour by the boat (holding onto the lines) then free swimming and diving with Galapagos and Sandbar sharks (around 40 at one point but always at least 15 around us at varying depths). There were multiple times when we could have touched one with a flipper they were that close but we didn't feel threatened at all (although i would be lying if I said we weren't a bit scared). There was only one shark that bared his teeth to us which was amazing to view and again not threatening. The staff made us feel very safe and are very passionate about the sharks. I've dived around the world but never come across an opportunity to swim with this many large sharks in the wild. I cannot recommend this enough. #HelpSaveSharks

We loved our experience! The instructors were professional, informative and made us feel safe. We were able to see several Galapagos sharks and a barracuda even joined us at one point. And the whole experience was captured through pictures available for purchase afterwards. Overall, our group had an amazing experience and would definitely recommend to others!

One Ocean Diving is a class act, and how they go about teaching you about how to swim with sharks is as professional as it gets. Never once did I feel nervous about jumping into the open ocean with these animals. The cost might be slightly high for a tour without any transportation, lunch or anything else, but knowing that your money is going toward ongoing research about sharks is well worth it. All staff know what they are doing and their passion for what they do really shows. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to do the sharks cage with some friends. Honestly, I was a little concerned about how the sharks are attracted, and if we were putting them in any distress by trying to see them in their natural habitat. Shortly after boarding the boat, my concern was put to rest-the sharks are not harmed in any way!.. Although it was late in the morning, and a swell was filling in, me and a couple friends all had a blast, gripping the bars of the cage, riding the swells as they rolled through and watched 10-12 sharks circle around us with such grace and ease. They were so close, we could see the pupil of their eyes!! Such an amazing experience, reminding me of my tiny existence on land.

This was such a neat experience that I'll never forget. We were so close to the sharks, which was somewhat scary, but mostly serene watching them swim by, really not caring about us humans in a cage. They come up to the sound of the boat because the area is usually filled with crabbers and they've become accustomed to eating the scraps. It was so neat being surrounded by these beautiful creatures and close enough to see the small barnacles attached to their bodies.
We did the 11am tour, which resulted in quite rocky waters (hence it being the latest option). The earlier times are much calmer waters and generally better visibility. The later time is not ideal for anyone sensitive to motion sickness, or nervous about the experience as it enhanced the intensity getting in and out of the cage. While in the water, we all had to hold on tightly to avoid hitting and kicking one another.
All that said, it was way worth it. Again, the earlier times and much calmer and even more enjoyable - highly recommend the tour, the earlier the better!

ハネムーンで主人と2人で行ってきました
1回目は波が高く中止になりましたが滞在日数が長かったので再度予約して2回目は参加できました♪1回目は船の中で今日は中止だと聞かされがっがり。。スタッフの方も気を使って船の上からエサをまいてみせてくれましたが、こんなんちゃうねん、こんなんで満足できんひんねん、と主人とこそこそつっこみまくりです笑
よく海外旅行に行きますがこのてのオプションツアーはぎりぎりになってから中止だと伝えられる傾向があるなぁと思います^^;天候や波などは自然のことなので本当にぎりぎりになってからでしかわからないものもあると思いますがやはり事前にわかれば予定変更の対応もできますしなんとか現地に着く前に知る事ができればいいなぁ時間ももったいないしなぁといつも思ってしまいます^^;それでも楽しく参加できたのはベルトラさんがご丁寧に連絡をちょこちょこくださったりアドバイスもくれたりしてとても気持ちの良い対応をしていただいたからだど思います^^
あとはすべて英語の説明ですが雰囲気で大丈夫だと思います笑行きのバスの中でサメの種類についてなどをドライバーさんがいろいろ伝えてくれますので英語が聞き取れる方は楽しいかもしれません^^私はさっぱりなので主人にずっと通訳してもらっていました笑
必ず酔い止めは必須です!私たち夫婦以外の方はほとんど船酔いでつらそうでした;;行く前と船の中でも薬を飲んで置いたので大丈夫でしたがかなり揺れます!
あと私はゴープロを手首につけてたくさん撮りました♪水中カメラなどある方はストラップをつけて首にかけるか手首に固定して潜るといいと思います^^
あとはドライバーさんによると思いますが送迎の車の中は極寒です笑行きは水着でもいいと思いますが帰りは簡単な着替えを持っていって着替えてください!トイレが一箇所ありますが着替えれない事はない程の小屋型のトイレなので本当に頑張って着替えてください笑潔癖の人には辛いかもしれませんが帰りの極寒のことを考えたらできます笑風邪をひきそうなほど寒くノースショアからホテルまでは割りと長い道のりなので^^;
自分でクーラーの温度ちょっと下げてと言えちゃいそうな勇者の方!報告お待ちしています笑
サメはたくさんみれました♪あいにく一種類しかいませんでしたが10匹以上見る経験は今までなかったのですごく興奮して楽しかったです!!
とにかく酔い止め、お水、簡単な着替え!これさえあれば完璧です!おすすめツアーです^^*
ベルトラさん本当にありがとうございました

Without a question this is a 5 star experience. This is one of those moments in life you will never forget and will probably want to do again. The staff is very friendly and experienced and they have great respect for the ocean and its creatures. They gave us a safety briefing and explained what to expect with the sharks and what not do, first thing we heard was "keep all the negative associations with sharks at the shore, go in with an open mind".
We got to swim around Sandbar & Galapagos sharks ranging from 5-10 feet, absolutely mind blowing. Some of them were curious and came close to us! It was a little scared first, but the guide kept us safe during the whole time. While we were enjoying that magical moment another crew member took great pictures of the encounter.
Absolutely a must-do activity if you are in Hawaii. I would love to go out with the Islandview Hawaii crew again!

This was an awesome experience. I had done the shark cage before, but I never thought that I'd be able to swim with the sharks without cage. I was a bit skeptical about the safety, but once I was in the water, I didn't feel threatened at all. It was just a calm and relaxing experience, and the sharks were not interested in humans at all. The sharks we saw were mostly Sandbar Sharks and Galapagos Sharks, and they only eat fish. They were more attracted to the sound/vibration of the boat engine. So the guide instructed us to stay away from the boat, and we stayed together as a group. We only have a group of 5 with 1 guide and 1 photographer in the water, so the experience was very intimate.
I highly recommend this activity to anyone, and really observe the sharks in their environment. Forget about Shark Weeks, Jaws, etc., and go see them with their own eyes so you can cure people's misconception about these beautiful creatures.
