North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Exhilarating!

Definitely a must do when visiting Oahu! It is a once in a lifetime experience! Definitely buy the DVD that is offered so you can enjoy the adventure without having to worry about taking pictures! There were a lot of swells the day we went out & even though I normally never get seasick, I was slightly nauseous by the end of the ride. There were a lot of sharks that day & the boat crew really made the experience worth while! GO DO IT!! You will not regret it!

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Highly Recommended

Reviewed by: Honeymooners

What an outstanding adventure! My wife and I had a great time. Captain JR and Chris created one of the best overall experiences we had in Hawai'i. They were funny, and knowledgeable about what we saw off the North Shore. Compared to other trips we took around O'ahu, they were the most reasonably priced as well. We're glad we bought the DVD to show how many sharks we saw, and the pictures impressed all our family... Highly recommended.

Awesome Adventure

Reviewed by: Plano, TX

What a great excursion! The most challenging part of the experience is getting in and out of the boat -- which really is not that hard. It is so great to see sharks up close. I highly recommend this adventure. My boyfriend was freaked out that I had booked this excursion...and now all he does is brag about it. He has no regrets and both of us would do it again in a heart beat. Don't miss out on this treat.

Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Snorkel with Wild Dolphins Rafting Tour [Open Soon]

Dophin observation

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This activity was well worth the cost. The crew as great and did everything possible to make sure that everyone had the opportunity to "swim" with the spinnner dolphins and see other unique sea life while snorkeling. Don't go into this activity expecting the dolphins to swim right up to you. They are wild animals. Be content with seeing this wonderful creature in its natural habitat no matter how close they come to you. The two snorkeling sights that were great. Especially the turtle cleaning station. My best advice is to remember that you are being given the oppotunity to see these animals in their natural environment. Listen to the advice of the crew - this is a time for observation, a chance to see what the animals are like when they are not in a confined place. It is not the time to try and touch or chase these graceful creatures.

Sea Life Park Hawaii Dolphin Experiences & Day Pass

First time Dolphin Swim

Reviewed by: Krystal

My husband and I were on our honeymoon. I have always dreamed of swimming with dolphins, and couldn't wait to experience this. They sent us to a pool in the back of the park and gave us life jackets. We then got into the VERY COLD water and onto this platform. The water eventually warmed up, and everything was fine. The trainer showed us the dolphin and let us pet her. We then got to put on masks and watch her do tricks under water. She asked my husband and I go first. So, we swam out into the deeper water and off the platform. I crossed my arms while my husband gave an arm signal for the dolphin to pick him up. Riding the dolphin was just surreal, it's something that you probably only get to do once in a lifetime. It was definitely worth every EXPENSIVE penny! But, once you've done it already, I wouldn't pay to do it again.

Awesome!!

Reviewed by: Montreal couple

This was the most fun we had on Oahu. Captain Dave and Crewman Chris are very professional, knowledgeable and entertaining. We felt safe in their capable hands...which was especially important, given the fact that this is an incredibly thrilling activity! Sooooo scary....being in the water, surrounded by numerous sharks of varying size (basically bigger than you, and much faster too!) certainly makes the adrenaline pump!

We bought the DVD of our experience, and we appreciate the fact that it is your choice to have your experience taped or not, and is therefore more personal and not 'pushed' at you for purchase. Just got home last night, and immediately watched it!

We recommend this activity to all but the faint of heart!

Sea Life Park Admission Day Pass & Dolphin Greeting - Kid Friendly!

Sealife Park

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

It was a wonderful adventure for our grandchildren They loved it. The park has only a small storage area with a single use key. We put everything in it, then realized the camera was in it. Not worth another $2.00 to get it out and cameras were not allowed in the water. Pretty much forced you to buy their pictures at $16.00 a pop if you wanted any memories. Activities did not start on time. We were under time constraints and it was pretty tight.
Everyone was very friendly but time was not a consideration for them,

Park a Little Run Down

The swimming with the dolphins was great. The rest of the park seemed kind of run down. They need to run the shows more often. We missed the main show because it was only shown while we were swimming with the dolphins. Kind of pricey. Guess I was expecting Sea World quality.

The activity was fun but the dolphin trainers were rushing the whole time. There were six people in the pool with the trainers and everything felt very rushed. It would have been nicer to just learn and enjoy rather than "go here, now go there!"

Sharks Galore!

Reviewed by: Matt

Myself and a close friend were visiting Oahu for 5 days, and she decided that we should take the time to go 'swimming with sharks.'

Now, keep in mind that I have a tremendous fear of drowning and also am not too keen on the idea of swimming with sharks, but I was convinced to 'live a little,' and I signed us up for the North Shore Shark Adventure- and I am SO GLAD that I did.

The staff were EXTREMELY helpful, witty, and sarcastic in the right places. They put everyone's fears to rest at the beginning of the tour, and were extremely knowledgeable about everything regarding the tour and more. (Who knew that specific sharks will just bump you with their noses and then leave you alone because they have taste buds on the outside of their bodies?)

For our tour, the wind was really picking up and the seas were a bit choppy, so there was a little bit more salt water swallowed than I care for and 1/2 our party got seasick..* (they recommend buying dramamine at the beginning of the to

The Hawaiian Ray Encounter at Sea Life Park was a really memorable part of our vacation. We actually got to interact with stingrays and observe them. They just glide through the water with little effort. We went snorkeling multiple times, but this was the first time we actually saw stingrays.

Sea Life Park Hawaii Dolphin Experiences & Day Pass

Had a Great Time

Reviewed by: MW

We used hawaiiactivities.com a couple years ago to book parasailing and it went well so we booked the Dolphin Adventure this year through his same website and got great service from hawaiiactivities while booking.

We did the Dolphin Adventure and had a great time. I thought 30 minutes in the water wouldn't be long enough, but it was perfect.

For the belly ride you need to swim to the deeper end, but you're wearing a life jacket which keeps you a float. I don't know how to swim and was able to just doggie paddle with my life jacket to get to the deep end.

The staff there is very friendly, including the driver that took us to and from the park.

Note that if you choose to use their transportation, be prepared to wait around for a while, either to get into the water or to get a ride back to the hotel since it appeared there's only one transport sheduled for the morning activities. We left Waikiki at 9am for the 11:45am activity and didn't leave the park until 2:30pm. Seali

Royal pass equals lots of fun

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This tour was very enjoyable, we had friendly drivers picking us up & drop us at the hotel and they made an effort to get you all excited and made you feel like you were really on holiday.
The park itself was great, its small but with all the tours and activities with the Royal pass, time flew and then it was closing time. Everything on the tour was a magical experience, starting with playing with a sea lion, to the ray fish, to riding with the dolphins and seeing the first ever crossbreed of a whale/dolphin. absoultey great and an unforgetable day. Truely worth spending the money for the royal pass as you really do get to play and ride the dolphins. The only disappointment was that we spend alot of money paying for the DVD and photos of us with the dolphins and not all the different rides with the dolphins were captured by the photographer and camera person. They were really disinterested and most of the time on their cell phone instead of paying attention to capture people's first

It was great. I was lucky enough to have the turtles swim right up to my nose, and the dolphins to swim up right underneath me. We had some trouble getting the dolphins to come close, but I'm glad that the crew kept on trying. The guys were really nice and the photographer took some great shots. I think it's great for first timers as well - you can opt to go after everyone and the crew really makes sure that you're safe. I would do it again any time (if I had more time in Oahu, I actually would've done it again in the week that I was there) and highly recommend it.

I wish I heard about the "deep drop" before I went, but I guess it just means I'll have to go again...

Great experience

Reviewed by: Marina

The crew was great and we had a good amount of time to view the sharks (usually I think these activities end too quickly, but I was very happy here). Unfortunately, when I went the waves were really strong and I got bruised and sea sick being tossed around, but I think if the weather was more calm, it would've been really amazing. I would definitely do it again. I do, however, wish that the cage was larger or that they would let no more than 2 people in at a time because there's not that much space to maneuver, and if there are waves you're always running into the other people. The sharks are very graceful and beautiful and do come rather close so that you can get some great visuals, but for those that are afraid, they never come close enough for one to feel unsafe. In fact, they don't seem particularly interested in the people as much as they are in just swimming around. I didn't purchase a video, but I think I would next time, just because it was very difficult to get good pictures w
