・送迎を手配すると60ドル×人なのでレンタカー代が捻出できます
・ホノルルから約1時間で到着しました
・朝イチのプランで日の出前の出港でした
・2組目でしたが、ちょうど入水前に日の出があり暖かくなりました
・イタチザメ以外には出会えませんでした
・ゲージに6人詰め込まれたので、人が多く自由に動けませんでした

OK, so the idea of going to 'find' sharks as opposed to avoiding them at all costs can take a little getting used to. However once I'd gotten over that, I have to say this is one of the most exhilarating experiences I've had (and enjoyed) on the island.
There's two basic times that you can go out, Super early or Early, Yes that's right, Don't plan on a late night in the bar the night before trying to drum up Dutch courage because this boat leaves early and you want to get your sleep in.
After a leisurely 20-25 mins boat ride out (i think they said about 2 miles) to the dive site you arrive in an open water area, engines are cut and you pull up next to the cage. A quick chat from the crew, and two groups are selected A & B, This ensures you have maximum space in the cage and is a really cool idea.
We climbed in first, GoPro's on and ready to start shooting...
The cage is actually rather large and you definitely want to be up close to the bars hold on, and go down to get your first glimpse... I'm not going to say much more on what you'll see but I will say, This is a guaranteed sharks (plural, many lol) shark tank dive. They big, upclose and personal and you are totally safe in your secure housing...
You get ample time to take selfies, group shots, dive down again, hold the bottom of the cage etc as these amazing creatures swim all around you.
I'd forgot my wrist strap for my cam, No problem, The crew guy noticed as I was getting ready ad gave me a cool wrist-strap for it (thick rubber band!) Awesome Service.
Highly Recommended. 5*

ツアー自体はすごく楽しかったです。ノースショアはサーフィンで有名な高波のビーチなので、目的地まで向かう間はかなり揺れます。普段、船酔いしない私でも気分が悪くなりました。
自分以外にも4~5人気分の悪そうな方がいましたし、吐いている方もおられました。ツアーに参加される方は酔い止めをお忘れなく。

朝早いツアーだったのと、水が冷たいんじゃないかとそれがすごく心配だったが、意外と入ってしまえばそこまで寒くもなく、もうシャークが見えた瞬間から夢中(笑)ただ揺れがすごいからシュノーケルはあまり意味なし(笑)酔い止め飲んでたからまったく船酔いもせずにうちらが乗ったときは誰一人として具合悪い人いなかった。かなりの数のシャーク見れて満足!ただやっぱり揺れがすごいから写真はあまりきれいにとれなかったな~★高いけどDVD買うのがいいかも~。うちらはかった(笑)なかなかできないことだからやる価値はあり(^^)/刺激が欲しい人にはおススメ~(^◇^)

Staff were amazing and made the adventure perfect. Awesome experience shared with my nephew. Coming back to Hawaii in April and will be doing this again for 3rd time! Sea was really rough but made it all so much more fun, was given option to change days or refund but so glad we decided to go ahead, was a fabulous day.

旦那と二人で朝イチの部で参加しました。
ちゃんと予約できてるか不安でしたが、時間通りにサメの絵が大きく載った車でお迎えにきてもらいました( ˊᵕˋ )朝5:30でさすがにつらかったですが(笑)
車で1時間ほどで到着し、船に乗って出発!!!
クルーのみなさんは全く日本語はしゃべれないので、日本語表記の注意書きを読みました。日本語はしゃべれないけど、ジェスチャーなどで伝わるのでぜんぜん問題ありませんでした♪サメがいるスポットまでの道のりもサメの人形で脅かしてきたり、具合悪くないかとか気にかけてくれてとても良い人たちでした。
ポイントについたら水面にたくさんのサメが!!!
私達夫婦の順番は3番目だったので、水面のサメを見たりしてました。
ポイントまでの道のりは全然平気でしたか、船が止まるとすこーしずつ酔ってきました(笑)みなさんそんな感じでした(笑)私たちは吐くまではなかったけど、何人かは吐いていてつらそうでした(;▽;)
でも自分たちの番になるとテンションが上がり、船酔いなんて吹っ飛びました!
目の前で見えるサメたちはとても美しかったです!檻にぶつかってくるなんて危険な事はなく、檻のまわりをぐるぐると泳いでる感じです(*˘︶˘*)10匹以上いました♪でも中には檻の中で波酔いして、具合悪そうな方もいました(;▽;)酔いやすいかたはオススメ出来ないですね(;▽;)
でもすごく貴重な体験が出来ました!!!

今までのどのオプショナルツアーよりも最高でした!船はとても揺れますが、前日の酔い止め+当日の酔い止め服用で問題なしでした。シュノーケルを噛んだまま声を出してしまうくらいエキサイティングな時間でした!

私はほぼ泳げず、シュノーケルでも怖くて潜れませんが
嫁はダイバーなのですが、何か一緒に海のアクティビティをやりたいとの事で
これだったら何とかなるか。。。と申し込みました。
送迎や現地での対応は、特に問題はなく普通です。
裸足になって船に乗り込み、20人ほどで沖へ行くんですが日本人は6名ほど。
途中で日本語のレクチャーファイルを読みます。
ノースショアの海はそこそこ時化ており、かなり船が揺れました。
一緒に行ってた日本の学生グループもほぼグロッキーに。
船酔いに弱い人はやめとく方がいいです。
順番が来て檻に入ってからも、波は荒れて苦しいです。
後で聞いたのですが、ノースショアは7~8月くらいだけらしいです、おとなしいのは。
ちゃんと鮫は間近で見えたので、好きな人にはいいアクティビティですが
個人的には非常にきつかったです。。。身の程知らずでしたね。
嫁はたいそうよろこんでおりました。

It is a very special experience to see sharks that closely in the water. But you will get bored very soon since you'll see the same thing for the entire 20 mins.

Wife and I loved this tour. She was nervous going into it but once we got out there and she saw the other two groups go in prior to ours it helped to calm her nerves. The crew was great and very knowledgeable about the area and what we were seeing.
We felt very safe the entire time and thought the water was so blue and clear. Visibility in the cage was about 100ft in either direction.
Only thing I would suggest is to make sure you take something for Motion sickness prior to going out like we did. There were several on the boat who got sick several times while we were stationary next to the cage and a few others that got sick while in the cage.
It was a bucket list item for us and we are so happy we did it. We also got their video package which was $75 for a SD card recording of our time in the cage.

送迎付きの7時の部に夫婦で参加しました。
私たち以外に1組だけ日本人がいましたが、その他は外国人ばかりでした。
乗り場に付いたら、乗り場付近の丘の上でトイレをすませてから船に乗ります。船の上にはトイレも着替える場所もありませんので、ここで着替えるしかありません。また、船に乗る前に靴を脱いで1つの箱に入れるので、汚れてもいいサンダルを履いていった方がいいです。
船上で説明を受けますが、すべて英語なので英語が聞き取れない人は何を言っているか全くわかりません。私たちの時は日本語の説明書もありませんでしたが、ケージに入る時には簡単な英語で注意してくれるし、シュノーケル着用時もチェックしてくれるので、英語がわからなくてもそれなりに安全に楽しめると思います。
5人ずつの3グループに分けられ、サメのいるスポットに到着するとグループごとに順番に呼ばれ、シュノーケルを付けてケージに入ります。
酔い止め薬を飲んで行きましたが、結局吐きました。吐くと少し楽になりますし、サメも寄ってきます(笑)。移動中よりケージを設置した後の船の方が揺れが激しいです。この時に船酔いしにくい夫も吐いていました。ぐったりして寝ている人や、クールな顔でさらっと吐いている人もいたので、船酔いする覚悟で行った方がいいと思います。あと空腹状態で行った方がいいです。
スタッフの人は船酔い時に心配してくれたり、吐いた後にティッシュをくれたりと、とても気さくで親切でした。
船の上からも少しサメが見えますが、ケージの中に入ると10匹くらいいて、とても興奮しました!たまに近づいてくると目や体の傷までよく見えます。ケージが揺れるので揺れに合わせて丸まって浮きながら見ていると楽です。ケージの下に張り付いて写真撮っている人もいました。
サメを見ることができて本当に感動したのですが、やはり吐き気が少しつらかったので星4つにしました。

Exactly what it said on the website. We had an amazing time, saw some amazing sharks and even got a DVD of us with the Sharks from one of the deck hands Dawn. Definitely worth every penny.

息子と二人で参加しました。ホノルル滞在先からveltraさんにネットで予約しました。前日の予約と言うことと時差の関係から、現地にも確認を入れ、念のために電話でも確認。電話で確認した時は、指定の11時に空きがありましたが、最終的に9時枠で確定でした。現地の人からは、その後予約が入り、一杯になってしまったとか?ピックアップは、サメの絵柄の車。ホテルから現場のハレイワまで、約一時間。そこからボートに乗り換え、20分にほどで到着。海は、透明度が高く、とても綺麗でした。実際に、あれだけ多くのサメを間近に見れたのは初めてで、とても貴重な体験が出来ました!また、船上では ジョーズの音楽も流れ、演出もなかなかでした。

If you like sharks this is the trip for you. There was plenty of sharks to see. They were mostly 6-8 feet long. They surrounded the cage and even a barracuda came to see us. I felt completely safe in the cage and so did my kids. My daughter(13) was a little apprehensive before getting into the cage but once in there she was fine. The only bad thing was that the water was a little rough so the cage was getting tossed around some but it was all good.

船はかなり揺れました。
三回リバースしてエサまいた影響か、
10匹くらいの群れがきました。
迫力あります。
水中カメラで動画も撮りましたよ。

My 15 yr old grandson came to visit and I wanted him to have a great time and have memories of a lifetime to take back to mainland! We both had a really great time! Captain Dave and crew were great, helpful, knowledgable, and all had the best sense of humor! I had an issue with video, but Dave was great and quick to make it right. In the end, it wasn't his fault, it was mine! Thanks Dave and crew! It was amazing!

夫婦+子供2人+乳児1人の5人家族で参加して、妻と乳児はケージに入らずにボートプランで船の上から見学しました。
船上からでもサメはよく見えます。船長さんがサメポイントでヒモのついた謎の缶(?)を海に投げ入れると、サメたちが缶におびき寄せられてワラワラと寄ってきます。この缶を投げ入れるのもやらせてもらえるので、妻も子供も何度もやらせてもらってました。
もう一個のレビューで書きましたが、ケージプランは揺れがかなりしんどいので、酔いやすい人はボートプランで船上から見学するのがいいと思います

The North Shore Shark Adventures was a very neat and wonderful experience. The boat ride out to the shark cage took about 15-20min. The crew members really stressed about safety first and were thorough about directions. They even had a sense of humor, which makes everything better. When we reached the shark cage the crew members separated all the costumers in to two different groups and we were escorted into the shark cage that was floating in the ocean. Being in the shark cage was kind of rough. The waves would rock/bob the cage from side to side and up and down. You really had to hang on to the cage bars to obtain stability. I personally wrapped my legs and arms around the shark cage ladder, which I found to be helpful. As soon as I stuck my head under water what I saw was absolutely amazing. 15-20 sharks swimming and circling the cage, each shark was at least 6-8 feet long. It was so peaceful and serene to see these sharks in their natural habitat swimming freely. Just a quick suggestion that if you plan on swimming with the sharks you may want to schedule this event early on in your trip because cancellations may occur due to the oceans unpredictability. For safety reasons they may cancel your shark adventures but they will call you in advanced to let you know. I suggested that if you are driving to the North Shore you call them to ask about cancellations before you make the trip up north.

9歳の息子と7歳の娘、37歳の自分の3人で参加。妻と赤ん坊は船の上から見学しました。
参加者は自分たちグループ以外は全員アメリカ人でした。
船に揺られること15〜20分でサメケージに到着。けっこう沖の方まで来てたと思います。
いよいよケージに入ってサメとご対面しますが、サメよりも波がすごくて、落ち着いて観察するのがむずかしかったです。
息子と娘は波にやられて早々にリタイアして船に戻り、自分ひとりでサメを見ました。
いちおうサメは間近で見られましたが、波のせいでケージに頭をぶつけたり、他の人ともぶつかったり、かなりしんどかったです。
帰りの船では自分も含め、他の参加者もあまり元気がなかったですw
もう少しケージを広くするか、一回の参加者を少なくするかすれば多少マシになるかもしれませんが、酔いやすい人は参加は慎重に検討したほうがいいと思います。

The was an awesome activity to do! My wife and I didn't want to go out and free swim with shark so this cage was perfect. We had a great crew that was nice, entertaining and took care of us. A very enjoyable time! A little tip is to go earlier in day because after about 9:30 or 10 the water starts to get rougher and rocks the boat more.

I must admit, I was a bit apprehensive about this adventure as the fateful morning arrived. We were in Oahu visiting our Son and his wife, she was particularly interested in the shark tour. My wife, on the other hand, would have none of it, fortunately, they have an 'Observer' option available. We boarded the Kai Ou after removing our shoes and headed out. The Captain explained that the sharks had become accustomed to the sound of the engines since there had been crabbing done in the past and they would not need to chum the water...we were going to be the bait. The water was absolutely beautiful, a bit on the choppy side, however, which made entering the cage a little more adventurous. It was really amazing being in the water with the sharks all around, there were between 8 and twelve, plus a few other fish, including some very large Trumpet Fish. I think my wife got the worst end of the deal as she was sea sick when we got back in the boat. The crew members were awesome, I would definitely recommend this adventure!!!

いい経験できましたけど、波がすごくて船酔いしました。船酔いに弱いかたにはちょっと…。
また、写真はお金を払ってクルーにとってもらったほうがいいですよ!他のかたが撮ってもらった写真を見ましたがとても素敵でした!

Seriously guys, this is a must. There was a whole bunch of sharks circling around us, and we saw a school of fishes too! I mean come on, you could finally say you swam with the Sharks! Tip: take motion sickness pills. The boat ride there could make you feel a little sick

The waters were choppy but that didn't stop us! The crew was very polite and professional. You can watch the sharks from the boat while the other groups go too so you aren't bored. I do a lot of snorkeling and diving around the island, but this was a very unique experience. I will be bringing any other people who visit me to your company, thank you for an unforgettable time!

10歳と7歳の子供と参加しました。
英語オンリーですが日本語で書かれたパンフレットもあり、特に困った事はありませんでした。
波は穏やかでしたが酔い止めを飲んでても酔うくらいの揺れはありました。
でも、檻に入ったらたくさんのサメがいて酔いも忘れるほど楽しかったです。
7歳の息子はサメが大好きなので大興奮してました。
息子が帰りにサメの絵を描いて船長さんに渡したらとても喜んでくれました。
後で現地の方に聞いたら、オーストラリアの参加者のかたが多くオーストラリアにもサメツアーはあるのですがものすごく高いので皆さんこちらでやられるそうです。
DVDが75ドルで買いましたがとても良い思い出になりました。
また行きたいけど、船酔いが恐いかな…
