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

Shark tank

Reviewed by: Robyn, 2013/12/07

The shark tank was a blast! The crew was fun, professional, lots of energy, they made the experience worthwhile. They made us a video, totally worth the extra $, explained everything extremely well. I was a little unsure as we entered the cage but once we got in and saw all the sharks no fear, just fun. We saw many sharks, they were curious swimming around the cage, they didn't try to ram it or anything crazy. Just a great morning swimming with the sharks! This is a must!!

Sharks sharks and more sharks

Reviewed by: Steve M, 2013/10/19

If you want to see sharks up close, this is the place to be. Up on the North shore, wich in my opinion is the nicest part of the island. My brother and I had a great time. I still can't believe how big the sharks were. Crew was great !

Sharks experience

Reviewed by: frank, 2013/10/09

it was a greats experience. At a certain point you have to realize that you have real sharks around you. This is something that I will definitely try again at my next visit in the area? be aware that the sea is not all the time calm and waves can bring you a different experience... Gravel could be mandatory
A must to do... Great

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

Without a doubt, the best thing I did all week.

Reviewed by: Rob R, 2013/09/02

When my friend asked me to do this with him, I was a bit hesitant. Not knowing what to expect, my imagination relived several scenes in "Jaws". After doing some research and coming to the realization that North Shore does this on a daily basis without people loosing limbs, I agreed. It turned out to be an absolutely phenomenal experience. We arranged for the hotel pickup and once in the van, took the 45 minute ride to the North Shore area of Oahu. Once at the marina, it's about a 20-30 minute ride out to the cage. The Captain went over all the safety instructions thoroughly and describes what types of sharks we would be seeing. His shark lecture was very informative and wasn't stumped when questions were asked. Once at the site, the cage is secured to the side of the boat and after the 8-10 passengers get in, the cage is allowed to float away about 20 feet. Observing the sharks was a thing of beauty and simply can't be described in words. I would do this again in a heartbeat.

I strongly recommend this experience! The crew were helpful, down to earth and nice which made the experience even better. I recommend purchasing the video of yourself under water with the sharks - it will be a lifelong memory.

Load up on Dramamine and take the morning trip

Reviewed by: KellyB, 2013/08/11

This would have been an awesome trip if it hadn't been ruined by motion sickness. And I wasn't the only one affected, there were 6 other people hanging their heads over the side of the boat with me. This excursion is definately a do-over only next time I'll take the morning trip and start loading up on dramamine the night before. I want to mention, though, that the captain and crew were very nice and knowledgeable of sharks and shark conservation and I will go with this company again.

Better last time

Reviewed by: Karmine, 2013/08/06

I went on this 3 yrs ago and it was much more fun. They no longer feed the sharks and they stuffed the tank with too many people. Last time it was 4 ppl inside cage this time they put 8 ppl in it!!

Comments from activity operators

Aloha Karmine, We apologize that we didn't exceed your expectations this time, We will strive to do better on the next. We upgraded our cage less than a year ago and it is now about 65% bigger than it was back 3 years ago. Being the shark tour with the biggest cage, we currently average 5 - 8 people maximum at any given time. We have upgraded our boats within the past 2 years since 3 of our boats were burned back in 2011. We hope to better service you on your next trip out here. Thank you once again for choosing North Shore Shark Adventures

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Unique Activity

Reviewed by: Lin, 2013/08/04

Getting in the water with sharks was definitely a unique afternoon! Our hosts weren't especially talkative but knew what they were doing and we all got a turn. If you're going to get in the water with sharks I suggest this company because of the plexiglass on the side of the cage. None of the pictures I took through the bars turned out because of the light reflection! Also arrive early to the dock! The sign is tiny, faded and at the far end of a parking lot. Took us 20 minutes to find where to go after arriving.

This was a great experience! There were sharks all over the place, defiantly wasn't disappointed. The only bad part about it was all the people that got sick, & especially the one that got sick while in the cage. Everything else was awesome. I would recommend it to anyone going to Hawaii.

Great experience!!!!

Reviewed by: Chris S and family, 2013/07/08

My teenage daughter really wanted this experience, my wife not so keen. It was well worth it, about 20 large sharks swimming around you whilst you are safe in the cage. Even my wife thought so. It was a good experience, the crew were good and organised.
The slow rolling sea can affect some :-)

ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー 迫力満点!至近距離で野生のサメを見学 送迎付きプランあり

日本で体験できません!!

Reviewed by: skaljp, 2012/12/16

ここでしか体験できないツアーです!!場所がノースショアなので遠いのですが是非参加されることをお勧めします。とても安全で安心して参加できます。

私は、送迎なしの現地集合で申し込みました。それは終わったあとはノースショアを楽しむ為、レンタカーを用意していたからです。ノースショアは車でないと行けないのでレンタカーで行かれたほがお勧めです。

場所は。アリイビーチの隣の港で看板が立っています。誰もいませんし、ちょっとわかりにくいので早めに行かれることをお勧めします。

”危ない号”という不思議な船で沖合に係留してあるケージまで移動します。
大体8人くらいでケージに入ります。

船の上からでもシャークの姿が見えますが、ケージの中に入ると目の前を3~5mのシャークが数匹ケージの周りを泳いでいます。船の上から餌を投入すると獰猛な一面が見れて大興奮します。20分程度で終わりますがとても楽しかったです。

但し、日本語が通じませんのでご注意ください。船から上がったらシャワーは隣のアリイビーチにありますので、レンタカーはアリイビーチに停めたほうがいいでしょう!ノースショアに行く予定があれば是非お勧めします。

ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー 迫力満点!至近距離で野生のサメを見学 送迎付きプランあり

貴重な体験でした!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望, 2012/10/27

男友達8名で参加してきました。
ピックアップについては、遠くから来られて、別の参加者の方も順番にピックアップをしてくるのですが、20分ほど遅れてピックアップされました。少々不安になりましたが車にサメのデザインがされていたのですぐに発見できました。

車に乗って現地に着き、外国人の参加者の方も含めて20名程度でボートに乗って沖にでます。
かなり豪快に走って、水しぶきが滝のように振ってきて気持ちいい!!

ポイントに着くと、檻と船を接続して順番に6名づつでダイブしました。檻の半分くらいはプラスチックで覆われているのですが、下半分は檻のままなので、スリルがあって楽しかったです!!間近でサメの大群に接近できテンションはMAX!!とても貴重な体験となりました。

ただし、日本人はほぼ船酔いをしていましたので、酔い止め薬は必須ですよ。

船酔いには注意!!

Reviewed by: ちぇるしー, 2012/10/27

今回、他社さんのほうでも検討していましたが、料金設定が安かったのでこちらでお願いしました。
日本人ガイドではないのですが、ちゃんとツアーは日本語の説明が書かれている物が船内にあって渡されたので、特に困らないと思います。
ただ・・・ドライバーさんも英語のみなので、車内は外人さんばかりでしたが(みんなで楽しそうに会話されていました)外の景色を見ながら車内は過ごしました。

ポイントに到着すると船を停止するので、船内からサメをみていると船酔いしますし、参加した時は3回にわけてゲージに入っていったので、自分の番の前後などに船酔いする可能性が大です。今回、ゲージに入るツアーにしていなかったので、水着を着用していかなかったのですが、現地でゲージに入りたければ+支払いすればOKでしたので、着用していけばよかったと思いました。
船上からよりは、やはりこのツアーはせっかくなのでゲージにはいるべきだと思います!!
次回は・・・・と思いますが、船の停止時間を考えるともう1度参加するかは迷いますので、酔い止めは飲むべきですね。

HIGHLIGHT OF MY TRIP

Reviewed by: TCheesman, 2012/09/11

When I first started planning my Hawaii trip, this was the NUMBER 1 adventure I wanted to do. How often do you get to say... 'yeah, I swam with sharks'. Now amount of words can describe how amazing, thrill seeking, over the top this adventure was...but I'm going to try. I first want to commend the staff of Hawaii Activities. For the first time in 11 years, the boat broke down the day i was suppose to go. Just my luck But the staff worked their magic and reschedule me and I was able to full-fill the highlight of my trip. It was SOOO unbelievably easy too because they make all the accommodations for you. Once at the boat site, you jump on and set off. I would recommend the earliest time available. The earlier, the smoother the waves FYI. So once out there, you are just in awe. There are sharks. AND you are about to get in a cage surrounded by them! I was so scared but this is something I knew I had to do. So i sucked it up and the moment you put your head under the water.... you are stun

We had a problem finding the dock where that particular boat went out. There should have been a dock # or a sign that said where it was. We waited at the wrong Shark Encounter dock because there was no sign. Otherwise, it was 5-star and highly recommended to everyone!

但し、ワイキキから距離が遠いことと、船が結構揺れることがネック。

SHARK!!!!!!

Reviewed by: George, 2012/08/13

Didn't know what to expect, but knew what we wanted to see......SHARKS!!!!

And we saw at least 15 swimming around us. For those who didn't get in the water (like my wife), the guys running the boat did what they could to get the sharks to the top so they could see them, too. Nice that they thought not to leave those folks out of the adventure.

But the big thrill is being in the cage with all of those sharks all around you. We got terrific pictures with just the sharks and with us in the foreground and them in the back.

Great trip. We recommend it. P.S. take the early trips as the afternoons can get rough on the ocean.

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

family experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/07/24

We made this a family affair. My two kids, 16 & 6 enjoyed the sharks. The water was rough and it was very hard to hold onto the cage. I had to hold my 6yr old, he was not strong enough to hold on himself and the waves knocked him around. That said he loved it. My 16 yr old had no problems and tooks some great pics with the underwater camera. The sharks came right up to the cage and they looked them eye to eye. I tend to get sea sick so I wore a sea sick patch, which unfortuntly was not enough. The worst part was sitting in the boat while the other group was in the cage. Everyone agreed that they would do it again, but compared to some of the other tours we did, this one seemed a little pricy. We were only out for about 1.5 hours with about 15 - 20 minutes in the cage, which was just right but per minute - expensive!

The sea was angry that day, but the crazy eight crew pulled through! I have always wanted to swim with sharks and am so glad we were able to fit this in during wedding week. Despite the windy rough weather, the crew felt comfortable going forward with the adventure after deeming the conditions safe enough. They were very professional and provided great customer service and were very open in providing information. The water and cage were the most comfortable place to be on our adventure and the sharks provided a great show. The view was spectacular and we all survived. I would definitely do this again and recommend this to anyone considering this activity. Thank you Hawaiiactivities and Jessica for helping us decide on this adventure. Great job by all!
