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

Fantastic Experience!!

Reviewed by: Amanda & Allan

This was a great adventure! Being in the cage is extremely rough, and you have to hold on to avoid getting thrown around by the huge waves, but this is a small problem! There must have been at least 15-20 sharks (Galapagos and sandbar sharks) swimming all around, and rubbing on the cage! I would recommend this activity to anyone who can handle a rough ocean. It was one of the best things we did in Hawaii!! Take anti-nausea pills, as the waves are huge, and the boat rocks hard (even for those who don't think they get seasick).

FUN!!!!! FUN !!!! FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reviewed by: The Bradys

This was are favorite activity. You are taken out 3 miles from the shore in 400+ ft of water and put in a cage while chum is thrown from the boat. Then its a shark fest. We seen about 20+ Galapagos sharks. Bring a waterproof camera to capture the excitement. It was really difficult for us to get pictures because the water was so choppy, but out of 27 pictures we got 20 great pictures.

I have done this shark encounter twice now and it does not disappoint!!! Ever come face to face with a tiger shark? Here is your chance. Do it and you will not regret it. Besides, it gets you out of the hectic city of waikiki/honolulu, and the best bragging rights ever with your friends!!!

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

All I can say is "oh man!"

Reviewed by: John Simonsen SLC UT

This one of the biggest thrills I have ever experienced, and there has been alot, we have traveled all over the world and this is most definately in the top 5 for us. To have a shark 8-12 feet long inches from your face, let alone 15-20 of them within 20 feet of you is extreme, then add in some good sized swells to add to the excitement, I wouldn't miss it again, ever, a must for anyone who needs a thrill.

Great experienc w/ experienced crew

Reviewed by: Jose

This adventure delivers on exactly what it offers. If you've seen the shark specials on the discovery channel this will be very similar except for the fact that YOU are up close and personal with the sharks. Bring waterproof camera for great shots. I didn't have one but I brought my live action camera and filmed some great footage from on the boat.

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

Amazing Time

Reviewed by: Shark Fanatic

This tour is definitely worth the money! We had an amazing time! Make sure to take Dramamine ahead of time and make sure to have enough battery power for your camera because you will take tons of photos. If you have never snorkeled, I recommend figuring out how to snorkel ahead of time. We also saw whales (it was the middle of whale season) and you could here them if you were really quiet under the water. We had to rebook due to weather and the staff was great at getting us a new date/time that worked with our schedule. The only regret I have is the video that was shot for us. It was very expensive for the footage we received (about 10 minutes) and the wrong couple was intereviewed at the beginning of the video and at the end of the video the camera wasn't turned off so we have about 5 minutes of a white wall on the front of the boat. All in all, it was an amazing time and we would definitely do it again!

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

Take A Camera!!

Reviewed by: Dr Bob (From the UK)

Great trip, with a very knowledgeable captain and crew.
Bring your underwater camera for some pictures of a lifetime,,,, so you think!
You will be back to enjoy this again.

Visibility was well over 50 feet and the water was a crystal clear deep blue.
When you are in the cage you are totally protected and safe, yet as the sharks come so close you feel as if you are out there with them.

The only bad thing for me were the pretty high waves, which made it difficult to hold the camera still. (As seen from the pictures)

This experience is on the 'To Do on the next trip' list.
Thanks everyone involved

Sharks in June

Reviewed by: Malcolm Fawcett

This was a great trip and exceeded our expectations. Seeing sharks circling up from the deep to come and feed in close attendence with Trumpetfish and a random Tuna was a sight I will never forget. The water was so blue and clear that it was like watching on film. If there is one thing that you do when you go to Hawaii then this should be it. With the correct balance between ecology, safety and fun this must be the best activity by a mile and it still leaves time for surfing in the afternoon! Brilliant.

Outstanding! ~ Don't go hungover

Reviewed by: Sadiej

This activity is exceptional & absolutely delivers!
As a group of three we boarded the North Shore boat in various stages of hangover from an international conference. One mate was viciously seasick, another repeatedly seasick and I was moderately seasick (only had to hang my head over the boat once). It is a testament to this excursion that although we all felt absolutely awful we thought it was AMAZING and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Do not pass up the opportunity to see these incredible animals in crystal clear deep waters. Be sure to have something for motion sickness as it is a bumpy ride on the boat and in the cage.

Amazing!

Reviewed by: Amy

This was one of the most amazing things I have ever done. I was kind of nervous but the staff makes you feel at ease. There were so many sharks and you get at least a half hour in the tank. It's a nice view from the boat when the other group is in the cage. Sharks are amazing and beautiful creatures. Make sure you take some Gravol before you go. I got very seasick and I usually don't ever get sick. I will definately be doing this activity again when I come to Hawaii.

This was a brilliant trip and definitely one of the highlights of my holiday. To be just inches away from a 12ft Tiger Shark is a remarkable experience. Also got some brilliant pictures with my underwater camera. Loads of big sharks, crystal clear waters, friendly and knowledgable staff - a real must-do!

If you've never seen wild sharks...

Reviewed by: Aaron

this is definitely the activity for you. The staff aboard the boat are very friendly and knowledgeable (thanks Jeremy and Phillip!), and there WILL be sharks. I've actually been on a dive with sharks without a cage, so this wasn't as breathtaking for me, but if you've never seen sharks in the wild, I highly recommend this activitiy.

Fantastic!!!

Reviewed by: M & Mrs. M

Complete adrenaline rush!!! Would definitely go again and again!!! This coming from first timers!!! Although the water was very choppy, you felt safe in the cage. Just remember to be on the safe side, keep your feet and hands in the cage. You spend more than enough time with the sharks. The guides were friendly and informative. As we were leaving, a booby bird flew in and decided to hang out on the cage. We were also able to see a school of dolphins swimming by. We never did get anything to drink so, you might want to bring a bottle of water along. They also sell a Shark Encounter T-shirt which is pretty cool to wear and it let's everyone know of your experience. Remember to bring a waterproof camera as you'll want to take up-close pictures of the sharks!!!

The Shark Adventure was loads of fun! The only complaint we had was the rough condition of the sea... that's just the way it goes! Be aware that you will get tossed about inside the cage if the seas are rough, and be sure to take Dramamine.

You have a list called "10 things to do before I die" and you've just marked one thing as 'done' - this is what this tour feels like. Do it, and you won't regret. Just don't forget a pill of Bonine and waterproof camera with a long strap that you can put around your neck. If your camera is not waterproof, take it anyway, because you can take great pictures even from the boat.

Reviewed by: JRM from Pa.

My wife and I loved the shark encounter! Exhilarating but not dangerous. The staff was knowledgeable and good spirited. We are in our mid 50's - have done lots of stuff and this was truly unique. Besides loads of sharks we also saw a couple whales. Recommend you bring a water proof camera [taking digital videos and pulling frames for desired stills works best], go early because the water is usually calmer, and go on an empty stomach. The time in the cage went too fast me!
