We were surprised how many sharks we actually saw on this tour!! The staff was very friendly and informative. For those who (like me) do not like scuba diving, this activity only requires snorkeling. Just a tip: If you get any bit seasick, I would not recommend this for you unless you take a high dose of anti-motion sickness medicine before going. Both my husband and I got seasick and lost our lunch while doing the tour. Keep in mind, you are on North Shore with all the big waves and will be on a small boat getting tossed around for at least 2 hours. Overall a great adventure and highly recommended!

Awesome but expensive for what it was ...... 113$ for 2x15mn of boat and only 20mn in the cage with sharks, too short....

My buddy Jim and I took this tour and we were completely overwhelmed by how incredible the experience was! We have amazing photos from our underwater cameras to show all of our friends and we were astounded by the number of sharks we saw. This is a once in a lifetime experience that you should NOT miss - take this tour, you will not regret it!!!

We felt very safe & that was our number one issue. Staff was outstanding, we are going again in a few days. We will be telling all our friends what a great time we spent with the sharks.
Aloha

This is a must for anyone visiting the islands. My wife and I agreed this was by far the best thing we did while we were there. The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. The trip itself was a blast! The sharks were so cool to look at. Seeing them in person is just beyond words!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

What a great experience our dive was. Thank you, for making my first trip to Hawaii and my first dive with sharks the best. I enjoyed every part of this encounter from the staff to the sharks. We would love to do it again someday. Aloha...

Great ride out to the site. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They helped my daughter who did not want to get in the water take great pictures (she is 8). They were great.

A really proffesional activity, the staff were friendly and attentive, funny and informative.
We started the day being scared of sharks and ended up wanting to pat them! Probably not a good idea though as they have big teeth!

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.

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.

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.

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!

We didn't get any refreshments. And we recommend that you bring your own snorkling gear. Other than that we had an AWESOME time!! This is such an experience. I love sharks and this is as close as you can get with out being eaten...hahaha. We loved that there were so many sharks. We took so many pics and video's. We will be back again to do this!!!

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!!!

This was an awesome experience. You can't get any closer than this to live sharkes in the oceans. I could have reached out and touch them - but highly discouraged to do so.
This is an awesome experience and a great way to view sharks in thier own natural environment. Very graceful and peaceful to watch.

this is definitely not for the faint of heart! Although sharks do NOT like to eat humans (as it is commonly believed)! It is very exhilarating to watch them all around you. We would recommend it to anyone looking to have the experience of their lives!

The first major activity my friends and I did during our 4 day stay on Oahu and I have to say it was an amazing time, and definitely worth the experience.
