About this activity

Departing from Haleiwa Small Boat Harbor on Oahu's beautiful North Shore, relax on a 3-mile (5-km) cruise to your shark-filled destination. Along the way, you may see Hawaiian green sea turtles, dolphins and, depending on the season, even humpback whales!

Your safety is the upmost priority, so your expert crew will give you a safety orientation and a briefing on what to expect during your shark viewing. When you arrive at the viewing spot, strap on your provided masks and snorkels and step inside the secure shark cage. You'll then be lowered into the cobalt-blue water for a 20 minute shark-viewing adventure.

With a visibility of up to 200 feet (60 meters), you'll feel your adrenaline pump as you watch the ocean's top predators approaching you from the depths below. The sharks will swim just inches away from you, so bring an underwater camera to document this thrilling experience! Don't worry -- you're safe within the confines of the metal cage, letting you view the sharks with ease.

The sharks commonly sighted in this area are gray reef sharks, Galapagos sharks, sandbar sharks and hammerhead sharks, ranging in size from 5 to 15 feet (1.5 to 4.5 meters). The cage holds two people comfortably and can hold up to eight people at a time, depending on the weather conditions.

If you do not wish to enter the shark cage, simply continue relaxing on board -- there are ample surface-viewing opportunities as the sharks circle the boat.

Shark sightings guaranteed or your money back!

Guide is great, super funny. The sharks are pretty big and abundant. Definitely bring motion sickness medicine because you sit for a while and the waves are violent.

Definitely worth the effort of leaving the hotel at 05:30am. Everything perfect, crew on boat helpful and entertaining

What a great way to spend the morning. The ride to the boat dock was great and Gabe was an amazing driver. He called to make sure I knew he was on his way(running late because the first group wasn't ready) and his conversation was great and made the 45-55 minute drive go by quickly. The boat crew was excellent and they made sure we were informed every step of the way. The trip out to the cage was quick and made for growing excitement. The equipment was excellent and only 6 people were in the cage at one time. We had many sharks(over 6-7) come to investigate us. I got a lot of great GoPro video and the crew offers to tape this for you if you don't have a camera. Some people bought a waterproof camera bag at the check-in shed prior to heading out. We were in the cage as advertised a full 20 minutes. I was not disappointed with the amount of time like I thought I would. This a great way to spend a few hours on your trip to the North Shore.

This was so much fun I would recommend it to anyone. There was about 10 to 12 sharks and they were amazing. Worth every penny!!

This was an great experience. Super cool crew ensured we had the best experience ever. Captain Dave, Ariel and Collin were incredible. Plenty of sharks and a couple of barracudas circled our cage for the full 20 minutes of allotted time. Highly recommend.

Captain and crew very nice and fun. Just as we were getting in the cage, the captain called it off due to very rough water. He was very sorry and we were disappointed but we really appreciated him being very cautious with our lives. We had fun anyway and hope to do the dive next time we go.

Pros: everything directly connected to sharks was well above expectations. Boat ride out and back, instructions, equipment, knowledge of crew, and most of all, being in the water with the sharks. Incredible experience being thatclose to some pretty sizable, beautiful, creatures.Cons: we see the tip jar. Asking directly for tips is beyond classless. Especially given what we paid for the trip. The van we were transported to and from should be retired, and the loud rap/ horrible/ inappropriate music and music playing driver, need to be replaced immediately. Guess what guys? Not everyone in this fading country enjoys garbage “music”. Maybe some enjoyable classic Hawaiian stuff? And the fit the driver threw after finally being asked to turn it off, was ridiculous. Slamming down his music source? Slamming the van door at stops? Really? We payed to be held captive by this guy? Overall, awesome shark experience, but for that price, class it up a little, huh?

This was a once in a life time opportunity and we got to see around 5 galapagos sharks. The only reason for the 4 stars is because a jellyfish got in the cage, and many of us got stung. But honestly this is a must go!

Took my 10 year old nephew and we loved it. 8 go out at one time, but you still have plenty of viewing room.

Absolutely brilliant. Very much outside of my comfort zone but I loved every minute of the dive. Staff were wonderful-always felt like we were in safe hands. I really appreciated the concern from them when I was feeling ill. Lovely experience overall. Highly recommend.

Great experience even if the water was a little choppy. The crew did everything they could to make us feel safe and comfortable.
