サメは、すごく近くに10匹程度みえます。思っていた以上の迫力で、最高でした。
最悪なのは、船酔い。特に行きの船は、これでもかってくらい、揺れます。日本では、まず出向しないくらいの波です。私たちは、忘れてしまいましたが、酔い止め必須です。あっても、あれは、酔うかもしれないレベルです。

This excursion exceeded our expectations! The crew was personally and knowledgeable about sharks and the ocean sea life. We had plenty of time in the water with the sharks because of the small group. We also saw a huge pod of dolphins 40-60 jumping out of the water traveling out to our final destination. We felt like they were putting on a show just for us. Important to note we never felt in danger while observing the sharks in the cage. Our guides were professional and patient with the timid swimmers. It was a bucket-list check off for us. We recommend an underwater camera or waterproof pouch for your iPhone. Don’t miss these amazing moments with the sharks. We will back! We highly recommend this excursion! Thanks for an incredible experience!!

So glad we chose Haleiwa Shark Tours/Three Local Boys! Only had six people on boat and cage held six people! We never had to get out of cage! Saw between 10-20 sharks, hard to tell exactly because there was ALWAYS 4-6 in view! The captain and his mate, terrible at names but think Captain was Chris, both very knowledge about history of island and pointed them out as we were going to drop spot. Felt very comfortable in cage - anybody can do this! I'd love to back tomorrow, but we are leaving. HIGHLY recommend Haleiwa Shark Tours

We went for the shark cage adventure on 1st September. It was one of the most terrifying thing we were doing before we started.
The boat was easy to spot, and the best part they waited for us as we got a little late due to road closures. Thumbs up for veltra and the excursion team to work with us on this and keeping us feeling relaxed.
Pro tip: road closures in oahu are really bad, keep more than usual buffer time for your travel.
The boat ride was really choppy, as we were already informed that there were very high waves. The ride could have been slowed down a little(my wife puked due to sea sickness)
Once at the site, we went down in the cage, and after initial jitters of maybe a minute, you start feeling better and safe. So all the folks who are afraid to do so, please just get in the cage, I promise it gets better.
Waters here were again choppy, meaning we were constantly bumping with cage or someone else.
The.good part was we could see multiple galapego sharks, they are magnificent creatures. We saw two upclose and they were big(7-8 feet long).
Ride back was again on rough waters and could have been slowed down a little.
The guides were ok, could have been better and maybe helped us a bit more in water and calming our nerves a little.

去年の11月に夫婦で参加しました。
大しけの中、強行突破のような形で船を出したようで、乗員のほぼ全員激しく船酔いしていました。飲んでいた酔い止め薬も効果ナシでした(笑)
サメの恐怖ではなく、あまりの波の高さと激しい揺れに、このまま死ぬのではないか、と言う感じたことのない恐怖に襲われました。あまりに激しく揺れるので、同じ船に乗っていた欧米の方々も苦笑でした。
シケでしたので、ゲージに入っても海を見渡せない。サメがかなり近くに来ないと姿を確認できなかったです。5匹ほど見れましたが、ゲージ内の揺れがすごいのと船酔いで気持ち悪いのであまり記憶がありません(笑)他の参加者も吐きながらサメを見る、といったかなり過酷な現場でした(笑)
天気の良い日は他の方が投稿されているように、たくさんのサメに出会えるようですね。日本ではなかなかできない体験(大しけの航海も漁師さんたち以外はなかなか体験できなさそう)ですので是非参加してみてください。

Me and my friend first agreed to do a caged experience with the sharks, but I'm so glad we chose to do it without the cage! It was a better experience. The guides were helpful and experienced, and we luckily saw a Tiger shark! We did this on our last day in Hawaii and it wound up being the best part of our trip!

Awesome,great experience! Safe, highly recommend this tour. As a travel agent will recommend Hawaii Shark Encounter to people who looking extreme .Suggestions: Make a video for people from the side. People will love it to see themselves in the cage surrounding by different types of sharks.

This was a surprise for my girlfriends birthday and she loved it! We saw so many of sharks! We had done one of the other shark dive without a cage on a smaller boat and did not have the greatest experience.(she got seasick, swimming in strong current, only saw one shark, un-attentive crew...) This experience was the complete opposite. The shark cage makes it so easy to relax in the water and just watch the sharks. Not fighting against the current for this type of experience really makes a huge difference. And you are never worried about what is behind you! The boat itself made a big difference as well. It is an extremely stable power catamaran and is one of the smoothest riding boats i have been on. The captain and crew are one of the friendliest I have encountered. They make sure you are taken care of and happy to share their knowledge of literally everything you can see out on the water and on the island.

今まで水族館でしか見たことのない鮫が、目の前で優雅にヒレを振り近づいてきます。安全性も担保されており、全く不安なく見ていられます。
是時一度野生の鮫の姿を見て下さい。

This was, quite simply, AMAZING! The crew were all super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. As soon as we reached the snorkel spot we saw sharks, which came pretty close. We would absolutely do this again.

Barely arrived on spot, shark fins started to show around our boat. That alone was already impressive and exciting!
While in the cage, you get to admire them gracefully swim around and under the cage... beauty!
Few tips:
- Waterproof phone pouch with wrist lanyard recommended to take underwater videos, we're so glad we had one! Just make sure not to live the whole experience through your phone ;)
- Even if you're not sea/motion sick, I suggest you have a ginger chew or two (Chimes brand are good). This will help settle your stomach as it can get bumpy under there.
Big thanks to our guides, very chill and knowledgeable!
PS: we also got to see dolphins splashing and following our boat on the way back, that was also priceless!

港へつくと「危ない」という怪しげな名前の船がお迎えに来てくれました(笑)日本語は通じないですが、スタッフの方がの気遣いがわかりました。
日本語での説明書はありました。
出発するとすぐにイルカの大群が泳いでるのが見れました!
船はかなり揺れます、口コミを見ていたので酔い止めを飲んでいきました。
帰りには半分くらいの人がグロッキーになっていましたので、酔い止めは必須です。
あと、寒い!天気のせいか実施場所の海も冷めで帰りの船がめちゃくちゃ寒いので対策必要です。
サメは結構いました。だいたいグループで10分見れる感じです。
最初はドキドキでしたが、さすがにだんだん慣れてきます。
なかなか体験できないサメとのシュノーケル良かったです。

ポイントまで行き檻に入って泳ぎましたが揺れがすごく楽しめた時間は少なくなってしまいました。
酔い止め必須ですね。
サメも思っていたより小さく人間慣れしているのか特に迫力はなかったです。

波の影響が少ないので朝早い出発がオススメと書かれていた為、
09:00発のツアーを申し込みました。
送迎をつけると高いのでレンタカーで現地集合プランを選択。
ホノルルからは1時間程で到着しました。
受付やツアーガイドは英語のみですが、
日本語の案内表等もあったので不便はありませんでした。
出航してから20分程でポイントに到着。
到着するとボートの周りに沢山のサメが寄ってきました。波の影響が少ない朝早い出発が良いとあった為、
09:00発のツアーを申し込みました。
レンタカーを借りていた為、現地集合にしましたが、ホノルルからは1時間程で到着しました。
受付やツアーガイドは英語のみですが、日本語の案内表等もあったので不便はありませんでした。
ポイントに到着した際は波が高く、酔い止めは必須だと思いました。
7-8名のグループ毎にケージの中に入ります。
水中カメラを持参したのですが、波がありなかなか上手く撮れませんでした。。
が、目の前をサメが優雅に泳ぐ姿は感動しました。

初めは、少し緊張しながらバンを待っていたのですが、20分くらい遅刻して来て一緒にまってな外国人夫婦と、まだ来ないね…と心配していました。特に何も言わなかったので寝坊かな??と思いました。そして、皆さんの体験談を読んで居たので、あらかじめ酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。もともと乗り物酔いしないタイプだったので、私は、酔わなかったのですが、母が乗り物酔いしやすいタイプで、船に乗ってゲージまで行くところまでは、元気だったのですが、逆に海の中に入ってからの方が波の揺れも激しく、そこで酔ってしまってしました。一緒にツアーに参加した数人の外国人の方も酔っていて、吐いている人もいました。ゲージの中へは、3組~4組くらい一緒に入って、その間にクルーの人達がエサをまいてくれるので、サメがたくさん寄ってきてくれます。でも、近くまで来ても襲って来ることも無く、かなり近くで見れて迫力があります。なかなか出来ない体験なので、一緒に居た高齢の外国人夫婦もかなり興奮していました!!一応着替える場所、トイレもあるのですが、みんな水着の上にシャツを着てそのまま帰っていました。あとは小さな売店??みたいなのが来ていて、迎えのバンが来るまでスナックやジュースを買って待っていました。是非、参加してみてもいいと思います。

You never get tired of seeing sandbar and Galapagos sharks in their natural environment. Third time out with OneOcean and second with safety diver Kayleigh. We even were treated to surfacing humpbacks on the way out! Look forward to my fourth dive!

Ocean was beyond amazing! This was like a dream come true. Ocean taught us about sharks and their environment and behaviors. She taught us ocean conservation and shark conservation. The tides we a bit tough so highly advise being mentally prepared and physically prepared. Overall amazing experience. I can’t wait for my next trip to Oahu and do this again. The best experience ever. I hold such a special place in my heart for the ocean and seeing how special of a place it holds to ocean is heartwarming and amazing. This experience brings such joy to my soul. Amazing.

I love the ocean and swim with sharks in Hawaii was on my bucket list. To celebrate my 78th birthday, my daughter decided to take me on this amazing shark cage diving tour. What a great experience! We saw a lot of different species of sharks, they are amazing animals. The crew was really nice and made us feel safe during the entire process. Thank you HawaiiActivities.com for helping me during our booking process. This was the best birthday gift I could ask for!

サメが好きなので国内でもサメと泳ぐ等していたのですが、
今回のプランのサメは宣伝写真程大きくありません。期待外れでした。
ですが、初めてサメを間近で見た別の参加チームは非常に感動しており、チップも弾んでいたようです。
また、シュノーケルのため海面が非常に揺れ、大変酔いやすいです。
船も酔う可能性があるので、Wパンチにならないよう、酔い止めの服用をおすすめします。

My wife and I had such a great experience! The sharks come close but stay at a safe distance. The guides are very knowledgeable about the ocean and have utmost respect for the sea. I recommend taking the earliest trip to have the calmest sea so you don’t have to work too hard fighting waves and currents. A+ outfit!

The guys on boat really do a great job. We had a lot of sharks around and great memories made. We will be coming back again for sure. Only wish a few other types of sharks would have joined us. A hammerhead or tiger shark would have been a treat. I studied sharks in Oceanography for 3 years. So know a ton about sharks. Loved every second of being in the water with them.
