North Shore Shark Adventures

Book Now / View Price

Your adventure begins with a short 15-minute boat ride that will take you three miles out from Haleiwa Small Boat Harbor. You'll take in the breathtaking views of Oahu's North Shore and may even encounter dolphins, green sea turtles, or majestic humpback whales (December-May).


When the water turns a deep cobalt blue and reaches depths of 200-400 feet, the shark cage, which floats on top of the water, is lowered and in only a moment's time you will see sharks rise from the deep! At this point, you'll have the opportunity to enter the very secure shark cage for as long as you wish (those in your group who do not wish to enter the shark cage, may book the half-price Boat Tour rate, and watch sharks from the boat).


This thrilling experience will profoundly affect your feelings towards sharks. Typically you will encounter Gray Reef Sharks, Galapagos Sharks, and Sandbar Sharks, ranging from 5 to 15 feet in length. Occasionally, there have been visits from the mysterious Tiger or Hammerhead Sharks!


Please Click HERE to see the four species of sharks you will be viewing.

The Boat & Crew: The Kailolo, meaning "Water Crazy," is a 26-foot Anderson boat with a swim step on the transom. The crew has had life long ties to the sea and their first priority is your safety and well-being. They enjoy sharing with you their knowledge of Hawaii's sharks and their goal is to lead you to a better understanding of sharks.
