Head into the world of sharks with an Oahu shark cage dive where you get unobstructed views from inside the safety of a metal cage that is perfect for taking underwater photos. No swimming skills are needed.
Be whisked away on a boat departing from Haleiwa Harbor and take a three-mile journey to swim with sharks with water visibility of around 500-feet. The curious Galapagos and Sandbar sharks will suddenly appear from the ocean depths as you climb into the cage for a closer look. The crew of expert professionals applies years of knowledge and experience to provide you with a completely safe environment where humans and sharks are properly introduced, and they will share facts about shark biology and behavior, ocean life, conservation, and the significance of sharks in Hawaiian culture and mythology. Come and experience an epic Oahu shark cage diving adventure!
Why do travelers choose this tour?
The scenic boat ride gives you the best views of the islands as you head out from Haleiwa and on your way back. When you get to the site, you can even see sharks swimming in waters that are 150 ft deep.
The tour features glass windows in the cage that give you the best views of the sharks from every angle, and perfect for taking photos and videos.
With only six divers in each cage, you get an immersive experience with family and friends to see different shark species below the water.
Hawaii Shark Encounter is a family-friendly tour welcoming children ages five years old and above as a cage diver or as an observer on the boat.
Local expert tips
This activity books up quickly, and we highly suggest booking at least two weeks in advance, especially during busy seasons like summer and spring break.
What to bring: Swimwear, change of clothes, reef-safe sunscreen, waterproof camera, and a bottle of water.
Recommended attire: Casual clothing that you don't mind getting wet.
Due to the nature of the boat and ocean conditions, we recommend that all guests take a motion sickness preventative at least one hour before the boat departure time.
Best time of the year to visit: Spring and summer offer the calmest ocean conditions during the year, and during fall and winter, be sure to book early morning tours for the best viewing options. It’s always important to check local conditions and forecasts before planning your activities as inclement weather may affect underwater visibility.
How to get there?
The Haleiwa small boat harbor is located about an hour away from Waikiki. If you're driving, head straight to Haleiwa Harbor on Oahu's North Shore which is located at 66-101 Haleiwa Rd, Haleiwa, HI 96712.
Boat information
The boat is 32 ft long and 10ft wide, and Coast Guard certified to carry up to 18 passengers. Powered by a 450 HP Cummins Turbo Diesel engine with a top speed of over 20 knots, you will quickly get to the shark site from the harbor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I go outside of the cage? A: No, you will not be permitted to swim outside of the cage.
Q: Do I need experience with scuba diving or snorkeling to go inside the shark cage? A:No. You only need to be able to climb down a short ladder and hang onto a handrail. We get many people that don't even know how to swim.
Q: Can the cage sink? A: No, there are floats surrounding the cage on all sides to keep it level in the water. The cage is tied to the boat and the top of the cage is 2 feet above the surface.
Q: How secure will I be inside the cage? A:There are handrails to hold on to and stand on all around the cage. You can stabilize yourself while you float on the surface or you can pull yourself a little lower for a different view. None of your body parts will ever have to extend outside the bars.

Booking requirements (# of participants, vehicles, hours, etc.)
Q. Can I go out on the boat, but not go inside the cage?
A. Absolutely! There is not a bad seat in the house. From the boat you can see the sharks swimming near or on the surface with their fins slicing through the water. Of course the best view is from inside the cage.
Q. Will I get seasick?
A. If you are prone to motion sickness, yes you will. During the shark encounter, the boat is drifting with the engine off. Even on the calmest days, the boat never stops rocking. If you plan on taking something like Dramamine, read the instructions. It must be taken in advance. Fortunately, if you get sick, the tour is only two hours and land is an instant cure. Even those that get sick have a tremendous time.
Q. What if I have a great fear of sharks?
A. No problem. We have had many people on board that were terrified. Within a few minutes of being inside the cage you will be completely comfortable. We have seen it many times before. Seeing these magnificent creatures and how they behave will change your attitude and ease your fears forever.
Q. Is there a money back guarantee?
A. Yes, if you don't see sharks, you don't pay!
Q. Are there photo or video services available on board?
A. Yes, GoPro rentals are available for $50 per rental and includes an SD card with a collection of digital photos from your tour.
There are also one time use underwater cameras for sale and a Shark DVD (previous tour footage) that shows the whole experience plus a selection of the best shark images.
Q. Is there anything else to do in the area for those in my party that are not going on the boat?
A. Absolutely. The harbor is surrounded by beautiful public beaches. The harbor is located within walking distance of lots of great shops and site seeing in Haleiwa town

FAQ
Can I go out on the boat, but not go inside the cage?
Absolutely! There is not a bad seat in the house. From the boat you can see the sharks swimming near or on the surface with their fins slicing through the water. Of course the best view is from inside the cage.
Will I get seasick?
If you are prone to motion sickness, yes you will. During the shark encounter, the boat is drifting with the engine off. Even on the calmest days, the boat never stops rocking. If you plan on taking something like Dramamine, read the instructions. It must be taken in advance. Fortunately, if you get sick, the tour is only two hours and land is an instant cure. Even those that get sick have a tremendous time.
What if I have a great fear of sharks?
No problem. We have had many people on board that were terrified. Within a few minutes of being inside the cage you will be completely comfortable. We have seen it many times before. Seeing these magnificent creatures and how they behave will change your attitude and ease your fears forever.
Is there a money back guarantee?
Yes, if you don't see sharks, you don't pay!
Are there photo or video services available on board?
Yes, GoPro rentals are available for $50 per rental and includes an SD card with a collection of digital photos from your tour.
There are also one time use underwater cameras for sale and a Shark DVD (previous tour footage) that shows the whole experience plus a selection of the best shark images.
Is there anything else to do in the area for those in my party that are not going on the boat?
Absolutely. The harbor is surrounded by beautiful public beaches. The harbor is located within walking distance of lots of great shops and site seeing in Haleiwa town
