Oahu
I've been to Hawaii many times, but this time I wanted to join a tour that I had never done before, and I found this one. At first, my wife and I were anxious because the guide only spoke English and it involved sharks, but once we participated, the guide was kind and entertained us with easy-to-understand English mixed with Japanese. When we dove into the ocean, we were overwhelmed by the countless sharks in the incredibly blue sea, but by the end, my wife and I were so into it that we said we wanted to dive even more. I recommend this for those who are familiar with Hawaii and looking for some excitement.
ハワイには何度も行っていますが今回は今までにしたことのないツアーに参加したくてこのツアーを見つけました。
最初はガイドが英語のみだしサメということで妻と二人で不安でしたが実際に参加してみるとガイドの方は親切でわかりやすい日本語まじりの英語で楽しませてくれました。
海に潜ると今までに見たこともない真っ青な海に数え切れない程のサメに圧倒されましたが終わるころには妻と二人でもっと潜っていたいねと言うほどのめり込んでしまいました。
ハワイに慣れて刺激を求める方にお勧めです。

I participated in September 2006.
Aside from my husband and me, the other tour participants were four white Americans and Australians.
On the boat, the staff provides safety instructions before we enter the cage that is submerged in the sea.
English was sufficient, but there are explanation panels in Japanese for Japanese participants.
As we head out to sea on a private boat, we see sharks appearing one after another.
Then we enter the cage that is submerged in the sea to see the sharks.
It was really thrilling.
They keep throwing food in, so the sharks come one after another.
It was so much fun.
However, since we were offshore, there were quite a few waves. Watching the sharks from a cage that was half floating in the waves made me feel quite seasick.
The nausea hit me more after getting back on the boat.
My husband and an American woman ended up getting sick on the boat.
I found it tough, but I managed to hold it in.
It seems that people often get sick, and the staff casually said, "Feeling unwell? Just throw up outside the boat." They had plenty of water available for us to drink.
Despite those little mishaps, I think it was a very enjoyable experience. I highly recommend it.
2006年9月に参加しました。
ツアー参加者は私たち夫婦以外は、アメリカ人、オーストラリア人の白人が4人でした。
船上でスタッフの方が海中に檻を沈めてから中に入るまでの注意をしてくれます。
英語で足りましたが、日本人用には日本語の説明パネルがあります。
専用のボートで沖に行くと、出るわ出るわサメさんたちが。
そして海中に沈めた檻に入ってサメをみます。
いや~迫力でしたよ。
エサをどんどん投げ入れるので、サメは次々に来ます。
楽しかった~。
でもね、沖合い（？）なので割と波があるんです。その波に半分浮かんだ折の中でサメを見るので、結構酔います。
酔いは船にあがってからの方がきます。
夫とアメリカ人の女性は船上で戻してしまいました。
私はツラかったけど、我慢した。
吐く人はしょっちゅういるみたいで、スタッフさんは「気分悪い？、船の外に吐いて吐いて」みたいな感じであっさりでした。お水もたくさん用意されていて飲ませてくれました。
そんなハプニングもありながら、とても楽しい体験だと思います。オススメです。

Great trip, with a very knowledgeable captain and crew.
Bring your underwater camera for some pictures of a lifetime,,,, so you think!
You will be back to enjoy this again.
Visibility was well over 50 feet and the water was a crystal clear deep blue.
When you are in the cage you are totally protected and safe, yet as the sharks come so close you feel as if you are out there with them.
The only bad thing for me were the pretty high waves, which made it difficult to hold the camera still. (As seen from the pictures)
This experience is on the 'To Do on the next trip' list.
Thanks everyone involved
I have done this shark encounter twice now and it does not disappoint!!! Ever come face to face with a tiger shark? Here is your chance. Do it and you will not regret it. Besides, it gets you out of the hectic city of waikiki/honolulu, and the best bragging rights ever with your friends!!!
I'm glad I could do it in Japanese.
日本語で出来て良かった。

We wish the dvd player would have been working so that we could have purchased a personalized copy of our tour. Getting a basic one for free was nice though...thanks for trying to do the right thing!
This was BY FAR the funnest and most exciting thing we did on the island!! SO SO SO many sharks, too cool! Staff was great, knowledgable, funny! Such a great time!
Great activity!! We saw so many sharks ranging from 4-15 feet long. We were lucky enough to be in Hawaii at the right time to see tiger sharks.
There were so many of them. I expected one or two but there were more then a dozen. Captain Bubba and Brandon were fabulous. My husband didn't want to go but ended up not wanting to get out of the cage because he was having such a blast! Definately something to do again.
Had a great time. The two (skippers)?,
were very good at what they did. I would
do it again when I go back to your
wonderful Island..S.T.
I just want to say the tour was fantastic and our guide/bus driver, Leo was the best. The man deserves a raise.
Keep up the good work!!!
Debbie & Tracy from Kansas
just ok. wouldn't do it again. rent a car instead!
This time, I participated in a shark tour for the first time. It was just the three of us: my 14-year-old son, my 65-year-old father, and me, 39 years old. My husband, daughter, and mother were too scared and explored the North Shore instead. I took motion sickness medicine before getting on the boat, but the significant rocking made me feel a bit queasy even before diving. The North Shore has bigger waves in winter, so those participating in winter should be prepared.
However, after two groups of foreigners joined us, it was our turn to dive. When we went underwater with our snorkels, we saw beautiful sharks swimming around our cage, and my excitement skyrocketed!! It was mystical and truly beautiful. The staff only understood a little Japanese, but there are manuals written in Japanese, so it’s manageable. My son is saying he wants to do it again!!
今回、初めてシャークツアーの参加しました。
息子14歳、父65歳、私39歳の3人の参加。
主人、娘、母は怖がり、ノースショアを探索しておりました。
酔い止めを飲んで舟に乗った私でしたが、かなりの揺れに、
海に潜る前から、少々気分は悪かったです。ノースショアは、冬場はもっと波が出るでしょうから、冬に参加される方は覚悟がいります。
・・・が、外国人の方々が2組入ったあと、私達の番で、いざ潜ってシュノーケルで海の中を見ると、綺麗なサメが沢山、私達の檻の周りを泳いでいて、一気にテンションが上がりました！！
神秘的で、本当に美しかったです。
スタッフの方も、日本語はほんの少ししか通じませんが、日本語で書いてあるマニュアルもありますし、大丈夫です。
息子は、またやりたい！！と言っています

This was are favorite activity. You are taken out 3 miles from the shore in 400+ ft of water and put in a cage while chum is thrown from the boat. Then its a shark fest. We seen about 20+ Galapagos sharks. Bring a waterproof camera to capture the excitement. It was really difficult for us to get pictures because the water was so choppy, but out of 27 pictures we got 20 great pictures.
I cannot stress enough how fun and exciting this activity was! I went on the early morning boat out to see sharks on a rainy, gray morning and was THRILLED to see sharks from the boat before ever getting in the water. BIG ones. SCARY ones. But I got in the cage anyway and was then floated out behind the boat with other shark fans. The sharks swam all around the cage the entire time - so close I could reach out and touch them if I dared. I took all my underwater pictures with my disposable camera in about 3 minutes! This was just an incredible experience, which I would love to do again. It was nice to be underwater with them (snorkeling) where you could watch them so closely, although you don't have to get in the cage if you don't want to - you can see them from the boat. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
This was by far the best snorkeling trip my husband and I have ever gone on, partly because of luck, but also because of the knowledgeable crew. When we got on the boat we were informed that we could go to a reef and snorkel or we could swim with dolphins. Apparently the crew was informed that there were an unusual number of dolphins in a small area that day. Everyone agreed on dolphins. We swam with so many dolphins - it was useless to even try to count them. The crew was fun and laid back which made it an even more pleasant experience. Will definately go again if given the opportunity!
We had a family of 17 on this tour (all ages) and everyday we kept discussing things we had learned on the tour. Even at the airport we kept talking about how great it was to have done this the first day, because we could then make better decisons about the rest of our trip.
My mother insisted on signing up for something she absolutely wanted to do! My father and I (both university students) were like, "What?!" This is my third time in Hawaii. Every time I go, my mother challenges herself with various activities! Climbing to the top of Diamond Head, stargazing on the Big Island at night, scuba diving, horseback riding, bodyboarding... and so on (laughs). The highlight was definitely skydiving! It's a must-do! The staff were amazing! I was surprised to see Taguchi from KAT-TUN participating privately! It became a great memory. I will go again and bring photos from that time!
母親がどうしても絶対にやりたいと申し込んでしまいました！父と私は（大学生）えっ~！っとびっくり！私は三度目のハワイ。行くたびに、母はいろんなｺﾄにチャレンジ！
ダイヤモンドヘッド頂上登山、ハワイ島の夜の☆観測、スキューバーダイビング、乗馬、ボディボード・・・などなど（笑）やっぱり最高だったのがスカイダイビング！絶対やるべき！スタッフの方達が最高ﾟ+｡:.ﾟヽ(*´∀`)ﾉﾟ.:｡+ﾟ
ＫＡＴ−ＴＵＮの田口くんがプライベートで参加しててびっくり！いい思い出になりました。また行きます。その時の写真を持って(*^ｰﾟ)ﾉ

I booked the lunch ride for myself and Daughter in June of 2007. I have to commend the Gunstock Ranch, we had such a wonderful time with our 2 tour guides and saw the beautiful sights of Oahu from the bottom to the top. Were we found seashells on the very top of the mountain and mongoose along the path to get there. The Lunch and the company the tour forward will last us forever until we can get back again to do it all over, I would not hesitate to recommend this extremely enjoyable activity. If you ever need a recommendation please let me know.
Never been on a helicopter so this was really exciting for me. It is a great way to see the island. The way you are seated in the helicopter is by weight distribution with other passangers so it is by chance you get the window seat or not. The only small complain I have is that I wish the pilot could have circled or turned around on some spots so everyone could have a chance to view the scene. I was lucky to have a window seat but there where times when I had to strain over to see a tourist spot on the other side of the copter and I would be lucky if I was even able to catch a small glimpse of whatever the attraction was.
This time, my husband and I experienced skydiving for the first time. The moment we jumped out of the plane was so quick that I didn't have time to feel scared; I was dropped on a count of one, two, three, so I didn't feel that much fear. The weather was nice, and the view was really beautiful.
However, while falling, the wind was strong, making it hard to breathe. Additionally, when the instructor asked me, "Do you like roller coasters?" and I answered, "Yes!" I was spun around to the right and left, which made me feel a bit nauseous. There were also others doing aerial spins.
My instructor was Japanese, so after the parachute opened, he explained various things while we enjoyed the scenery, which made it easy to understand. I'm glad I was able to land safely. The video and photos became great keepsakes.
今回主人と２人でスカイダイビングを初体験しました。
飛行機から飛び降りる瞬間は、怖いと思うまもなく、ワン・ツー・スリーで落とされたのでそんなに怖さは感じませんでした。天気が良かったので、すごく綺麗でした。
ただ、落ちている間風が強くて、息がしづらかったです。おまけに、インストラクターの方に「ジェットコースターは好きですか？」と聞かれたので、「はい！」と答えたら、右回りや左回りにくるくる回され、体を締め付けられているから、少し気持ちが悪かったです。空中回転している方もいらっしゃいました。
私のインストラクターは日本人の方だったので、パラシーウトが開いたあと、景色を
見ながらいろいろ説明してくれたので分かりやすかったです。なんとか、無事に着地する事が出来てよかったです。ビデオや写真も記念になりました。

Rough in the cage, but many sharks, very scary!
Very good for first time event. Would do it next time we are back in hawaii. I did tell a few people at the hotel, who did book and take the same event. Got some very good pictures.
Absolutley fantastic!! We couldn't believe just how close you get to the sharks. An amazing experience
Our family participated with three children. It was amazing to see sharks up close and so safely. The captain was also very kind. I absolutely recommend this as a must-do activity in Hawaii. We also purchased a DVD, which allowed us to enjoy the beauty and excitement of the sharks again at home.
私たち家族子供と３人で参加しました。サメがあんなに安全に近くで見れるなんて感動です。キャプテンもとても親切でした。自慢できるハワイのアクティビティーとして絶対おすすめです。ＤＶＤも購入し、これまた自宅でも再度サメの美しさと迫力をエンジョイしました。

It was a great experience. I look forward to doing it again.
It was a great experience. I look forward to doing it again.
There is nothing like swimming in the warm ocean while being surrounded by sharks. It was an unreal experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The staff was awesome!
Excellent way to sightsee - no traffic, no buses - our best experience here yer!
The dive was awesome. We had to reschedule due to bad weather, but I didn't mind because I appreciated the captain canceling the trip instead of taking me out for a bad trip. The experience was great, it made my time in Hawaii totally worth it. I would recommend this trip and this group to everyone. It's the best trip you can go on in the islands.
