About 9 to 10 sharks ranging from 7ft to 12ft. Close enough to touch. The two guides were awesome and fun. I'd do it again no doubt

Careless shark diving was a great experience.
No GoPros allowed on this trip but they take photos for you and some videos.
We saw two sharks on this trip and sandbar and a Galapagos but they were very active and would come very close, but you can also see them 80 yards down, because the water is clear.
The last 10 minutes you are somewhat free to dive down and swim with them.

It was truly awe inspiring to see these amazing animals in the wild. The crew was informative and helpful. The waters were choppier than normal, so there was some sea sickness, but that wouldn’t stop me from doing it again. Completely loved it!

We booked with VELTRA for our recent trip to Hawaii. They took care of us before, during and after our events. They also totally understood the reason for one of our party having to cancel last minute because of illness. I would recommend them for your activities.

Until I was told "You have control," I was enjoying the scenery and taking photos. Once my piloting began, I was so nervous that I could only focus on the front and the instruments, but after about five minutes, I was able to relax and take in the surrounding views. It was my first experience, and I think this is just the beginning.
As for infection control, we both wore masks and communicated through the intercom, so there were no droplets. Additionally, the cabin is ventilated with airflow coming in from the wings on both sides. Also, there is a mount for attaching a GoPro, so bringing a GoPro or similar device is possible.
「You have control」と言われるまでは景色眺めて写真撮ったりしてました。
自分の操縦が始まると緊張で前と計器しか見ていられなくなるけど、5分もすれば余裕が出て周りの景色見れました。
初めての経験でしたが、これが始まりなのかな、と思います。
感染対策はお互いマスクしてインカムでの会話になるので飛沫はありません。そして機内は左右に主翼からの風が入ってくるので換気されてます。
あとGOPROの取り付けマウントが備わっているのでGOPRO等持ち込み可能です。

I participated on my first day in Hawaii!
【From Pickup to Experience】
I arrived on an international flight in the morning and was picked up directly from the airport. After the flying experience, I headed to my accommodation, so there was no need for separate transportation arrangements, making everything very smooth! Before the flying experience, they provided Hawaiian juice and snacks at the waiting area in the office, which felt luxurious and clean, almost like a lounge. I was nervous about my first flying experience, but I was able to relax. The owner and the receptionist were both Japanese, and they guided me through the hangar facilities, explaining about the airplane and taking photos.
【Flying Experience】
After that, the pilot instructor, who had finished inspecting the airplane, came to pick me up from the office and explained the flight route and weather for the day. The instructor was a Korean-Hawaiian who spoke slowly in English, and the receptionist also acted as an interpreter, making it easy to understand. (I heard there are instructors who can speak Japanese, but they were off that day.) During the explanation, they mentioned that there would be turbulence right after takeoff and suggested that I try piloting in the northern part later on, which helped me prepare mentally. They took many photos of me getting ready in the cockpit (I sat on the left side of the captain's seat!).
Finally, it was time for takeoff, but the propeller was quite loud, so I communicated with the instructor using headphones and a microphone. I could also hear instructions from the control tower through the headphones, which was a valuable experience. Right after takeoff, it was quite bumpy (they provide a bag just in case), which was a bit scary, but the scenery was so beautiful, and I could take photos freely. The view of Hawaii from the cockpit is exceptional! The instructor provided ongoing explanations about where we were flying over, including islands, capes, and filming locations from Jurassic Park, so I got a good sense of the geography since it was my first time in Hawaii. During the flying experience, the instructor gave clear instructions using simple words, and since I had requested it in advance, they took several photos of me piloting. Even as a beginner, I found the flying experience very easy and enjoyable.
【After the Flying Experience】
While waiting for the photo data, I enjoyed juice and snacks in the lounge. Since I mentioned it was my first time in Hawaii, they showed me guidebooks available in the lounge and provided various information and photos about Hawaii. When they dropped me off at my accommodation, they explained Hawaiian information along the way, making me feel glad that I participated in this activity on my first day! I would love to experience it again!
ハワイ上陸初日に参加しました!
【送迎から体験前まで】
午前中に国際線で到着して、そのまま空港に迎えに来て頂き、操縦体験後、宿泊施設へ向かったので別で送迎手配も不要で大変スムーズでした!
操縦体験前にオフィスの待機場所でハワイのジュースやお菓子をご用意頂き、オフィスの待機場所や御手洗もどこかのラウンジみたいで高級感、清潔感があって、初めての操縦体験で緊張してましたがリラックスできました。
オーナーさん、受付ご担当の方が日本の方で、格納庫の施設案内をして下さり、飛行機の説明や写真を撮ってくれました。
【操縦体験】
その後、飛行機の点検を終えたパイロットイントラの方がオフィスへ迎えに来てくれて、今日の飛行ルートや天候の説明をしてくれました。
イントラは韓国系ハワイアンの方でゆっくりの英語で話して下さり、受付ご担当の方も通訳して下さったので分かりやすかったです。(当日はお休みでしたご日本語ができるイントラの方もいらっしゃるそうです)
説明の中で今日は離陸直後から気流が悪いという事や気流の影響も踏まえて、北側の後半辺りを操縦してみましょう。という話をしてくれたので心構えができました。
搭乗時もコクピットにスタンバイしている写真もたくさん撮って頂きました。(機長席の左側に座ります!)
いよいよ離陸ですが、プロペラがかなりの音なので、ヘッドホン&マイクでイントラとやり取りします。
ヘッドホンからは管制塔からの指示?等の無線も聞こえてくるので、それも貴重な体験です。
離陸直後はかなり揺れて(一応、嘔吐用の袋を持たせてくれます)怖かったですが、それ以上に景色がとても綺麗で自由に写真も撮れます。
コクピット席で見るハワイの風景は格別です!
イントラから、どの辺りを飛んでいるのか随時説明もしてくれます。島や岬、ジュラシックパークの撮影場所の等、初めてのハワイだったので地理がよく分かりました。
操縦体験中はイントラから分かりやすい単語で指示をしてもらい、事前にお願いしていたので操縦している所の写真も何枚か撮ってもらいました。
操縦体験は初心者の私でもとても簡単に楽しめました。
【操縦体験後】
写真のデーター待ちの間、先程のラウンジでジュースとお菓子を頂き、ハワイが初めてである事を話していたのでラウンジにあるガイドブックを見せてもらったり、受付ご担当の方からハワイの写真やいろいろ情報を教えてもらう事ができました。
宿泊施設へ送って頂く際も通り道の随所随所でハワイ情報の説明をして頂きながら送って頂けたので、初日にこのアクティビティに参加して良かったと思いました!
また体験したいです!

Cousin G was awesome! We had a great day. The morning activity we chose snorkeling. Unfortunately for others, the falls were closing on Monday’s starting THAT day due to covid restrictions, so everyone had to do snorkeling. Had some food from shrimp truck, it was okay. We stopped at a macadamia nut and coffee tasting place, that was really cool. We did kayaking for our afternoon activity- not a lot of shade so definitely bring sunscreen or wear a long sleeve top, we roasted on the river. Then we stopped in town. Was a great day on the north shore, thanks again cousin g!

Lexi was the name of our tour guide and she was friendly, experienced, funny and really provided my husband and I, a quality trail ride through North Shore’s Paradise.
Lexi reminded me of my home town friends whom I rodeoed with since I was a kid. After talking with her, instantly we shared memories and stories of our childhoods and our love for horses. It was my husbands first time on a horse so it was so fun sharing my passion with him. We enjoyed the scenery and the horses we're great. We rode “Mo mo” and “Trapper”. The whole experience from start to finish was excellent. I highly recommend Hawaii Polo Ocean Front Trail Rides to anyone who wants a few hours out on beautiful horses exploring the North Shore. Mahalo Lexi! Good luck in your future endeavors!

The hotel pickup was very kind and friendly, and the explanations before the flight were easy to understand. The pilot, Goro, who provided various explanations next to me, was also very approachable, and during the flight, he explained the piloting in a very understandable way. Furthermore, this day was my 60th birthday, and with good weather and no wind, it became the best experience.

Amazing experience with these spectacular creatures that don't get the credit they deserve. This tour was definitely an eye opener and will give participants a far better and more educated perspective about not only the shark population but several others as well. Thank you IslandView Inc and the 3 guides who made the experience far more sensational than I suppose I was expecting.

Saw lots of Sharks! They come real close up! Crew was professional and very nice. There were 2 groups of 6 people each that took turns in the shark cage on our trip. Just be aware that while waiting on the boat for your turn (or waiting for the other group to finish their shark encounter) you are stuck on the boat and it can get real rocky. If you are prone to se sickness take proper precautions! My girlfriend was prone to sea sickness and suffered a bit while waiting on the boat but she made it through. All in all it was a great experience!!

This experience was AMAZING! At peak, I counted 12 sharks swimming around & below us. A few of the large ones came level with us to check us out! It was intimidating & inspiring! Plus, there just happened to be a large barracuda where we anchored who seemed as curious by us as we were of the sharks!
I'll admit that I was intimidated at the thought of being cageless. When I saw the barracuda at the nose of the ship I was all the more intimidated. But, this was why I did cage-free, i wanted to stomp this fear/intimidation.
We were in the water for a long time (I think 30 to 40min). At around 20min I decided to let go of the ship & just swim around a bit with the sharks & the barracuda! I cannot describe the full experience. It was amazing being in a "foreign land" (the ocean) with these incredible creatures!
I got my money's worth & more and I absolutely will do another cage-free dive next time I visit! I've found a new love with this experience!
Also, the three employees who led our escapade were great, interactive, & friendly.
I highly recommend people bring a go-pro & selfie stick. Also, let go of the boat, even if briefly.
