Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Don't come to Oahu and not experience this adventure!!! It's worth the entire visit

Reviewed by: Jacquelyn

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.
The lead guys name was Sam but unfortunately, I don't recall the other two who were out in the water with us and taking photos. They absolutely made this adventure outstanding for us all!! You guys are awesome. I'll be back!!!

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, SUP & Waikiki Transport

Worth It

Reviewed by: Gary

We booked this one instead of the self kayaking to the Sandbar, and it was definitely worth it. If you want the relaxing and chill experience, and have fun, book this one. Our captain/crew was super nice and great. They take you to the sandbar, which is super beautiful, and you hangout there for about 1-2 hours, they provide you with boards and water equipments so you don't have to bring your own. The snorkeling was pretty cool too, didn't see any turtles though but still beautiful and great experience.

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

Don't take small children.

Reviewed by: Mom of 4

We had a party of 6, 2 adults, 14yo, 10 yo, 7yo, and 5 yo. We took 3 tandem kayaks. Wish we could have done 2 since the younger 2 were basically extra weight! The guide did not show good snorkeling so the tedious paddle to the sand bar was not exciting for the family.

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Had a fantastic time

Reviewed by: Dmitry

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!!

I loved the experience of swimming near those sharks it was a unique experience to see how huge these animals are and how beautiful is the marine life. I thought I was going to see 2-3 sharks and when I arrived there were more than 20. The boat left on time. The staff was very nice, thoughtful. They made us feel safe and answered all our questions.

It was the last night of our Hawaii vacation and the cruise was beautiful! The food was very good and the sunset was just breathtaking! Our waiter, Denny, made sure we had everything we needed. He took care of all of his other tables with the same attentiveness. The performers were truly professional. And my daughter said "Yes" when her boyfriend asked her to marry him!

This tour was very fun and we got to see some amazing views of the coast and the island. A lot of history of the island was explained as well. We got to see cool movie sets too. Would definitely do this tour again, we had a blast.
One caution- wear goggles and be prepared to get dirty. We were the last ones in a line of 5 UTV’s. All the dirt and dust got kicked up on us and in our eyes. The sun glasses were not enough eye protection from the dust.

Kualoa Ranch Movie Sites Tour - Visit TV Shows & Hollywood Filming Locations

Bus Movie Tour

Reviewed by: Moy

I booked the movie bus tour a day before the actual tour. All the other tours on the ranch had been booked. I was desperate to visit Kualoa Ranch. I really wanted to do the ATV tour. I wasn’t expecting it to be very good because they still had seats available. All the other tours were booked well into next week. Boy was I wrong. The tour was amazing our tour guide Stephanie also the driver was funny and engaging. She explained all the movie set and gave us a history lesson about how the ranch and land came to be. We even saw the owner of the ranch who drove but us. Two thumbs up highly recommended best tour I took so far in Hawaii.

Highlight of our trip!

Reviewed by: Anita

This was my most favorite activity in Hawaii! Our tour guide Ethan was amazing, great storytelling at each of the stops. He even took some great pictures for us! Absolutely breathtaking views, and not a word I use often. We felt like kids driving a giant toy truck. Worth the drive from Waikiki, the scenery along the coast is worth it alone. The crew is friendly, professional, and clearly love the island and sharing it with people. I’d do this again in a heartbeat!
