Mike and his crew were absolutely the best hosts! They made sure everything was safe and everyone was having a good time. You can tell they love what they do. They are very welcoming and helpful. They interact with their guests on the sandbar and at the reef. It was our first experience on a sandbar and they helped make it very memorable! They offer to take pics for you, they BBQ, and offer drinks (alcohol and nonalcoholic). We will definitely book this cruise again next time we come! Hopefully Mike, Ruth and their crew are available!

Best experience ever really enjoy the view, how many sharks we was able to see right infront of us. The tour guys were really professional and very friendly. Great time and I expect in the future to come back and do it all over again.

This was an amazing once on a lifetime bucket list opportunity! They answered the phone when I had any questions and the crew was super welcoming and I felt extremely safe! With just a short 15 minute boat ride there was plenty of opportunity for the dive itself with a well timed activity! The 50+ sharks were amazing to behold and it was a calming and wonderful experience!

Parasailing was amazing! We were a party of 8 including my 7 year old grandson. The experience was perfect for our family and our captain adjusted the ride appropriately for each group of our riders (some were gently dipped and others had a more thrilling experience). It was obvious our captain and crew knew what they were experienced. I recommend getting the pictures. We would definitely do again

The entire experience was first class. The captain and his assistant provided a wealth of knowledge and made the entire experience enjoyable and everyone felt comfortable during the boat ride out and being in the cage. As advertised there were plenty of sharks and we were able to spend a ton of time in the water. I highly recommend using Haleiwa Shark Tours for this type of adventure. Thanks

This was one of the top highlights of my group's trip to Oahu. All of us had never been in a shark cage before, let alone see a 12-foot shark in the same water!! I recommend going with North Shore Shark Adventures because the guys are so friendly. Bring cash for tip!
I made online reservations through VELTRA. The time and date I chose online was apparently not available, but they notified me promptly after I booked. They were able to offer another time that worked for my group. I recommend booking for early morning tours because the water is more calm. Sea sickness is not fun, and one person in my group had a terrible experience with it. I felt bad for him.
Our boat had 14 people plus the captain and a deck hand guy. They split the 14 people into 2 groups to go in the shark cage. The shark cage fit my group of 8. We had our snorkel gear, GoPro, and underwater phone cases ready! I recommend bringing towels because it gets cold on the boat ride back to shore. I felt like we were in the cage for a while. It was plenty of time to get to the bottom of the cage, take videos, and see the sharks.
Logistics: meet at Haleiwa Harbor. Parking is free by the restroom. I didn't see any showers there, and there's also no doors in the restroom stalls. Wear shoes that are easy to remove. You won't be wearing them on the boat. I didn't have to bring my reservation or show anyone anything; just told them the name on our reservation.

After much research about all the different snorkeling excursions we decided to go with this one. Overall the entire experience was great. Captain Bob , Mike and the rest of the crew were extremely accomodating and courteous. The food hit the spot and the service was great.. This excursion even included transportation to and from hotel at No additional cost. I would definitely do this again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a snorkeling adventure.

Everything about our tour was amazing! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and polite, the park was beautiful, and we never felt bored. It did rain a little but that wasn’t a problem. I do recommend bringing glasses and an extra mask or face covering because the UTVs do kick up a lot of dust. 5/5 stars would recommend. Much wow!

Despite every communication showing “ Activity: Day on the Bay Combo - Parasail, Jet Ski, Banana Boat, or Bumper Tube” the actual voucher eliminated jet skiing.
When we checked in I was informed that my event didn’t include jet skiing, I objected, pulled out my voucher and sure enough that wording was omitted.
Well we ended up tubing, riding on a banana boat, and parasailing over Manaulua bay which was absolutely incredible. The water is gorgeous, and the surrounding homes simply beautiful.
Tubing is awesome; you’re holding on for dear life and it was such a blessing to share the thrill of the banana boat with my family.
At the end they’ll offer you incredible, up close, real-time pictures captured during each event so bring an extra $200.
I would definitely recommend this activity pack.
Mahalo!!!!

There were 10 of us that had the opportunity to enjoy a fancy dinner on the waters off of Ohau. The age range of our party were from 2-72.
From the time we arrived and checked in we were treated courteously and made to feel welcomed! The music and dancing while we waited made the experience more exciting for my nephews (2,4, & 8 years old) and for my Brother and wife who have never been to Hawaii before. Once onboard we were greeted by the captain of the boat which thrilled them silly and kept my sister in law busy trying to get them to their seats.
We had the best waitress for our table! we always had something to drink and when we were undecided she was able to suggest drinks for the adults and kids. When the boys were unsure with dinner, our waitress brought more cheese and fruit. We never had to look for her she just knew and was always available.
We all enjoyed the dancing and even were invited to join in. My nephews danced their hearts out, along with my mom (the 72 year old) and my sister. The views from the top deck were specular and we got some great family pictures.
Defiantly an event we will remember!
Thank you to the staff aboard the Star of Honolulu! you were fantastic!

What an experience! The highlight of our vacation. Marshall was our tour guide. He was awesome. Super fun. He knew so much about the land and it’s history. So many movies filmed on this location. Ladies, leave the make up at home and don’t even bother doing your hair, you get very dirty, and will walk away covered in dirt. Wear the goggles provided. These atv’s go fast and the ride can get a bit scary at times, but it is 100% safe. The sights on the tour are breathtaking. We can’t wait to come back!
