Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Highly Recommended!

Reviewed by: Nat C

My husband and I took this tour recently while in Hawaii and it rocked! Our driver was Sam and he was great. Very knowledgable about Hawaii and offered some really interesting tidbits of info. He was laid back, friendly and very engaging. This tour is great because you have the freedom to choose your activities and even traveling in a group you are not forced to select the same options. You can add activities on site which was also a plus. We were dropped in each location for about two hours and were free to eat, wander and otherwise do as we chose. There was a lady in our group that was by herself and she really enjoyed herself as well. Hailewa town was cool to wander around in and my husband even had time to kayak there and join me at the shops. Free water and juice was also a nice bonus. I highly recommend this tour if you are headed to Oahu!

Circle Island Sightseeing Tour & Full-Day Polynesian Cultural Center Tickets

Do not do this first

Reviewed by: Roy C.

We took the tour on the first day after arriving and it was too much too soon. I am sure we would have enjoyed it more had we been rested but we were worn out.

The tour does go to all of the spots but you get very little time at any of them and the stop at the Dole Plantation is not long enough to do much of anything.

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

You'd be Insane NOT to do it!

Reviewed by: Jennifer Alvarez

The Hi-light of our trip. The crew was AWESOME. They were very informative as well as entertaining. Even though we were in the ocean with a lot of sharks we still felt completely safe. This is the closest you can come face to face with nature w/o fearing for your life (well, almost - it is a little scary at first). The sharks are amazing animals. Can't put into words what its like to look a shark in the eye. You have to see it for yourself. We were in the cage for about 20-30 minutes, but it seemed like an hour and there was plenty of room. If you tend to get sea sick just take a pill and do it anyway. You won't regret it. Definately get the DVD, its about $65 and worth every penny. I'm pretty cheap myself, but knew I couldn't pass the DVD up. Totally worth it. Just DO IT and don't forget your underwater cameras.

You should definitely try it at least once in your life. 人生一度はやっておきたい

Reviewed by: ひまわり

I approached this with the determination to risk my life. That said, I wasn't scared at all, so anyone can take on the challenge. When I fell, it was more painful for my ears than it felt good. It might be a good idea to practice equalizing your ears...

The view during the dive was amazing, but I was really moved by the scenery I saw while ascending in the airplane (we flew with the door open).

Since it had rained the day before, it seemed there were a lot of participants, and the waiting time was long, which made others tired. However, I enjoyed taking pictures of various flowers and the parachutes coming down while I waited, so it wasn't a problem for me.

The DVD and photos cost $200 if you order both, but since a dedicated photographer is included, I thought it was a reasonable price despite being high. It has become a great memory.

命を捨てる覚悟で臨んできました。といっても別に全然怖くはないので誰でもチャレンジできます。
落ちるときは、気持ちいいよりも耳が痛かったです。耳抜きの練習をしておいたほうがいいかも。。。
ダイブ中の眺めも最高ですが、飛行機で上昇していくときに見える景色に感動しました(ドア開けたまま飛んでます)
前日が雨だったため、参加人数が多かったらしく、待ち時間が長くてほかの人はくたびれてましたが、私は待ってる間、いろんな花や降りてくるパラシュートの写真を撮って楽しんでいたので苦になりませんでした。
DVDと写真は両方たのむと200ドルかかりますが、専属カメラマンが付くので、高いですけど妥当な値段だと思って撮ってもらいました。いい思い出になっています。

This is bad. やばい

Reviewed by: クッチー

At an altitude of 4,000 meters... falling as if from above Mount Fuji.

For the first few seconds, there's a feeling similar to a roller coaster, but once you get used to it, you start to enjoy the free fall time a bit more.

Hmm, it's a feeling like nothing you've experienced before, and you definitely won't be disappointed.

By the way, I highly recommend getting the DVD and photos! You can enjoy them even after returning home!

上空4,000M…
富士山より上から落ちるように落下。
最初の何秒間かは、ジェットコースターのようなウッツッツとくる感じがあるものの、慣れてからは、少し余裕が出てきてフリーホールの時間が楽しめます。
うーん、やってみないとわからない今までにない感じでしたが、絶対満足します。
ちなみにDVD、写真はおすすめですよ!
帰国後にも楽しめますし!

I was impressed by the sea and the sharks! 海と鮫に感激!

Reviewed by: クッチー

Three miles offshore. The depth is 40 to 50 meters!!
Looking down from the stopped boat, I saw a dark shadow...
Could it be already? As I strained my eyes and looked around again, I spotted not just one or two, but about ten sharks visible from the surface...
It was more awe-inspiring than scary.
I often saw the dorsal fins breaking the surface on TV, and it was exactly the same scene.
Now, into the cage!
I was astonished by the deep blue sea and the sharks.
I think I had a rare experience. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth it.

3mile先の沖合い。深さは40~50M !!
停止した船から下を除くと黒い影が…
まさかすでに?と目を凝らして再度辺りを見渡すと1匹、2匹ではなく、10匹くらいの鮫を海上から黙認。。。
怖いよりスゴイの感激でした。
よく背びれを海面に出す姿をTVなどで拝見していましたが、まさに同じ光景です。
いざ、おりの中へ!
真っ青な海と鮫に唖然でした。
レアな体験ができたと思います。少し高いですが、価値はありますよ。

An unforgettable experience!! 忘れられない体験!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

If you're feeling a bit scared and hesitant, you should definitely take the plunge!

It's an incredibly moving experience that words can't express!

I was nervous at the moment of jumping out of the Cessna, but the beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see is something only those who dive can truly understand.

There wasn't much explanation, but the guide who dove with us was kind, so I didn't feel anxious.

As for the photos... they were a bit pricey, and I kind of regret not ordering them.

ちょっと怖いな・・・と迷っている人!!
絶対にチャレンジするべきです!

言葉では表現できないほどの
感動の体験ができます!!!!!

セスナから飛び降りる瞬間は緊張しましたが
その後、見渡す限りのきれいな景色はダイブした人にしか
わからないと思います。


あまり十分な説明もなかったですが(笑)
一緒にダイブするガイドの人はやさしかったですし
不安はありませんでした。

写真・・・
ちょっと高かったけど頼んでおけばよかったかなぁ、と
ちょっと後悔しています。

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Swimmin with the fishes...

Reviewed by: Hawaii 2010

We headed out to the shark cage at 7:30 am and sadly no sharks. The crew was as disappointed as we were and let us know that if we didn't have a shark experience they would reschedule us or refund our money. Lucky for us there was a cancellation on a boat later that morning - so we headed out again - and we were not disappointed. 5 - 6 sharks circled the cage the entire time we were on the water. Nothing like looking a shark in the eye! Fabulous time and would recommend it to anyone wanting to have an up close and personal experience with a shark(s).

Great Luau

Reviewed by: Iain F.

Enele was a great driver and full of knowledge. He also became our tour guide once we arrived at the cultural center. He took us around and explained the different cultures and his own culture (Samoa) in great detail. The food at the luau was great with the Kalua pork and Lomi Lomi being my favorite. Poi was actually not bad after all the bad things I heard about it. The entertainment during dinner was great. We even got on stage for a little dance. The show was incredible, portraying the AH of life. The fire dancers were awesome. Overall was a great experience and would recommend to everyone.

This was a very unique place. It was beautiful. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgable. The night show was the best show I have ever seen. My recommendation is to get the ambassodor package so that you have a guide. It is very crowded and somewhat hard to navigate around so having a guide is definitely worth the extra money. Food wasn't that great but was the same as other luaus in the area. Overall it's a must see!

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: ぽち

I sank a cage offshore and jumped in... At first, I was anxious, but if you try, you can do it! It was September, but the water temperature was a bit low. Also, since the waves were rough offshore, it might be better not to eat too much before participating. Two out of six people got seasick.

Still, it was an invaluable experience. After returning home, my PC crashed, and I lost the photos of the sharks, which made me weep. I want to participate again.

沖合に檻を沈めてそこにどぼん、、、最初は不安でしたがなせばなる!9月でしたが水温は若干低め。あと沖合で波が荒いので、参加する前にはあまりものを食べすぎない方がいいかも。酔ってはいた人2人/6人。
それでも得難い経験です。帰国後PCがクラッシュして、サメの写真が消えてしまいむせび泣きました。また参加したい。

Awesome!!

Reviewed by: Montreal couple

This was the most fun we had on Oahu. Captain Dave and Crewman Chris are very professional, knowledgeable and entertaining. We felt safe in their capable hands...which was especially important, given the fact that this is an incredibly thrilling activity! Sooooo scary....being in the water, surrounded by numerous sharks of varying size (basically bigger than you, and much faster too!) certainly makes the adrenaline pump!

We bought the DVD of our experience, and we appreciate the fact that it is your choice to have your experience taped or not, and is therefore more personal and not 'pushed' at you for purchase. Just got home last night, and immediately watched it!

We recommend this activity to all but the faint of heart!

Great time

Reviewed by: Montreal couple

We would recommend the Polynesian cultural center for many reasons. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. It was great fun to be so immersed in the cultures presented...dancing in Tahiti, singing and playing music in Fiji to name just a couple. The luau was a great opportunity to see the many different forms of hula dancing, and the food was great and plentiful.
In short, the Polynesian Cultural Center should not be missed!

I think overall the package was the best and most unique experience I have ever enjoyed but I think the Dinner timings werent quite right and could be delayed a bit and also the staff were kinda urgent towards the end of buffet timings that we really couldnt enjoy the Dinner all the way till dessert. That kinda impacted me not to give 5 Star for it. And believe me you need the whole full day to cover PCC and half day wont do justice for this unique experience.

Amazing!! My husband and my teenage daughter had a great sky diving adventure. If you just pay for the jump it is reasonable but if you want pictures or DVD it is quite a lot more. The staff was great, very professional! Would definitely do this again, but it is a little cheaper if you just book through them because they do offer daily specials. But felt the price through this site was reasonable.

A full day of entertainment

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

A long day, but well worth it! Even the bus ride was good. This was the best luau experience we had, easily beating out the one offered by NCL on Kaua'i, which was very good. It was a hot day, and the line for shaved ice was long, but that is the only negative. All of the cultural shows we saw were excellent and there were even pre-shows for those who arrived early. The food was good (along with another show), and the main show at the end (Ha, Breath of Life) was outstanding.
If you are looking for an intimate on-the-beach luau, this is not it. The PCC provides a first-rate experience for thousands of people, and does so with minimal delays and great views from any seating location. I am so glad we went. This was one of the highlights of our entire trip.

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: アラフォートラベラー

I am someone who is afraid of heights and even hesitates to ride roller coasters. I felt anxious and nervous after arriving at the airport with the rental car, and I was still fidgeting on the plane. The moment of takeoff was a bit scary, but during the free fall, I felt completely fine and it was just exhilarating. Once the parachute opened and the descent speed decreased, I actually felt a thrill as I was spun around in right and left turns, which was a bit frightening. If I could handle it, then those who are afraid of heights will definitely be fine too! It's a rural area, so both the sea and mountains offer stunning views, and there are Japanese staff on site, which is reassuring. I would love to go again.
