This was a great adventure! Being in the cage is extremely rough, and you have to hold on to avoid getting thrown around by the huge waves, but this is a small problem! There must have been at least 15-20 sharks (Galapagos and sandbar sharks) swimming all around, and rubbing on the cage! I would recommend this activity to anyone who can handle a rough ocean. It was one of the best things we did in Hawaii!! Take anti-nausea pills, as the waves are huge, and the boat rocks hard (even for those who don't think they get seasick).

This was my first time participating, and it was really fun! The boat rocked quite a bit, but no one got seasick during our trip. The staff only spoke English, but they were cheerful, and there were no significant inconveniences. Once we got started, it was more exciting than scary, and it was truly a memorable experience that you rarely get to have. I wish we could have dived more. We went at the end of September, and it was really cold after we got out. Also, I'm glad I brought an underwater camera!

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.

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.

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

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 itโs manageable. My son is saying he wants to do it again!!

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!

It is unfortunate that sharks have gotten the label of being mindless eating machines that attack anything that twitches in the water. I was able to experience first hand just how wrong this stereotype actually is.
The moment we arrived, sharks began to make there way to us. The regulars, the Sandbar Sharks, are attracted to the sound of the boat engine and quickly swam up to say hi!, but then an unexpected visitor decided to drop by. My jaw literally dropped when I saw a HUGE tiger shark circling the boat. Then another came by...then ANOTHER! We were lucky since Tiger Sharks are fairly rare.
As the first four made there way into the shark cage, the remaining four, including me, waited on board and watched the sharks from the surface. These creatures just circled the cage and boat and at times a Tiger Shark would pop his head out of the water to munch on some fish. This shark could have easily bitten the crew member, but all he (she?) did was nibble and go.
If anything, it

Wow, wow and wow!!!! This was a truely amazing experience. To be that close to sharks in the water, to look them in the eye and feel their distain...... what a feeling. For anyone thinking of doing this trip, I seriously recommend doing the 7am dive, especially if you're going while the Tradewinds are still blowing. It was a little rough when we were out there and it would have been much worse later in the day. Also, if you've never snorkelled before, buy yourself a mask and practice for a couple of days beforehand, its not at easy as it looks. You'll get much more out of it if you know what you're doing with your mask and snorkel.

I often go to Hawaii, so I've participated in whale and dolphin cruises many times, but I had been curious about it for a while, so this time I tried a shark tour for the first time.
I definitely got seasick. Since I'm not very good on boats, I think it's better for those who are worried to bring motion sickness medication.
It seems that it's still not very popular among Japanese people, but the Americans who participated with me were incredibly excited. I wonder if they have a lot of adrenaline?
When you think of sharks, you might have a scary impression, but the sharks I saw in the North were beautiful, and I couldn't help but be captivated by their swimming.
It seems that the number of sharks you can see varies by day, but there are almost no days when you can't see any. I recommend planning a full day in the North Haleiwa area with a rental car and allocating some free time for the shark tour.
It feels a bit wasteful to go all that way just for that, but I think it's worth participating at least once.

We participated as a group of several people, but there were also two other groups with individuals attending alone. Since we booked through this page, there was no transportation provided, so we rented a car to get to the location, while the other groups arrived with transportation included. Although Japanese is not spoken, we managed to communicate through body language. The boat does sway quite a bit, so if you are prone to motion sickness, please make sure to take motion sickness medication before boarding. The area where the sharks are located has truly beautiful waters. You can see many sharks, but ultimately, you can only watch the sharks, so it can get boring after a few minutes. Additionally, some people felt nauseous after getting into the enclosure because it swayed with the waves. If you want to see sharks in a beautiful, clear sea, I definitely recommend participating.
