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

Gorgeous Galapagos sharks

Reviewed by: Alexey

I'm more than excited to write this review. Thanks for a good time this morning. I'd recommend this adventure for anyone who loves the ocean and these fantastic creatures. Sharks were friendly and gorgeous. The crew was knowledgeable and professional. This is definitely five stars experience with lots of fun. We enjoyed the morning on a comfortable boat, with an excellent crew and Sharks! I have done similar activities before, and I can tell that you did a good job guys. I can't image the better way to meet the sharks. Thank you guys! Save the sharks and ocean. Aloha! #northshoresharkadventures, @NorthShoreSharkAdventures

Reviewed by: リオママ

Wow, there were so many sharks! It was an amazing experience, and I was very satisfied!

While I was watching from inside the cage and waiting on the boat while other groups were having their turn, the boat was rocking a lot, and I felt like I might get seasick. There were a few people who actually got sick.

めちゃ、サメがいた〜。すご〜い経験ができて大満足!

ゲージの中で、見ている間と、船の上で、他のグループが体験している間待っている間が、とても船が揺れて酔いそうだった。酔ってる人が数人いた。

It was great to see the sharks, but my children, who are sensitive to motion, got seasick from the boat's rocking before we reached the point and couldn't go into the water. The sea wasn't particularly rough, so those who are prone to seasickness should be prepared.

海が特別荒れていたわけではないので

We participated as a family, but we were the only Japanese among the 16 participants. However, the Japanese support was excellent, and there were no issues. Being able to see sharks swimming gracefully up close in the ocean was quite an experience, and the whole family was satisfied.

家族で参加しましたが、参加者16名のうち日本人は我々のみでした。でも、日本語対応もバッチリで問題ありませんでした。海の中で、優雅に泳ぐサメを近くでバッチリ見れるのはなかなかの体験で、家族全員満足しました。

It was fun, but be careful of seasickness! 楽しかったが船酔いには注意！

Reviewed by: おやじ

We participated as a family of four. Our younger child, who is six years old, was scared to get into the cage, so they watched from the boat while the other three of us went into the cage. After about 30 minutes of heading out to sea, we arrived at the point and split into two groups to take turns entering the cage, which was slightly away from the boat. There were really a lot of sharks swimming quietly around the cage. It was very exciting, but the boat was really rocking! During the trip to the point, while we were in the cage, and even while the other group was in the cage, we were constantly battling seasickness. We drove to the location in a rental car, and since I was the driver, I couldn't take any motion sickness medication (because it makes me sleepy all day), so I just stared at the distant land from the boat to get through it. One of the other participants ended up vomiting, but most of them were fine and enjoyed taking lots of pictures and spotting sharks from the boat. So, for those who get motion sickness, be careful! But I’m glad I participated because I got to see the sharks up close.

家族4人で参加しました。下の子が6歳でケージに入るのは怖いと言うのでボートから見学、ほかの3人でケージに入りました。30分程沖へ進みポイントに着くと2グループに分かれて順番にケージへ入りボートから少し離されます。サメは本当に沢山います、静かにケージの周りを泳いでいます。大興奮ですが揺れがすごいです！ポイントまでの移動中も、ケージに入っている間も、もうひとグループがケージに入っている間のボートも、ずっと船酔いとの戦いでした。私達はレンタカーで現地集合、私は運転手だった為、酔い止めの薬も飲めず(飲むと1日中眠たくなってしまうので)ボートではひたすら遠くの陸を眺めてなんとかやり過ごしました。他の参加者の方々は吐いていた人が1人、大半は酔わずに沢山写真を撮ったりボートからサメを見つけたり楽しんでいました。という事で乗り物酔いする方は要注意！でもサメが間近に見られて参加して良かったと思います。

A dream come true

Reviewed by: Crystal

It has been number 1 on my bucket list to swim with sharks. I wasn't afraid and in fact first in the water. There were so many sharks and they were so passive and beautiful. I found that the bad reputation sharks had is totally misjudged. I can't wait to do it again. Best experience ever . Forget your fear and do this. Guys were amazing and learned a lot on the boat ride to the spot.

The pickup didn't come, and the service was inadequate. I would like a refund. 迎えが来ない、対応が適当。返金してほしいぐらい。

Reviewed by: カズALOHA

I woke up early and waited at the designated pickup location, but even after 15 minutes past the scheduled time, no one came to pick me up. I called the phone number provided, but I reached a voicemail saying "outside of business hours." The hotel staff called several times for me, and I finally got through, but by that point, it was already 30 minutes past the pickup time. During the conversation with the staff, they mentioned they "forgot" and suggested I join a tour two hours later. They also said, "As an apology, we will give you a T-shirt," but... I had plans with a friend afterward, but since I was already there, I had my friend change their plans so I could join the tour two hours later. I never received the promised T-shirt, and I ended up causing a lot of inconvenience to the hotel staff and my friend. The response of "I forgot" was just too careless. I would like a refund. The tour itself wasn't very impressive, and the sea was rough, causing the boat to sway, and it was uncomfortable even inside the cage due to high waves. Including the service, I cannot recommend this. Also, I made the reservation here considering the reputation and reliability of Veltra, so I hope Veltra does not list such careless tour operators.

早起きして指定のピックアップ場所で待ちましたが、時間を15分過ぎても迎えが来なかった為、記載されていた電話番号に電話をしましたが、“営業時間外”との留守番電話で繋がらず。
ホテルスタッフも何度か電話してくれて、やっと繋がりましたが、この時点でピックアップ時刻を30分も過ぎていました。
スタッフとのやり取りで「忘れてた」との事で、2時間後のツアーに参加を勧められました。
またこの時、「お詫びにTシャツを差し上げます」と言われていたのですが…。
このあと友人と予定があったのですが、せっかくだし、友人にあとの予定を変更してもらって2時間後のツアーに参加しました。
約束されていたTシャツは頂ける事はなかったし、ホテルスタッフ、友人など沢山の方に迷惑をかけてしまう事になりました。
とにかく「忘れてた」とか対応がいい加減過ぎます。
返金して頂きたいぐらいです。
ツアー自体も迫力はそんなにありませんし、海が荒れて舟が揺れるのはもちろん、ゲージの中でも高波で苦しいです。対応も含め、おすすめできません。
また、自分自身、ベルトラの知名度や信頼度も含めてこちらで予約させて頂いているので、ベルトラもこのようないい加減なツアー催行会社は掲載しないで頂きたいです。

There is no thrill. スリルはない

Reviewed by: 旅人S

The sharks were accustomed to people and there was no sense of danger at all. About 10 sharks, around 4 meters long, came by, but they had no aggression and it wasn't very interesting. It might be more entertaining if bait was placed near the cage. They were swimming around the cage, so it felt lacking. I bought the footage for $75, but there were people who weren't buying any interesting footage positioned between me and the camera, so I didn't appear much in it. Overall, it felt like there was a lack of consideration and it was quite unsatisfying.

サメも慣れていて危険な感じは全くない。
サメは4メートルくらいのか10数匹来たが、殺気はなく、面白くはなかった。
檻の付近にエサを付けてたら面白いかも。
かごを避けて泳いでいるので、物足りない。
映像を75ドルで買ったが、どうでも良い映像を買っていない輩がカメラとの間に配置されててあまり映ってない。
本当に配慮も足らず物足りない感じでした。

My wife had a fever, so I had to participate alone, and I was the only Japanese person among 15 participants. However, both the staff and the captain were very cheerful and talked to me, so I had no worries! I just thought it would be safer to have some English conversation skills since all the explanations from the staff were in English.

Wow!

Reviewed by: Meagen

This was amazing! I am so glad we picked this as an activity! I would do this again if we ever make it back to Oahu. We saw sharks from the minute we got out and they were around us the entire time. It was a little intimidating at first, but the guides were always watchful above and below the water so I felt as safe as you possible could be given the chosen activity. The only thing I would say could be better was finding what area you are suppose to be to board the boat, there are no signs for check in or really where you are suppose to be and I wish I would have taken my camera I wanted some pictures but felt the group rate was too high. I would recommend this to anyone!

I wouldn't recommend it for those who are prone to seasickness, but it's thrilling. 船酔いが弱い人にはお勧めしませんがスリリングです

Reviewed by: パウリナ

I participated in the local gathering because I wanted to explore various places. For some reason, there were no other Japanese people, and the rest were mostly foreigners, divided into three groups to enter the cage. I took motion sickness medication, but it swayed quite a bit. Even when stationary, it still swayed, so I think it's better to avoid it if you're not feeling well. There are many awake animals, but they seemed quite used to people, so it wasn't particularly scary. However, if you get too close, the cage itself might seem like it could let an Asian-sized person slip out, which could be frightening. Activities like this are not available in Japan, and I really enjoyed it.

他にも色々回りたかったために現地集合で参加しました。なぜか日本人は他にいなくあとは外国の方ばかりで３つのグループに分かれゲージに入ります。酔い止め飲んでいましたが、かなり揺れます。止まっていても揺れるので体調が悪い状況では特にやめた方がいいと思います。また覚めはたくさんいますが、基本人馴れしているのかあまり怖いという状況はなかったです。かといってあまり近すぎてもゲージ自体がアジア人の体型なら抜けていきそうなので、怖いと思います。こういったアクティビティは日本にはないしかなり楽しめました。

Shark swim 2017

Reviewed by: Henry

Had a great time swimming with the sharks even though it was in a cage. It was a little windy and the waves were rocking the boat so make sure you can take the rough waters. One got really sick from the motion but only one. It was really fun and well worth it. These sharks were very docile but swam by gracefully for some really good picture taking. I nor anyone on the boat ever felt unsafe swimming with the sharks. So much fun.

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Shelby

Can't say enough about how awesome this was! Wish I could do it every day. Was quite nervous at first but once you get in the water it is so calming to just watch the sharks in their world. The Island View guys were great, gave us all the info we needed before getting in and answered all of our questions.

My only advice for the company is to give a bit more instruction on finding you at the harbor - all we really had was the name of the boat (which is outdated) and we can't exactly walk the whole place reading boat names. We found them eventually and all was well.

If you have the time, this is absolutely a must-do in Oahu. You won't regret it.

I didn't want to get my hopes up..

Reviewed by: Jill

My brother and I have long been shark fans. As a keen diver I've seen the occasional reef shark but wanted to see something bigger. We went out on the boat (limited to 6 of us) and after a short ride arrived at the site where we spent probably half an hour by the boat (holding onto the lines) then free swimming and diving with Galapagos and Sandbar sharks (around 40 at one point but always at least 15 around us at varying depths). There were multiple times when we could have touched one with a flipper they were that close but we didn't feel threatened at all (although i would be lying if I said we weren't a bit scared). There was only one shark that bared his teeth to us which was amazing to view and again not threatening. The staff made us feel very safe and are very passionate about the sharks. I've dived around the world but never come across an opportunity to swim with this many large sharks in the wild. I cannot recommend this enough. #HelpSaveSharks

A true passion for what they do

Reviewed by: Mike

One Ocean Diving is a class act, and how they go about teaching you about how to swim with sharks is as professional as it gets. Never once did I feel nervous about jumping into the open ocean with these animals. The cost might be slightly high for a tour without any transportation, lunch or anything else, but knowing that your money is going toward ongoing research about sharks is well worth it. All staff know what they are doing and their passion for what they do really shows. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

I was satisfied to see a large shark up close. The waves were high, and the cage was unstable, which made my wife scared, but as she got used to it, she managed to hold on and enjoy herself!

If the weather isn't favorable, it can get quite cold, so I think it would have been good to prepare properly before participating.

Stoked!!!

Reviewed by: Michal Cordova

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to do the sharks cage with some friends. Honestly, I was a little concerned about how the sharks are attracted, and if we were putting them in any distress by trying to see them in their natural habitat. Shortly after boarding the boat, my concern was put to rest-the sharks are not harmed in any way!.. Although it was late in the morning, and a swell was filling in, me and a couple friends all had a blast, gripping the bars of the cage, riding the swells as they rolled through and watched 10-12 sharks circle around us with such grace and ease. They were so close, we could see the pupil of their eyes!! Such an amazing experience, reminding me of my tiny existence on land.

Quite the exciting adventure!

Reviewed by: CoCo

This was such a neat experience that I'll never forget. We were so close to the sharks, which was somewhat scary, but mostly serene watching them swim by, really not caring about us humans in a cage. They come up to the sound of the boat because the area is usually filled with crabbers and they've become accustomed to eating the scraps. It was so neat being surrounded by these beautiful creatures and close enough to see the small barnacles attached to their bodies.

We did the 11am tour, which resulted in quite rocky waters (hence it being the latest option). The earlier times are much calmer waters and generally better visibility. The later time is not ideal for anyone sensitive to motion sickness, or nervous about the experience as it enhanced the intensity getting in and out of the cage. While in the water, we all had to hold on tightly to avoid hitting and kicking one another.

All that said, it was way worth it. Again, the earlier times and much calmer and even more enjoyable - highly recommend the tour, the earlier the better!
