From Waikiki, it takes about an hour by bus to the port on the west side. The port only has restrooms without doors, and the boat is a 15-person capacity without a restroom, so it's best to change and, if possible, use the restroom beforehand. Towels are not provided, so you need to bring your own. I went on April 12, and it was quite cold. The water temperature was probably around 20-22 degrees Celsius.
Rash guards are available for free rental, but there are only three, and some are short-sleeved, so considering the low water temperature, I think it's better for women and those who get cold easily to bring their own. The water surface can be quite choppy, so it's easy to get seasick while snorkeling and watching the sharks.
The sharks are in deeper water, and since the camera focuses mainly on the lower section of the cage, I recommend that those who are confident in diving grab onto the lower section or the bottom of the cage to quietly observe (as long as you can hold your breath). This way, you’re less likely to get seasick.
The sharks are very calm and beautiful. The water is clear, so to avoid ruining your experience with seasickness, please make sure to take motion sickness medication. I don’t usually get seasick, but I took some just in case, and I didn’t experience any seasickness.
The optional video and photos are $75 per group.
ワイキキからは西側の港で1時間ぐらいバスで移動です。
港には扉の無いトイレしかないし、ボートは15人乗りのトイレなしなので、着替え、出来ればトイレも済ませていった方が良いです。
バスタオルも配布されないので、持っていく必要あります。私が行ったのは4月12日でしたが、けっこう寒かったです。たぶん水温は20~22度ぐらい?
ラッシュは無料でレンタルありますが、3枚だけで半袖のものもあったので、水温が低いことを考えると、女性や寒がりの男性は自前のものがあった方が良いと思います。
水面が結構揺れるので、シュノーケルでサメを見ていると酔いやすいです。
サメも深いところにいるし、カメラも檻の下段を中心に撮っているので、潜るのに自信がある人は、潜って檻の下段や底に掴まって、静かに眺めることができるのでお勧めです(息が続く限りですが)。また、その方が酔わないです。
サメはとてもおとなしく美しいです。水も澄んでいますので、船酔いで台無しにしないように、酔い止めはぜひ飲んでいってください。
私は船酔いしない人ですが、いちおう飲んでいき、船酔いはありませんでした。
オプションのビデオと写真は75ドル/1グループ。

There were more sharks than I expected, haha. However, it was a bit disappointing that the seawater was slightly murky due to heavy rain the day before. That said, it was an issue unrelated to the tour, and since it was my first experience with the tour, it turned out to be a great experience!
予想していたよりもサメがうようよいてました笑
ただ前日まで豪雨だったので海水が若干濁り気味だったのが残念でした。

Did the same dive with One Ocean last year and was so impressed I had to do this again. This time, the sharks were even more curious as to our presence and came up quite close to us at 4-5 feet distance on some pass bys. Got some incredible 4K video on the footage. Sophie and Kevin were very enthusiastic about their work and Sophie’s passion for researching sharks really shows, giving everyone information about what we saw in he water with specific characteristics and personalities of certain sharks that they frequently see. Thanks again to Sophie and Kevin and see you guys for the 3rd time hopefully soon!

What could be more exhilarating than interacting with an animal you have been taught all your life to fear? You have guides that take total care of you, from safety briefing to taking pictures of your interaction. This was my second time and the thrill was just as impressive as was the first time. This experience should be the number one activity for any tourist on Oahu. We were with 7 sharks and one barracuda. The speed and agility of sharks must be experienced to be appreciated. Sharks are magnificent animals. Thanks again guys for the ultimate experience.

The number of sharks is definitely impressive. The experience is thrilling. However, since we went quite far out, I got seasick before we reached the point. Once we arrived, we had to wait our turn to see the sharks in groups, and I got even more nauseous during that time. Being in the cage, exposed to the waves while watching the sharks, made me feel even sicker. On the way back, I could hardly sit up and ended up collapsing on the boat. I had taken motion sickness medication, but it didn’t seem to help with the seasickness. Those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious. Unfortunately, due to my own body’s reaction, the outcome was disappointing, but there were no faults in the tour itself, so I give it 4 stars.
サメの数はまちがいないです。すごい迫力です。
ただしかなり沖まで行くので、ポイントに着くまでに酔いました。
ポイントについたらグループごとに順番に見るため、待っている間にさらに酔いました。
ケージに入って沖の波にさらされながらサメを見てさらに酔いました。
帰りは起き上がることすら困難で船の上で倒れてました。
酔い止めは飲んでいましたが、船酔い海酔いには効かなかったようです…
もともと酔いやすい方は注意が必要です。
自分の体質で残念な結果ですが、ツアー内容としては落ち度はないので☆4つです。

I applied for the tour hoping to see sharks. When I actually got on the boat, there was a guarantee of a 100% encounter with sharks.
When we arrived at the shark spot, there were tons of them. So I was very satisfied.
Even though they are sharks, they are calm and don't bump into the cage. You can observe them quietly and thoroughly.

I was actually planning to go skydiving, but I had to change to a shark tour at the last minute due to military training.
I've been to Hawaii several times, and every time I think about doing a shark tour, but I always put it off because of time constraints.
But I'm glad I was able to do it this time. It was a bit disappointing that I got slightly seasick from drinking too much the night before.
Anyway, I was thrilled to see the sharks up close. I think I would have been even more excited if there were man-eating sharks!

I participated with my son, a first grader who loves sharks, and my family. I was worried about the high waves, but we were able to see plenty of sharks while wearing life jackets. The gaps in the cage were quite wide, making it seem like a child could easily slip through, which was quite terrifying as a parent. However, my child held on tightly to the bars of the cage, so it was okay. One of the Spanish women who entered the cage with us wore water shoes, and they hit my body hard, which was very painful. Everyone is supposed to take off their sandals and shoes before boarding the boat, but it seems that this was overlooked. It's best to be cautious and check if the people in your group are wearing shoes or sandals. Other than that, I was very satisfied.
サメ好きの小学校1年生の息子と家族で参加しました。波が高くてどうなることかと思いましたが、ライフジャケットを着せてたっぷりサメを見れました。ゲージの隙間がかなり広くて、子供は容易にすり抜けられそうなほどでしたので、親としてはかなり恐怖でしたが、子供はしっかりゲージのバーにつかまっていたので、大丈夫でした。一緒にゲージに入ったスペイン人の女性の一人が、あろうことかウォーターシューズを履いて入ったので、靴ががんがん身体にあたってとっても痛かったです。船に乗船するときサンダルや靴はすべて脱いで入っているはずなのに、漏れていたようです。一緒に入るグループの人が靴やサンダルを履いていないかどうか、気を付けていたほうがいいです。それ以外は大満足でした。

I participated in the trip with my sister!
We were the only Japanese participants among the attendees, and since the staff couldn't speak Japanese, I was a bit anxious at first. However, the staff explained things using gestures, simple English, and broken Japanese, so I didn't have any major issues.
They provided us with a guidebook that had the tour flow and precautions written in Japanese, so as long as you read that, there are no problems!
We went out to sea on a boat and once we arrived at the spot, we put on our snorkels and entered the cage.
Swimming with the sharks in the beautiful deep blue sea was more fun than I imagined!
You can bring an underwater camera or smartphone into the water, so you can take photos and videos with them in waterproof cases.
I usually don’t get seasick, but I took motion sickness medication just in case.
The boat rocked quite a bit, and some people looked a bit worn out...
I think the motion sickness medication is essential.
If you want to relax, that's great, but if you're looking for something a little different!
If just going to the beach or shopping isn't enough for you!
This tour is highly recommended! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

I had plans to go to the North Shore, so I made a reservation out of curiosity. After about 20 minutes on the boat, we were given snorkels and entered the sea in a cage with around eight people. Looking around, I saw more than ten sharks, some about three meters long. It was quite thrilling, and I was very satisfied with the tour, which offered a thrill that you can't experience in Japan.
There were no other Japanese people besides us, and all the explanations were in English. However, I think it's not a problem even if you don't speak English, as you can understand the atmosphere.
It seems to depend on the day, but the boat does sway, so I think it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication.
ノースショアに行く予定がありましたので、興味本位で予約。船に揺られ20分くらいの沖で、シュノーケルを渡され、海に設置されている檻の中に8人程度で海へ入ります。あたりを見渡すと、10匹以上のサメがいました。3メートル程度あるものもおり、かなりドキドキしましたが、日本では味わえないスリルがあり、とても満足のツアーでした。
日本人は私たち以外にはいなく、説明もすべて英語でした。ただ、雰囲気で伝わりますので、英語ができなくても問題はないかなとも思います。
日によるみたいですが、船は揺れますので、酔い止めは持っていったほうがいいかと思います。

This trip to go cage diving with the sharks was incredible and unforgettable! To start off the bat, the crew Matt and Tanya were very nice, and knowledgeable. They are quick to ease anyones fear of being in harm or of risking the sharks being harmed in any way. Matt is full of jokes, almost like we got our own stand up before the main event! It was I believe 20 minutes of being in the water, more than enough time to watch the galapagos sharks swim by so elegantly. Once you get in the cage, you just seem to forget everything else, being surrounded by sharks close enough to see their pupils as they pass. Ultimately the sharks are rather disinterested in you, and more interested in the boat hoping for them to drop some crabs in the water thinking it's a fishing vessel. If you are on vacation, I would highly recommend this adventure, especially if you have a love for sharks like I do!
