Experience of a life time!

Reviewed by: Travno

Unique experience with a knowledgeable and fun crew! Common sense and safety first approach put us all at ease, so the swim was nothing but fun. We also saw dolphins, green turtle and a whale! They even pointed out to listen for a whale song under the water, which we heard!! If on Oahu, this is a must!

Bucket List

Reviewed by: D Reevws

This was an amazing adventure for us. Something we would absolutely do again. I would recommend this company over and over again. I love the fact they are natives and a small family owed business . Always support local when I can, over big corporate companies. In doing my research, there is no difference between cage or cage less. The water was beautiful, clear and relatively calm.

Fantastic experience!

Reviewed by: Nolan

Experience was easily worth it for the money. Many other tour options in the area, but this one easily is the best for the price. The included photos & videos to allow you to be in the moment is a fantastic plus that I wish every company did for experiences like this. It allows you to still remember it without having cameras all over the place.I also highly recommend you forgo cage diving & instead do this type, it is a better experience.

The crew was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful & friendly. You can tell they love the experience & getting people to overcome their fears & have a great time. At no time during the whole swim did I feel unsafe. The divers did a great job of keeping everyone together & in a good area, and communicating necessary instructions. They did a remarkable job showcasing how misunderstood sharks are & once you get out swimming with them, it really does become apparent how calm they can be. They’re just as curious of us as we are of them.

I would do this experience again in a heartbeat.

North Shore Snorkeling Tour from Haleiwa - Ocean Outfitters Hawaii [Jun - Sep]

Wonderful experience

Reviewed by: Gina L

I highly recommend booking a snorkeling adventure with Ocean Outfitters! Tyler and Captain Brandon were excellent tour guides! We enjoyed an exhilarating 20 minute boat ride to the rock island where you can climb up and jump off into 25 foot deep waters. While snorkeling, we saw lots a fish, coral, some sea urchins, a sea cucumber, and many dolphins and turtles en route to and from the island. So much fun!

Amazing Shark experience!!!

Reviewed by: James Atwood

This was such a great experience for my son and I. The crew was super awesome, very safe and knowledgeable about the area and types of sharks. Loved that they took video and pictures using there own equipment so we didn’t have to worry about bringing our own equipment.

I am so happy that we did this!!!! At the end of this amazing experience, we got to see a whale since it’s what season right now

Hands down, best freaking company to go shark diving with!!!! Got to see so many sharks and it was truly an amazing experience.

Looking forward to doing it again when I visit!!!!

Crew was great, saw two sharks but it was a great experience.

Reviewed by: Joey S

Careless shark diving was a great experience.
No GoPros allowed on this trip but they take photos for you and some videos.
We saw two sharks on this trip and sandbar and a Galapagos but they were very active and would come very close, but you can also see them 80 yards down, because the water is clear.
The last 10 minutes you are somewhat free to dive down and swim with them.

Don't come to Oahu and not experience this adventure!!! It's worth the entire visit

Reviewed by: Jacquelyn

Amazing experience with these spectacular creatures that don't get the credit they deserve. This tour was definitely an eye opener and will give participants a far better and more educated perspective about not only the shark population but several others as well. Thank you IslandView Inc and the 3 guides who made the experience far more sensational than I suppose I was expecting.
The lead guys name was Sam but unfortunately, I don't recall the other two who were out in the water with us and taking photos. They absolutely made this adventure outstanding for us all!! You guys are awesome. I'll be back!!!

This tour was amazing! The crew and captain was very knowledgeable, extremely nice and friendly, and funny. The Captain did all he could do to attract the sharks for us and the safety divers made sure we felt safe in the water and had everything we needed. It was a little choppy, but that part was out of their control, so I'm good with it! Overall, 10 out of 10!!

Phenomenal, Once in a Lifetime Experience with the Sharks!

Reviewed by: Daniel A.

A heartfelt welcoming by the family team! Loved that they are down to earth, invoke conversation with you, dead serious about your safety and constantly staying vigil of your swim out with the sharks. They constantly checked in with you to see how you’re doing from riding to from on the boat, to swimming in the open ocean. It was great to see the sharks get up close to you to make you a bit alert but nothing I could say was dangerous and a close encounter. I will come back to them for sure!! Island view Shark Dive Tour will be the place I’ll be recommending others to go try. Thank you team for a spectacular experience for my son and I.

Reviewed by: Cory

The trip was amazing. Boat crew was friendly and made the trip special for everyone. Being in the water cage free and being able to see the magnificent Galapagos sharks silently glide in and out of view was an experience I will remember for a life time. I will do this again next time I’m in on island.

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Highlight of Oahu

Reviewed by: Peter

Bottom line: This experience was the highlight of our time on Oahu and both of my children (11 and 14) rank it as the most incredible experience of their lives. It really is remarkable.

My 11 year-old was nervous prior to the dive, but her fears were addressed before we even left the harbor. The staff was informative and reassuring. Sam in particular told us exactly what to expect and answered all of our questions. The staff of three on the boat was very respectful toward the ocean and the sharks.

No one tried to up-sell us on products or services during the experience, which was refreshing. The staff took photos of us underwater with sharks and shared them with us at no charge as we returned to the harbor.

You don’t have to be an experienced snorkeler for this... most of our group pretty much floated on the surface the whole time.

Highly, highly recommend. The small group size, informative staff and thrilling experience of freely swimming with sharks was just unbeatable.

I couldn't imagine it any better.

Reviewed by: Flo

I couldn't imagine it being any more amazing. The tour guides were all really professional and a safety diver made sure we didn't accidentally swim into the boat. We got very good diving glasses as well. The sharks themselves were really calm and didn't show any aggression at all and none of us got afraid once they did show up. If i had to describe it, I'd say it feels a bit like standing in front of a cow, a horse, or a dolphin. You know they are multiple times as big as you and could easily kill you, but there is no danger as they simply don't behave like that. And the same goes for the sharks.

My wife and I had such a great experience! The sharks come close but stay at a safe distance. The guides are very knowledgeable about the ocean and have utmost respect for the sea. I recommend taking the earliest trip to have the calmest sea so you don’t have to work too hard fighting waves and currents. A+ outfit!
