Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Fantastic!!!

Complete adrenaline rush!!! Would definitely go again and again!!! This coming from first timers!!! Although the water was very choppy, you felt safe in the cage. Just remember to be on the safe side, keep your feet and hands in the cage. You spend more than enough time with the sharks. The guides were friendly and informative. As we were leaving, a booby bird flew in and decided to hang out on the cage. We were also able to see a school of dolphins swimming by. We never did get anything to drink so, you might want to bring a bottle of water along. They also sell a Shark Encounter T-shirt which is pretty cool to wear and it let's everyone know of your experience. Remember to bring a waterproof camera as you'll want to take up-close pictures of the sharks!!!

A very fun time with a nice tour guide and his family. Unique stops on the North SHore that most tour companies just drive by. Highly Recommended!

this is definitely not for the faint of heart! Although sharks do NOT like to eat humans (as it is commonly believed)! It is very exhilarating to watch them all around you. We would recommend it to anyone looking to have the experience of their lives!

Awesome Time in North Shore

Reviewed by: Terry

This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we wanted to make sure that we don't miss North Shore, but didn't want to take a typical sightseeing tour on a huge bus with 50 other people. This tour turns out to be a great one with a lot of personal touch. We were able to enjoy a full day on Waimea Bay, just relaxing, snorkeling, swimming, etc. A perfect day on the north shore. We were also able to check out the Haleiwa Town to do some shopping. There are a lot of artists living there to sell their beautiful arts. Highly recommended!

Reviewed by: John Simonsen SLC UT

This one of the biggest thrills I have ever experienced, and there has been alot, we have traveled all over the world and this is most definately in the top 5 for us. To have a shark 8-12 feet long inches from your face, let alone 15-20 of them within 20 feet of you is extreme, then add in some good sized swells to add to the excitement, I wouldn't miss it again, ever, a must for anyone who needs a thrill.

Great experienc w/ experienced crew

Reviewed by: Jose

This adventure delivers on exactly what it offers. If you've seen the shark specials on the discovery channel this will be very similar except for the fact that YOU are up close and personal with the sharks. Bring waterproof camera for great shots. I didn't have one but I brought my live action camera and filmed some great footage from on the boat.

THE BEST!!

Reviewed by: Rob

This experience was the best thing I have ever done in my short time on this earth! Even though I was seasick I still had the time of my life. The captain made sure everything was as safe and controlled. These sharks were not aquarium sharks! These beautiful creatures were enormus, full of spledor and power. I was amazed to see in real life. If or when I return to the island I will do this adventure again. Don't miss the opportunity to get in the cage you only live once, Seize the Day!

Take A Camera!!

Reviewed by: Dr Bob (From the UK)

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

WOW!

Reviewed by: Sandi

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!

DO THIS TOUR!

Reviewed by: UnderwaterAdventurer

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

Reviewed by: Garry & Tracey

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.
