The crew with Captain David was awesome! Very friendly and made sure we felt comfortable and safe on the way out to the cage, during the encounter, and on our way back to the dock. We were lucky to see 4 tiger sharks as we arrived. This was a bucket list item for me snd the crew made it all that more memorable. Would recommend booking with this company for your future shark encounters!

I participated in a tour with seven zip lines. There were seven lines ranging from shorter ones to the longest one on Oahu, and there were activities other than zip lining along the way, so I never got bored. Both adults and children can enjoy it thoroughly.
Along the way, there was cold water provided in disposable paper cups, which was very appreciated. The scenery was also wonderful, and I definitely want to participate again.
ジップライン7本のツアーに参加しました。短めのものからオアフ島最長のものまで7本で、途中にジップライン以外のアクティビティもあって飽きることがありませんでした。大人も子供も十分に楽しめます。
途中に冷たいお水が使い捨ての紙カップと一緒に置いてあり、これがとってもありがたかったです。景色も素晴らしく、また是非参加したいです。

I was worried about participating since I couldn't speak any English, but the explanations were clear and easy to understand thanks to the use of gestures, allowing for a smooth experience.
Traveling by bus would have taken quite a long time, so we took an Uber from Matsumoto Shave Ice on the North Shore.
The horseback riding lasted about an hour and a half, and there were two local guides for our group of two. They took nearly 50 photos and shared all of them with us for free via AirDrop.
Even as first-time riders, the horses followed the path perfectly. The scenery was beautiful, and it was truly amazing.
全く英語が出来ず心配で参加しましたが、ジェスチャーを交えてわかりやすく説明してくれたため、スムーズに体験することができました。
移動はバスだと時間がかなりかかるため、ノースショアのマツモトシェイブアイスから、Uberで行きました。
乗馬の時間は1時間30分程で、2組に2人の現地のガイドが付いてくれました。写真も50枚近く撮ってくれて、エアドロップで無料で全てくれました。
乗馬初体験の私たちでも、道順通りに馬が乗せてってくれました。景色も良くて本当に最高でした。

This was one of the highlights of our trip! It was a perfect morning, kayaking out with Steve on a SUP. He was super informative and helpful, making sure we were comfortable and happy. Then we did some rad snorkeling. We saw turtles and lots of fish. I wimped out on kayaking back, so Steve drove us I highly recommend this experience.

Overall we enjoyed this adventure.
-The staff was very good. They were both informative and entertaining.
- We went on a very windy day, but they managed the ocean well and got us to our destination.
- We managed to see a couple of nice sized Sharks while we were out. The cage was very secure and you had no feelings of not being safe.
- I had an AMAZING time, but my husband, who can't handle the sea travel, got sick.
Had a good time and would definitely recommend.

A really good tour with an excellent tour guide that gave tons of Hawaiian history. The snorkeling spot was incredibly rocky and definitely not for a beginner or child. Loved all the hawaiin history and "Cap" was great but not worth the money in my opinion.

I booked this as a spontaneous adventure for my parents and siblings first time visiting Oahu. None of us are super outdoorsy people (I don't even know how to swim) but we had a blast with this experience. The crew was fun, funny, knowledgeable and helpful. There was a lot of nervousness and anxiety with an experience like this but I felt at ease with them with their experience at sea and knowledge of the sharks we encountered. I loved that they loved what they do. I loved that we all shared the same respect and awe for the sharks.
We were fortunate enough to see 2 tiger sharks and dolphins on the way back!! Even my mom who was brought along as just an observer had an incredible experience on the boat ride and took some awesome pics! I wish I had prior experience working with snorkeling gear and learning breathing techniques to stay down longer to spend more time seeing the beautiful tiger sharks we saw. Next time, because there for sure will be, I'll be ready to handle the currents, my breathing techniques, and will bring my own GoPro! Can't wait for next time! Thank you to the amazing Hawaii Shark Encounters crew!

I was under the impression we were on a smaller shuttle bus, not a big bus. By the time we got picked up we had to sit in the back of the bus. Only a few people wore masks. I had paid more for this tour because I thought it was in a smaller vehicle. I saw many smaller shuttles and was told by the tour guide that this company used to use smaller shuttles but now went to the big bus. The tour guide knew a lot about the island that was interesting but it was obvious that he was sure high on himself. We spent a lot of time riding the bus and getting on and off. Last time I was on Oahu I rented a car and it was much more enjoyable.
Hi Dan,
We use a deluxe motor coach for several reasons:
1. The coach has much larger windows than smaller buses and allows for better views.
2. The seats are much more comfortable than minibus seats.
3.The air conditioning system is far superior to smaller buses.
4.We have a dedicated ,professional bus driver AND a second person who provides detailed educational and entertaining narration without being distracted by also having to drive.
Minibuses have the same person driving and narrating.
Masks no longer need to be worn inside as of April,2022.
In order to see and visit the amazing locations on our adventure we have to drive over 100 miles so you not only have the opportunity to visit O'ahu's premier attractions but also see some of the best scenery on Earth.
With Aloha

First and foremost, I have to give a shout-out to Ramsey because he was great. The kayak and experience itself was complete garbage. I was under the impression that we’d be at this beautiful blue sandbar in a glass kayak seeing all these beautiful turtles and looking at the gorgeous sea life underneath us. Come to find out, we would be kayaking at a disgusting creek with dead turtles and the nastiest water I’d ever be in with bubbles included. I watched a YouTube video where they advertised this website with a person on a beautiful blue ocean looking at sealife with this glamorous glass kayak. Meanwhile, I get a hazy plastic kayak with dead turtles in a bubbling green creek. Worst case of false advertising that I’ve EVER come across. I had to quit the excursion early because I was so disgusted and disappointed. I would NOT recommend this trip to anyone. Complete waste of time and money

I took my wife and 3 kids on this ATV tour. Keoki was our tour guide, and he did such a good job. What I really liked most about the tour were the different terrains we got to ride through. Keoki got everyone properly prepared for some of the thrills we'd encounter, and the kids weren't scared at all.
Overall, the kids rated it as their favorite day of our 10-day vacation.
Highly recommend!
