All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

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!

We are retired and this was a bucket list item. This was fun for any age an experience you take with you forever.
We made adventure friends and have pictures to share with our grandkids.
I highly recommend this for families with kids. A wonderful way to start a new appreciation for the ocean.

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.

The booking went smooth and the Shark dive was amazing

Note: they are a tent set up by beach right at the road. Super friendly, on time, fun, wanted to be sure we had a good time! Would book again!

Horses, Beach views, and GOATS! This horseback riding trails is one to beat, The staff was super friendly and ready to strike up conversation, the horses are gorgeous and friendly and the view! Nothing beats looking at the shore while on a horse, but most importantly they have these goats that you know are up to no good haha. Definitely will remember the experience and most definitely will be back again when visiting the islands

Awesome time with Ezra, Bruce, and Scott. They made it so much fun with their jokes and stories. The views are amazing. They made us feel safe and welcomed. Highly recommend and will come again!

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

Awesome experience! With Nice instructors and well-trained horses, I had a great time.

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!

The ride was beautiful, we could see the beach for the majority of the time. Beware - you do pass a nude beach!

It was an amazing experience of Kayaking and Pauno has done great job as our guide
He was very patient with us and took photos of us from standup paddle board
Wherever he found turtles he took us there and we are truly happy with the experience

Great ride on the beach! Beautiful sunset! The guides were wonderful, friendly, informative. It was definitely a must do again!

This was an amazing trip and we had a wonderful guide Jo-jo who was super knowledgeable about all aspects of hawaii cultural, history, plants, food, birds etc...The bus was nice and air conditioned and the time stopping off at each location was just right. An 11 hour day is a long day but it didn't feel like it because we were so loving every step of the trip and jojo's stories and support was great!

My children were so pleased with this ride and the amazing sunset views. The girls that went out on the trail with us were wonderful and very informative I would recommend this site to all!!! It was breathtaking! I give this horseback riding location 5 ⭐️!

Great experience!!!! Highly recommended. It’s safe!!!!

Excellent service and wonder experience, thank you Kevin

We had the most amazing time and experience ever I highly highly recommend!!! Would do this again in a heart beat.

Had an amazing time!!! The tour guides were amazing!!

It’s a great experience visiting the North Shore with Calvin! He’s funny and created a relaxing environment for us!
I would recommend a tour with Uncle Calvin who takes good care of folks in the tour and gave many good advices on where to get good food in town.

This was so freaking fun. i thought that id be scared but the crew made me feel comfortable and calm. It was a great experience and i highly recommend to anyone

When visiting Oahu, go to the north shore and participate in this excursion. It was a great experience, got lots of footage and learned so much. The crew was great.

This is an absolute must do. It was so amazing to see the sharks swimming right next to you and under you in a completely safe environment. The crew was also amazing; very knowledgeable and kind.

I have 0 experience in riding horses, and this place just make my first horse ride amazing. Had little nerves before riding it, and soon I got on its back; I feel comfortable and relaxed. Horses are well trained and in good behavior all the time. The guild is friendly as well. She introduced lots of things along the trip and taking care of each of the riders if they need help.
Overall, if you are first time riding the horse, you don't need to worry about it, it's 100% safe, and you will get relaxed after a couple of mins.

Friendly Crew, Knowledgeable Caption, Clean boat!! We Felt safe!! We had a Blast, Sharks were Soo Amazing around people!! We can’t wait to do it Again!!!

We had such an awesome time and our guides were so nice and knowledgeable! There were about 14-16+ sharks when we went which was incredible. We highly recommend doing this at least once when you’re here.

Kioki (I hoped I’m spelling it right ) . Love him . His knowledgable about his job. His fun and understand the safety requirements about ATV. My husbands favorite excursion while traveling . We had a blast running through rugged terrain . He educated us about certain trees that can only be found in Hawaii . We will be back with our family soon. Thank you Kioki for a wonderful , exhilarating run through the forest ..❤️

The crew was very knowledgeable and friendly. There were many sharks swimming around the cage. The water was a bit rough the morning of our experience but sharks could still be seen. We would highly recommend North Shore Shark Adventures.

My boyfriend and I booked this ATV tour with the intention of just having fun and getting dirty, but it turned out to be so much more than that! Our tour guide, Kioke, was exceptional! He has such a welcoming demeanor and made our trip so much fun! He was very knowledgeable about Hawaii and how the lands came about. We truly think he's a natural when it comes to his line of work! We really enjoyed every minute of our trip and were excited to hear of different types of tours that could be added in the future! If we come back to Oahu, we will make sure to come visit Kioke on the north shore again!
