North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach
Fun kayak tour, beautiful views, sea turtles and manta rays!
Activity Date: 2021/05/06 | Posted on: 2021/05/13

My husband and I had a lot of fun kayaking! We loved the glass bottom kayak [we weren't able to see much underneath the kayak (water wasn't that clear on the day we went) but that's ok!]

We had an amazing tour guide, Dan, who is very knowledgeable about the island and left it to us of what we wanted to do & see / how far we wanted to paddle.

We were able to see sea turtles and also manta rays popping up from the water, which was cool because we never been so close to them before or seen them the times we've been to Hawaii. We really enjoyed kayaking in the river because it was easy to paddle, calm waters and a beautiful view.

Highly recommend and would do this again! Thank you Dan for the tour!

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa
Absolutely amazing!
Activity Date: 2021/04/29 | Posted on: 2021/05/05

Kaleo and Myles (sorry if I butchered the spelling, guys <3 !) were our guides and they were absolutely phenomenal. This was one of the most incredible things I have ever experienced. Although the water was a little rough due to wind, my group had an amazing time! We will absolutely do it again and will recommend this tour to everyone!

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides
Best Experience Ever
Activity Date: 2021/04/27 | Posted on: 2021/04/29

I would recommend this as a MUST DO!! Yes you will be nervous but, once you get on the boat your captains will make you feel so comfortable! They both have great humor that helps to calm your nerves. What you will experience while your in the cage is amazing! You get to see it all up close! I would recommend anyone to do this. For tourists plan transportation both ways prior to your tour. Its hard to get a uber in that area.

Cage shark dive
Activity Date: 2021/04/21 | Posted on: 2021/04/23

This was amazing amazing experience! The folks running the boat were informational and extremely friendly. There were only 4 people upon the boat and we were all able to get in the cage together comfortably. For the amount we paid we had a generous amount of time in the cage to view the shark in there natural habitat. They were very curious and we got some beautiful pictures. When I had an issue with the snorkel the team provided several others for me to try. The water was high 70’s and we took the early morning venture where the water was fairly still and the island was quiet. I would absolutely recommend this affordable once in a life time experience!

Kevin made the entire trip outstanding.

I am telling my friends and family to put this on their list . Thanks Uncle Kevin!!

Sam was our tour guide and did a great job. It was the perfect balance between plenty to do and downtime. We did the falls and then paddle boarding up the river, where we saw sea turtles. The entire day was perfect. I would highly recommend it.

Eco hike
Activity Date: 2021/04/02 | Posted on: 2021/04/04

Last minute booking are we are extremely happy with the hike. Randy was an awesome tour guide and provided a lot of interesting information. Lunch provided was an organic shrimp or chicken roll up that was very tasty and the perfect size... the swim in the river was refreshing...seeing the forest with strawberry quads trees and ginger root everywhere... Tahiti prawns in the river nd wild pigs in the forest. The 4x4 rig was a great ride on both pavement and muddy roads... a must do trip

I had the best time on my shark tour! The guys were super helpful and informative. The weather was great and I felt very safe the entire time, even inside the cage with the Sharks. There were so many Sharks swimming around the cage, much more than I expected. I highly recommend this shark cage tour. I had the best time with them.

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours
Must experience
Activity Date: 2021/03/06 | Posted on: 2021/03/08

It was really a great experience, regardless of the rain. HoHo was my horse— described as the Regina George of the group! The staff were friendly. Wish there was a way to communicate with our leader, Cassie a bit better while on the trail. It would be nice to have stopped in one more place for pictures and if the spot we do stop at could have a block so people could get off, that would be cool! It would also be cool to learn a little about the plants we see, the area we are in, more information about POLO too.
The pace was good although a little instruction on how to sit in the seat (where to tighten to lessen the inside leg pain) would be helpful too.
I did not see and was not ensured of a method for cleaning the helmets. Maybe offering some kind of bandana for customers to buy so people who are weary of lice or anything can feel more comfortable.
We really learned the meaning of learning how to ride “it”.

I had a great time horseback riding. The scenery was beautiful, and they took photos for me. (I received them later via airdrop.) Riding alone for about an hour since I was 8 years old is something I can't do in Japan, so it was a wonderful experience.

It was really great, nice view of the sharks, enough time, just enough people in the cage, perfect, I will just suggest that the guides are a little more excited about the tour itself, maybe they were not excited because it was 1 p.m.

My husband and I had never been ziplining before, but we were really excited to try this out. The guides are SO awesome! They explain everything before you do it and they make you laugh along the way. They have "challenges" throughout the tour and they are such a blast! At the end of the tour they teach you how to do some tricks, which was SO cool! My husband Spiderman'ed and I hung upside down, spread eagle lol.
Thank you guys for such an incredible trip! We bought shirts and some stickers that are currently hanging on our fridge :)

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa
WOW!!!!
Activity Date: 2020/12/13 | Posted on: 2021/01/02

WOW!!! What an INCREDIBLE experience!!!!!
My husband and I are both scared of sharks and he is very claustrophobic. We were worried how he would do in the cage. This was our FAVORITE part of Hawaii! As soon as you get to the spot, you immediately see sharks. They knew what we were doing there and they remember that the guides feed them, so they were all over the boat. Such a gnarly thing to see fins coming up right next to the boat!
There were eight of us on the boat and we were able to split into two groups so we could all have space and time inside the cage. It was SO COOL!! There were 8-12 Galapagos sharks swimming right next to us. They come so close to the cage, you could easily reach out and touch them, but do NOT do that lol.
We could not believe how much we loved this adventure. We recommend to everyone!!

I couldn't imagine it any better.

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.
