ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー 迫力満点!至近距離で野生のサメを見学 <送迎可>

I was moved to see a shark up close! まじかにサメが見れて感動!

Reviewed by: まっく

The weather was nice, and with calm waves, I was able to enjoy myself without getting seasick. The situation where sharks came close enough to reach out and touch was truly thrilling!

天気もよく、うそのように波のない状況で船酔いもせず楽しめました。
サメが手の届きそうなところまでせまってくる状況は、迫力満点!!

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

15-20 Sharks

Reviewed by: Geoff & Louise Davis

We attended this trip in September 2014, & from the start the staff were fun, knowledgeable & helpful. The sea was a bit choppy as we had the 10-00 am trip, but with Gravol inside, no issues here.
The ocean was crystal clear. the cage was a bit buffeted, due to waves, but this did not spoil our enjoyment of seeing sharks at close quarters, in their environment.
We saw around 15 sharks, & thought this was brilliant. would highly recommend.

Amazing

Reviewed by: Roxanne

This was one of the most exciting experiences of my life. Its hard to put into words the beauty and grace of the sharks I saw. Knowing I was completely safe made the experience all the better. Russell my driver had some wonderful information about the island and was a joy to talk to during the drive. I have recommended this adventure to everyone I talked to. Definitely would do this again.

I had a great experience! いい体験ができました!

Reviewed by: kitty

We went out to sea on a boat that can hold about 20 people, crossing rough waves. We were the only Japanese there. We were divided into three groups and entered the cage in turn. The sharks gathered due to the sound of the boat's engine, so we were able to see many of them! They are not carnivorous and are said to be a type that does not attack humans, so we could enjoy it with peace of mind. While waiting on the boat and inside the cage, it rocked quite a bit, so almost everyone got seasick. Everyone who was lively and energetic on the way out was silent and exhausted on the way back... it was a good memory (laughs). As noted in the precautions, it's definitely better to take motion sickness medication. Also, it can get cold if the wind is strong, so I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear and a bath towel to dry off quickly.

20人乗りくらいのボートで荒波をこえ沖まで出ました。
日本人は私たちだけでした。
3グループに分けられ、順番に檻に入ります。
サメはボートのエンジン音で集まってくるのでたくさん見れました!
肉食ではないので人は襲わない種類らしく、安心して楽しめました。
待っている間のボートも、檻の中も、かなり揺れるのでほぼ全員船酔いしてました。
行きはノリノリで元気だったみんなが帰りは無言でぐったり。。。いい思い出です(笑)
注意事項にもあるとおり、酔い止めは絶対飲んだ方がいいですね。
あと、風が強いと寒いので羽織るものとすぐ体をふけるようにバスタオルは持って行った方がいいと思います。

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Amazing Adventure

Reviewed by: Kevin D

My girlfriend and I decided to do this as a spur of the moment adventure and it was well worth it. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable about the sharks we would be seeing. The boat fit 16 people so we were split into two groups of 8 that took turns going into the cage. The cage was large and was able to fit 8 people comfortably. The instant I went underwater there were three sharks just swimming right by the cage. We ended up seeing about 6-8 different sharks and it was a surreal experience. I would highly recommend this trip!

This was an incredible activity. There were quite a few sharks and we were right there with them. It was crazy. We even saw a whale on our way out to the cage.

Amazing experience! Well over a dozen sharks swimming around, close to the cage. Plenty of time in the water. I would definitely recommend the video which probably adds a few minutes to your experience and is reasonably priced. The staff was personable and safety focused making for a great experience. Of all the activities we have done this trip this is the one we will do again our next time out.

Thanks so much to North Shore Shark Adventures! We had such a great time and the sharks we saw were countless! Even saw a barracuda who lingered around the cage. Captain Tanja and the crew were fantastic. They were knowledgeable,friendly,and funny. We brought home a video of our adventure and are so glad that we did! We would do this again in a minute! (This coming from someone who is afraid of everything = Karen!) I would recommend this adventure to anyone visiting the island. See you next time NSSA!

I was so excited to see it up close! 近くで見られて大興奮!

Reviewed by: ksk

We participated as a couple with pickup from our hotel in Waikiki. We were so excited to see them up close! It seems that the sharks come closer when they hear the sound of the boat's engine, thinking they might get food, but there was no danger of them attacking. Although Japanese was not spoken on the boat or during the pickup, we were able to communicate somewhat through basic conversation. There is a Japanese translation guide on the boat.

Many people mention seasickness, but I took motion sickness medicine beforehand, so I didn't feel sick at all. It should be fine once you get used to it, but the waves can be quite strong. They ask if you want to film underwater videos. For $65, you get about 10 minutes of MP4 footage on an SD card and a bonus DVD, and after the tour, you can buy an original T-shirt for $30, both of which accept credit cards. You don't have to buy them, but I recommend it as a nice keepsake.

Also, it's definitely better to bring a disposable underwater camera. They were selling them on the boat, but since they don't speak Japanese, it's probably best to bring your own. I took a cheap waterproof digital camera I bought in Japan.

I wanted to do some sightseeing on the North Shore, but since the tour ends with immediate return to Waikiki, it might be a good idea for those familiar with Hawaii to rent a car. There seemed to be places nearby where you could park for free. Additionally, we were lucky enough to see a whale, making it a great tour!

ワイキキのホテルからの送迎付きで夫婦で参加しました。
さわれそうな距離で見られて大興奮!
船のエンジン音を聞きつけて餌がもらえると思い、鮫が寄ってくるそうですが襲ってくるような危険さはありませんでした。
送迎も船も日本語は通じませんが、なんとなくの会話で意思疎通は出来ました。
船に日本語訳の説明書はあります。
皆さん書かれている船酔いですが、酔い止めを事前に飲んだので全く船酔いはなし。慣れれば大丈夫ですが揺れは結構大きいです。
船上で水中動画撮影は必要かと聞かれます。SDカードにMP4で10分程度とおまけDVD付きで65$、終了後にオリジナルTシャツ30$、いずれもクレジットカードOKです。
買わなくていいけど記念になるので購入おすすめです。
あと、水中カメラは使い捨てでもいいので持っていった方が絶対いいです。船上でも販売はあったそうですが日本語が通じないので持参のほうがいいかも。私は日本で買った安い防水デジカメを持っていきました。
ノースショアで観光もしたかったのですが終われば即ワイキキへ送迎なので、ハワイ慣れしている人はレンタカーで行くのもいいかもしれないです。近くに無料で停められそうなところはありました。
あと、運よく鯨も出現して、いいツアーになりました。

Shark tank

Reviewed by: Robyn

The shark tank was a blast! The crew was fun, professional, lots of energy, they made the experience worthwhile. They made us a video, totally worth the extra $, explained everything extremely well. I was a little unsure as we entered the cage but once we got in and saw all the sharks no fear, just fun. We saw many sharks, they were curious swimming around the cage, they didn't try to ram it or anything crazy. Just a great morning swimming with the sharks! This is a must!!

We were divided into three groups, but the waves in the North were high, and by the time we got to the last group, it was impossible to enjoy the experience due to seasickness! Several people were vomiting. Unfortunately, some had to withdraw. I cannot recommend this for anyone who is prone to seasickness!

Thank you very much for participating. We are truly sorry to hear that you felt unwell due to the high waves. The height of the waves can be affected by the weather on the day, but for those who are concerned, we recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance, as noted on the activity page. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。波が高かったようで、ご気分が悪くなられたとの事、誠に残念でございます。当日の天候により波の高さは左右されますが、ご心配な方は事前に酔い止め薬を飲まれることをアクティビティページ上でも推奨させていただいております。貴重なご意見をありがとうございました。

Without a doubt, the best thing I did all week.

Reviewed by: Rob R

When my friend asked me to do this with him, I was a bit hesitant. Not knowing what to expect, my imagination relived several scenes in "Jaws". After doing some research and coming to the realization that North Shore does this on a daily basis without people loosing limbs, I agreed. It turned out to be an absolutely phenomenal experience. We arranged for the hotel pickup and once in the van, took the 45 minute ride to the North Shore area of Oahu. Once at the marina, it's about a 20-30 minute ride out to the cage. The Captain went over all the safety instructions thoroughly and describes what types of sharks we would be seeing. His shark lecture was very informative and wasn't stumped when questions were asked. Once at the site, the cage is secured to the side of the boat and after the 8-10 passengers get in, the cage is allowed to float away about 20 feet. Observing the sharks was a thing of beauty and simply can't be described in words. I would do this again in a heartbeat.

Reviewed by: KellyB

This would have been an awesome trip if it hadn't been ruined by motion sickness. And I wasn't the only one affected, there were 6 other people hanging their heads over the side of the boat with me. This excursion is definately a do-over only next time I'll take the morning trip and start loading up on dramamine the night before. I want to mention, though, that the captain and crew were very nice and knowledgeable of sharks and shark conservation and I will go with this company again.

Aloha Karmine, We apologize that we didn't exceed your expectations this time, We will strive to do better on the next. We upgraded our cage less than a year ago and it is now about 65% bigger than it was back 3 years ago. Being the shark tour with the biggest cage, we currently average 5 - 8 people maximum at any given time. We have upgraded our boats within the past 2 years since 3 of our boats were burned back in 2011. We hope to better service you on your next trip out here.

Unique Activity

Reviewed by: Lin

Getting in the water with sharks was definitely a unique afternoon! Our hosts weren't especially talkative but knew what they were doing and we all got a turn. If you're going to get in the water with sharks I suggest this company because of the plexiglass on the side of the cage. None of the pictures I took through the bars turned out because of the light reflection! Also arrive early to the dock! The sign is tiny, faded and at the far end of a parking lot. Took us 20 minutes to find where to go after arriving.
