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

Exciting Shark Adventures

Reviewed by: Gavin

It was truly awe inspiring to see these amazing animals in the wild. The crew was informative and helpful. The waters were choppier than normal, so there was some sea sickness, but that wouldn’t stop me from doing it again. Completely loved it!

We booked with VELTRA for our recent trip to Hawaii. They took care of us before, during and after our events. They also totally understood the reason for one of our party having to cancel last minute because of illness. I would recommend them for your activities.

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Loved this!!

Reviewed by: Awesome day!

Cousin G was awesome! We had a great day. The morning activity we chose snorkeling. Unfortunately for others, the falls were closing on Monday’s starting THAT day due to covid restrictions, so everyone had to do snorkeling. Had some food from shrimp truck, it was okay. We stopped at a macadamia nut and coffee tasting place, that was really cool. We did kayaking for our afternoon activity- not a lot of shade so definitely bring sunscreen or wear a long sleeve top, we roasted on the river. Then we stopped in town. Was a great day on the north shore, thanks again cousin g!

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Kari

Lexi was the name of our tour guide and she was friendly, experienced, funny and really provided my husband and I, a quality trail ride through North Shore’s Paradise.

Lexi reminded me of my home town friends whom I rodeoed with since I was a kid. After talking with her, instantly we shared memories and stories of our childhoods and our love for horses. It was my husbands first time on a horse so it was so fun sharing my passion with him. We enjoyed the scenery and the horses we're great. We rode “Mo mo” and “Trapper”. The whole experience from start to finish was excellent. I highly recommend Hawaii Polo Ocean Front Trail Rides to anyone who wants a few hours out on beautiful horses exploring the North Shore. Mahalo Lexi! Good luck in your future endeavors!

Mahalo!

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

Had a fantastic time

Reviewed by: Dmitry

Saw lots of Sharks! They come real close up! Crew was professional and very nice. There were 2 groups of 6 people each that took turns in the shark cage on our trip. Just be aware that while waiting on the boat for your turn (or waiting for the other group to finish their shark encounter) you are stuck on the boat and it can get real rocky. If you are prone to se sickness take proper precautions! My girlfriend was prone to sea sickness and suffered a bit while waiting on the boat but she made it through. All in all it was a great experience!!

I loved the experience of swimming near those sharks it was a unique experience to see how huge these animals are and how beautiful is the marine life. I thought I was going to see 2-3 sharks and when I arrived there were more than 20. The boat left on time. The staff was very nice, thoughtful. They made us feel safe and answered all our questions.

One Ocean Diving Hawaii Shark Dive on Oahu & Snorkel Tour Experience

Amazing & above expectations!

Reviewed by: Jon

This experience was AMAZING! At peak, I counted 12 sharks swimming around & below us. A few of the large ones came level with us to check us out! It was intimidating & inspiring! Plus, there just happened to be a large barracuda where we anchored who seemed as curious by us as we were of the sharks!
I'll admit that I was intimidated at the thought of being cageless. When I saw the barracuda at the nose of the ship I was all the more intimidated. But, this was why I did cage-free, i wanted to stomp this fear/intimidation.
We were in the water for a long time (I think 30 to 40min). At around 20min I decided to let go of the ship & just swim around a bit with the sharks & the barracuda! I cannot describe the full experience. It was amazing being in a "foreign land" (the ocean) with these incredible creatures!
I got my money's worth & more and I absolutely will do another cage-free dive next time I visit! I've found a new love with this experience!
Also, the three employees who led our escapade were great, interactive, & friendly.
I highly recommend people bring a go-pro & selfie stick. Also, let go of the boat, even if briefly.
