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

Highly Recommended!

Reviewed by: Nat C

My husband and I took this tour recently while in Hawaii and it rocked! Our driver was Sam and he was great. Very knowledgable about Hawaii and offered some really interesting tidbits of info. He was laid back, friendly and very engaging. This tour is great because you have the freedom to choose your activities and even traveling in a group you are not forced to select the same options. You can add activities on site which was also a plus. We were dropped in each location for about two hours and were free to eat, wander and otherwise do as we chose. There was a lady in our group that was by herself and she really enjoyed herself as well. Hailewa town was cool to wander around in and my husband even had time to kayak there and join me at the shops. Free water and juice was also a nice bonus. I highly recommend this tour if you are headed to Oahu!

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

You'd be Insane NOT to do it!

Reviewed by: Jennifer Alvarez

The Hi-light of our trip. The crew was AWESOME. They were very informative as well as entertaining. Even though we were in the ocean with a lot of sharks we still felt completely safe. This is the closest you can come face to face with nature w/o fearing for your life (well, almost - it is a little scary at first). The sharks are amazing animals. Can't put into words what its like to look a shark in the eye. You have to see it for yourself. We were in the cage for about 20-30 minutes, but it seemed like an hour and there was plenty of room. If you tend to get sea sick just take a pill and do it anyway. You won't regret it. Definately get the DVD, its about $65 and worth every penny. I'm pretty cheap myself, but knew I couldn't pass the DVD up. Totally worth it. Just DO IT and don't forget your underwater cameras.

I was impressed by the sea and the sharks! 海と鮫に感激！

Reviewed by: クッチー

Three miles offshore. The depth is 40 to 50 meters!!
Looking down from the stopped boat, I saw a dark shadow...
Could it be already? As I strained my eyes and looked around again, I spotted not just one or two, but about ten sharks visible from the surface...
It was more awe-inspiring than scary.
I often saw the dorsal fins breaking the surface on TV, and it was exactly the same scene.
Now, into the cage!
I was astonished by the deep blue sea and the sharks.
I think I had a rare experience. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth it.

3mile先の沖合い。深さは40~50M !!
停止した船から下を除くと黒い影が…
まさかすでに？と目を凝らして再度辺りを見渡すと１匹、２匹ではなく、１０匹くらいの鮫を海上から黙認。。。
怖いよりスゴイの感激でした。
よく背びれを海面に出す姿をTVなどで拝見していましたが、まさに同じ光景です。
いざ、おりの中へ！
真っ青な海と鮫に唖然でした。
レアな体験ができたと思います。少し高いですが、価値はありますよ。

Reviewed by: Hawaii 2010

We headed out to the shark cage at 7:30 am and sadly no sharks. The crew was as disappointed as we were and let us know that if we didn't have a shark experience they would reschedule us or refund our money. Lucky for us there was a cancellation on a boat later that morning - so we headed out again - and we were not disappointed. 5 - 6 sharks circled the cage the entire time we were on the water. Nothing like looking a shark in the eye! Fabulous time and would recommend it to anyone wanting to have an up close and personal experience with a shark(s).

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: ぽち

I sank a cage offshore and jumped in... At first, I was anxious, but if you try, you can do it! It was September, but the water temperature was a bit low. Also, since the waves were rough offshore, it might be better not to eat too much before participating. Two out of six people got seasick.

Still, it was an invaluable experience. After returning home, my PC crashed, and I lost the photos of the sharks, which made me weep. I want to participate again.

沖合に檻を沈めてそこにどぼん、、、最初は不安でしたがなせばなる！9月でしたが水温は若干低め。あと沖合で波が荒いので、参加する前にはあまりものを食べすぎない方がいいかも。酔ってはいた人2人／6人。
それでも得難い経験です。帰国後PCがクラッシュして、サメの写真が消えてしまいむせび泣きました。また参加したい。

This was the most fun we had on Oahu. Captain Dave and Crewman Chris are very professional, knowledgeable and entertaining. We felt safe in their capable hands...which was especially important, given the fact that this is an incredibly thrilling activity! Sooooo scary....being in the water, surrounded by numerous sharks of varying size (basically bigger than you, and much faster too!) certainly makes the adrenaline pump!

We bought the DVD of our experience, and we appreciate the fact that it is your choice to have your experience taped or not, and is therefore more personal and not 'pushed' at you for purchase. Just got home last night, and immediately watched it!

We recommend this activity to all but the faint of heart!

I thought I was going to be scared, but they made sure I was at ease. We go in a little deep, and the reality hits you when you see the cage. It was windy that day, and we got some waves.

Sharks Galore!

Myself and a close friend were visiting Oahu for 5 days, and she decided that we should take the time to go 'swimming with sharks.'

Now, keep in mind that I have a tremendous fear of drowning and also am not too keen on the idea of swimming with sharks, but I was convinced to 'live a little,' and I signed us up for the North Shore Shark Adventure- and I am SO GLAD that I did.

The staff were EXTREMELY helpful, witty, and sarcastic in the right places. They put everyone's fears to rest at the beginning of the tour, and were extremely knowledgeable about everything regarding the tour and more. (Who knew that specific sharks will just bump you with their noses and then leave you alone because they have taste buds on the outside of their bodies?)

For our tour, the wind was really picking up and the seas were a bit choppy, so there was a little bit more salt water swallowed than I care for and 1/2 our party got seasick..* (they recommend buying dramamine at the beginning of the to

Beautiful Beach on North Shore

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The Beach on the North Shore tour was beautiful, very clean, and a refreshing change from Waikiki Beach. The waves were much stronger and had great surfing beaches along the way for those interested in that. Really enjoyed watching folks on that diving rock there. The ride was long, but the driver was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and relayed lots of information about Hawaii. The stroll through the small, older town with shops and eateries was unique. Loved the music provided by that musical family that lives there and entertains the tourists. A relief to see more enjoyable aspects of Oahu without the hassle of driving.

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＞

Shark サメ・鮫・さめ

Reviewed by: おきみどん

I wanted to go to the North Shore to see the big waves and the surfing scenes, but instead, I joined a shark tour.

I get seasick, I don't like water, and I can't swim. I've been scared of sharks since middle school, so I usually avoid the ocean. However, I’m glad I went, even though I got seasick, dislike water, and can't swim!

Even if you're just observing, it's perfectly fine, so if you're not comfortable wearing a swimsuit, that's okay. You can enjoy seeing the fins and large shapes from the boat.

I recommend bringing an underwater camera, which you can find at ABC Stores; they sell them for around $13, while on the boat, they cost $15.

Once you're on the boat, all conversations are in English, haha. Even if you don't understand everything, please pay attention to the safety instructions. They will give you a booklet with instructions in Japanese, so make sure to read it.

The staff, both the older man and the younger guy, are really friendly. You’ll go into the water for 20 minutes at a time, and there are safety instructions for that, so be sure to check. They provide snorkeling gear, but I thought just the goggles would be enough for me since I’ve never used them before and found them cumbersome.

My friend is a very good swimmer, and after diving, he said he was close enough to the sharks that he thought about reaching out to touch them. There were definitely sharks that were over 3 meters long swimming around. They were calmly attacking the bait thrown by the staff.

Despite being someone who struggles with everything, I had a lot of fun. I was clinging to the cage because I was scared, so my arms are incredibly sore now. I’m thinking of booking this tour again when I go to Hawaii. I don’t think there are many tours like this in Japan, so I highly recommend it.

The ocean is incredibly beautiful, the scenery is great, and the sharks are huge. It was a really good experience.

I would advise against bringing small children. The same goes for anyone with heart issues; the water is cold, and seeing the sharks might be shocking. The boat moves quite fast, so if you're going during a cooler season, I recommend bringing a thick jacket.

Next time I go, I plan to practice getting used to the cold water.

It might be hard to see, but I’ll leave some photos here.

ノースショアに行きたかったのは、高波とサーフィンの情景をを見に・・・思っていたのですが、サメツアーに参加です。

私は船酔いするし水が嫌い、もちろん泳げないし中学以来サメが怖いから海に行かない奴なんですが、これは！船酔いしても水が嫌いでも泳げなくても行って良かったです。

見学だけでもＯＫですので、水着はどうも嫌と思う方でも大丈夫、船の上からヒレや大きな姿が存分に楽しめます。

ＡＢＣストアなどに水中用カメラが売っているので御持参されることをお勧めします、船内15ドル・ＡＢＣ13ドル前後。

船に乗ったら会話はすべて英語ｗ
分からないなりにも注意事項はよく聞いていてください、日本語の注意事項冊子を渡されるので読んで下さい。

スタッフのおじさんとお兄さんは凄くフレンドリーです。
1回20分海に入ります、入る時の注意事項もあるので要チェック。シュノーケルは貸してくれますが、私は水中眼鏡だけでいいなと思いました。使った事無いので邪魔で邪魔で。

友人は泳ぎがかなり上手いため潜水したあと、「手を伸ばして触ろうかと思った」ほど近くまでサメがよってきています。　本当に３mはゆうにある子達がウヨウヨ。
おじさんが投げる餌に悠然と襲い掛かってました。

何もかも苦手な私がなんかとっても楽しかった、確かに苦手だったので檻にしがみ付いていた為、腕が物凄く筋肉痛です。ハワイに行くときはまた予約しようかなと思います。
日本ではなかなかこういったツアーは無いと思うのでお勧めです。

海が物凄くきれい、景色も良い、サメもでかい
とてもいい経験でした。

小さいお子さんは止めた方がいいでしょう。
心臓が悪い方も同様、水が冷たいしサメ見たらショックかも。
船がかなり高速で動くので気温が低い時期は厚手の上着を持参された方がいいと思います。


今度行く時は冷たい水につかる練習して行こうと思います。

分かりづらいですが、写真おいておきます。
