Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Great Shark experience!! Bucket list you can cross off.

Reviewed by: Santa Kevin Scott

The guys on boat really do a great job. We had a lot of sharks around and great memories made. We will be coming back again for sure. Only wish a few other types of sharks would have joined us. A hammerhead or tiger shark would have been a treat. I studied sharks in Oceanography for 3 years. So know a ton about sharks. Loved every second of being in the water with them.

I was surprised to see a shark so close. サメがとても近くてびっくり

Reviewed by: Tomo

There are a lot of sharks, and you can see them very closely. I wouldn't recommend it for those who don't speak any English at all, but if you can understand a little, the staff is kind and friendly, and I think it's a lot of fun. The boat rocks a lot, so taking motion sickness medication is essential.

サメはたくさんいますし、とても近くで見れます。
英語が全くダメな方にはオススメしませんが、少し理解出来る方であればスタッフも親切ですしフレンドリーでとても楽しいと思います。
船がめちゃくちゃ揺れるので船酔いの薬は必須です。

I was a little unsure about what to expect but once we got on the boat the tour guide did an awesome job of making us feel more comfortable. He explained everything and was very professional. It was amazing to be so close to the sharks and to have a new understanding of them. I would do it again for sure.

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach

Best tour on the North Shore - Turtle Paradise

Reviewed by: mcavalheiro

This kayak tour is incredible, the clear bottom allows you to see all the marine life. Kayaking on the waters of Haleiwa was one of the best things I've ever done. The coral formation is so beautiful, you see so many fishes and turtles.
I have never seen so many turtles in my life, they are everywhere, even in the river. OMG it was amazing, Haleiwa is the turtle paradise!
But I have to say that this is tour is not just about the scenery, the guide made this experience be even better. The local guides grew up on the North Shore and they are so nice and knowledgeable about the area. If you wanna see turtles and if you are looking for a perfect day on the North Shore you should book this tour. A true unique experience in Hawaii.

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach

Worth going Rain or Shine

Reviewed by: Nunia T.

My friend and I woke up early in the morning and drove ourselves out to Haleiwa for this tour. The sky looked really overcast and were already thinking the worst that the tour would not be great however we were wrong. This is the perfect kayak tour to do on a sunny or even rainy day. Visibility was still clear and when entering into the Turtle River with all the rain, if felt like we were in a National Discovery scene exploring the amazons. We seen so much turtles in the river and so much fishes out in the ocean. It is also a plus that the kayaks are clear ans see through so you can just record and take pictures from inside your kayak instead of risking it out and losing it.

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

Shark of a good time!

Reviewed by: Bossman

Captain Dave and deck hands Dave and Martin were fantastic. We had young and old on the trip and everyone had a good time - except maybe the ones who got seasick - it was a little rough on the day of our trip according to Martin. The time in the cage was worth the cost and each person had plenty of time in the cage to see the sharks. You have to have some strength in your arms to hold onto the cage and keep your body in position to see the sharks. Not sure if the rough conditions added to that or not. Once in a life time experience, so if you are unsure about doing it - do it for sure! The ocean water was an amazing deep blue that was a surprise to me, it was awesome!!!

You can see sharks up close. サメが近くでみれます。

Reviewed by: ちびたん

There is a shuttle service available, but we went to the North Shore by rental car. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes from the dock. You will enter a cage. You can see sharks while snorkeling inside the cage. There is a water shower available, but the only place to change is the restroom. I changed in the car. I think it's better to bring your own towels from the hotel.

送迎もありますが。私たちはレンタカーでノースショアまでいきました。
船着き場から20~30分ほどかかります。ケージの中にはいります。ケージの中でサメをシュノーケルでみます。水のシャワーは使えますが、トイレしか着替えるところはないです。私は車の中で着替えました。ホテルのタオルは持参したほうがいいと思います。

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

So much fun - I booked it twice!

Reviewed by: Mike in SC

I’ve been on several shark dives in the past - almost all without cages. This experience was right up there with all the rest.
Without a cage you really get to understand that, unlike Shark Week hype, sharks are not out to get us.
You share the ocean and appreciate them as they go about their own business. We had up to 17 sharks in the vicinity on the my second trip, including Galapagos, Sandbar, and Scalloped Hammerheads. A couple would cruise by closer, but most seemed content to keep their distance.
The team made both dives very informative as well as enjoyable. Their cameraman ensures that you’ll have pictures to share with family and friends. I used my GoPro, but still got the pictures they took as well.
If I’m ever back on Oahu, I’ll book a couple more outings with them.

  • That’s me, having a blast!

There were a lot of them‼ わんさかいました‼

Reviewed by: ヽ( ’ω’)/

Three of us participated! ♫ There were about 12 other people from overseas joining as well. We took motion sickness medication beforehand, but the boat was rocking quite a bit while we were stopped at the point where the sharks were. Some people ended up vomiting before they even saw the sharks, so I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case, even if you don't usually get seasick.

Once we dove in from the enclosure, we encountered a lot of sharks! ♫ It's not often you get to see them up close, so it really gets your adrenaline pumping! The sharks' faces were clearly visible and they looked quite cute. (laughs)

Our turn was last, but we were in the same group as a dandy gentleman from the Middle East who had been vomiting since the beginning. Even while he was in the enclosure with the sharks, he couldn't stop vomiting, but everyone was laughing and having a good time about it. (laughs) Thanks to him, the sharks might have gathered around! (laughs)

The waves were strong even inside the enclosure, and I was clinging to the bars the whole time, but it’s definitely an activity worth trying! Just like with any activity, even Japanese people who can't speak English can become very friendly with participants from other countries. ♫ I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

女3人で参加しました♫
他に12名ほどの海外の人が参加されてましたが
私達は事前に酔いどめ薬を飲んでいましたが
船でサメのいるポイントに停まっている間はかなり船が揺れていました。
何人かの人はサメとご対面前に嘔吐されてましたが
酔いやすくなくても念の為酔いどめ薬を飲むことを強くオススメします。
いざ柵の中から潜ってみるとたくさんのサメと出会えます♫
なかなか身近で見れることがないのでテンション上がりますこれ‼
そしてサメの顔もハッキリ見えてかわいらしく見えちゃいます。笑
私達の順番は最後でしたが最初から嘔吐していた中東系ダンディなおじ様と同じグループでサメとご対面中の柵の中でも嘔吐が止まらずみんなそれはそれでいい意味でとても陽気に笑っていました。笑
おかげでサメが集まってくれるかも。笑
柵の中でも波が強くて柵にしがみつきっぱなしでしたがやってみる価値アリのアクティビティです‼
どのアクティビティもそうですが英語が話せない日本人でも他の国の参加者の方ととても仲良くなれます♫
ぜひまたハワイに行くときにはまた参加してみたいです。

I recommend it because sharks are beautiful. Be sure to prepare for restrooms, seasickness, and cold weather. サメは美しいのでお勧め。トイレ・船酔い・寒さ対策を是非。

Reviewed by: にひるなあひる

From Waikiki, it takes about an hour by bus to the port on the west side. The port only has restrooms without doors, and the boat is a 15-person capacity without a restroom, so it's best to change and, if possible, use the restroom beforehand. Towels are not provided, so you need to bring your own. I went on April 12, and it was quite cold. The water temperature was probably around 20-22 degrees Celsius.

Rash guards are available for free rental, but there are only three, and some are short-sleeved, so considering the low water temperature, I think it's better for women and those who get cold easily to bring their own. The water surface can be quite choppy, so it's easy to get seasick while snorkeling and watching the sharks.

The sharks are in deeper water, and since the camera focuses mainly on the lower section of the cage, I recommend that those who are confident in diving grab onto the lower section or the bottom of the cage to quietly observe (as long as you can hold your breath). This way, you’re less likely to get seasick.

The sharks are very calm and beautiful. The water is clear, so to avoid ruining your experience with seasickness, please make sure to take motion sickness medication. I don’t usually get seasick, but I took some just in case, and I didn’t experience any seasickness.

The optional video and photos are $75 per group.

ワイキキからは西側の港で1時間ぐらいバスで移動です。
港には扉の無いトイレしかないし、ボートは15人乗りのトイレなしなので、着替え、出来ればトイレも済ませていった方が良いです。
バスタオルも配布されないので、持っていく必要あります。私が行ったのは4月12日でしたが、けっこう寒かったです。たぶん水温は20~22度ぐらい?
ラッシュは無料でレンタルありますが、3枚だけで半袖のものもあったので、水温が低いことを考えると、女性や寒がりの男性は自前のものがあった方が良いと思います。
水面が結構揺れるので、シュノーケルでサメを見ていると酔いやすいです。

サメも深いところにいるし、カメラも檻の下段を中心に撮っているので、潜るのに自信がある人は、潜って檻の下段や底に掴まって、静かに眺めることができるのでお勧めです(息が続く限りですが)。また、その方が酔わないです。

サメはとてもおとなしく美しいです。水も澄んでいますので、船酔いで台無しにしないように、酔い止めはぜひ飲んでいってください。
私は船酔いしない人ですが、いちおう飲んでいき、船酔いはありませんでした。

Did the same dive with One Ocean last year and was so impressed I had to do this again. This time, the sharks were even more curious as to our presence and came up quite close to us at 4-5 feet distance on some pass bys. Got some incredible 4K video on the footage. Sophie and Kevin were very enthusiastic about their work and Sophie’s passion for researching sharks really shows, giving everyone information about what we saw in he water with specific characteristics and personalities of certain sharks that they frequently see. Thanks again to Sophie and Kevin and see you guys for the 3rd time hopefully soon!

Reviewed by: Jerry Herberger

What could be more exhilarating than interacting with an animal you have been taught all your life to fear? You have guides that take total care of you, from safety briefing to taking pictures of your interaction. This was my second time and the thrill was just as impressive as was the first time. This experience should be the number one activity for any tourist on Oahu. We were with 7 sharks and one barracuda. The speed and agility of sharks must be experienced to be appreciated. Sharks are magnificent animals. Thanks again guys for the ultimate experience.

So many sharks! But I got really seasick. すごいたくさんのサメ!でもすごい酔いました。

Reviewed by: さんかく

The number of sharks is definitely impressive. The experience is thrilling. However, since we went quite far out, I got seasick before we reached the point. Once we arrived, we had to wait our turn to see the sharks in groups, and I got even more nauseous during that time. Being in the cage, exposed to the waves while watching the sharks, made me feel even sicker. On the way back, I could hardly sit up and ended up collapsing on the boat. I had taken motion sickness medication, but it didn’t seem to help with the seasickness. Those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious. Unfortunately, due to my own body’s reaction, the outcome was disappointing, but there were no faults in the tour itself, so I give it 4 stars.

サメの数はまちがいないです。すごい迫力です。
ただしかなり沖まで行くので、ポイントに着くまでに酔いました。
ポイントについたらグループごとに順番に見るため、待っている間にさらに酔いました。
ケージに入って沖の波にさらされながらサメを見てさらに酔いました。
帰りは起き上がることすら困難で船の上で倒れてました。
酔い止めは飲んでいましたが、船酔い海酔いには効かなかったようです…
もともと酔いやすい方は注意が必要です。
自分の体質で残念な結果ですが、ツアー内容としては落ち度はないので☆4つです。
