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

Great Experience

If you’re second guessing whether or not you should do it, DON’T. I’m so glad I didn’t let my fear get in the way of experiencing such an unforgettable moment. I learned a great deal and have found a new appreciation for these apexes predictors.

North Shore Hiking Tours from Haleiwa with Expert Local Guide & Lunch

Great Hike!

Reviewed by: Jen

We had a great hike with our tour guide, Ryan. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was passionate about what he does and made a great day for us. The hike was just challenging enough without being too difficult. The lunch provided was great too. We didn't know what to expect going into this but had a great time and would recommend this to anyone. It's a great way to see a part of the island that we never would have seen otherwise.

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

Great Morning Out

Reviewed by: Rob

Great Morning Out, was the only package on the Island (I checked with tonnes of tour guides out there) that offered Transport to the North Shore and Time in the town up there.
100% recommend, Get out of Waikiki and see the island and some Sharks. We also saw Dolphins and Wales but didn't get a refund for that.

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

Sharks up close and personal

Reviewed by: Sara C

My daughter and I had an amazing time with the crew learning about sharks and observing them in their natural habitat. A MUST DO for everyone. Bring an underwater camera but don't spend your whole time behind the camera or you will miss what is all around you. Listening to the whales singing was an added bonus.

2.5-Hour Haleiwa ATV Tour & Off-Road Small-Group Adventure - Top Rated!

Best ATV tour ever! A Must do!

Reviewed by: Kristin Jones

This ATV tour was none less than amazing! Our tour guide Keoki, was amazing. His level of interest and understanding of the land's history was amazing. He was funny, informative, and very engaged in allowing us to have both a fun and educational experience. I highly recommend this tour. It rained and we were worried it was going to be canceled I am so glad that it was not! It was muddy and fun, and the views were breathtaking.
We took a group of six and it was definitely a VIP experience.
It is a must-do and Family oriented. He brought us a homemade snack and drinks as well. We laughed and laughed at his jokes and fun personality.

One of the most fantastic views, even on a rainy day!

Just a little mud on a rainy day.

Small-Group Swim with Sharks Dive Tour from Haleiwa - Go Adventure Hawaii

Best experience on Oahu!!!

Reviewed by: Nikki J.

Go Adventure Hawaii was one of the best experiences we had on Oahu!! Not only did we see at least 10 sharks and a whale, the staff were some of the greatest people we met! All three guys were super informative, accommodating, made us feel super safe and even gave us a bunch of awesome recommendations for the things to do/eat. Highly recommend these guys for a once in a lifetime experience!! If you get a chance, practice snorkeling in the shallow water before just diving in for the first time like we did! Definitely recommend getting the photo package! Can’t wait to get our back!!

This was after the shark dive and the ride back, we also saw a whale!!

My husband and I had a great time. We had plenty of time in the cage and felt 100% safe. There were dozens of sharks the entire time we spent in the cage. They were so magnificent.This has been on my bucket list for quite some time. There was a huge storm that rolled in and the team was so accommodating to help me move and keep this appointment knowing how much it meant to me. It was an experience I will never forget.

Small-Group Swim with Sharks Dive Tour from Haleiwa - Go Adventure Hawaii

I wouldn’t chose any other charter!!

Reviewed by: Chynna

I ended up going pelagic diving on Christmas Eve, and it was truly one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Sharks are my biggest fear, this was my opportunity to face them. It was comforting for me that the crew gets in the water right along side you.They were very down to earth people, and genuinely create an environment where you feel safe. At a few points I started to slightly freak out as the sharks got uncomfortably close and the crew swam right alongside me and reassured me that I’d be fine, and they would keep them away if they came any closer. I was able to tough out the experience and got out of the water exhilarated, shaking, and completely in awe of what had I had experienced. I am left a memory that I will never forget / take for granted. I would 100% do it again , and I recommend this crew to all of my friends.. I wouldn’t chose any other charter!

2.5-Hour Haleiwa ATV Tour & Off-Road Small-Group Adventure - Top Rated!

AMAZING TIME

Reviewed by: Hunter

My wife and I went on this adventure while in Oahu on our honeymoon. We thought there would be multiple groups on our tour, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out it was only us and our guide. While the views, terrain, history, and overall experience was absolutely incredible, the game changer in this was our guide, Keoki. He was one of the most genuine, friendly, and passionate people that we have ever met. He went as to far as to welcome my wife and I into his Ohana and shared the meaning and importance of the "Aloha Spirit" with us, and truly made us feel welcome on not just the tour, but also on the island.

I cannot recommend this tour, or Keoki as a guide, enough. We had such a wonderful experience and will be back to see them next time we are on Oahu!

Mahola, Keoki! - Hunter

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

We'd do it again!

Reviewed by: Mei and Haleo

We had an outstanding experience! The captain and co-captain were friendly and professional. We arrived at the cage and returned to our destination safely. We were fortunate to see a few sharks. I thought I might get seasick but to my surprise I did not. I think it was because my grandson and I ate a bland meal beforehand and do not drink coffee. Unfortunately, two of the passengers did get sick and went palu in the cage! Auwe! Overall a great experience and we'd do it again.

Beautiful day in Hawai'i nei

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

Do the EARLY morning tour, it's worth waking up early!

Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii

Sharks!! Yes...SHARKS. And yes, you CAN see them from the boat. It's wild to see such majestic creatures in their natural habitat. You go a few miles offshore for this trip so it does get choppy. We did an early morning tour which has calmer ocean conditions than the later tours. And I am so glad we did! We only had a super light breakfast before going out (think a bit of fruit, light bites only).

So close!

It started with a great day, very little wind which made the water very calm. Boat rode out was smooth, and finally arriving to the cage we were immediately greeted with sharks, and not just any sharks but 3 TIGER SHARKS!!. I know that TIGERS are rare for the area but the fact that 3 were there for the entire dive was amazing. The crew were awesome in ensuring that everyone was calm and answered any questions. I definitely recommend and would love to dive again

The crew was wonderful! We saw dolphins on the way out there which was a nice addition to the shark tour. When we got out to the cage we were met by about 8 sharks that stuck around the entire time we were in the cage. When we were about to leave we were able to get back into the cage because a tiger shark had approached so we got a look at her for a bit.
