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

Kayaking

Reviewed by: Jennifer

The whole experience was just amazing! My son and I had pretty much a private tour. Just the two of us and our guide! Our guide went way above and beyond telling us history of Hawaii and just making our experience super special. Our favorite was how relaxing and peaceful kayaking though the river was. And seeing the sea turtle was breath taking! Kayaking on the ocean was so beautiful! Two total different experience in one adventure! Can't wait to come back and do it again!

Thank you Jennifer for such a great review. We are so happy that you both enjoy your Kayak tour. Hope to see you guy again real soon.

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

Amazing Shark experience!!!

Reviewed by: James Atwood

This was such a great experience for my son and I. The crew was super awesome, very safe and knowledgeable about the area and types of sharks. Loved that they took video and pictures using there own equipment so we didn’t have to worry about bringing our own equipment.

I am so happy that we did this!!!! At the end of this amazing experience, we got to see a whale since it’s what season right now

Hands down, best freaking company to go shark diving with!!!! Got to see so many sharks and it was truly an amazing experience.

Looking forward to doing it again when I visit!!!!

Secrets of North Shore Off-Road Expedition Tour with Freshwater Pool Swim

Best Experience on the Island

Reviewed by: M Garcia

This was our top experience we had on the island. The tour was beyond fun, like Indiana Jones in real life. The info our guide had on the flora and fauna was amazing. Seeing the farmland and the plants were amazing and it was great to get some history and culture along with it. We got stuck in the mud but had a great time regardless. Just really helped to give us a full experience. Highly recommend for any who wants to go a little off roading and see some great views.

Very happy with the entire experience. Ryan was awesome to have as a guide. Would definitely do it again. Hike was super fun and informative, and the river crossings and swimming hole at the end of the first half was great. Nothing but great things to say!. Thanks Ryan for the awesome day and super chill time today. Can't wait until the camping experience is up and running so I can take another trip out here and sign right up!

Crew was great, saw two sharks but it was a great experience.

Reviewed by: Joey S

Careless shark diving was a great experience.
No GoPros allowed on this trip but they take photos for you and some videos.
We saw two sharks on this trip and sandbar and a Galapagos but they were very active and would come very close, but you can also see them 80 yards down, because the water is clear.
The last 10 minutes you are somewhat free to dive down and swim with them.

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!

Don't come to Oahu and not experience this adventure!!! It's worth the entire visit

Reviewed by: Jacquelyn

Amazing experience with these spectacular creatures that don't get the credit they deserve. This tour was definitely an eye opener and will give participants a far better and more educated perspective about not only the shark population but several others as well. Thank you IslandView Inc and the 3 guides who made the experience far more sensational than I suppose I was expecting.
The lead guys name was Sam but unfortunately, I don't recall the other two who were out in the water with us and taking photos. They absolutely made this adventure outstanding for us all!! You guys are awesome. I'll be back!!!

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.

Reviewed by: Kahla

This tour was amazing! The crew and captain was very knowledgeable, extremely nice and friendly, and funny. The Captain did all he could do to attract the sharks for us and the safety divers made sure we felt safe in the water and had everything we needed. It was a little choppy, but that part was out of their control, so I'm good with it! Overall, 10 out of 10!!
