Unique experience
Reviewed by: John, 2008/12/20A chance to do something like this comes along very infrequently, so take advantage. This is cool, even if you don't go in the cage, to see a dozen or more sharks swimming around the boat is awesome.
ps take motion sickness pills

You must take this tour!!
Reviewed by: Hawaii Lover!, 2008/12/14This tour was awesome! It was a moment of a lifetime!
I get very sea sick so I made sure to prepare which was a VERY good idea. I took meclazine the day before and then that morning about an hour before leaving. I took the first tour which is the calmest and clearest time. It definitly paid off because we had three people that were turning green on the boat.
Finding sharks was no problem. They came right up to the boat HUNGRY!! When it was your turn to get in it was amazing! It was scarier to see them above the water than when you got in. The water was so amazingly blue! The sharks were so gracefull and you didn't see any of the scariness you do from outside of the water.
I just wish that my expensive underwater camera worked!! None of my pictures turned out! I still have the moment and picture in my mind forever but I wanted to share it with others.
Do not miss this tour!! No mater how nervous you are if you event want to do this a little you should not

Experience worth every single penny
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/12/12I went alone...but it was all the worth while! I highly recommend this experience...and it is an experience. They have two sides of plexiglass on the cage and when your in the water it feels like you are swimming right next to them! All the excitement and enjoyment of swimming with sharks! Spend the money, take the time, do whatever you need to do to fit this in! And the location outside of the tourist traps was also a plus!

Highly recommend:Read my tips
Reviewed by: LizFerguson, 2008/11/13We were surprised how many sharks we actually saw on this tour!! The staff was very friendly and informative. For those who (like me) do not like scuba diving, this activity only requires snorkeling. Just a tip: If you get any bit seasick, I would not recommend this for you unless you take a high dose of anti-motion sickness medicine before going. Both my husband and I got seasick and lost our lunch while doing the tour. Keep in mind, you are on North Shore with all the big waves and will be on a small boat getting tossed around for at least 2 hours. Overall a great adventure and highly recommended!

Reviewed by: Ed,Jen & Amanda, 2008/10/06We felt very safe & that was our number one issue. Staff was outstanding, we are going again in a few days. We will be telling all our friends what a great time we spent with the sharks.

Outstanding! ~ Don't go hungover
Reviewed by: Sadiej, 2008/07/26This activity is exceptional & absolutely delivers!
As a group of three we boarded the North Shore boat in various stages of hangover from an international conference. One mate was viciously seasick, another repeatedly seasick and I was moderately seasick (only had to hang my head over the boat once). It is a testament to this excursion that although we all felt absolutely awful we thought it was AMAZING and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Do not pass up the opportunity to see these incredible animals in crystal clear deep waters. Be sure to have something for motion sickness as it is a bumpy ride on the boat and in the cage.

Sharks in June
Reviewed by: Malcolm Fawcett, 2008/07/02This was a great trip and exceeded our expectations. Seeing sharks circling up from the deep to come and feed in close attendence with Trumpetfish and a random Tuna was a sight I will never forget. The water was so blue and clear that it was like watching on film. If there is one thing that you do when you go to Hawaii then this should be it. With the correct balance between ecology, safety and fun this must be the best activity by a mile and it still leaves time for surfing in the afternoon! Brilliant.

Reviewed by: Louise & Melanie, 2008/06/03A really proffesional activity, the staff were friendly and attentive, funny and informative.
We started the day being scared of sharks and ended up wanting to pat them! Probably not a good idea though as they have big teeth!

Sharks!!
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/05/03The Shark Adventure was loads of fun! The only complaint we had was the rough condition of the sea... that's just the way it goes! Be aware that you will get tossed about inside the cage if the seas are rough, and be sure to take Dramamine.

Awesome Shark Adventure
Reviewed by: Sandy, 2008/03/11This was an awesome experience. You can't get any closer than this to live sharkes in the oceans. I could have reached out and touch them - but highly discouraged to do so.
This is an awesome experience and a great way to view sharks in thier own natural environment. Very graceful and peaceful to watch.

FanFreakinTastic!!!
Reviewed by: Len Langevin, 2008/01/16This was by far the best adventure I've ever been on and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, which is very different from most touristy things I've done in Hawaii where once is enough.
The crew was great, the sharks were plentiful and the gear provided was excellent. Don't forget to bring your camera because you will want to capture every moment out there. If you don't have an underwater camera, you can buy one from the crew.

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2007/11/27I could not go in the cage as the mask interfered with my dentures but as it was my grandaughter's birthday gift...it was fun to watch her and I could see lots of sharks from the boat (even though it was very rough water).

Fantastic Experience!!
Reviewed by: Amanda & Allan, 2007/11/21This was a great adventure! Being in the cage is extremely rough, and you have to hold on to avoid getting thrown around by the huge waves, but this is a small problem! There must have been at least 15-20 sharks (Galapagos and sandbar sharks) swimming all around, and rubbing on the cage! I would recommend this activity to anyone who can handle a rough ocean. It was one of the best things we did in Hawaii!! Take anti-nausea pills, as the waves are huge, and the boat rocks hard (even for those who don't think they get seasick).

FUN!!!!! FUN !!!! FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reviewed by: The Bradys, 2007/08/17This was are favorite activity. You are taken out 3 miles from the shore in 400+ ft of water and put in a cage while chum is thrown from the boat. Then its a shark fest. We seen about 20+ Galapagos sharks. Bring a waterproof camera to capture the excitement. It was really difficult for us to get pictures because the water was so choppy, but out of 27 pictures we got 20 great pictures.

Dive
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2007/05/13The dive was awesome. We had to reschedule due to bad weather, but I didn't mind because I appreciated the captain canceling the trip instead of taking me out for a bad trip. The experience was great, it made my time in Hawaii totally worth it. I would recommend this trip and this group to everyone. It's the best trip you can go on in the islands.
