Highly Experienced Crew

I booked this as a spontaneous adventure for my parents and siblings first time visiting Oahu. None of us are super outdoorsy people (I don’t even know how to swim) but we had a blast with this experience. The crew was fun, funny, knowledgeable and helpful. There was a lot of nervousness and anxiety with an experience like this but I felt at ease with them with their experience at sea and knowledge of the sharks we encountered. I loved that they loved what they do. I loved that we all shared the same respect and awe for the sharks.

We were fortunate enough to see 2 tiger sharks and dolphins on the way back!! Even my mom who was brought along as just an observer had an incredible experience on the boat ride and took some awesome pics! I wish I had prior experience working with snorkeling gear and learning breathing techniques to stay down longer to spend more time seeing the beautiful tiger sharks we saw. Next time, because there for sure will be, I’ll be ready to handle the currents, my breathing techniques, and will bring my own GoPro! Can’t wait for next time! Thank you to the amazing Hawaii Shark Encounters crew!

Safe and Exciting

Today me and my husband take part in shark encounter. You have to try it! Actually we thought we’ll get more adrenalin, but it turned out it’s really safe and exciting trip. Like a “bonus” we saw wales and dolphins, and crew of the boat told a lot interesting facts about sharks that we didn’t know. For sure you have to take go pro with you and a camera just in case you’ll see whales.

Doesn’t Require Any Diving Skills

Beautiful calm day, lot of fun and the staff was great. I’ve dived with sharks before in open ocean so this was a little tame in cage. But nice to see Galapagos sharks. Everyone had a good time as one doesn’t have to be a diver.
