Oahu: Cage-free Shark Swim On The North Shore

So much fun! The guides know what they’re doing and made us feel perfectly safe. Would totally try it again :)

Such a brilliant experience, we loved every minute. All three guides (sorry, I'm terrible with names) were fantastic, friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. I would recommend this your to everyone.

Great experience and would highly recommend! The crew was awesome and the sharks are incredible creatures. We never felt nervous or anxious the entire time

This was an awesome experience they make you feel super safe we saw several sharks and the team was awesome!

The guys were very friendly and informative. Very dedicated to keeping our group safe and caught amazing footage of the dive

Absolutely stunning. Completely met my expectations and more. The beauty and meaningfulness of this experience will live with me forever and I am grateful beyond measure. How lucky we were to be prepared and guided by a group of lovely, empathetic, passionate, professional individuals who only enhanced the day. Cannot recommend more and I hope you are lucky enough to experience the privilege of being in nature this wild and amazing way.

It was amazing!! Absolute best thing I’ve ever done! Guides were amazing and they give you free pictures!

I did this by myself and it was absolutely amazing. Met 2 other girls also doing it solo and we all felt super safe with the guides. Felt reassuring that it’s a family-run business and they all grew up and are from Hawai’i. They also made sure everyone got a great photo and video of the dive. Felt super safe the whole time and got some great images and experience out of it.

What an amazing experience. The confidence and comfortability of the guides totally puts you at ease and we saw so many sharks! It was definitely a worth while experience that I highly recommend. Will definitely go again the next time I’m on the Island🙌🏾

It was an awesome expedience! They gave clear instruction and made us feel safe. Love having videos and pictures of the dive!

This was a great experience, I'm in town for the week visiting my hometown friend. We decided to go shark diving on a whim and island view luckily had an opening! They were amazing at calming any nerves you may possibly have with how confident they were. We had an amazing time and highly recommend this to anyone even if you just have the idea! Thank you for the experience!!

Wow! What a fantastic experience. Sam and the team were excellent, offering reassurance that put us at ease. We felt completely safe the whole time. We were lucky enough to swim with about 7 Galapagos sharks and a barracuda. We were given amazing complementary videos & photos. I am so glad we chose Island View Hawaii and would 100% recommend them.

I'm scared of boats and had never used a snorkel, but the hosts took great care of us and I had the best time! I'll absolutely do it again next time I'm in O'ahu.

This was one of the top 5 experiences of my life! We swam with the sharks and came out smiling. We were terrified before we dove in, but Babe and crew prepared us for how to behave and what to do so we all had a good time. There were so many sharks! I didn’t feel afraid at all the entire time. They were fantastic instructors. If you are hesitating, don’t!! You won’t regret it. Best money you’ll spend on Oahu.

Fantastic experience! No worries. Worth it! If you have doubts, don't. Family run business and they know what their doing!

Our guides were wonderful and educational. They pointed many things out and made sure safety was the number one priority. I really appreciate they included photos in the price of the tour too. I would only be cautious to do this again if you’re prone to motion sickness (nothing the tour company could do about this)!

We had an amazing time! The staff was very kind and made us feel really comfortable. We saw SO MANY sharks and a barracuda. Would definitely do it again next time we’re back. The staff also took amazing pictures and videos that were complimentary. Highly recommend this activity/staff!

Our tour guides were amazing here as well !! Made sure we knew what to do and made us feel so comfortable/safe diving right in with sharks !

This was the most BREATHTAKING experience of my life! I have a fear of sharks and figured what better way to get over it. Even with fins at the surface the gentlemen who went in with us made us feel so safe. 10/10 will do again but only here!

Expect the unexpected but in a good way. So many sharks, the family run crew were sensational and at no point did we feel unsafe, they are so professional from the beginning to the end. It is a bucket list experience I will be Raving about forever! Those magnificent creatures up close are truely remarkable, so majestic and curious! If you have ever considered shark swimming, do it with this company, they are amazing. The photos and videos were astounding and the crew were brilliant at capturing us, a truely magical keepsake! One thing to think about , I was a little sea sick so take a tab before you go! My Aussie friends can’t believe I did it, I’m just over the moon!🫶

Absolute amazing experience, the crew was nice and funny. The crew was patient with those nervous to enter the water, and helpful to those that could not swim, all while being supportive to those confident in their abilities snorkeling in the open ocean. 10/10 the pictures/ videos where great.

The experience was truly amazing, there were a lot of sharks to see. Tour guides were very helpful and communicative throughout the whole experience. Felt safe the whole time. Very friendly environment. Well worth the money for the trip. The length of the trip was perfect, just enough time to have a great experience, especially since we travel with a smaller group, made the experience that much better.

It was a great experience! Got to swim with the sharks. The guides were awesome too! Definitely a must do!

We had an incredible time. The guides were amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable . We saw sharks so close up, it was incredible. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

I did 2 trips with this company as a solo female traveller. The guys doing the tour were super nice, respectful & funny. The first day we saw a tiger shark!! The second day we saw a ton of galapagos sharks & got some cool footage of it. I highly recommend this family run business. It was an unreal experience and im so lucky I got to experience it twice!

Awesome experience! The guides on the boat did a great job of making us feel safe, and had great vibes throughout the trip. They took videos as part of the package - 10/10 would highly recommend this!

Great shark dive experience. The boat was clean, the crew was amazing and we felt safe the whole time being in the water

We had such an amazing time! The whole crew made you feel so comfortable and reassured that we were safe. We saw quite a few Galapagos sharks and to our surprise two very large tiger sharks paid us a visit too! It was an experience we will never forget!!!

This was the coolest thing we’ve ever done. We could not have asked for a better crew to be with! They treated us like locals and made us feel so comfortable. It’s a family business and they’ve been doing it for years and knew exactly what to look for and how to make this experience safe. 10/10 just incredible

Had an absolute amazing experience. The crew was knowledgeable and did a great job of guiding the experience. Already want to comeback in a year when some of the bigger aquatic life is more active. Felt safe the entire time as well. Due want to mention being comfortable in the water to a basic capacity will enhance the experience. If you don’t feel you can tread water efficiently then they do have floats you can hold onto. Cant stress enough how unique of an experience this was. The photos/ videos at the end are also a huge plus.

Park in the back parking lot and maybe wear more covered clothes because I got stung. Awesome nonetheless! Ocean is so peaceful

Great experience with my 8 years old, tons of fun and great photos. Will definitely do that again in the future. Highly recommend this to all.

Incredible experience. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to get a little adventurous on their vacation. Worth every penny.

Best activity we did in Hawaii. The crew was awesome and we felt comfortable with them. On our trip we got to swim with a Whale Shark, pretty rare for that to happen they told us. If you do decide to go shark diving go free diving with them, don’t do the cage! 15min ride out and a generous amount of time in the water.

Seen many sharks great trip, friendly staff right from the get go who are highly knowledgeable , great time highly recommend

This tour was awesome! The guides were very professional, kind, and knowledgeable. They also took incredible photos and videos. It was about a 15-minute boat ride out to the dive site, and then we spent around 30 minutes snorkeling with the sharks. Absolutely book this tour!

1000% worth it! We had so much fun! It was a perfect day to do it as well! We will definitely do it again!

Was an excellent experience. For someone with a young family the expert guides put us at ease and the dive was fantastic. These guys know what their doing and respect nature and was just an unforgettable trip- thanks guys, would go again in a heart beat.

Absolutely fantastic. Guides were great and we saw multiple Tiger sharks, Galapogos shark , and barracuda. The group was small so we were not crowded in the water. My kids loved it. It was much better than I had hoped for and was a highlight of my family's trip to Hawaii.

I normally don’t write reviews but I just had to for this one. This was hands down the best experience of my life and if you’re on the fence about doing it I 10000% recommend. The staff was very friendly and informative. We saw a group of tiger sharks before we even got in the water and jumped right in. The most surreal experience I’ll ever have and I’ve never felt safer. The safety divers did an absolute wonderful job and all around this was a 10/10 experience. Don’t skip out on this.

It’s fun and worth the spending. the staff is very helpful and friendly. You do need to know how to swim especially if the waves are high.

Worth every penny!! 🦈🦈🦈🦈

Excellent trip! Well organized with a great team on the boat. Saw a tiger shark close up which was amazing!

This is a must do, this experience is more than fun it’s a terrific exercise in courage, decisiveness, faith and composure. I am really glad I was talked in to it.

What an incredible experience. Being so close to these beautiful creatures was really a bucket list opportunity. I was so excited get a chance to free dive and get some great pictures with the mano. Guides were friendly and very helpful made for an overall comfortable experience. A few caveats are you get about 30-40 minutes to surface view the wildlife and a couple opportunities to free dive to take pictures with the sharks. The sharks are usually galapogas and other species are quite rare so don't go expecting to see hammerheads, tigers, white tip etc.

the guides were so kind and so knowledgeable. I felt very safe in the water and would 10/10 recommend this excursion. I felt that we spent a long time in the water with the sharks.

Surreal experience ! I came with my brother and it’s something we will Remember forever!

This experience was amazing! The guides were fantastic with everyone. We ended up with about 20 Galapagos sharks around us and a couple of barracuda. After the trip they provided us with a ton of photos and videos of our trip for free! I would definitely recommend this!
