What an incredible experience - both Justin and Nick made this an excursion to always remember. I was a little nervous but they were very accommodating and made me comfortable. If you are thinking about this, don't let this opportunity pass you by. We saw 9 sharks in total. You could get up so close to see their eyes change. Felt very safe and enjoyed every minute!

Itinerary
Experience the excitement of coming face-to-face with sharks in the crystal-clear waters off Oahu’s famous North Shore. This 2-hour shark cage diving experience offers an educational and unforgettable encounter with Hawaii’s majestic Galapagos and Sandbar sharks in their natural environment. After a short boat ride offshore, you’ll spend about 20 to 30 minutes in the water, observing these remarkable marine predators from the safety of a secure floating cage. Equipped with a mask and snorkel, you’ll stay comfortably at the surface while watching the sharks glide effortlessly through the deep blue below you. No scuba experience is required, making this the perfect experience for both thrill-seekers and ocean lovers looking to connect with Hawaii’s vibrant marine life.

Best experience of my life! Not scary at all. Now I want to try it without a cage. We saw so many sharks! It was incredible.
10/10 amazing friendly, funny and knowledgeable crew. Tons of sharks to watch and great boat ride out! Would recommend to anyone that they do this tour.
This was an amazing experience! We saw LOTS of sharks and they came right up to the cage! The staff were super helpful and knew their stuff. They made the trip great, despite pretty rough seas the day we went.
Awesome experience. 20 sharks swimming all around us in crystal water. Reece and Kai were great hosts
The guides were determined to find us some sharks, and after a few tries we had 5 sharks! I was impressed with their commitment to deliver!
We had a great time. The captain and shipmate were great! I feel like it was the right amount of time spent in the water to enjoy the time we were allowed.
Amazing views of the sharks from both on the boat and in the cage! This was my dream bucket list thing to do. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend using this company!
This was an incredible experience! I felt safe, yet got a huge thrill out of the sharks being so close! We saw around 9! Effen and Nick made the trip enjoyable and fun!
We learned a lot about the sharks. The instructors were very informative and helped us get the best experience. We saw lots of sharks and definitely fulfilled our expectations..
Great experience- took a while for sharks to show up
Make sure to show up early! Our tickets didn’t note to check in 30 minutes early so we almost missed the boat. The team was kind enough to wait for us to jump on. It is a little choppy out in the box but VERY cool to be so close. You can also watch them swim off the sides of the boat while waiting. We definitely felt it was the highlight of the week.
This is such a great experience. I went with my husband and our three children. Everybody had a great time. One of our kids was nervous to get into the water and ended up going in All on their own. The guides really helped them be confident about seeing the sharks.
Great experience! Would do this every time I’m in Oahu ! Learned a lot about sharks and I feel comfortable with them. Great adventure!
Great experience, crew was awesome and helpful. Equipment was great. You will get wet in the boat ….
The experience was great! It was definitely worth it. But the $140…I don’t know if it should have been that high.
We were able to see so many sharks, including a tiger shark! Our guides were knowledgeable and shared several fun facts with us.
Had such a great experience! Would do it again and the crew was great! Beautiful views as well! Worth it
Awesome, well worth the money!! First of all hurricane impacted trip, but it was super easy to postpone the trip to a calmer day. Once booked it was easy from there! Got on the boat traveled 20 min to deeper water and instantly sharks appeared! Huge reef sharks and a barracuda! 6 in the cage at a time seemed like a lot but once in the moment you barely notice! The sharks were swimming right up to us but you never feel unsafe! The guides/captains were chill, informative, and kind! FYI, some passengers got motion sick, I don’t get motion sick easy and I was fine. But I’d recommend planning medicine/patch if you would be worried about that. 100% worth it! An experience we will never forget! One more perfect experience in Oahu!
Great staff . Great experience !!! It was a great experience . Exhilarating. The time in the water was just right !! Staff very friendly
Our tour guides where really cool and knowledgeable. On the ride out there was some wind and waves nothing too bad. Just not a bad idea to take nausea medication before hand !! Lots of sharks and it was amazing. In the cage you need to really hold on the the bar so you dont get hit against the cage.
This was a lot of fun. It was worth the cost. Recommended to go early in the morning before winds pick up.
LOVED super sick! Saw a ton of sharks and felt like the perfect amount of time
It’s was a great experience highly recommend , the captains were very thorough with explaining everything
The guides were friendly, knowledge, and made us feel felt safe. There were lots of sharks and LARGE ones. Highly recommend it. Very worth it.
The trip was awesome! It was completely safe and the operation runs so smooth! The guys running the boat were professional, knowledgeable, and fun! Plan ahead if you get sea sick easily, then pack breath mints for the boat, and take meclizine or Dramamine an hr before the boat departure. The experience was amazing and I could not have been more happy with it! We loved it so well l, we went twice!!!
It's an awesome experience. We saw lots of gallapeo sharks even a tiger shark. Adam and Nick we great.
Amazing experience, we were able to see 2 Galapagos and 1 tiger. Also we shared cage with just 2 more people which made it very convenient and easy to take pictures. You feel save the whole time and would recommend to take the earliest hour
The experience was amazing! I would say definitely go on a calmer day if you are prone to motion sickness as the boat is smaller and I was fighting for my life lol. The boat ride to the cage was honestly super fun as well, the experience as a whole was like no other. I was basically face-to-face with a 6 to 8ft shark as well as a huge baracuda. Very very cool and so worth it.
100/10 experience. Crew members were amazing and showed us every little step to the detail. Must try
One of the highlights of my trip! We saw several sharks and they got really close. The guides were very friendly and helpful!
Best thing ever seen loads of sharks, cre were very knowledgeable and happy to assist with anything.
Guides were exceptional. Very easy to work with and answered all questions asked. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
I wish there was an option for more than 5 stars. This was nothing short of amazing, one that the family will never forget. The crew were fantastic and we had ample time in the cage to really soak it all in. There were plenty of sharks to see including a couple of tiger sharks! There is a nice local shopping area close by for some retail therapy before and / or after too!
We had a wonderful experience I was afraid, but they put my mind at ease and I ended up having a great time. 10 out of 10 recommend!!
Terrible service. They cancelled the shark dive tour literally 5 minutes before the actual tour was meant to start. And they had already cancelled it a few days before with enough time to be able to re-book. Why didn’t they do the same the 2nd time?
Amazing trip! Seeing the sharks up close was once in a life time experience. Well worth the money. The staff were knowledgeable & friendly. I rented the go pro which was definitely worth it as I didn't come prepared. We were meant to be 11am, however recieved an email in advance to warn us of weather conditions, so moved to an earlier time, good communication. Would 100% recommend.
Great crew, the hosts were very knowledgeable and attentive to all parties aboard. The sharks were amazing and huge!!
What an incredible experience! The entire cage shark diving tour was exciting, well organized, and unforgettable. The highlight was seeing an incredible 12-foot tiger shark up close—absolutely amazing! The crew was great and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a must-do experience in Hawaii. Highly recommended!
Overall greatest experience I've had on Island. We had great weather and got to see some tiger sharks that day!!
This was one of my daughter's excursion wish items. So glad we did it. Although my other daughter's fear made her hesitate, she was willing to give it a go because of the cage & plex glass. Both were thrilled with the outing. We moved our original disembark time at Shark Adventure's recommendation dure to higher wind forecasts & I think we lucked out with amazing conditions and time in the water with tiger & galopagos sharks!
Great experience!! Saw multiple hugeee tiger sharks. Definitely recommend it. My girlfriend also loved it.
The trip was an awesome experience. Not a lot of sharks on the day I went but that’s just how these things go. We did have 2 nice tiger sharks that hung around the entire trip. Very cool experience. The crew were amazing. Both guys were very knowledgeable and gave us a great trip. I would recommend anyone to book with these guys. They’re great.
It was an experience of a lifetime. We got to see three tiger sharks, a smaller Galapagos shark, and barracuda. Capt Miles and Josh were great from start to finish. They made it super comfortable for everyone and positive vibes the entire time.
10/10 recommend. Hunter and Jax took us out. They were so nice and informative!
Super safe and fun for kids, teens, adults and grandparents. The hosts were great! One tip is the earlier the better for less waves and an easier ride.
Such a cool experience. i was mildly apprehensive but once you get in it is not scary at all. It was very cool to be that close to the sharks. The group that jumped in after me saw a tiger shark. I missed that but saw several Galapagos sharks. I would do this again for sure. Very fun and the guides were sweet and funny young men who grew up on Kauai.
We had a great time! Guides were awesome! Saw plenty of sharks, including two large Tiger sharks! One of the best things we did on our trip to Oahu!
Was super fun and everyone was very nice! They made us feel safe and helped us be comfortable every step of the way!
My 16 year old daughter and I had the best experience ever! The crew was very helpful and friendly. We saw three 14 foot long tiger sharks! It was amazing! I highly recommend this excursion!
