About this business

RecreationTours

Hawaii Shark Encounters gives you the opportunity to experience the thrill of meeting sharks face to face in the pristine waters of Oahu. We take you three miles offshore, where you can observe Galapagos and Sandbar sharks in their natural environment from the safety of a floating cage. No scuba experience is necessary -- you enter the cage from above and stay on the surface using a mask and snorkel. Large polyglass windows let you peer into the open ocean and watch the sharks as they glide gracefully through the deep blue. ... read more

Lucky outing for me. 3 tiger sharks, 2 Galapagos reef sharks and a couple of tuna. One of the tiger sharks got so close to the cage that I was able to pet it! 

Business response:

It's always an extra thrill when the Tiger Sharks come by to say hello, and we're so glad you got to have this experience, Mike. Thanks for sharing your story -- we can't wait to see you again! -Aloha! -Hawaii Shark Encounters
