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

My brother, nephew and I went out last Tuesday (Feb 5), and had an incredible time. The 3-man crew (sorry, dudes, missed your names!) were fantastic and made us feel entirely at ease the whole time. The sharks were absolutely breathtaking to watch, and I would do this again in a heartbeat. Thanks Hawaii Shark Encounters! I definitely recommend this for a memorable Hawaiian holiday. 

Business response:

We're so excited to know hat you all had such an awesome time, Kyle, and thanks for sharing your story with others. Knowing hat both the crew and the sharks made a great impression means a lot, and here's to hopefully having you all back again soon for another amazing adventure! -Aloha! -Hawaii Shark Encounters

Hands down the greatest experience of my life! Enjoyed every second of the trip. I have always loved sharks, but this has really grown that love so much more. Got to see plenty of Galapagos sharks and learned a bit about them. Definitely go if you get the chance! Darren and Miles were awesome, and I cannot wait to go again next time Im in Hawaii! Mahalo nui!
