About this business
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

RecommendedThe captain was amazing and the tour guide was fantastic as well! The boat was quick and warm and breathtaking, seeing the sharks is something I will never forget. We got to see Galapagos sharks and a tiger. 😊💛
It was amazing! If you want pics or video, make sure you have something you can use hands-free. Go early, sometimes later trips cancel. Very much worth it!

Great experience! Sharks were very close. We were safe in the cage. The crew was awesome, knowledgeable, and even understanding when I got seasick. They obviously have a lot of experience. Highly recommended!!!

This was a fantastic experience. I was extremely nervous at first but it is something that everyone should definitely do at least once. Miles and Travis were awesome! They were very nice guys, knowledgeable and passionate about the sharks. If my family and I are ever able to do this a second time, I’d hope to get them as our guides again 🤘🏻

Life changing experience! We were nervous at the beginning but once we got into the water we did not want to get out. These creatures are beautiful and majestic! I loved how we learned so much about sharks and in particular their radically reduced population. We must do more to protect these amazing sharks!
