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

My family and I shared this experience on 8/21. It was absolutely amazing and the crew was fantastic. They made us feel safe in and outside of the cage. The cage was big enough for six people which was nice because we all went together. The waters were a bit choppy because of the incoming storm but that did not stop us nor the sharks form showing up. We would have preferred to have had a scuba tank hooked up to the cage and regulators over snorkels; however it was still great. Highly recommend Hawaii Shark Encounters to... read more

We had so much fun when we visited in 2016! I can definitely not wait to go back! One of the best experiences ever!!!! �
Guides were kind and informative and it was a great life experience. The sharks were beautiful.
This was a great experience. My kids and I loved it. I have always had an interest in sharks that I have passed to my children, and this enhanced all of our interest. They do a great job of education about these beautiful misunderstood creatures. This is a must do.
My husband, 2 kids and I went for the first time and had an awesome time. I admit it was scary at first. I almost didn't go in but decided if the rest of my family was going I had better go or I'd never here the end of it. What an experience it was! Real sharks swimming right outside the cage from you. I was the last one in and the last one out. I didn't want to leave them!
Best thing we did while in Oahu! Can’t wait to do it again! Guides were great and very knowledgeable.
