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 son and I had a great time. Staff was excellent. Boat trip out was totally fine. Seeing the sharks up close was one of the highlights of our trip.

Way cool. Helpful guides who will help you with any question. Bring water, towel, underwater camera, swimsuit, and skills to snorkel. Guides have a cool personality who will talk about conservation of these awesome sharks.

These guys absolutely deliver an amazing shark experience. Very informative and fun trip with, of course, lots of sharks! The emphasis is on shark conservation and education, but they didn't take themselves too seriously and made sure everyone on board had a blast! The best part, though, may have been our driver, Rex. He picked us up very close to our hotel and since we were ahead of schedule, stopped at Leonard's so we could pick up some breakfast.

What a fabulous day. It was one of the highlights of my Hawaiian holiday. Perfect weather and not at all scary! The sharks came so close you felt you could almost pet them!! But then you realised they could turn on a dime!! The captain was fab, sorry I've forgotten your name! He was sympathetic to my poor sea sick husband but we all appreciated that it brought a wide variety of different species of fish to the surface! We even saw a barracuda! I couldn't recommend this trip or operators more. Do it if you have the chance.
