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

Absolutely amazing!!! Favorite part of my Oahu trip for sure! My 9 year old had the best time ever. Got to see a 14 foot tiger shark & many more. The guys were so awesome, can’t wait to come back & do it again!

The best no doubt I have done other shark cage tours in Oahu and never saw 1 tiger shark we saw Galapagos sharks but no tiger shark , they say it’s rare and if your lucky you might get to see 1 tiger but on my trip we were able to see not 1 but 4 huge Tiger Sharks massive , the tour guy said 16 or 17 feet huge…. 5 stars ⭐️ plus no doubt.
Business response:
Jairo, we're honored to be your best! It is rare to see a tiger shark swimming around, so you're very lucky to have seen four swimming around! If you'd like to head back out on the waters, be sure to book with us again! -Aloha! -Hawaii Shark Encounters
We loved our shark experience!! It’s been a bucket list item for years for our family. After our first tour was cancelled for weather a few years ago, we had the chance for a redo this week! We loved it so much we almost booked a second time, but ran out of free time. Can’t wait for our next visit to Hawaii to do it all over again!
Business response:
Amanda, happy to hear how you loved the experience with us! Glad you could check off swimming with sharks off your bucket list. If you're looking to book again, you're more than welcome to do so when you come back in the future! -Aloha! -Hawaii Shark Encounters
Highly recommend!!! We had a wonderful adventure and will have memories forever.

Thanks for your recommendation! Hoping we'll see you again whenever you're around. -Aloha! -Hawaii Shark Encounters
This is a super late review but my boyfriend and I went with the crew August 2021 for my birthday. I was scared at first but the experience was phenomenal. It was too good to believe that I was so close to Galapagos sharks. We were well instructed and taken care of the entire time. Thank you team! Hope to see you again soon!
Business response:
Connie, there's really nothing like being face to face with a shark! It sounds like you had a great time with us last year. We hope you return for another tour in the future. -Aloha! -Hawaii Shark Encounters
