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 water was really rough but I wanted to go so bad I didn't care. It makes me want to go back and do it again in, waters. Absolutely loved it
What a great time. I felt safe, the guides Rich and Darrin were wonderful. If you want to see lots of sharks in their natural habitat (maybe a whale or two) and learn a lot from great guides this is it. Highly recommend!!!!
It was fantastic. We had a great ride out to the cage. Sharks were visible in the water as soon as we arrived. It was windy & the cage bounced around quite a bit in the water but we saw a lot of sharks. Tried to do this 4 years ago but they cancelled on us twice due to weather. I completely understand now why that happened. Any windier this time & it may have been cancelled. The crew was super friendly & informative. Highly recommend to anyone up for a great adventure.
Amazing Experience!
My daughter and I had an amazing experience. We were cancelled and rescheduled and I can't imagine the conditions for the day we were supposed to go. I live in one of the oldest seaports on the east coast(north of Boston) and I have never been out on the ocean when it was this rough. I did enjoy the ride out and the whole encounter. The education about the Sharks was informative. If it's something you're considering....DON'T HESITATE!!!! It is amazing!
Went out on the 7am trip this morning and it was amazing! I was apprehensive at 1st but once I got in the cage I felt safe. When I saw the sharks I couldn't believe we were so close to them and how beautiful they were. Would definitely recommend this trip. Thanks guys it was awesome.
Tour guides were awesome and I had fun. I felt really safe the whole time
Had a great time swimming with the sharks. Mahalo cuz!!
This is a must-do if you're in the Haleiwa area! Tour guides are friendly and knowledgeable. Got to see a galapagos shark and barracuda on the first trip of the day (7:00 AM). We enjoyed it so much that we're going to bring our kids next time. Don't miss out on this experience! Watch for groupons - we saved $20 per ticket.
