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

Tons of sharks swimming super close to the cage, schools of fish swimming below the cage, whale songs under water, dolphins and whales in the distance, what a fabulous experience! I cannot wait to come back and do it again!

Never thought I would do anything like this but the next thing I knew I was on the boat heading out and I couldn't recommend it more! My fiancé and I had an amazing time! The guys on the boat told us everything we needed to know to be safe when getting in and out of the cage etc and made it an enjoyable experience not a scary one! I will be highly recommending this to anyone I know heading to Hawaii from now on :)

Enjoyed the whole experience, everyone was friendly, informative and I never felt unsafe. The day we were there, there were about four sharks hanging out and coming right up to the cage!
