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

The best experience we’ve ever had. This MADE our Hawaii vacation. If you’re nervous, don’t be-the guides were amazing and made sure everyone felt comfortable. They were very knowledgeable about the sharks, ocean life, and the island. We saw jelly fish, sharks, and a barracuda! Cannot thank them enough for the experience. We will definitely use them again when we come back. 

Business response:

Amanda, it's a pleasure to hear how we could make your Hawaii vacation! Like you said, don't be nervous. Our guides will always go above and beyond to ensure you're comfortable with everything you're about to do. Also, we're happy to hear how you loved seeing all the sharks and ocean life. You're always welcome back here, so be sure to visit us again whenever you're in the area. -Aloha! -Hawaii Shark Encounters
