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

RecommendedMy wife and I spent a week in O'ahu doing a variety of activities and swimming with sharks was the most memorable of them all. It was a perfect day on the water and the captain and crewman were extremely knowledgeable about all of the sea life we encountered. We saw many sharks, whales and felt safe throughout - thank you!

We're so excited to see that you and your wife had such a perfect adventure, Evan, and it's an honor that we could help give you both such exciting and lasting memories. Here's to hopefully doing it all over again someday! -Aloha! -Hawaii Shark Encounters
Do you have to do this if you come to Hawaii.!!!
An amazing experience. This was our second time going out in the shark cage with Hawaii Shark Encounters. This time we took our nine-year-old son and it was incredible. The captains are knowledgeable and friendly. They took the time to explain about the different sharks, and had our safety in mind the entire time. We saw a tiger shark and several Galapagos sharks, tropical fish and spinner dolphins! It was a great time! You should do it!
Business response:
Thanks for everything, Gina. It means the world that we could have you out again for a second adventure, and we're glad this time around had a Tiger Shark and other fun surprises. Here's hoping that we get to have you back for a third experience sometime soon! -Aloha! -Hawaii Shark Encounters
Guides were hospitable, helpful, and shared their passion for the locale and the importance of conservation. Boat ride was easy and pleasant. Had lots of time in the cage with TONS of beautiful Galapagos Sharks giving us so much playful attention. Once in a lifetime experience!

I had an amazing time! Would 100% reccomend this again. My sister dropped me off and later after showing her the GoPro footage she regrets not going. (Dont be cheap rent the GoPro you will be happy you did, footage and audio so clear and captivating!). I learned so much from the knowledgeable crew. I took dramamine about 45 minutes prior to boarding and I am glad I did, since I neve been on a boat before. I seriously reccomend this amazing opportunity. Side note the ride to and from the harbor was beautiful, they played musi... read more

This was the best 10th Birthday gift for my son! We had a blast and can’t wait to do it again! Thanks for the memories and for helping us celebrate!
we went on a caged shark dive with these guys. They were humorous to lighten the situation as people were nervous about sharks. We had a great time. The captain was super knowledgeable and really cared for these sharks.
Great tour. A must do!! Lots of sharks came.
