What you can expect

We are North Shore Shark Adventures…Hawaii's original and most experienced shark tour. In our shark cage snorkel dive experience you will come face-to-face with sharks about 3 miles (4.8 km) off the north shore of Oahu. With a snorkel and mask, dive into the Pacific Ocean to view these incredible creatures in their natural environment from the comfort and safety of a custom-built cage.

After a safety briefing, depart from the Haleiwa Boat Harbour and head out to sea. Take in the North Shore vistas on this gentle ride in a custom-made aluminium boat, which include a canopy for shade and cushioned seating for comfort. Once at the shark viewing area, the cage is placed in the water. It floats at the surface, and when you enter the water you can choose to float or dive a few feet down while still in the safety of the cage. The bottom of the cage is approximately 7 feet below the surface.

With visibility that can reach 150 feet (45 m) or more, you can see the sharks come up from the cobalt-blue depths of the ocean. Watch as sharks ranging from 5–15 feet (1.5–4.5 m) in length circle only inches away from the cage. Viewing the sharks in their natural environment is a true wonder. Expect to see Galapagos sharks, sandbar sharks, all with unique traits that your guide shares through informative narration. Other marine life can possibly be seen such as: Spinner Dolphins, Barracuda, Mackerel, Tuna, Flying Fish and Humpback Whales (January-March).

Our cage can hold up to eight people comfortably which allows small families to experience their shark dive together. No chumming is necessary as the sharks are attracted to the sound of our motors which they interpret as a crabbing vessel and a potential food source. Guests are encouraged to bring their own underwater cameras for the opportunity to capture the best footage of Hawaiian sharks anywhere. Disposable cameras and a video option are also available for purchase.

Myself and my 19 year old son both had a blast! This was the coolest thing we have ever done. Definitely the best excursion both of us have been on. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the sharks we were swimming with, giving us lots of cool insights. On our trip we saw at least 15-20 large sharks swimming around us. We went in December so I was worried about the deep water being too cold, however it was perfect! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TRIP! It wasn’t near as scary as I anticipated, the sharks had such a cool demeanor. Not scary— yet very thrilling!

What a great value and what a great experience. Having a phobia is watching jaws when I was very young, they were very reassuring, and the safety being inside a cage gave me an experience I could never have before. It was only an hour and a half with the 30 minute ride out in 30 minute ride back with plenty of time in the cage. I got lots of videos of sharks going right by me from the safety cage. Great job great.

This was a great experience and the crew was friendly and knowledgeable. We went there around noon and the sea was pretty choppy. Luckily we could make it even though it was bit rough. But the experience of viewing sharks was amazing. We saw around 5 sharks and couple of them were pretty big. Our kids had an amazing experience and highly recommend it. The crew mentioned that the best time to view is early morning when the weather is calm. Overall great experience.
