A Thrilling Shark Adventure

Come face-to-face with these denizens of the deep!

Your adventure begins with a short 15-minute boat ride that will take you three miles out from Haleiwa Small Boat Harbor. You'll take in the breathtaking views of Oahu's North Shore and may even encounter dolphins, green sea turtles, or majestic humpback whales (December-May).

When the water turns a deep cobalt blue and reaches depths of 200-400 feet, the shark cage, which floats on top of the water, is lowered and in only a moment's time you will see sharks rise from the deep! At this point, you'll have the opportunity to enter the very secure shark cage for as long as you wish (those in your group who do not wish to enter the shark cage, may book the half-price Boat Tour rate, and watch sharks from the boat).

Please choose from the following tours:

Cage Tour: Enjoy a boat ride, and the opportunity to enter the shark cage!
Observer Tour: Enjoy a boat ride, but you cannot go in the shark cage. You may watch the sharks from the boat.

This thrilling experience will profoundly affect your feelings towards sharks. Typically you will encounter Gray Reef Sharks, Galapagos Sharks, and Sandbar Sharks, ranging from 5 to 15 feet in length. Occasionally, there have been visits from the mysterious Tiger or Hammerhead Sharks!

The Boat & Crew: The Kailolo, meaning "Water Crazy," is a 26-foot Anderson boat with a swim step on the transom. The crew has had life long ties to the sea and their first priority is your safety and well-being. They enjoy sharing with you their knowledge of Hawaii's sharks and their goal is to lead you to a better understanding of sharks.

We felt very safe & that was our number one issue. Staff was outstanding, we are going again in a few days. We will be telling all our friends what a great time we spent with the sharks.

Sharks in June:

This was a great trip and exceeded our expectations. Seeing sharks circling up from the deep to come and feed in close attendence with Trumpetfish and a random Tuna was a sight I will never forget. The water was so blue and clear that it w ...More

Would go back tomorrow:

A really proffesional activity, the staff were friendly and attentive, funny and informative.

We started the day being scared of sharks and ended up wanting to pat them! Probably not a good idea though as they have big teeth!

Awesome Shark Adventure:

This was an awesome experience. You can't get any closer than this to live sharkes in the oceans. I could have reached out and touch them - but highly discouraged to do so.

This is an awesome experience and a great way to view shar ...More

FanFreakinTastic!!!:

This was by far the best adventure I've ever been on and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, which is very different from most touristy things I've done in Hawaii where once is enough.
