Amazing time with sharks and people! - This was a great experience! Hard to explain the sensations but I think it’s a must. It may seem a bit scary but it’s super safe and the crew is fantastic. They explain everything to you very well and are great conversationalists and super attentive. We loved it!

. - Hi, Everybody. I am from Ukraine. Today is April 24, we just came back from this wonderful trip. I was kinda nervous before, but it wasn’t scary during that trip. I am impressed by that girl who is taking a photo. She is so brave. She swims with sharks. Other two guys were very positive and professional. We saw about 10 sharks. Thank you so much, guys!

Don’t look them in the eye! - Both of the guides were chill, knowledgeable, and funny. The water was CHOPPY and it was still a good experience. Would definitely recommend.

Must do!! So great! - This was great!! Took my two 10 year old niece & nephew & we all agreed it was the best thing we did. We saw 5-6 Galapagos sharks & then also had a 12’ tiger shark come. We also saw a barracuda & other fish. And we’re lucky also & saw 2 whales breach a few times on our way out. I’ve been to Oahu three times & Maui twice & this is by far my favorite thing I’ve done! The guides were awesome, so friendly & we had the best experience!
