Must do while in Oahu! - When booking tours we love to book with local companies and this company did not disappoint. This experience was on all our bucket lists! Captain Lono and Kama were awesome. From checking in, getting everyone situated on the boat and detailing the experience on the ride out they were amazing. They made everyone feel comfortable and excited to get in the cage. They helped a few in the group with their seasickness while making sure the rest of us were safe and having a good experience. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone!!

Best shark experience on the island. - This was a terrific experience!! Highly recommend. We had family come visit so we took them out for a new experience. The crew was phenomenal and knowledgeable about the ocean and the beautiful Oahu island. The sharks were so beautiful and such calm graceful creatures. Definitely recommend this Hawaiian owned company for your visit and excursion experiences. Get out of the resort and explore the island you will not regret it!!!! Mahalo Nui to the team and the sharks for letting us see them in their ocean habitat.

Best shark viewing tour I’m certain because of the crew - We booked the tour it is the slow season so Adriana. Hit us up the day before to move us to earlier in the day . We agreed and I asked her for some tips while up in the area for the rest of the day . She of course sent a ton of things that she recommended and didn’t come across bothered at all sending . We got to the tour and Kama and forest were our boat captain and mate . I can’t say enough how nice and welcoming as well as informative and helpful they were. Truly an awesome experience and to boot they are a local family business not a corp charter. They were mindful and courteous even in helping a lady on the boat that really shouldn’t have been there if I’m honest. We saw a ton of sharks while in the water as well as pulling up to the area . Don’t hesitate for 1 second booking with them . The 3 people we had interaction with definitely enhanced the experience of from just seeing sharks in the wild to an overall top notch and personal experience with this tour. Thank you Kama , Forest and Adriana once again . You were all wonderful ! Albee and Ashley

Excellent experience! - Captain Derek and his crew ensured we had a great experience. They meet all expectations we had to see and learn about the sharks. The day before they sent an detailed instructions with pictures about where to park and the exact dock the boat would be located. The boat was clean and his instructions were clear about the safety features and how to enter & exit the cage. We had plenty of time in the cage and saw quite a few sharks. On the way out we also saw spinner dolphins! I highly recommend choosing this company!

Support Hawaiian 🤙🏽 - This is the only Native Hawaiian-owned shark cage tour and it was such an unforgettable experience. The crew was full of aloha, made us feel comfortable, and being in the water with the sharks was unreal. Also learned so much about the sea life while out there, and we got to see plenty from the boat too. If you’re gonna do it, go with the local ʻohana — you won’t be disappointed!

Cage diving with Sharks had been my dream for over 25 years - Cage diving with Sharks had been my dream for over 25 years, and I couldn't be in better hands. This was an amazing experience as they were super prepared, knowledgeable and take safety / care very seriously. Beautiful crystal clear blue water. My wife and I had a great time and are planning a second time with our families.
