I almost did not book... - I almost did not book this experience due to misconceptions and inaccurate information regarding sharks. I am not a strong swimmer and have near drowning experiences in pools and oceans, and I can tell you that this is very safe, and there is nothing to be afraid of, but just tackling the fear you create yourself. The crew is very knowledgeable, and passionate about sharks. Its fun, safe, the ocean view and boat ride is awesome, and looking at all those sharks in a safe environment, was very nice! I recommend this experience; you will enjoy it.

So much fun! - I went with my husband and it was our 2nd time. Our 1st time was a little over 2 years ago and I went in with my niece. My husband stayed on the boat. This time it was only my husband and I and we both went in the cage. The water was really rough this time around, more so than last time, and I was only able to stay in for a few minutes because it was just too much for me. My husband stayed in a lot longer. There were a lot of sharks swimming around and it was great! I highly recommend this tour!!! That's why I've done it twice! The crew are wonderful and really friendly and do an amazing job. We had a fascinating experience and will do it again whenever we come back to Hawaii!

Absolutely Incredible Experience! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Experience! Shark cage diving was 100% worth it — truly one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done! The water was a stunning shade of blue, surprisingly warm, and we saw so many sharks up close. I was a little nervous at first, but the guides were incredibly kind, professional, and made us feel completely safe the entire time. The whole experience felt very well organized and secure, and once I was in the water, the excitement totally took over. It’s something everyone should do at least once — an absolute must-do adventure! 📝 Tip: If you get motion sick, take Dramamine the night before. One person in our group got seasick, but the rest of us had a fantastic time.

Fantastic Experience - This was an amazing experience!!! The guides were friendly and informative. You will definitely see sharks, potentially dolphin and flying fish. Waters can be rough (for those not used to sea travel). Highly recommend!

Lots of sharks! - Our guides were fantastic! They were friendly, knowledgeable and took good care of us. We saw lots of sharks!!! Even though the weather was a little tough, it was well worth it. We bought a couple of t-shirts and rented one of their Go-Pros. We highly recommend!
