Adventure channel in real life! - What a fantastic trip. This was not just a swimming with the sharks experience. We had quite the adventure boat riding the swift boat. We got to see whales so it was a whale tour as well! The team was great. We all felt very safe and informed. Our captain Lily was the best. We swam in open water with Sharks!! Can't describe how Cool it was you will need to go yourself, but go with this outfit.

Outstanding Crew, Incredible Wildlife. A Must-Do Ocean Outfitters Tour - I cannot recommend Ocean Outfitters enough. I was a bit anxious the night before, but the moment we arrived at 7:00 a.m. (which I’d definitely recommend for calmer conditions), that anxiety melted away. From the start, it felt like joining a highly professional, welcoming, and genuinely passionate crew. We were guided by an incredibly attentive team: two safety divers in the water with us and the captain diving alongside us as well. Having that level of expertise and presence made us feel completely safe while still allowing us to truly experience the dive. The instructions were clear, calm, and reassuring. Swimming cage-free with Galapagos sharks was nothing short of magical. When the sharks appeared, everything felt serene. Being so close to these magnificent creatures was humbling and wholesome in the best way. I love being underwater, and it was obvious that the crew loves the ocean just as deeply. You could hear it in how they spoke about marine life, and feel it in the respect and care they show toward the animals and the sea. A special shout-out to Cullie, who captured absolutely stunning underwater photos!! The photo package is 100% worth it and something you’ll treasure long after the dive. As if the experience couldn’t get any better, on the way back we encountered humpback whales. We watched them breach… even catching a double jump. Mahalo to Kevin (captain), Gunnar (safety diver), and Cullie (safety diver & photographer) for an unforgettable morning. Ocean Outfitters delivers professionalism, safety, joy, and deep respect for the ocean. I would do their cage free shark tour again in a heartbeat.

10/10 - find the yellow boat!! - Do this tour. Find the yellow boat and do this tour. The captain and his team are amazing. They really care about everyone having a good experience. Their gear is excellent; the boat is great; they have amazing shark locations; and they are also just fun people. This is worth it (and do the photos!). We swap with 5 Galapagos sharks and were expecting a couple of tigers that were spotted in the area. Surreal experience and nice to know the guides are covering all angles and helping you approach the sharks correctly. On the way back to shore the crew spotted a pod of humpbacks and took us up close on an unscheduled watching adventure. Really awesome team who just wants to show you a bit of their dream!

Best shark dive experience! - It was one of my couple times being in the ocean and I was pretty scared not going to lie. All the divers made me feel really comfortable after like 5 minutes in the water and ended up diving down a bit. All super friendly, and I definitely recommend to all.
