Best snorkeling ever - Swam with 4 galapagos sharks. And even saw some whales from the boat, that we could hear underwater. One of the best experiences I’ve had. Crew is super nice, and they kept us safe. I would 100% recommend!!!!

Unique and Fun Experience on the North Shore - Awesome experience! Sharks immediately came to the surface when the boat arrived. The waters are definitely choppy and it makes snorkeling a little difficult, but still manageable. Tour operators also made sure we had a fun ride to and from the snorkeling site.

Awesome experience! Crew... - Awesome experience! Crew was extremely knowledgeable, put us on the sharks and kept us safe throughout the trip. As a bonus we got to see 5 or 6 whales on the trip back. Highly recommend this trip. Also take your Dramamine. It was a “calm” day and 1 or 2 people felt a little queasy.

100% you gotta do this - This experience was 11/10! I was worried about going by myself, but the team made me feel safe and informed. From the information before we got on the boat, to the fun experience getting to the spot with excellent music choice and a rollercoaster of waves (in the best way), and then actually seeing the sharks! Their curiosity was something I was excited to see. Once I was in the water I felt well taken care of by the entire team, and to be in the sharks home was way too cool. The people I met were just as amazing and everyone was just stoked to have a fun time! Going cage-free is the way to go for sure! The Galapagos sharks were so curious and friendly. This experience was absolutely surreal and I would 100% do it again. I can’t wait to see the photos that Emma took of us, so I can relive this experience.

Great experience, Bad management (kept canceling and rescheduling) - The experience was great and the team in the boat were very knowledgeable and helpful. From the captain (Tyler) to the photographer and the guide, all three of them were amazing and made us feel confident that they are on top of things and that the event will go smoothly. The only negative part was when communicating with the management team. They canceled on us once (a day before the event) and they tried to cancel again half an hour before our rescheduled time. By then, we were already at the location (45 minutes from Waikiki) and only after we all complained did they decide to go ahead and do the tour.

Shark! - It was an actual great experience throughout the tour! On the day that I went, the ocean was a pretty high tide that it was quite difficult to swim at first. But, I got the hang of it. Unfortunately, we didn't see lot of sharks swimming around but at least we saw a few!

Underwhelming Experience - My husband & I had an underwhelming experience. Do this activity when it’s summer time and prime time for Tiger sharks, there were only 2 Galapagos sharks in the water. The staff were okay, one staff member yelled at me for being outside the rope boundary when maybe they should ask your swimming level beforehand. It was honestly kind of pathetic. We had no independence in the water. $75 / person for photos was a scam - we only got about 10-15 photos. Would not pay the price again!
