Fun adventure! - Lily and Coley were a great team! Very friendly and knowledgeable about the sharks species and behaviors!!!

Sickest experience EVER !! - The whole thing was so well explained and made it so comfortable for any arising nerves. I love sharks and we got so lucky the day was beautiful and they were happily coming up to the boat when we got to the spot. It felt like plenty of time to see them and enough time to get comfortable enough to start swimming alongside them. Highly recommend, definitely coming again just to do this. Highlight of my life as a die hard shark lover! Stay safe and enjoy Hawaii !!

Senior Trip - We were a large group from Alaska on a senior trip to Hawaii. It was such an awesome experience and the students had a blast and saw 14 sharks! The crew were amazing and helped everyone feel comfortable in the water with the sharks. A great experience!

Came back multiple times! - Outstanding experience - so much so this has become a staple occurrence of Oahu trips! It’s a small boat experience, super friendly. The experience of seeing the sharks this close up is incredible. I learned so much about them, and their unique undulation is so elegant! Thank you for this memory.

Everyone was super... - Everyone was super friendly and made sure everyone felt welcomed. Great music and a boat ride as well. Plus the sharks were super cool to see up close

Had a great time with a... - Had a great time with a great crew, we even got to see a whale on the way to the dive point. Would recommend to everyone

Great - Great Crew The Gentlemen taking the photos is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 with the camera. Sharks were super friendly and were up and close. Water was beautiful money well spent

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.

Good experience, can be crowded, may be difficult to get out of or into boat - Overall, the experience was cool. There are a bunch of companies that do this and they are close to the cheapest. With pretty positive reviews, figured why not. The staff was pretty friendly and knowledgable. The boat was a full tour and it was a little overwhelming because it was fairly crowded. The trip itself was nice and they also stopped for some whale watching which was cool. Though it was the correct overall allotted time, it felt like our time in the water wasn't very long. We saw a total of probably 6-8 Galapagos sharks and that was it - all around 6-8ft long roughly. Obviously you can't predict nature but a larger variety would have been nice. The staff required us to stay pretty close to the boat, and on one side, so the snorkeling was also fairly crowded which is a negative. I understand it can be a safety issue having everyone everywhere and not close to the boat but it felt too close and confined. A big issue my wife and I had were getting out of the water onto the boat. They had a ladder but did not use it for some reason. It was difficult to get out of the water and into the boat without a ladder. My assumption was that our tour was mostly comprised of 20-30 year olds so maybe that's why they didn't bother (I don't know).
