A must do once in a lifetime experiencel - I had a fantastic experience with the team, the staff, and the people. They are very knowledgeable and attentive, and as a solo traveler, I felt reassured knowing I was in good hands. We had the opportunity to see several sharks, and I wasn't scared at all; they made sure we stayed calm and understood exactly what to do. Overall, it was a great experience. If you have a fear of sharks like I do, you'll learn to appreciate them as long as you respect them, and they will respect you in return.

Experience and personality matters ❤️ - Awesome group of people! Both the instructing driver and photographer were quite friendly and approachabl. They were happy to chit chat and answer all our questions. The captain was great at being informative and safe while also helping with any reassurances the group may have had. The staff mentioned they had been in business for well over ten years and had a great spot, as where with newer teams, it can be more of a shot in the dark. I really enjoyed not being contained to a cage. It was so relaxing!

Outstanding Ocean Life Experience - My Open Water Shark Dive excursion with Hawai’i Adventure Diving was exceptional from beginning to end. I’ll treasure the memories of snorkeling while watching 5 Galapagos sharks swimming through sunbeams in the water the whole 45 minutes we were n the water. The crew members, Captain Stacy, Lucas, and Danny, were so knowledgeable and clearly focused on safety for both the humans and ocean life. I learned a lot from Lucas’s overview of how to safely snorkel with sharks. I look forward to receiving my photos from the professional photographer Danny who did a great job of splitting his time between each customer who wanted photos. Captain Stacy had the perfect combination of confidence and customer focus. She was wonderful to interact with. In addition to seeing the sharks we saw various wonderful fish including a barracuda and trunkfish 🐟🌞 I’m now trying to figure out if I can rearrange some of my plans for my last days of my 1-week vacation in Hale'iwa to see if I can go on another trip with them 🌈

THE ONE YOU WANT! Mind blowing shark dives! - Want to dive with sharks? Want to get pictures with sharks? Want to swim with sharks? These guys are the real deal. Wholeheartedly recommended! Safety is prioritized and the crew is professional and experienced. Do yourself a favor and book with them! Mahalo to the amazing Nick, Terry, and Capt Kevin for keeping us safe and introducing us to the awesome North shore sharks! P.S.: Pictures by the incredible Terry Flanagan. Don't miss out on the photo package, it's worth it!

Bucket list material - This was one of the best experiences I've ever had! Captain Stacy and her crew Nick, and Annika were so informative and answered every question we had. They made us feel safe and prepared for getting in the water. The view was breath taking and I can't recommend this enough to anyone even a little on the fence. Just do it, you won't regret it!

Beware - I emailed the company plus Viator to let them know I was not able to get in the water or do the experience for me and my daughter. The water was so rocky the boat was very rough and felt like it would tip over; I threw up and was not able to get down the ladder or into the water due to how rocky and powerful the waves were. My daughter with autism was very scared and disappointed she could not swim with the sharks. I was not offered an apology or partial or full refund which I feel was the fair and just thing to do. I am very disappointed and I hope the company makes this right.
