Fun in the cage! - You’re only in the cage about 20 minutes. But it’s amazing! Also it’s not a large cage so expect to be touching others. It’s a little wild in the cage!

Adam & Caleb were... - Adam & Caleb were extremely knowledgeable about the sharks, and also prioritized our safety and comfort. They were extremely informative, so sweet, and all around great people. If you are anxious about this trip, they settle your nerves instantly. By far, one of the coolest and best experiences on the island. Also, make some extra time for this trip to explore this part of the island, it is so beautiful.

Close-Up With Tiger Sharks – A Must-Do in Oahu - We had an amazing time on our caged shark encounter in Oahu! My spouse and I felt very comfortable thanks to the crew, who made the whole process smooth and straightforward (special thanks to Miles!). The gear was decent, and we were lucky enough to see a few tiger sharks swimming right by the cage, even though we were the first group in the water. If I had one wish, it would be to have a little more time in the cage since it takes a bit for the sharks to appear. I’d also suggest either using a slightly larger cage or reducing the number of participants to about four at a time. The water can get rocky, and during our dive I got bumped in the head a few times by another participant who was just trying to steady themselves. One more recommendation: it would be fantastic if the cages were equipped with GoPros or Insta360 cameras. Getting a video of yourself in the water with a tiger shark swimming nearby is such a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it would make it even more special. Overall, though, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Oahu!
