Loved every part. They are a great company with local and knowledge staff. They really took the time to teach and make sure you are comfortable and well prepared. I was scared to go, but they made it so much fun that I was able to relax and enjoy the experience. Such an awesome time. Tip: go early in the morning for a calmer ride.

A Truly Incredible Experience, Family Friendly and Unforgettable

Our shark cage diving trip with Haleiwa Shark Tours was absolutely amazing, truly the highlight of our time in Oahu Hawaii. From the moment we stepped on the boat, we felt like we were in great hands.

The tour is run by a father and son team, Derek I believe the father’s name was. both Native Hawaiians who were not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also warm, genuine, and passionate about what they do. They shared fascinating facts about the sharks and ocean, and created an experience that felt both exciting and deeply respectful of the marine life.

One thing that really stood out to us was how family friendly they were. We brought our almost two year old on board, and they were so welcoming. Not once did they make us feel like a burden or out of place. That kind of kindness and understanding goes a long way, especially when traveling with little ones.

And their boat? Hands down the nicest in the marina big, clean, comfortable, and clearly well taken care of. It added a touch of luxury to the whole adventure.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience that’s both thrilling and rooted in authentic Hawaiian hospitality, Haleiwa Shark Tours is the one to book. We’d do it again in a heartbeat.

And on top of all that, we saw so many sharks! It was absolutely incredible.

Mahalo Haleʻiwa shark tours!

We had the best time ever on our tour! It was my husband and I and then our two boys (4 & 8). After our week long trip in Oahu, it was at the top of the list of activities we did. Captain Derek and Captain Lono were amazing! My youngest (who chose not to get in the cage) got a little sea sick and they were so kind about it. We saw 13 Galapagos sharks, they swam right next to us and even under us. We felt safe the whole time and I attribute that to the instructions that Captain Derek and Captain Lono provided to us. We were the first tour of the day and since everyone in that mornings group got there early, we got to head out a few minutes ahead of schedule. Definitely make sure to be there early. If you’re someone who may get sea sick, take some Dramamine. My husband is one that usually deals with it, he took some that morning and had no trouble at all. I’d recommend this 1,000 times over! My 8 year old is the one who wanted to go and I think he’ll cherish that memory for the rest of his life.

Crew was awesome. Gave us easy directions to get to the correct location. Very informative & laid back. The two guys we had truly enjoyed their job. We also benefited from a perfersonal photographer riding along for her photos with a payment but it is worth it for live action video & shots you will never forget!

An unforgettable experience that me and my family were able to enjoy. It was so amazing. I was nervous at first but being there was the opposite! Comma and Alexis were so great and super nice about everything. I would 100% recommend this experience.
