Had a great trip to see at least 10 galapagos sharks! Never felt threatened. Guides were lovely & kind. Husband & three kids enjoyed it as the "best thing we did on vacation!"

The boat was top of the line. The captain and his crew were very nice people. We saw lots of sharks a would recommend Haleiwa shark tours to anyone. They also had a photographer on boat taking videos and pictures at an additional cost. Was worth paying the extra for the videos . Our videos had lost of whales sounds on it and I also saw two wales heading back. Thanks for the good time !

These guys were so good! My suggestion is to go on the earliest tour to get the calmest water. Both of the guys were knowledgeable and super cool. I loved that this is a Hawaiian owned company because I love supporting local. We came across this company by a fluke and I’m super glad we did! Definitely recommend this company and this experience!!

Had a wonderful experience with Haleiwa Shark tours! Got to see so many Galopogos sharks even before we went in to the cage. Even got to see a whale out in the distance.

We had a great time with Derek and Lono as our guides on 4/2/24! We saw lots of sharks and 2 whales off in the distance, which Derek and Lono drove us closer to see. The swells out at sea were rougher than we expected. Suggest medication.

Excellent tour, we saw so many sharks and a couple of humpback whales. Small boat so it felt personal/lots of time in the cage. Worth the seasickness (thank you to the guides who were very kind).
